The new Nokia aka HMD Global[1] further broadened its smartphone line-up[2] on Tuesday with the launch of the entry-level Nokia 2[3] in India. While the Nokia 2 price in India is not yet known, the company said the handset will launch at a global average price of EUR 99 (roughly Rs. 7,500), which will be available mid-November. Though we don’t have an exact India price yet, it's clear that HMD Global is targeting the sub-Rs. 10,000 market, which it says accounts for 30 percent of India's smartphone market.
As for the phone, the Nokia[4] 2 has a 4,100mAh battery powering a Snapdragon 212 chip, 1GB RAM, and a 5-inch HD LTPS display, which allows it run for 2 days on full charge. In terms of optics, there's a 8-megapixel rear camera and a 5-megapixel fixed-focus front camera. Internal storage is disappointing at a mere 8GB, though it's expandable via microSD card (up to 128GB). The Nokia 2 ships with Android[5] 7.1.1 Nougat, but HMD Global has promised that it will get an upgrade to Oreo[6] in the near future. It has support for dual-SIM and 4G VoLTE.
OnePlus 5T shows up in press marketing render
We got another look at the upcoming OnePlus 5T[7] on Tuesday thanks to prolific phone tipster Evan Blass, who shared an image of the phone's top-half[8] on Twitter. It cements the view that the 5T would have a near bezel-less display, improving upon the original that released just earlier this year. Separately, OnePlus[9] co-founder Carl Pei tweeted an image featuring a blurred background, likely teasing a new OnePlus phone.
