The Nokia 7.1 comes with a familiar all-glass exterior found on a couple of HMD Global’s recent budget phones such as the Nokia 5.1 Plus and Nokia 6.1 Plus. In addition, the phone features a notch and a bottom bezel with Nokia branding on the front. It has a 5.84-inch 1080p screen and is powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 636 octa-core chipset. As for the memory, the listing mentions 3GB of RAM and 32GB of onboard storage which is expandable with a MicroSD card. However, we’re quite sure this is the base variant and there will be pricier options with more storage. There are two camera sensors on the rear — a regular 12-megapixel lens and another 5-megapixel snapper for depth-sensing. There’s also an 8-megapixel camera for selfies. Like other Nokia phones, the Nokia 7.1 too is part of Google’s Android One club. Therefore, it comes preloaded with a stock build of Android 8.1 and will be first in line for future updates. Android Pie is already available for some of the phones like the Nokia 7 Plus. Hence, it’s possible HMD Global may launch the Nokia 7.1 with the 9.0 update out of the box. The phone was earlier spotted on FCC, so the American launch is almost confirmed.
