HMD Global Unveils three smartphones Nokia 2.1, Nokia 3.1, Nokia 5.1 in Russia

Finnish Smartphone maker HMD Global has unveiled three smartphones in Russia namely Nokia 2.1, Nokia 3.1 and Nokia 5.1. However, there is no confirmation yet when these phones shall be made available in other countries. Some leaks are pointing to Nokia 5.1 Plus or Nokia X5 smartphone to be launched. A Nokia smartphone with model number TA-1109 has got a certification for Bluetooth recently. This is the same device which recently stopped by at China’s CCC for certification. While the certification does not reveal much details about the device, it does confirm that the smartphone will be powered by a MediaTek chipset. The certification confirms that the device will support Bluetooth 4.2.

While there is no clarity on which Nokia device does TA-1109 represent, it could be the rumored Nokia 5.1 Plus. A recent leak revealed that HMD Global is working on a MediaTek-powered smartphone called the Nokia 5.1 Plus and it is possible that TA-1109 is the 5.1 Plus or Nokia X5. In addition, two more models of the Nokia X6 – TA-1083 and TA-1116 – have also been spotted in Bluetooth certification listings. It shall be clear in near future that HMD Global is planning to introduce these phones in other markets as well.

The Nokia smartphones with model numbers TA-1083 and TA-1116 are said to be international variants. The TA-116 was spotted in a Russian certification even before the Nokia X6 was officially launched in China last month. The smartphone is the first device from Nokia to offer a notched display. Nokia X6 was an instant sell out in China when it was offered on sale. As we had posted earlier HMD Global was launched the Nokia X6 in China, last week. The phone has been up for sale through JD.com, Suning.com, and Tmall.com in China. The first sale witnessed the entire stock selling out within 10 seconds of sale’s commencement. The next sale for the phone is slated on May 30, 2018. The Nokia X6 was launched last week in China with iPhone X style notched display and Snapdragon 636 SoC.

HMD Global has already confirmed that it plans to bring the Nokia X6 to markets outside of China. It is not clear when these devices will become available in other markets but judging by these listings, the launch for these devices in global market seems imminent.
