Nokia 8.1 inching closer to launch, NCC report from Taiwan says so

The Nokia 8.1 was first spotted on Geekbench a few weeks ago giving out some of the specs, including the Snapdragon 710 chipset. The new NCC filing from Taiwan might suggest we are looking at imminent launch.

The report lists a Nokia device with model number TA-1119 but as always, doesn’t disclose anything specific about the device itself. That’s TENAA specialty.

Anyway, rumor has it the device will sport a notch, a rear-mounted fingerprint reader and will run Android 9.0 Pie out of the box. Still, the Nokia 8.1 remains pretty secretive so we have to wait a little bit longer for more details to pile up.

Notably, Android P Beta is currently available for the Nokia 7 Plus.
