New Leak Confirms Specs, Features of Nokia 8.1, Global Version of Nokia X7
HMD Global is holding alaunch in Dubai in the first week of December, and while the flagship Nokia 9 is imaginably more exciting because of itsalleged penta-camera setup, Nokia also plans to launch two other phones at the same event. These would be the global versions of Nokia X7 and the successor to Nokia 2.1 (two-dot-one).
Nokia, like Xiaomi, Huawei, and some other brands greatly focused on India and China, usesdifferent (and utterly confusing) namingfor thesame phones in different regions.

However, there have been recent speculations that the device, codenamed “Phoenix”, wouldinstead be named Nokia 8.1and marketed as a successor to the Nokia 8. Now, there’s more evidence in favor of this speculation as a set of marketing material has been leaked byNokiapoweruser.
These presentation slides pointing to Pheonix being used extensively for marketing purposes as well as punchline of “Expect more“. The source also claims to haveinsider info confirming the launch of the smartphone on December 5in Dubai.
The Nokia 8.1 Plus aka Pheonix aka X7 is powered by Snapdragon 710 with the options of 4 and 6GB of RAM and 64 and 128GB of storage. It features a 12MP+13MP dual camera setup on the back with a 20MP camera on the front. Despite a single camera on the front,the notch on the Nokia 8.1 Plus is observably largerthan what can commonly be seen on other phones including Nokia 7.1, Nokia 6.1 Plus, 5.1 Plus, and thealleged Nokia 9.
Meanwhile, Nokia has also confirmed alaunch event for the Indian marketthe very next day, but here, it is expected to launch the Nokia 7.1 including a potential red variant. The device runs on Snapdragon 636 and offers you a choice between 3 and 4GB RAM, and likely to compete with the likes of Redmi Note 6 Pro and Honor 8X.
