Nokia P1 specifications, features leaked ahead of launch at MWC 2017; will take on Samsung Galaxy S8

HMD Global has already confirmed its presence at MWC 2017 next month, and we can expect the unveiling of multiple Nokia-branded smartphones. While the Nokia 6 has already been announced, and the rumored Nokia 8 believed to be a premium device, there is one more smartphone that has been spotted online — the Nokia P1.

This may not be the first time we have come across the name Nokia P1, but a new report claims that it will be one of the smartphones unveiled at MWC in Barcelona. Previous rumors claimed that the upcoming smartphone could be simply a rebadged Sharp Aquos P1, but new information states otherwise. Russian website Worket claims that the Nokia P1 will also be a high-end device powered by Qualcomm’s latest Snapdragon 835 chipset paired with 6GB of RAM.

The leak also suggests that prices for the Nokia P1 is expected to start from $800 (Rs 54,300 approximately) for the 128GB model, and go up to $950 (Rs 64,500 approximately) for the 256GB variant. The price seems to be a bit too good to be true, and we would advise the usual dose of caution.
