Nokia 7 And 8 Will have Snapdragon 660, New Metal Unibody Design
The return of Nokia is being more powerful than expected, as the three models of its new series with Android OS had a good reception both by users and by the specialized press. The Nokia 3, Nokia 5 and Nokia 6 strolled through the Barcelona MWC showing very interesting features and associated with pure Android with almost immediate updates. So, it’s a good move by the Finns.
The high range model that had been rumored for the Snapdragon 835, the most coveted processor of the moment. This new high range model was automatically related to the future Nokia 8 that had been seen in some leak, but it seems that will not be so, although its processor will remain high. The Snapdragon 660 has appeared on the scene and has also been linked to the future Nokia 7.
So, the Nokia 8 along with the new Nokia 7 would be less powerful than we thought. However, not without ceasing to have good performance, as the Nokia 6 already does. Though this processor has not been officially announced by Qualcomm but is already in tests.
It has even seen in some benchmark with great scores to be a processor aimed at the mid-range smartphones. Hence, it would not be a bad choice for the more expensive Nokia in the catalog, but still, it leaves us a bittersweet taste if we consider that, at least for the Nokia 8, we expected the most awaited iconic Snapdragon 835 SoC.
However, apart from all these things, the new Nokia 7 and Nokia 8 both will feature very thin bezels along with a new and sturdy metal unibody design. While if we talk about the camera and the back design, then both the device will feature a very different look from what we have already seen so far in the Nokia 3, Nokia 5 and the Nokia 6.
Moreover, it is also expected that the upcoming Nokia 8 could even have the Carl Zeiss optics as well. But, yet it is not clear that when we should expect these two Nokia smartphones (Nokia 8 and Nokia 7) to hit the market. However, if we go through the rumors, then Nokia 8 and Nokia 7 may hit the market by the month of May or June (2017).
