Nokia 5G Phone With Snapdragon 765 Confirmed to Launch Next Year

Most Android vendors are embracing 5G technology in all its glory. Following the unveiling of theSnapdragon 765 Mobile Platformby Qualcomm at its Snapdragon Summit in Hawaii on Tuesday,Xiaomi and Nokia (HMD Global) have both announced plans to launch 5G smartphonespowered by the new chipset next year.

While Xiaomi President, Lin Bin, took to the stage at the Qualcomm event to announce that theRedmi K30 will be the first Snapdragon 765-powered device, Juho Sarvikas, the chief product officer at HMD, also made a presentation at the event to reveal that the company will soon launch a Nokia-branded 5G phone powered by the same chipset.

According to Sarvikas, the device will feature PureDisplay technology with HDR10 video playback, as well as ZEISS Imaging with support for 4K UHD ultra-wide video recording.“Our highest priority for 2020 is making 5G more accessible – bringing an affordable yet premium grade, future proof 5G experience for the best possible performance in NSA and SA networks with the Snapdragon 765 Mobile Platform”, he said.

With 5G all set to becomemore mainstream in 2020, smartphone vendors are working furiously to incorporate the new technology in their offerings next year. While almost all flagship devices have been virtuallyconfirmed to come with 5G connectivity, most mainstream Android OEMs are also set to releasemid-range handsetswith the latest cellular technology.

Sadly, though, recent developments suggest that 5G networksmay not be deployedin India any time soon, so it will be interesting to see if either of the two companies, or any of the other smartphone vendors for that matter, will bring their 5G devices to the country next year.
