Unannounced Nokia 8.1 Makes a Surprise Entry to AR Core Supported Devices List

HMD Global’s upcoming Nokia 8.1 smartphone is now listed on the official AR Core supported device list which is managed by Google. The AR Core supported device list usually gets updated every month and it’s that time of the month again. Alongside the Nokia 8.1, other smartphones released in recent times such as OnePlus 6T, Huawei Mate 20X, Sony Xperia XZ3, Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 and so on also get listed on the website. But all these phones were officially launched by the manufacturers, but the unannounced phone is the Nokia 8.1. If we believe the rumours, HMD Global is expected to unveil the Nokia X7 as Nokia 8.1 in global markets. In the past, we have seen the Nokia 6.1 Plus making the AR Core supported devices list two weeks ahead of the official launch, so it’s entirely possible that the Nokia 8.1’s launch is around the corner.

Nokia 8.1: This Could Be the Global Version of Nokia X7

For the uninitiated, HMD Global, the Finnish upstart company recently launched the Nokia X7 smartphone in China, further extending its X series of phones. When the device got launched, everyone assumed that the X7 would make into global markets as Nokia 7.1 Plus because the Nokia X5 and X6 were launched as Nokia 5.1 Plus and Nokia 6.1 Plus outside China. But that seems to be not the case with Nokia X7 as the company will be bringing to other markets as Nokia 8.1. At the same time, HMD will be converting the Nokia 8 series into an upper mid-range lineup.
