As of now, HMD Global only sells a single 5G smartphone in the form of Nokia 8.3 5G, which is also known as Nokia 8 V 5G UW with mmWave support in the US. This count may soon increase to five by the end of 2021 as the company is reported to release four 5G smartphones this year.
The information regarding the arrival of 4 new Nokia-branded 5G smartphones comes from the sources of NokiaPowerUser. According to the publication, these devices will not be launched together. Instead, two of them will debut in the first half of 2021, followed by the other two in the second half.
As of now, the exact names of these handsets are not known. But NPU speculates them to be the successors of Nokia 5.4, Nokia 7.3, Nokia 8.3, and Nokia 9 PureView. Hence, they could end up as the following models.
- Nokia 5.5 5G
- Nokia 7.4 5G
- Nokia 8.4 5G
- Nokia 9.x PureView
Also, the publication says that Nokia 7.4 5G should be one of the two smartphones releasing in the first half of the year. And also suggests it to be powered by the newly announced Qualcomm Snapdragon 480 SoC. But interestingly, it does talk about the recently leaked Nokia 6.3/6.4, which we think is a strong contender to launch early as its design is already out.
Hence, consider this alleged list of upcoming Nokia 5G handsets with a pinch of salt except for the fact that we could expect 4 new Nokia 5G smartphones in 2021.
