the likes of the Redmi Note 7 Pro and vivo V15 Pro for the midrange crown in
China. The device offers a versatile camera setup with 48MP (main) and 8MP

6.39" 1080p+ LCD with a cutout for the front 16MP camera. Inside is the
Snapdragon 660 paired with 6GB RAM and either 64/128GB storage with microSD
expansion. The back features Nokia’s first triple camera setup with the f/1.8
48MP primary sensor, 120-degree ultra wide 8MP lens and the 5MP depth sensor.
The Nokia X71 starts at CNY 2,199 (US$ 325/€ 290) for the
64GB model and goes up to CNY 2,699 (US$ 400/€ 355) for the 128 GB version. mPre-orders
