Apart from the Nokia 8 Sirocco, which was introduced this year with the previous-generation Snapdragon 835 and an outrageous price tag, HMD has not really been focusing on releasing high-end devices around the globe, and this strategy has worked out extremely well in its favor. The last most powerful smartphone to be released by the company was the Nokia 7 Plus, which is fueled by the Snapdragon 660. Now, HMD Global will be looking to launch a device bearing a Snapdragon 710, along with a flagship featuring a Snapdragon 845, thereby letting its competitors know that it is gunning for their spot.

Earlier, HMD was reportedly planning to announce a smartphone with a high-end SoC that would compete against the other flagship devices. Additionally, the company was expected to be preparing a device that will be able to compete with an upcoming cheaper Pixel smartphone, which is also said to feature the same Snapdragon 710. This 10nm FinFET SoC is designed to provide flagship features to devices while providing them to customers at cheaper price tags for a better price/performance ratio.
