Another new Nokia smartphone hits on FCC: Is it another low-end champion?

HMD Global might be prepping additional low-cost smartphone for 2019, according to a new filing on the FCC website.

Referenced as the Nokia TA-1124, the unexpected smartphone features Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 439 chipset. Announced as Qualcomm’s first 12nm processor, the Snapdragon 439 is an octa-core processor that goes up to 2.0Ghz, supports up to 8-megapixel double cameras, and can capture up to 1080p video at 30fps.

Elsewhere, the Nokia TA-1124 features double 13MP and 5MP rear cameras, an 8MP selfie shooter, 32GB of storing, 2GB of RAM, and a 5.99-inch display. The phone also features a 3,400 to 3,500mAh battery and a seemingly clean version of Android 9 Pie.

What’s stimulating is that most of the specs align with those of the Nokia 3.1 Plus. The only alterations between the Nokia TA-1124 and Nokia 3.1 Plus are the processor and RAM count. That means the Nokia TA-1124 could be an irregular of the Nokia 3.1 Plus that makes its way too dissimilar regions.

The Nokia TA-1124 could also be the latest entrant to Google’s Android One program. The program promises at least two years of major Android updates and three years of security patches.

At this point, HMD Global might wait until CES in January to publicize the phone.
