The teaser was posted on the official Nokia Mobile India Twitter handle. The teaser is in the form of a video which seems to imply the upcoming launch of the Nokia 8.1. The video isn’t exactly a long one, consisting of just nine seconds. Throughout the video, no smartphone exactly is shown apart from the silhouette of what could possibly the Nokia 8.1 and an image of red roses. The Nokia 8.1 is expected to launch alongside the Nokia 2.1 Plus and the much-awaited Nokia 9. The Nokia 8.1 has been leaked through a Geekbench score, revealing its key specifications. Apart from this, its pricing has been leaked and listings of its official cases have been spotted online.
