Additionally, an HMD Global Nokia 8.1 smartphone has surfaced on Geekbench. The listing suggests that the phone is running on Android 9 Pie and is powered by the Snapdragon 710 SoC with 4GB RAM. The Nokia X7 also runs on the same processor and this sighting reaffirms the aforementioned rumour of the smartphone being rebranded as the Nokia 8.1 for its global launch. If this turns out to be true, the Nokia 8 series of smartphones, going by the hardware, will be categorised as an upper mid-range smartphone, making way for the rumoured Nokia 9 PureView smartphones that could be the company’s new flagship lineup. However, as Nokia has not announced this, we suggest you take the information with a pinch of salt.
