Nokia
has confirmed that the company is all set to launch a clamshell phone at a
launch event in China on 24th December. However, before you get any idea, let
us clarify that the company is not going to launch a foldable smartphone.
Since
companies are now launching foldable smartphones with clamshell design, some of
you might think that Nokia is doing the same. However, that’s not the case. The
company is set to launch a traditional clamshell phone.
Although,
the company has confirmed that the upcoming clamshell phone — Nokia 2720 will
come with two displays — one on the inside and other on the outside and both
will be able to display different information. While
the company has not revealed the phone’s features and specifications, thanks to
China’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, we know what to expect
from Nokia’s upcoming device.
It
reveals that the Nokia 2720 has an internal screen of 2.8 inches and an
external screen of 1.3 inches for display of caller ID, date and time. Further,
the phone comes with the T9 physical keyboard for input method.
As
for the software, the device runs KaiOS 2.5.2 and is equipped with a
2-megapixel camera sensor for taking images. Under the hood, the device is
powered by a 1,500mAh battery and it remains to be seen how the battery
performs with two displays.
Since
the phone runs KaiOS, it will come pre-installed with some applications.
Further, the device also supports 4G connectivity. The phone also has a
emergency button that can be used to send emergency text messages, including
the current location and can also make calls to five emergency contacts preset
in the address book. To
know more about the device, including its pricing and availability, we’ll have
to wait for a few more days as the launch will happen on 24th December.
