Android OEMs have begun to roll out Android 12 stable update for their eligible devices. Just like last year, Samsung is ahead of everyone. But surprisingly, HMD Global is also doing better than last time. The company has now started seeding out the Android 12 stable update for its third phone – Nokia G50.

According to a Nokia Phones Community member who goes by the name of Krisaal (via Nokia Power User), HMD Global has kickstarted the Android 12 stable update rollout for the Nokia G50, at least in Finland.

Since the company is known for seeding software updates in multiple markets at the same time, the latest system update for Nokia G50 should be also available in other regions. We expect the firm to reveal these first wave markets via an official announcement very soon.

Apart from Nokia G50, the Android 12 stable update is also available for Nokia X20 and Nokia X10. All three smartphones have one thing in common and that is none other than their chipset – Qualcomm Snapdragon 480.

This could be the reason why HMD Global is able to deliver the new Android update faster for these handsets compared to last year. It is easier for the firm to develop software builds for devices with the same silicon.

Hopefully, the company delivers the update to the remaining eligible smartphones on time.

It was just a few days ago that HMD Global announced it has a launch event scheduled for October 6. You’d expect that any product announcement it has planned will be unveiled on that day but that isn’t the case as the manufacturer has unveiled a new smartphone today – the Nokia G50.

The Nokia G50 is the fourth smartphone from Nokia to be powered by the Snapdragon 480 5G chipset, the other three being the Nokia X10, Nokia X20, and the Nokia XR20 rugged phone. It is also the first of the Nokia G-series to have 5G support.

Recent reports have revealed that Nokia is working on a new tablet called the Nokia T20. The tablet was previously spotted with model numbers TA-1392 and TA-1397 on retailer sites from UAE and the UK. These model numbers were spotted at the Eurasian Economic Commission (EEC) certification site in July. Now, the aforementioned models along with another variant TA-1394 have received approval from China Quality Certification (CQC) platform. The CQC certification is yet another hint that it may not take too long for the tablet to go official.

The CQC listing reveals that the alleged Nokia T20 will carry support for 10W fast charging. Reports have revealed that the tablet will be equipped with a Unisoc processor, which includes the Mali-G52 GPU. This indicates that the device will be powered by Unisoc T618 or Unisoc T700 chipset.

The Nokia T20 tablet is expected to arrive with a 10.36inch display and it will come preinstalled with Android 11 OS. The device may offer 4GB of RAM and 64GB of built-in storage.

The upcoming Nokia tablet is likely to arrive in Wi-Fi only and Wi-Fi + 4G variants. The former may cost around £190, whereas the latter could be priced at around £207. It may come only in Blue color.

In related news, a new Nokia phone with a TA-1399 model number has also received CQC certification. Its CQC listing reveals that it may also ship with an 18W charger. The identity of this device is under wraps. The Nokia G50 5G smartphone was spotted with full specs and images at TENAA certification earlier this month. Hence, it appears that that the Nokia T20 tablet, TA-1399 Nokia phone, and Nokia G50 5G may go official soon in China.

HMD Global announced three new phones last week – the Nokia XR20, the Nokia C30, and the Nokia 6310. A new leak has revealed that there’s a handful of more devices coming, and if all goes well, they all should launch before the end of the year.

The source of the leak is Evan Blass, the prolific leaker who goes by @evleaks on Twitter. Earlier today, he revealed a list of upcoming Nokia devices from HMD Global, some of which are familiar.

The list includes the Nokia T20 tablet that leaked last week. It also has the Nokia G50, a device that was spotted on a UK retailer’s website a few weeks ago. The tweet reveals the Nokia T20 is codenamed “Riddler” while the Nokia G50 is codenamed “Punisher”.

Upcoming devices from HMD Global:
– Nokia T20 "Riddler"
– Nokia G50 "Punisher"
– Nokia G300 "Aoki"
– Nokia X100 "Deadmau5"

— Evan (@evleaks) August 2, 2021

Other devices mentioned by the leaker are the Nokia G300 codenamed “Aoki” and the Nokia X100 which is referred to internally as “Deadmau5”. Unfortunately, the specifications of these devices were not revealed but may surface in a future leak. Regardless, we want to believe the Nokia G300 and Nokia X100 may be upper mid-range devices.

Nokia is apparently working on a new smartphone. This device will a part of the company’s G series of handsets, as a retailer listing for the Nokia G50 was recently spotted online.

According to a NokiaPowerUser report, the smartphone maker is planning on launching a new device that will be in the same series as its G10 and G20 smartphones. The listing was spotted on a UK retailer’s website that featured a Nokia G50 Blue dummy unit with EAN and MPN. Unfortunately, the listing did not reveal any specifications or finer details regarding this upcoming smartphone, nor did it feature any image of the device.

The only thing that was discernable was that the manufacturer was the Finnish tech giant. Although, a few speculations based on its name can be made regarding this device. The Nokia G50 would clearly be placed higher than the currently available G10 and G20 devices. In other words, it might arrive with some capable hardware at a reasonable price range as it is a part of the G series.

The ‘G50’ name also implies that the company could also be working on an X50 5G model as well. For those unaware, the brand had previously launched the X10 and X20, along with the G10 and G20 in the past. Unfortunately, this is still just speculation at the moment, so take it with a pinch of salt for now and stay tuned for more updates.
