Nokia D1C
One of the first new Android-powered devices to bear the Nokia
name is set to be the D1C, which we've so far seen leaked in three different
benchmark databases. And while one of those pegged its screen size at
13.8", the reality is that this will in fact be a phone, according to a
new rumor on the matter.
Well, not one phone, but two
actually. Apparently we're set to see a lower-end 5-inch Nokia D1C with a 1080p
touchscreen, 2GB of RAM, a 13 MP main camera, an 8 MP selfie shooter, and 16GB
of built-in storage. It will be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 430 chipset,
sporting a 1.4 GHz octa-core Cortex-A53 CPU and an Adreno 505 GPU. It will run
Android 7.0 Nougat.
Another D1C variation will keep
all of those specs, except for packing a bigger 5.5-inch display (with the same
1080p resolution though), a 16 MP rear camera, and 3GB of RAM. Both models are
already in the prototype testing phase, say purportedly reliable sources.
Additionally, one or both of them might look similar to what's pictured in the
renders above.
No clues about pricing have been
outed yet, or any specific release time frame. Nokia could make these official
at MWC in February, or it may hold a special event of its own at some other
time for their introduction.
