Nokia is the company behind everyone’s first mobile phone experience. The Finnish manufacturer has started making phones again three years after it sold its smartphone division to Microsoft.
Express reported that Nokia is going to reveal their best and biggest Android smartphone next weekend. Nokia P1 is set to launch at the Mobile World Congress 2017. Here is what it’s known so far. On the outside, Nokia is ditching the plastic build of its past Lumia phones, and it is taking another approach, a design more similar to the Apple’s iPhone.
It is rumored to have an all-metal body that is curved at the corner, very similar to many Android devices today. It will feature a 5.3-inch display covered in Gorilla Glass 5. It will make the phone resistant to drops and spills and it will come with an IPS7 dust and water-proof protection.
Nokia is not ditching the physical home button as some manufacturers did. The home button is embedded with a fingerprint sensor for faster locking and unlocking. The finger print scanner is on the back of the phone. As many flagship Android smartphones, the Nokia P1 is going to run Android 7.0 Nougat edition. With this software, the users are able to get all the features of Google’s Android software, including multi-windows apps, better battery life, and security. However, the Google Assistant feature is only available in Android 7.1 Nougat and above.
According to Dailystar, Nokia P1 is going to be powered by the same top-end Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 processor that is currently in the Galaxy S8. It will have 6GB of RAM and the option of either 128GB or 256GB of internal storage. The phone will come with 3,500mAh battery that should be able to withstand a whole day of use on a single charge. It is still unknown if the phone will have wireless charging, but it does come with USB Type-C connection with quick charge capabilities.
Nokia P1 will have 22.6-megapixel primary, rear-mounted camera. It will feature a Carl Zeiss-made lens for extra clarity, and it’ll come with auto-focus, flash, HDR and OIS. There is no official price at the moment, but some have suggested that the 126GB and 256GB models will come with a price of £500 and £600 respectively.
