Alleged Nokia 8.1 plus renders show company joining the punch-hole bandwagon

Ever since HMD global took over the Nokia brand, the company has been consistently releasing gorgeous phones with the vanilla Android One. Courtesy of 91 mobiles  we now have a first look for a phone supposedly the Nokia 8.1 plus, and seems like the company is following in the footsteps of Huawei and Samsung, jumping in on the punch-hole display bandwagon.

The renders released closely resemble last year's Nokia 8.1 and the major difference appears on the front and the camera department.

As mentioned above the renders show the phone will be sporting a display cutout for the selfie camera along with a bit of chin below the screen. Looks like the Nokia 8.1 will be the last notched phone from Nokia.


According to 91mobiles the device should come with a 6.2-inches FHD+ display and surprise not surprise a 3.5 mm headphone jack! If the phone indeed comes with a headphone jack kudos to Nokia! The headphone jack is to be positioned at the top with a USB-C charging port at the bottom.

Like most Nokia phones the Nokia 8.1 plus will come with a glossy glass back with the fingerprint sensor and dual cameras on top. The specs of the camera seems to be a mystery as of now.

As for the internal specs we don't know anything and 91mobiles too don't seem to have any idea. The pricing and availability of the device is unknown too. But it is good to see Nokia embracing the market trends and slowly but steadily establishing itself in the market.
