The Nokia smartphone brand is expected to return to the market next year under the management of Finnish company HMD Global. The latter acquired the rights to use the Nokia name and plans to launch flagship and mid-range models in 2017 with the Android-powered Nokia P1.

It is reported that Nokia P1 will boast of powerful specs such as a Snapdragon 385 chipset and 6GB RAM as well as a 23MP Zeiss lens on the back of the phone. According to Forbes magazine, the upcoming product will be unveiled in the first half of 2017.

However, HMD will be present at the annual Mobile World Congress in Barcelona in February. The trade show is used by tech companies as a venue for new product releases and announcements. Forbes surmise that details of the Nokia P1 might be announced in the Spanish city.

Two leaked images show a mid-range Android powered Nokia model. But no confirmation links these images to the actual Nokia P1 handset. Frantic Nokia fans need to wait until February to have a first glimpse of the much-awaited smartphone.

HDM aims to regain Nokia's position as smartphone king. The Nokia P1 handsets signal the brand's return to the smartphone business after several unsuccessful attempts to recapture market leadership, which is now occupied by Apple and Samsung handsets.

Phone Arena reported that Nokia P1 will be powered by the Adreno 540 graphics processing unit. It is reported that the smartphone will offer download speeds of up to 1Gbps. Based on the leaked images, Nokia P might sport a metal body with an anodized finish.

If previous speculations are to be believed, the Nokia P1 will have a QHD display with a resolution of 2560 b 1440 pixels. The smartphone might also be available in 5.2 and 5.5-inch displays. Another feature that might excite Nokia lovers is the IP68 certification for water and dust resistance, which was also previously speculated.
