‘These are the Nokia phones to be launched soon’

After a quiet autumn, the Finnish HMD Global – licensee of Nokia Mobile – is preparing to pick up the thread again in the spring. The first device that Nokia Mobile will reveal is the Nokia 1.4, later supplemented with devices in the Nokia 6, 7 and even the Nokia 8 series.

First and second quarters

Nokia would like to launch at least three phones in the first and second quarters of 2021, according to a report by Nokiapoweruser. After a ‘quiet autumn’ at the Finnish smartphone manufacturer, it will resume the thread of the rapid launches.

The first device that Nokia will reveal is the low-end Nokia 1.4; its predecessor, the 1.3, was introduced in March. There is speculation for the successor about a launch in February, although no confirmation has been received from Nokia.

Nokia 1.4

Previous rumors indicate that the low-end phone will cost less than 100 euros, so the suggested retail price is in line with the Nokia 1.3. The Nokia 1.4’s screen has a 6.51-inch diagonal, with an HD + resolution. Internally we find a ‘quad-core chipset’ clocked at 1.3 GHz, which chipset Nokia uses is not yet certain. As far as storage memory is concerned, you will only find 1 GB RAM in the Nokia 1.3, together with 16 GB storage memory. Finally, the phone includes a 4,000 mAh battery and two cameras with an 8 MP and 2 MP resolution respectively.

Nokia 6.3 / 6.4 5G

After the launch of the Nokia 1.4 in February, HMD Global continues its way towards the Nokia 6.3 / 6.4 5G. The design of the Nokia 6.2 successor has already been leaked, but this time more details have been leaked about the launch of the phone. Nokiapoweruser states that Nokia will introduce the phone in late March or early April, possibly together with the Nokia 7.3 / 7.4 5G.

A Snapdragon 480 chipset is said to be found on the specifications list of the Nokia 6.3 / 6.4 5G; the device also has a 6.4-inch screen with a Full HD + resolution and on the back of this phone we see a camera setup with four sensors, of which the main camera has a 48 MP resolution and would be equipped with ZEISS lenses. Other sensors on the back of the phone are wide angle, macro and depth cameras. Resolutions and other details about these sensors are as yet unknown.

The base model of the Nokia 6.3 / 6.4 5G, which contains 3 GB of RAM and 64 GB of storage memory, is said to be for sale in Europe for 249 euros. It is not yet known what other storage configurations will be available on the Nokia 6.3 / 6.4 5G.

Nokia 7.3 / 7.4 5G

The third device for the first and second quarter of 2021 is the Nokia 7.3 / 7.4 5G. The launch of this device is planned for “late March or early April” – the phone is expected to be launched alongside the Nokia 6.3 / 6.4 5G.

Unlike the Nokia 6.3 5G, the 7.3 / 7.4 5G uses the Snapdragon 690 chipset that we know from the OnePlus Nord N10 5G, among others. The Nokia phone is expected to come with 4 GB RAM and at least 64 GB storage, with the option to purchase a 128 GB model. The Nokia 7.3 / 7.4 5G’s screen has a 6.39-inch diagonal, has a Full HD + resolution, and supports a 90 Hz refresh rate.

On the back of the Nokia 7.3 5G we also find four camera sensors, the main camera of which has a 48 MP or 64 MP resolution. There would also be a 12 MP wide-angle camera, a 2 MP depth and a 2 MP macro sensor. Finally, the Nokia 7.3 5G is expected to contain a 5,000 mAh battery and the suggested retail price is approximately 399 euros for the variant with 6 GB RAM and 64 GB storage memory.

Not a high-end phone

For the time being, Nokia is missing a high-end phone on this list: the launch of the Nokia 9.3 PureView has been anticipated for a long time, but it seems to be postponed every time. It is not known whether HMD Global still wants to commit to a high-end phone. What is known is that Nokia will probably launch the Nokia 8.4 5G later this year, together with the Nokia 5.5. Details about those phones are still scarce.
