HMD is getting ready to unveil its next smartphone under the Nokia branding, and this time it is the Nokia X, which is just a few days away from its launch. The handset has been again leaked in a new promo poster giving us an overall final look at the device and confirming everything from the previous leaks. The poster appears to be a Suning exclusive one, where the Nokia X will go on sale in China. As you can see the handset is inspired from the OnePlus 6.
While on the rear, you get similar design references from the Nokia 7 Plus, with vertical stacked Dual-Camera, of course, comes with Carl Zeiss lenses. Under the camera stack, sits a circularly shaped fingerprint scanner. So that bottom chin on the Nokia is useless unless you’re a fan of the Nokia branding on the front.
Moreover, if there’s a front chin, then the notch at the top of the display is only to sell it under an iPhone X like look alike as there’s no faceID or any other significant functionality within it. However, a software toggle might use it to hide the notch, then making it look symmetrical overall.
Another thing here to note is that this is not a flagship device by any means, but a mid-range device. The Nokia X will be powered by a Snapdragon 636 with 6GB RAM for the top of the line model. While the base variant could get a MediaTek Helio P60 with 4GB RAM.
The base price for the Nokia X will start from 1599 Chinese Yuan, which translates into $250, while the top shelf variant will require you to shell out 1799 Chinese Yuan, means $285. HMD has planned the launch event of the Nokia X on 16th May 2018.
