HMD Global has announced a couple of phones this year such as the Nokia 8.3 which is its first 5G phone and other 4G phones such as the Nokia 5.3 and Nokia 1.3 and the resurrected Nokia 5310. A rumor going round has revealed key details about a new phone said to be the Nokia 6.3.

A report by MySmartPrice says the Nokia 6.3 is coming, and the info comes along with some key specifications.

The upcoming mid-range phone is said to have a Snapdragon 670 or Snapdragon 675 processor inside it.

The source also reports that the Nokia 6.3 will have four rear cameras with Zeiss lens. Sadly, there is no info on the camera configuration. However, the front camera is said to be a 16MP sensor.

With respect to design, the Nokia 6.3 may come with a waterdrop notch HMD Global like its predecessor and should have a PixelWorks display chip for upscaling SDR to HDR.

The launch is set at Q3 which is still months away but the pandemic may cause the date to be adjusted.

After four years, OPPO updated its Find series by launching the Find X smartphone with 3D facial recognition. Compared to 3D structured light module that is allow about unlocking the phone by 3D facial scanning, ToF is more suitable for long-distance 3D information collection such as 3D mapping phone’s rear view, which suggests this technology will be soon widely accepted by other smartphone manufacturers.

During the last four years, OPPO has mainly concentrated on selling mid-range and high-end phones through its R-series under 3,000 Yuan (~$435) pricing. The upcoming R17 series are expected to arrive as the first phones with sixth generation Corning Gorilla Glass and in-display fingerprint scanner. The R17 duo are fueled by the newly introduced Snapdragon 670. Also, both phones are equipped with 25-megapixel AI selfie camera.

The Snapdragon 670 has not been officially unveiled yet. However, there are rumors a phone from 360 Mobiles will be the first to launch with the chip. New reports say Xiaomi also has two phones in the pipeline that will be powered by the processor.

The info comes from the editor-in-chief of XDA Developers, Mishaal Rahman. In a tweet posted last night, he said that the Chinese giant has two devices powered by the Snapdragon 670 in development. He adds that the phones are codenamed “Comet” and “Sirius”.

Xiaomi has (at least) 2 devices with the unannounced Qualcomm Snapdragon 670 (sdm670) in the works: "comet" and "sirius".

Also confirms @rquandt's report which showed sdm670's little cluster has 6 cores and the big cluster has 2 cores. (targetconfig.xml in /vendor/etc/perf).

— Mishaal Rahman (@MishaalRahman) April 7, 2018

If we were to take a wild guess we would say one of the two phones is the Mi Note 4. This makes sense since the Mi Note 3 is powered by a Snapdragon 660 processor. For the second phone, our guess is the Mi Max 3 but that is a long shot. Notwithstanding, the release of both phones are probably still months away, so there is enough time to find out if our guesses are correct.

Apart from the codenames for the two phones, it is also revealed that it has been confirmed that the Snapdragon 670 indeed has a 2+6 CPU core arrangement.
