Out of these devices, one of the most talked about smartphone launches of 2017 is that of the Nokia series.
What They’re Talking About: LG’s plans for MWC aren’t exactly a state secret.
Online speculation suggests Nokia plans to reintroduce the phone alongside a more premium device as an low-priced second phone option, creating a wave of nostalgia in the process. Like most new Android phones, it uses USB-C for fast charging and it has 32GB of storage. It is believed that we can see a bigger display this time. Although the company will not be unveiling any flagship phone on this year’s MWC, it will, however, launch a new tablet.
LG already teased and/or announced some of the G6’s features, and just about everything it failed to announce in advanced has already leaked from various trustworthy sources. Right now it seems unlikely that another premium device would be introduced so quickly.
Samsung’s big news for MWC 2017 is focused on new SOCs, including their recently announced Exynos 9. Even so, we expect it to be cheaper than the high-end devices that are going to be launched at the show. The most important event of the year in terms of mobile telephony is about to start.
As for the pricing, a previous report claimed that Nokia 3310 will cost around €59 (approximately Rs 4,189) and is also expected to launch in India in May. Samsung’s gobbling of the available SD835 SoCs is forcing LG to launch the phone with the well-known SD821.
The worldwide version of the Nougat-powered Nokia 6 is expected to be the same as the sell-out Chinese model, packing a 5.5in Full HD display, an octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 430, 4GB RAM, 16GB internal storage, a 16MP primary camera, 8MP front snapper, and a 3,000mAh battery. It will also be launching the Huawei Watch 2 which is expected to be more sportier than the last version. And as much as we are surprised by the comeback of the old man, we still wish it ran on Android OS. The Samsung press conference is scheduled on 26 February.
