The Nokia 7 Plus on the other hand is said to be sport a 6-inch full-HD+, 18:9 display, apart from a dual rear camera setup (12-megapixel + 13-megapixel sensors), 4GB of RAM, and 64GB of inbuilt storage. Unlike the Nokia 1, which is said to run Android 8.1 Oreo (Go edition), the Nokia 7 Plus is expected to be an Android One smartphone.

We now get to the recent China launches that are expected to make global debuts at the Nokia MWC 2018 event, the Nokia 6 (2018) and the Nokia 3310 4G. The biggest design change HMD Global has made since the 2017 iteration of the Nokia 6 is the placement of the fingerprint sensor, bringing it to back panel (as seen below). The company has also dropped the capacitive keys that were seen on its predecessor, but retained the 16:9 display aspect ratio. It has a metal unibody design that is made of 6000 series aluminium.

Nokia 6 (2018)

The Nokia 6 (2018) is powered by an octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 630 SoC, coupled with 4GB of LPDDR4 RAM. HMD Global has provided a 16-megapixel rear camera sensor on the Nokia 6 (2018) and an 8-megapixel camera front camera. It also supports the Nokia Dual-Sight technology letting users capture simultaneous shots from the rear and front camera sensors to create a ‘Bothie’.

Nokia 3310 4G

The Nokia 3310 4G on the other hand differs from the original by actually running a smartphone OS – YunOS, which is a forked version of Android. It sports a 2.4-inch QVGA (240x320 pixels) colour display. 256MB of RAM, 512MB of onboard storage that is expandable via microSD card (up to 64GB), 2-megapixel rear camera sensor with LED flash, and a 1200mAh battery, apart from 4G VoLTE connectivity.
