Nokia has already promised an "awesome" MWC 2018
press event, and one of the things it may announce next month in
Barcelona is a US release for one of its newest smartphones. Two models
of the same device, in single and dual-SIM iterations, have recently
been certified by the FCC - a necessary step before any such launch can
take place.
Right now it's unclear whether we're talking about the Nokia 7 unveiled in China last year or the newly outed Nokia 6 (2018).
All we have are the model numbers to go by: TA-1045 and TA-1016. We're
guessing it's either the Nokia 7 or the Nokia 6 (2018) because the
handset in question ships with a 3,000 mAh battery.
Whatever it is, it's obviously US-bound because HMD Global has
disabled all of the non-US frequencies and country code selections in
the phone, "through proprietary software", something that is "not user
changeable", according to one of the documents published by the FCC.
The handset is also likely headed to Canada, and the prototypes are
using the Avatar codename that was once thought to belong to the
upcoming Nokia 9
flagship. The smartphone will launch running Android 8.0 Oreo from day
one, which is a neat touch so many months after that version of Android
got its initial release from Google.
