However, if you are like us, your initial excitement about the Nokia Phoenix will quickly deflate. The specs just do not match up. One would expect an 8.1 to be an improvement on last year’s Nokia 8. If you were expecting that, we have bad news for you. This is such a downgrade to the 8 that you wouldn’t want to touch it. Instead of flagship specs, what we have here are upper mid-range specs. Have a look at the key specs below.

The Nokia 8 was a flagship-grade phone. Nokia 8.1 is not. What manner of naming is that? What was HMD Global thinking? It looks like the madness that plagued Nokia’s naming schemes in years gone by has also been inherited by HMD. Hardware-wise, the 8.1 is a twin of the Nokia X7. The difference is that the X7 is limited to China while the Nokia Phoenix will be available internationally. Otherwise, they are one and the same.
Nokia 8.1 Release Date
December 5 is the expected release date of this phone. It is expected to be available globally, as against its China-bound twin, the X7. The Nokia 8.1 release date is close enough, so you don’t have long to wait. If it is oriced right, perhaps the downgraded specs can be forgiven.
