Nokia Comes Back With a New Unit Known as D1C; A Tablet or A Smartphone?

Expectations are high the once-dominant mobile phone company Nokia comes back with a unit known as D1C. When the hype died down about the new smartphone, analysts are now speculating that a new tablet and not a phone will be coming out of the company's production line.

Last February, reports surfaced that Nokia is about to launch a new line of smartphones. Currently, however, there are still no official statement from the company. Unfortunately, new images of the so-called unit D1C have been leaked. The previous report of the Nokia D1C being a tablet was proven to be wrong. It's clear in the set of leaked pictures that Nokia is definitely working on a new smartphone.

The spanking new D1C smartphone leaked image renders has now proven the theory on the future designs of the new Nokia smartphone. There are black, gold, and white color variants for the Nokia D1C and the gold color option will have a fingerprint scanner under the Home Button.

The new Nokia D1C smartphone model has rounded metal edges and capacitive buttons are present at the front and volume/power buttons are placed on the edge. The Nokia D1C also appears to sport a glass back casing with a 3.5mm audio jack on top. A microphone and USB port are installed at the bottom edge but the other exterior features of the upcoming unit still need some further investigation.

The corresponding leaked specs also show that the Nokia D1C will run on the Snapdragon 430 chipset with an octa-core CPU and Adreno 505 GPU. An internal storage of 32GB will also be added along with 3GB of RAM and the display would have a 1080 x 1920 resolution. A 13MP camera will be at the back of the unit, while an 8MP camera will be installed in the front.

Many are speculating that the new D1C smartphone model from Nokia will not be the flagship phone of the company. Nokia fans are still hoping for a more advanced model to be shown in the near future.
