The leaked images reveal specifications like 6.18-inch display, Snapdragon 710 SoC, 3,500 mAh camera and more which coincide with the Nokia X7.

The company has been using the tagline "Expect More" across its social media channels and we see the same taglines used in the leaked marketing material.
What the report also reveals is that the new device is also known as Nokia Pheonix. I know, we're confused too. Whateever it is, we surely have some clarity next week.
