This new Nokia X71 is the first handset from the company to sport a triple camera setup and a punch-hole screen design just like the Galaxy S10 phones. Besides that, the device also comes with a glass-sandwich design along with dual tone finish, a 48MP rear camera, and also Android One. It is said to come as Nokia 6 (2019) or Nokia 8.1 Plus or Nokia 6.2 in the global market.

Nokia X71: Specs & Features

The handset sports a 6.39-inch FHD+ PureDisplay panel with an aspect ratio of 19.5:9. With the hole-punch display, it has a quite impressive 93 percent of screen-to-body ratio. Powering the handset is a Snapdragon 660 SoC, coupled with 6GB RAM/128GB of storage, which is expandable via a microSD slot up to 256GB.

As mentioned, it has a glass-sandwich design with a metal frame and a rather strange LED flash placement. At the back, it sports a triple camera system and a fingerprint scanner under the camera module. The setup includes a 48MP primary Zeiss-branded camera with an f/1.8 aperture and an 8MP 120-degree ultra-wide-angle camera and a third 5MP depth sensor. Up front, it comes with a 16MP selfie camera with an f/2.0 aperture. Its cameras are supported by AI-powered features like scene recognition, and it is claimed to capture bright, clear, low-noise and pure pictures in many low-light conditions.

As for software, it ships with the latest Android 9.0 Pie at launch, and since it is a part of Google’s Android One, it will be more likely to get faster updates from Google. A 3,500mAh cell will keep the phone up and running with support for 18W fast charging standard.
