Now we can confirm that Nokia 8.1 is indeed the Nokia Phoenix and the global variant of Nokia X7, that has been launched in China. Our sources have been kind enough to send official Nokia 8.1 images and marketing material to us confirming that HMD will use the code-name Phoenix generously in the marketing material of Nokia 8.1.

So, have a look at the official images of Nokia 8.1 and the marketing material below. It seems that “expect more” is the punchline for Nokia 8.1 aka Phoenix, as can be seen in the market material.

Now, it is also clear that Nokia 8.1 will certainly be launched on December 5 in Dubai. It will be interesting to see whether it will be accompanied by Nokia 9 or not, though we have seen lots of covers/cases for it appearing with December release date.
