October is proving to be a pretty big month for the Nokia smartphone brand. Last week, it announced the Nokia 7.1, and next week it’s expected to introduce the Nokia X7 (7.1 Plus) in China. But according to new information, it seems the company may have a third device up its sleeves.

Just over a week ago HMD Global confirmed that it would be holding an event in India tomorrow. Subsequent teasers have hinted at a new device with a “mega display,” something many assumed to be the Nokia 7.1 Plus. However, a new image obtained by Smartprix suggests that this is not the case. In actual fact, it seems HMD Global will be announcing the Nokia 3.1 Plus.

Unlike the company’s other Plus models, the Nokia 3.1 Plus doesn’t include a notch. Instead, Nokia has opted for a more traditional 18:9, 6-inch panel complete with reduced bezels above and below. Taking a peek at the rear, an aluminum build does appear to be present. This is adorned by a rear-facing fingerprint scanner and a new dual-camera setup which makes use of a main 13-megapixel camera and a secondary 5-megapixel depth sensor. While on the topic of photography, an 8-megapixel selfie sensor is also present.

Internally, an unspecified octa-core MediaTek processor is included. Unfortunately, neither the RAM count nor the internal storage are detailed either. Regardless of this, a respectable 3,500mAh battery is included, as is stock Android 8.1 Oreo as part of the Android One program. Buyers should, however, expect an update to Android 9 Pie in the near future.
