Recently, HMD Global launched the Nokia X7 in China which is expected to be rebranded as the Nokia 8.1 for the global markets. When the phone had debuted in China, it was supposed to arrive shortly in India. Now it seems that the day is not far, when we might get to see the Nokia 8.1 in India as a new report from 91mobiles has hinted towards the launch of the Nokia 8.1 soon. To recall, the Nokia X7 had debuted in China with a mid-range price tag, dual rear camera setup and a powerful Snapdragon 710 processor.

Nokia 8.1 Launch on November 28 in India
According to the retails channels, the Nokia 8.1 will be launched on November 28, 2018. The price tag of the phone has also been supposedly revealed by the company, pegging the rate of this phone at Rs 23,999. Also, it’s notable that the company hasn’t sent out the media invites yet for the event, however, if this new update is to be believed then it must not be long before we get to see the press invite for the Nokia 8.1 launch.
Also, the recent Chinese release of the phone in October has revealed the specifications of the handset in its entirety, and there is hardly anything barred from the eye about the Nokia 8.1. We also do not expect HMD Global to make any tweaks to the phone for its release in India. As for the specifications, the Nokia 8.1 or better known as its Chinese name, the Nokia X7 fashions a 6.18-inch display rendering a Full HD+ resolution on an 18.7:9 aspect ratio screen. Also, given the form factor of the Nokia 8.1, the device averages 86.5% screen-to-body ratio. Under the hood, the device runs on Qualcomm Snapdragon 710 processor combined with 4GB/6GB of RAM along with 64GB or128GB of internal storage, depending on the variant. The Nokia 8.1 also allows for memory expansion up to 400GB with the help of a microSD card.
