After launching a series of Nokia phones like Nokia 8 Sirocco, Nokia 7 Plus, Nokia 6 (2018) and Android Go edition Nokia 1, looks like HMD Global has already started working on its next device. Going by a report, the next phone by HMD Global will be the Nokia X or Nokia 10 which will come with a budget price tag. The smartphone has already received 3C certification in China, which hints at the imminent launch of the phone. HMD Global may launch the Nokia X on April 27, reveals a report coming from Nokiamob.net.

According to the report, a Nokia phone with model number TA-1099 passed 3C certification site in China. This device is expected to be Nokia X. As of now, not a lot is known about the Nokia X, apart from the fact that it won’t be a flagship device. Nokia 9 is expected to be the next flagship by HMD Global.

The 3C certification listing reveals some specification details about the Nokia X. The listing reveals that the upcoming Nokia X will come with a regular 10W charger, this means that the phone will feature a standard charger output of 5V/2A. This means that the new Nokia X will not come with fast charging ability as teased previously. The Nokia X with a 5V/2A charger means that the phone will be no new device instead will just be a spiritual successor of the original X model which was launched in 2014.

Details of the Nokia X are scarce at the moment. In the past, the Nokia X was spotted with two model numbers TA-1099 and TA-1109. This hints that HMD Global may launch the Nokia X or Nokia 10 in two variants. The 3C certification doesn’t reveal any further information about the Nokia X apart from details related to TD-LTE and the charger.
