Nokia is anticipated to launch several smartphones on Feb. 26 at its MWC event. One of these devices is expected to be a new Android-based phone dubbed the Nokia 3, but very little was known apart from its name - until now.
A new leak has now revealed the supposed specs of the Nokia 3, along with its release date and price.
This leak comes courtesy publication Nokia Power User and its veracity is still circumspect.
Nokia 3: Specs And Features
The device is expected to have either a 5.2-inch or 5.3-inch 720p display. Per the leak, the Nokia 3 will be powered by a quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 425 processor, which clocks at 1.4 GHz.
The smartphone will come with 2 GB of RAM and 16 GB of on-board storage. The storage space of the Nokia 3 could be expandable but no details are available. The Nokia 3 will also house an Adreno 308 GPU.
The leak also reveals that the upcoming device will come with a 13MP rear camera and a 5MP front-facing camera.
However, perhaps the most surprising and satisfying detail to be leaked is that the Nokia 3 will ship with Android 7.0 Nougat on board. Nokia's decision to include the latest OS may help in propeling the device's popularity after it is released.
Price And Availability
The leak also reveals the expected price at which the Nokia 3 will be sold. The Nokia 3 is anticipated to bear a price tag of 150 Euro (about $159) at launch.
Taking into consideration the smartphone's basic specs and features, this price seems reasonable enough and suggests that the company is targeting budget conscious buyers.
It is not known for certain when HMD Global will release the Nokia 3 and whether it will be made available in all countries or a select few.
The Nokia 3 will launch at the company's MWC event and may likely hit the shelves in March or April.
Other Devices
Nokia is also expected to launch two other devices during the MWC - the remastered version of the Nokia 3310 and the Nokia 5.
The Nokia 3310 will not be a smartphone and it will be very similar to the older version. It is mainly expected to find favor with consumers due to its nostalgic value.
The Nokia 5, on the other hand, is expected to boast a 5.2 inch display, house 2 GB of RAM and 16 GB of storage just like the Nokia 3. However, its expected price tag is around $199.
