Nokia 8.2 5G that could be powered by the upcoming Snapdragon 735 chipset is said to be the next major phone from HMD Global. Based on the reports surrounding the Nokia 8.2, it can be said that it won’t be a flagship but an upper mid-range phone. Previous reports had claimed that the Nokia 8.2 may arrive in two variants – a 4G LTE edition and a 5G variant. A fresh report on Nokia Power User claims that Nokia 8.2 will only arrive in 5G version and it may debut at the Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2020 tech trade show in February next year.

The report claims just as the company dropped the idea of releasing two variants of the same phone as it did with Nokia 6.1 and Nokia 6.1 Plus by launching only Nokia 6.2, it will use the strategy with Nokia 8.2. There is also a possibility that the Nokia 8.2 may arrive in the market with a different moniker. Whatever the name of the device will be, it may come only in a single 5G edition at MWC 2020.

The Nokia 8.2 5G may arrive in the market in three variants such as 4 GB RAM + 64 GB storage, 6 GB RAM + 128 GB storage and 8 GB RAM + 256 GB storage.

The rear shell of the Nokia 8.2 5G could be featuring a round-shaped quad camera system with a primary sensor of 64-megapixel.

The Nokia 8.2 5G will be an attempt from the company of making a 5G phone available at an affordable price tag. It is rumored to debut with a price tag of around $500 in the U.S.
