Nokia 8.2: now tipped to be the OEM's first pop-up camera phone

Nokia may jump on the ever-increasing momentum of the pop-up selfie-cam bandwagon soon. The well-regarded tipster Ishan Agarwal has asserted that an upcoming device, the 8.2, will feature such a module, which will house a 32MP sensor.

This putative phone would be a sucessor to the Nokia 8.1. Should the new rumor prove true, the OEM may improve on this existing phone in terms of screen real estate. Agarwal has also hinted at a SKU with 8GB of RAM and 256GB in fixed storage. It is also now slated to run the next major Android upgrade (Q) at launch.

Despite these decent potential specs, it also appears that the Nokia 8.2 is destined for mid-ranger territory. MySmartPrice has also indicated that its SoC may not get better than a Snapdragon 735. This processor, while possibly capable of 5G and AI support, may also get only 1 core that goes at 2.4GHz. On the other hand, this remains the stuff of rumor at present, especially considering Agarwal has not confirmed his sources for this new Nokia-related leak.
