HMD Global will launch a new variant of the mid-range Nokia 7 smartphone at the MWC 2018 event next month. And the smartphone will be named as Nokia 7 Plus with upgraded internals and maybe with an 18:9 display as well. The Nokia 7 Plus has now paid a visit to the popular benchmarking site, Geekbench which confirmed the key specifications of the upcoming device. The key upgrade is the processor as the Nokia 7 Plus is now spotted with Snapdragon 660 SoC.

As you can in the image, the model name clearly shows Nokia 7 Plus. So, it’s safe to assume that the listing is of the 7 Plus itself. Going into the details of the listing, the Nokia 7 Plus will be powered by the Snapdragon 660 chipset, a decent upgrade over the Nokia 7 which arrived with Snapdragon 630 SoC. Coupled to the chipset will be 4GB of RAM. However, there might be a 6GB of RAM variant as well, considering the fact that Nokia 7 arrived in a 6GB RAM variant too.
And the listing further says that the phone is running Android 8.0 Oreo at the time of benchmarking, so it’ safe to assume the Nokia 7 Plus will run Android Oreo out of the box when it launches. In the benchmark, the device scored a respectable 1636 single-core score and 5902 multi-core score.
Recently, the latest Nokia Beta camera APK teardown revealed the names of upcoming Nokia smartphones. The smartphones in question are Nokia 1, Nokia 7 Plus, Nokia 4, and the flagship Nokia 9. While the Nokia 1 and Nokia 9 are appearing on the web on a regular basis, we haven’t seen many details about the Nokia 4 and Nokia 7 Plus though.
