Nokia used to make great phones but the same cannot be said now. Though, the company is still trying its best to keep the business afloat. In fact, it even saw significant growth in recent years, thanks to its “Make premium looking cheap phones” strategy. Now it appears that Finish smartphone maker is coming back with the same plan in 2022. As per a report, Nokia Mobile will launch many Nokia X and G series 5G smartphones powered by Snapdragon 480 Plus processor in 2022.

Nokiapoweruser, citing sources, has reported that Nokia Mobile is set to launch new Nokia X and G series 5G smartphones in the second half of this year. Many of these smartphones are believed to feature the Snapdragon 480 Plus 5G processor under the hood.

The moniker of the upcoming X-series smartphones is yet to be known. However, the smartphones may carry support for a 120 Hz refresh rate. Even the premium G-series smartphones could offer a 120 Hz display, says the report.

It is expected that the forthcoming series of smartphones may include the Nokia XR21, Nokia X21, and Nokia X11.

As mentioned above, the handsets will likely be powered by a Snapdragon 480 Plus 5G processor which is an upgrade of the Snapdragon 480 launched in 2021. Although, the “Plus” SoC does not have much to offer except for a 200 MHz higher clocked A76 cores and Bluetooth 5.2 VS 5.1 support. The processor won’t be too big of a problem as long as the prices are competitive.

In related news, Nokia was the second top feature phone vendor in Q1 2022 after iTel. The Nokia 105 became the most sold feature phone in Q1 2022. The HMD-owned company witnessed an 87% increase in revenue in North America while Western Europe recorded a decent 37% growth YoY.
