HMD Global, the company behind Nokia-branded handsets have scheduled an event for August 4 to launch a new smartphone in China. The teaser poster gives us a glimpse of the device in blue color with an accented customizable key.

The upcoming Nokia device will be the first smartphone by the brand in China after more than a year. The last smartphone, Nokia X71 was launched back in April of 2019.

The teaser does not say much about the forthcoming handset except for the color and customizable key, which the company uses for Gooogle Assistant in international markets. However, there’s a high chance of this phone to be the recently spotted Nokia TA-1258 on TENAA.

If that’s the case, then we are looking at a budget smartphone powered by an unknown 1.6 GHz octa-core processor paired with 2GB RAM and 32GB internal storage. It will sport a 6.99-inch HD+ (720 x 1440 pixels) LCD panel with 18:9 aspect ratio and no fancy notch or punch-hole.

Further, the phone will come with an 8MP primary camera and a 5MP selfie camera. It will also a boast fingerprint sensor at the back. Last but not least, the device will run Android 10 and will be backed by a 3,040mAh battery with no support for fast charging.

A new Nokia phone had appeared in the database of the TENAA regulatory body of China earlier this week with minimum specs like dimensions, display size, and battery capacity. TENAA has updated the listing of the smartphone with its entire specs and images. It is a 4G phone with budget-friendly specs. Unfortunately, the name of the device is under wraps.

The TENAA listing of the Nokia TA-1258 reveals that it has a 5.99-inch display that offers 720 x 1440 pixels HD+ resolution. There are thick bezels surrounding the display and the Nokia brand name is visible at the lower bezel. The handset offers an aspect ratio of 18:9. The handset measures 159.6 x 77 x 8.5mm and it is likely to arrive in color editions like Nordic Blue and Sand Gold in China.

The Nokia phone is driven by an octa-core processor that ticks at 1.6GHz. The unknown SoC is assisted by 2 GB of RAM. The device has a built-in storage of 32 GB and it has a microSD card slot for extra storage. The handset boots to Android 10 OS. It remains to be seen whether the device arrives as an Android Go smartphone.

The Nokia TA-1258 has a 3,040mAh rated battery. There is no support for fast charging on the device. It has a front-facing camera of 5-megapixel. On its back is an 8-megapixel main camera. The listing states that the main snapper supports 2x optical zoom. A fingerprint reader is available on the backside of the smartphone. ‘

It remains to be seen whether the Nokia TA-1258 arrives as Nokia 2, Nokia 3 or Nokia C series smartphone. Now that the phone has surfaced in TENAA with all the important details, it is likely to go official soon in China. It is unclear whether HMD Global will be making the device outside of China.

The post Unknown Nokia TA-1258 specifications and images emerge in TENAA’s database appeared first on Gizmochina.

HMD Global may have a new Nokia smartphone in the pipeline as seen from a recent listing on China’s TENAA. The phone which has model number TA-1258 has been spotted at the Ministry.

Only a few specifications have been revealed such as the display which is 5.99-inches and the battery capacity which is 3040mAh. It is also stated that the device measures 159.6 x 77.5 x 8.5 millimeters.

Based on the aforementioned details, the phone most likely belongs to the budget mid-range category. So we are probably looking at a new model for the Nokia 2, Nokia 3, or Nokia 4 series. It might even be a new model for the Nokia C series.

Last week, it was reported that the Nokia 2.4 was seen on Geekbench. The device is powered by the Helio P22, has 2GB of RAM, and runs Android 10. We don’t know if it is the same device that has made its way to TENAA but time will tell. Yes, the battery is small for a successor to the Nokia 2.3 which itself has a 4000mAh battery and even packs a larger 6.2-inch display but the Helio P22 is a more powerful chipset than the Helio A22 inside the Nokia 2.3.
