Nokia 7 and Nokia 8: Mid-range Nokia Android phones

Nokia 8 has been leaked for several times this month. But this is the first time we’ve ever heard of Nokia 7. But apparently the retail names aren’t finalized yet, so they could end up with different names. However, keep in mind that Nokia 8 was also rumored to be a flagship with top specs. So, if this information is true, then perhaps the Snapdragon 835-powered phone will actually be called Nokia 9 or Nokia Edge.

In terms of Nokia 7 and Nokia 8 specs, both will feature the unofficial Snapdragon 660. This is Qualcomm’s latest processor which will succeed the Snapdragon 653 of last year. Nokia 7 will have a small screen, probably around 5″ with FHD resolution. Meanwhile, Nokia 8 will come with a bigger screen and 2K resolution display. Furthermore, the rumor also said that these two devices will have a different design than the Nokia 3, 5 and 6. They will feature very thin bezels and a new metal unibody design.

Nokia 7 and Nokia 8 will have fingerprint scanners, fast charging technology and big camera sensors. Nokia 8 was also rumored to have Zeiss optics. But Nokia refused to comment about this subject so nothing is certain right now. For now, these phones are expected to be announced in June along the official sale of other Nokia smartphones. Even so, it’s unlikely that we can get these phones before Q3.

Nokia 7 and Nokia 8: Will we see any Nokia flagship soon?

As we’ve said, Nokia is also working on a new flagship killer. The phone will feature the top specs and will likely put Nokia back on track in the Android race. But at this rate, we won’t be able to see it any time soon.
