According
to the latest rumours, two Nokia-branded Android phones made by
Finland's HMD Global might be soon making their way to the market. The
leaks suggest that the 5.2-inch and 5.5-inch phones will sport 2K
resolution (QHD) displays and will come with IP68 certification, which
effectively means they will be highly resistant to water and dust on the
similar lines to phones like the
Samsung Galaxy S7
Edge and
Galaxy
S7.
As per a
report
by Gizmo China, the phones are rumoured to be powered by Snapdragon 820
chipset and will come with Z-Launcher System UI based on the latest
Android 7.0 Nougat.
The
phones is tipped to have an all-metal body and according to a report
by Nokia Power User both will sport an Oled screen. It also adds that
the phones might also pack fingerprint scanners, and will be based on
Android 7.0 Nougat. It says that "the sensors on these two smartphones
may be most sensitive ever and will be based upon Nokia's extensive
research on wonder material graphene."
Nokia Power User
has said that the official unveil for these two smartphones is planned
towards the end of 2016 but adds that their launch date will be
dependent on testing and development of the phones and might move to
first quarter of 2017.
In May this year, Nokia
said
that it has granted the newly-established HMD Global, the exclusive
global license to create and sell Nokia-branded mobile phones and
tablets for the next 10 years.
Nokia
was the world's top mobile maker before it was dethroned by Apple and
Samsung. The Finnish company's decision to choose
Windows Phone platform proved to be the
wrong one, and the company had to eventually sell its handset business
to
Microsoft for a consideration
of $7.2 billion (roughly Rs. 48,340 crores) in 2014.
