IFA (Berlin ranks) alongside CES (Las Vegas) and MWC (Barcelona) as one of the major tech shows of the year. Just like other tech shows, it is a convergence of manufacturers, investors, tech journalists, and consumers.
Some manufacturers also usually announce new products at the event. HMD Global has confirmed it will be attending and we expect it will announce a couple of new Nokia phones.
The announcement was made on Twitter by Juho Sarvikas, the Chief Product Officer of HMD Global. This will be the first time the manufacturer will be attending the trade show.
The attached image says there will be an event on September 5 at 4:00 PM. IFA actually begins on September 6 and will run through till September 11.
There are a bunch of phones we expect HMD Global will unveil. There is the Nokia 8.2 which is rumored to have a 32MP pop-up selfie camera and run Android Q out of the box. There is also the Nokia 6.2 and Nokia 7.2 smartphones.
The Nokia 7.2 is said to have a display with a waterdrop notch. It is also shown to have triple rear cameras arranged in a circular housing similar to that used by the Moto Z series. There will be a fingerprint scanner below the rear cameras and reports say a Snapdragon 660 processor and a 3500mAh battery will be under the hood.
A leak from last month revealed the Nokia 6.2 will also have an FHD+ display, triple rear cameras, a Snapdragon 660 processor and a 3300mAh battery.
Both the Nokia 6.2 and Nokia 7.2 are expected to launch in China this month, so the IFA announcement should be the global unveiling.
All Nokia phones announced at IFA should be part of the Android One program and run stock Android out of the box.
We also expect HMD Global to announce one or two feature phones too.
