Nokia has officially realesed a teaser stating that it is going to launch new devices on 5 December in Dubai. It has been rumoured that two devices will be launched; Nokia 9 with a penta-cam set up at the back, and the Nokia 8.1. The 8.1, however, is exected to the global version of the Nokia X7 which was launched in China last month.
While there may have been some doubts about the same, there is a possibilty that it might be true after all. The publication NokiaPowerUser has publsihed a report with what it claims are the official images of Nokia 8.1 and the marketing material for the device.
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.
