Nokia had a few things planned for MWC
2020, but in light of coronavirus developments it will need to reschedule. Not
that we were looking forward to that one in particular, but a certain Nokia
TA-1212 device that's been in the making for a while was likely going to be
part of the roster and now we'll probably never get to see it. Chinese telecom
regulator TENAA has a new listing for it, which is the next best thing.
The database entry is missing photographs
at this point but has plenty of numbers in it. A handset measuring
123.8x52.4x13.1 and weighing 88g grams looks a lot like the form factor of the
existing Nokia 220 4G. The 2.4-inch display with 240x320px resolution and
1,200mAh battery point in the same direction as well.
The handset comes with some
downgrades - RAM's listed at 8MB which is half the 220 4G's, and the 16MB of
storage are less than the 24MB the current model comes with. The camera remains
at 0.3MP. We expect the announcements of the Nokia smartphones that were
planned for MWC to come in the following weeks anyway, the TA-1212 included.
