Nokia 8, Nokia 9 Processors Leaked; Nokia 2 Budget Phone Seemingly in the Works

While we are still waiting for the announcement of HMD Global's often-leaked flagship Nokia 9, a new leak has reportedly revealed the processors on the entire range of Nokia smartphones that will come out in 2017, such as the long-rumoured Nokia 8 and Nokia 9. While some of the processors fall in line with earlier leaks, the new information suggests that the company will also be launching a budget smartphone, named Nokia 2, later this year as well. 

As per the leaked information, provided by a tipster on Chinese website Baidu, Nokia 7, Nokia 8, and Nokia 9 will be powered by Snapdragon 630, Snapdragon 660, and Snapdragon 835 SoCs respectively, points out NokiaPowerUser.

While we already know about the processors on the already released Nokia 3, Nokia 5, and Nokia 6, the new leak suggests the presence of a budget segment Nokia 2 smartphone that will either feature a Snapdragon 202 SoC or a MediaTek processor.

As you might recall, the Nokia 9 has already been tipped to pack the Snapdragon 835 SoC in previous leaks. Notably, the recently leaked cases for the smartphone also reaffirmed the presence of a dual camera setup and indicated that it will come with a curved design.

In other specifications, the Nokia 9 flagship is expected to run Android 7.1.1 Nougat out-of-the-box and sport a 5.3-inch QHD (1440x2560 pixels) display. The smartphone has been tipped to be powered by Snapdragon 835 SoC coupled with a maximum of up to 8GB of RAM. The Nokia 9 has been tipped to come with 64GB of built-in storage.
