Nokia is super swift in all aspects, let it be software update rollout or device release. Having said about a new device from the OEM, the upcoming Nokia X release date is now public. A source from a Chinese website mentions the Nokia X release date to be May 16, 2018. This device will be the first in the Nokia’ premium series that will sport the notch on display. Notch is not at all new to the Android users. iPhone X made it popular and then onwards we are seeing many OEMs are deriving the similar concept for their devices.

Though Nokia X is a bit different in this aspect. In the front display at the bottom, there is a Nokia branding. That actually sets it somewhat apart from other devices that come with same infinity display design. You can find one of our latest post to see the Nokia X photos which come from authentic sources. The phone will have dual camera set-up with dual LED-flash.

Regarding under-the-hood aspects, we believe Nokia X will pack Qualcomm Snapdragon 636. We expect since it is more of a premium smartphone and with respect to its expected processing capabilities, the Nokia X may run Android 8.1 Oreo out-of-the-box.

The Chinese source also drops another close up authentic photo of the Nokia X. The phone according to its design looks beautiful but we hope it delivers premium level performance as per the Nokia standard.

Again in another piece of additional good news for Nokia’s devout fans, the OEM is hinting towards the relaunch of the notorious Nokia N8 of the N-series fame. HMD Global probably believes in the saying Old is Gold. The source actually mentions how the old Nokia N8 was released on 27th of April back in 2005. We expect this date may be the sign of a first look or other proper teasers for the N8. Again the source mentions of waiting between April 27th and 2nd May to know more about this.

 

So, both of the news definitely ups the excitement of the Nokia fans into another level. Since Nokia X release date is now final, crossing our fingers is all we can do. We will also wait for any other final leaks that may surface regarding this phone.
