This is a big one. An unexpected leak just confirmed
what we've suspected all along - the upcoming Nokia 8.1 powered by the
Snapdragon 710 chipset is indeed the codenamed Phoenix smartphone we've been
hearing about.
It's all in the leaked press materials explicitly
saying "Phoenix" more than one time and at first glance, the hardware
is identical to the Chinese Nokia X7. The leak comes just in time to clear the
confusion before the December 5 event in Dubai. We can now say with almost
complete certainty that the Nokia 8.1 would be one of the three phones
introduced there.
