smartphone that bears a model number of TA-1117 was spotted on the website of
China’s TENAA telecom authority. The specifications of the smartphone is yet to
appear on the TENAA listing, but it does include its images.
The Nokia 3.1 Plus TENAA images show that the
handset is equipped with a tall aspect ratio display at the front. The back
panel of the phone features a vertical dual camera setup followed by an LED
flash and a fingerprint reader. As far as the specifications of the Nokia 3.1 Plus, they have been
already through its Indian launch. It is a slightly advanced version of the
Nokia 3.1 phone that was announced in May.
The Nokia 3.1 Plus is fitted with a 6-inch IPS LCD
display that offers an aspect ratio of 18:9 and HD+ resolution of 720 x 1440
pixels. It measures 159 x 76.4 x 8.2mm and weighs 180 grams. The handset is
fueled by MediaTek MT6762 (Helio P22) chipset that includes 2.0 GHz octa-core
processor. It is packed with 3,500mAh battery.

HMD Global is yet to confirm on the launch date of

teasers for the upcoming Nokia X7 (Nokia 7.1 Plus) smartphone that is scheduled
