Nokia launches hole-punch display-toting X71

Nokia is taking on the hole-punch display trend with its newest Android One phone. The brand’s licensee HMD Global just launched in Taiwan the X71. Aside from the new 6.39-inch display, the X71 is a camera-centric phone with a Zeiss-branded triple-camera system. It has a 48-megapixel main sensor, 8-megapixel wide sensor, and 5-megapixel depth sensor. The hole-punch houses a 16-megapixel selfie shooter. It runs on a Snapdragon 660 processor, 6GB of RAM, 128GB of expandable storage, and a 3,500mAh battery.

It’s priced at around US$385 (around CA$510) and pits it against the $490 Huawei Nova 4 and $203 Redmi Note 7 Pro, which both carry the same Sony 48-megapixel sensor. It’s rumoured to be getting a global release under the name Nokia 8.1 Plus.
