HMD Global jumped on the notch train this year starting with the Nokia X6 which launched internationally as the Nokia 6.1 Plus. The Nokia 5.1 Plus (Nokia X5 in China) came next and then the Nokia 7.1 and the Nokia X7 which will launch globally as the Nokia 8.1.

Nokia 8.1 a.k.a Nokia X7

If you don’t like these phones because they have a notch, then you may be comforted to know that HMD Global will not release another phone with a notch. The info comes from Twitter account Nokia anew (@nokiamobileru) which has posted details about Nokia phones that turned out to be true.

According to the account, the Nokia 6.2, which should be the successor to the Nokia 6.1/Nokia 6 (2018) will not have a notch. Instead, it will feature an “interesting solution” as the account puts it. The rest of the tweet says “Thus Nokia 8.1 can complete the Nokia “notch parade” in the Nokia line-up”.

The camera comes with features like True Life HDR, Bokeh mode, Pro Camera mode, Livestream functionality, and Bothie. On the front side, it comes equipped with an AI-backed 8MP snapper for taking selfies and video calling. The Nokia 7.1 gets its juice from a 3060mAh battery with fast-charging that fills about 45% of the empty battery in 30 minutes. Other features include a rear-mounted fingerprint sensor as well as connectivity options such as Dual 4G VoLTE, Wi-Fi 802.11 ac (2.4GHz + 5GHz), Bluetooth 5, GPS + GLONASS and NFC.
