HMD Global is preparing to bring several
new smartphones to IFA 2020. There are no flagships among them, instead the
company has focused on bolstering its entry level and mid-range offerings. The
Nokia 2.4, code name Wolverine, will be fairly large with its 6.5” screen and
4,500 mAh battery, according to leaked info. Compare that to the 2.3, which has
a 6.2” screen and 4,000 mAh battery.
The new model will be powered by a
MediaTek Helio P22 chipset as seen in this Geekbench result (octa-core
Cortex-A53 at 2.0 GHz and PowerVR GE8320 GPU). The phone runs Android 10 on
only 2 GB of RAM. The leakster says that this model will have 16 GB storage and
that there will be a 3/32 GB variant as well. The rear has a 13 MP main camera
joined by a 2 MP depth sensor and a flash. The phone will come with a Light
Purple color among other colors. The selfie cam
will have a 5 MP sensor.
The mid-rangers will be the Nokia 6.3 and
7.3 (whose launch got delayed). Not much is known about them, except that the
Nokia 7.3 may use one of the new Snapdragon 700-series chipsets with 5G
connectivity (and there will be a 4G model for markets with no 5G coverage).
The 6.3 will have to settle for a Snapdragon 670 or 675 chipset.
Both phones will have quad cameras on the
back with ZEISS optics. Their predecessors, the Nokia 6.2 and 7.2, were very
similar, the main differences being that the 7-series got the better chipset
and better image sensors. The 6.3 generation will likely be the same.
