In October, HMD Global had launched the Nokia 7
mid-range smartphone in China and since then it has been unavailable outside of
the country. Fresh information suggests that the recently spotted TA-1041 phone
could be the international edition of Nokia 7. The global launch of the phone
is likely to begin at the start of 2018.
Just as the Nokia 6 was exclusively available in
China at its launch and later on it was made available in wider markets, the
Finnish firm is also expected to bring the Nokia 7 to global markets after
selling it exclusively in China.
HMD Global is speculated to debut the Nokia 9
flagship phone alongside a 2018 edition of Nokia 8 on Jan. 19. There is a
possibility that the Finnish firm may use the same platform to announce the global
edition of the Nokia 7. However, there is no official confirmation on the Jan.
19 launch event.
The Nokia 7 had received over 1.5 million
registrations in China before going on sale and it was sold out in few minutes
through its first flash sale. The Nokia 7 includes a 5.2-inch IPS LCD screen
that produces full HD resolution. It is the first Nokia phone to be driven by
Snapdragon 6XX series chipset. The 4 GB and 6 GB RAM variants of the phone are
powered by the Snapdragon 630. Apart from the internal storage of 64 GB, it
also features a microSD card slot for additional storage.
The rear panel houses a 16-megapixel camera that is
enabled with dual-tone LED flash. It has a frontal shooter of 5-megapixel. It
includes a 3,000mAh battery that is coupled with 18W fast charging. In the home
country, the Nokia 7 is available in two variants. The base model featuring 64
GB of storage and 4 GB of RAM is priced at 2,499 Yuan (US$ 381) whereas the
higher model with 64 GB of storage and 6 GB of RAM is carrying a price tag of
2,699 Yuan (US$ 411).
