'Nokia 8.1 Plus': Upgrades you may expect from Nokia 8 'successor'

As the Mobile World Congress draws near, rumours of a new flagship Nokia phone, titled the Nokia 9 PureView have surfaced all over the Internet. However, India may see a successor to the Nokia 8 by the end of February. The rumoured Nokia 8.1 Plus will target consumers in the higher-mid range space.

The Nokia 8.1 is an excellent, feature-rich mid-range smartphone that performs surprisingly well but still could improve in some areas. Here are things one would expect from the rumoured Nokia 8.1 Plus –

Display
The 8.1 featured a 6.18-inch LCD panel with a Full HD+ resolution and a very ugly notch. Considering the current trend of notch-less phones, you could expect to see a punch-hole display on the new 8.1 Plus smartphone, along with an AMOLED screen.

Camera
While the camera on the 8.1 is pretty decent for a higher mid-tier phone, it could use few improvements. There are several rumours about the Nokia 9 PureView phone’s Penta-camera setup, so expecting a triple camera set up on the 8.1 Plus. Whether it’s software or hardware, all improvements to the 8.1 rear camera would be welcomed.
