After releasing the Nokia 8 flagship, HMD Global is
now getting ready to announce a significantly less pretentious smartphone.
Apparently called Nokia 2, the upcoming device was first seen last month in
some photos revealed by the FCC (the US Federal Communications Commission).
Now, we can share a new, and pretty important detail about the handset.
According to
documents shared by the FCC, the Nokia 2 packs a 4,000 mAh battery - the
largest we've seen inside a Nokia-branded Android phone thus far. Such a
generous battery might be able to last 2 days on a single charge, especially
since the rest of the handset's features shouldn't be too power-hungry,
possibly including a 5-inch display with 720 x 1280 pixels, and a Qualcomm
Snapdragon 212 processor. Just like the other four Nokia smartphones introduced
this year, the Nokia 2 will run near stock Android Nougat.
For now,
there is no word on when the Nokia 2 is expected to be announced, and neither
on where and for how much it will be sold. In any case, the smartphone will
almost certainly cost less than the slightly superior Nokia 3 (sold for about US$ 160 unlocked).
