which is the Nokia 7.1 Plus and another one without the notch which will be the
Nokia 7.1.

be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 710 SoC, will have dual-rear cameras and
rear-mounted fingerprint sensor. It is expected to sport a 6-inch Full HD+
display, 4/6GB RAM, 64GB storage with a slot for microSD card.
Though the Chinese version of the Nokia 7.1/ 7.1

out of the box. Either way, we will know more details in the coming months.
