Nokia will not be making smartphones itself, considering that it no more has the manufacturing facilities it did at its peak. It will just be acting as the owner of the brand and its patents, while overseeing the development of new phones,which will be made by HMD global; a new company that was created earlier this year. HMD will be pairing Nokia’s patents and brand with Foxconn’s R&D and manufacturing.
According to a new report by NokiaPowerUser, Nokia D1C is expected to launch at a starting price of Rs 9,999. HMD Global has been maintaining a stance that Nokia will make its comeback purely on quality construction and competitive pricing. At Rs 9,999, Nokia could take the market by surprise and go against the likes of Xiaomi and Lenovo – the dominant players in that price segment.
Nokia is planning to announce D1C in two variants with 2GB RAM and 3GB RAM options. The 2GB RAM variant will probably be priced Rs 9,999 while the 3GB RAM version will be priced Rs 12,999. NokiaPowerUser report also notes that this price is not from its usual source and needs to be taken with a pinch of salt. Nokia D1C is expected to be powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 430 processor and will run Android 7.0 Nougat based on Z-Launcher UI. The smartphones are reported to come with only 16 gigabytes of onboard storage.
Nokia D1C with 2GB RAM is likely to sport a 5-inch Full HD display while the 3GB RAM variant will get a 5.5-inch Full HD display. There will be 13MP and 16MP rear camera respectively on both variants while the front shooter will be a standard 8MP sensor. Nokia D1C is the new favourite for internet leaks and has turned from a giant tablet to smartphone in the course of these leaks.
