Last month, Nokia managed to oust a new phone they are working on called Nokia T7-00. The phone was supposedly going to run Symbian^3 and had a resolution like the Nokia N8.
Today a Chinese website (via GSM Arena) managed to get their hands on some Nokia T7-00 pictures and specifications. Sadly, the phone is short of my expectations and looks like a stripped down version of the Nokia N8.
Nokia T7 will most like have a 8 Megapixel camera with a display size of 360 x 640 pixels. The phone will support Bluetooth, WLAN, GSM, WCDMA and HSPDA among other networks. The T7 will also have a 700Mhz ARM11 processor which will also support 3D graphics through and OpenGL 2.0. Nokia T7 will also have a HDMI out for videos.
The Nokia T7 might also be rebranded as a NSeries phone instead of TSeries as the pictures suggest. However, if this news is correct then I will be sorely disappointed because I was expecting a lot more from this device.
Also, I don’t understand why Nokia is still stuck with processors under 1Ghz since more of the smartphones that come out today sport that as a minimum. Looking at the pictures though suggests that the phone is not going to be sold as an high-end device, but why create a competitor for the Nokia C7/Nokia Astound? Wasn’t it similar to the Nokia N8 already that you are introducing a similar phone with a different name?
I am not sure who makes decisions at Nokia, but this truly baffles me. Check out some more pictures of the Nokia T7 below.
