Nokia 1.4, 7.4, and 6.4 may now launch as early as Q1 2021

HMD Global may be close to launching the Nokia 1.4, Nokia 6.4, and Nokia 7.4 as early as February this year.

Highlights

  • Nokia 1.4 might launch sometime in February as per a report.
  • The Nokia 6.4 could launch towards the end of Q1 2021.
  • And finally, the Nokia 7.4 may debut in February or March.

Nokia's caretaker HMD Global is recklessly moving ahead to be one of the mysterious brands. And I say that because it has been over two years since the rumours around Nokia's flagship 9.3 PureView began to float. Besides that, there seem to be Nokia 7.3 (or Nokia 7.4) and Nokia 6.3 (or Nokia 6.4) and now the Nokia 1.4 in the pipeline. A fresh report now suggests these three phones might arrive as early as the first quarter of 2021. A second timeline may be towards the beginning of the second quarter.

As reported by Nokiapoweruser, the Nokia 1.4 budget smartphone may go official sometime in February, the Nokia 6.4 may be released in late Q1 or early Q2 of 2021, and finally, the Nokia 7.4 could be unveiled in February or March this year. The launches are spread over a span of six months, according to the report but HMD Global may as well combine the launch of at least two smartphones into a single event. I am guessing it would be Nokia 6.4 and Nokia 7.4 that would be released together.

These are just rumours and HMD Global is yet to provide an official statement on this. The Finnish company has not confirmed the existence of Nokia 1.4, Nokia 6.4, or Nokia 7.4 but there have been multiple instances where each of these handsets has been spotted on either a benchmarking site or a certification website. Which is also why most of the specifications of these smartphones are out there. The Nokia 7.4 and Nokia 6.4 could be 5G smartphones while the Nokia 1.4 will belong to the budget category.

Nokia 1.4 specifications

Nokia 1.4 will come with a large 6.51-inch LCD with 720p resolution. The Nokia 1.4 will be powered by a quad-core processor clocked at 1.3GHz. Now, the name of the processor is unclear. The report further mentions that Nokia 1.4 will have 1GB of RAM, which means it will have Android Go. There will be Android 10 on this phone, so guess it is going to be Android 10 (Go edition) on the Nokia 1.4. There will be 16GB internal storage, which seems so less for a 2021 phone but HMD is giving microSD card support for up to 128GB storage.

The Nokia 1.4 will come with a 4000mAh battery. The optics on the Nokia 1.4 are also going to be essentially basic. There will be a dual-camera setup on the back, consisting of an 8MP main sensor and a 2MP secondary sensor. These sensors will be assisted by an LED flash module. For selfies, there will be a 5MP camera on the front. The Nokia 1.4 will have a 3.5mm headphone jack and a MicroUSB 2.0 port but their location is not confirmed. There could also be a fingerprint sensor on the Nokia 1.4.

Nokia 6.4 specifications

The Nokia 6.4 may have appeared in the latest leak where it is codenamed Quicksilver. It may pack a Qualcomm Snapdragon 480 or a 690 processor inside that brings 5G connectivity. Reports also suggest there could be a 48MP quad-camera setup on the Nokia 6.4. There could be a 1080p display on the Nokia 6.4, as well as a 4500mAh battery with fast charging support.

Nokia 7.4 specifications

The Nokia 7.4 will be a mid-premium-range phone with support for 5G connectivity. It may have a 6.39-inch 1080p display with PureDisplay branding and maybe the 90Hz refresh rate. There could be a punch-hole for the selfie camera of 24MP. The smartphone could run the Snapdragon 690 processor inside. There could be a 64MP main camera on the phone but some reports have said HMD might keep the specifications low with the 48MP sensor.
