Nokia D1C may be priced at a mere Rs 10,000

Nokia’s D1C is supposed to be the new upcoming smartphone from the former market leader, which will be launched at the Mobile World Congress 2017.
The world is waiting for Nokia’s comeback with a brand new Android smartphone that is likely to be introduced in February at the CES 2017 technology expo in Las Vegas. According to the rumour mill, the company will offer two variants of their upcoming smartphone -- Nokia D1C -- and will likely have a starting price of around Rs 10,000.
A report by NokiaPowerUser stated that the Nokia D1C will come in two variants with different display, RAM and camera specifications: while one variant will feature a 5-inch display, 2GB of RAM and 13MP rear camera, the second variant will pack a 5.5-inch display, 3GB of RAM and 16MP rear camera.
The rest of the specifications will be shared between both the phones -- a 1.4GHz Snapdragon 430 processor with Adreno 505 GPU. Running Android 7.0 Nougat, both variants will most likely include 16GB of internal storage along with an 8MP front facing camera.
Nokia has licensed its brand to HMD Global, which will launch its first Nokia smartphone products early next year. The Finnish company said HMD had received the green light to proceed with production after completing all necessary transactions with its Taiwanese manufacturing partner, FIH Mobile of FoxConn Technology Group, and with US tech giant Microsoft which had bought the unprofitable phone business from Nokia in 2014.

Smartphones of the future: flexible designs and new uses

The Lenovo CPlus is a prototype smartphone that can roll up and be worn around your wrist. With Gartner predicting worldwide annual sales of more than 1.5 billion units, here a few ways that smartphone devices could evolve in the coming years. When Steve Jobs unveiled the first iPhone in 2007 (also known as the "iPhone 2G"), it broke all the codes of the mobile phone market at the time. The device caused a sensation with its 3.5-inch touch screen, which could be used without a stylus thanks to multi-touch technology.
