Nokia's 2017 Android phones are leaking, showing what we can expect to come

Not one, but TWO of the forthcoming Nokia (HMD) Android handsets have leaked over the weekend; the Nokia E1, which is a lower-spec, entry level model, AND the Nokia 6; which features a metal body and gives us plenty of indications of what to expect from the new Nokia devices, but is, however, a mid-range Chinese exclusive.

So first up, let's take a look at the Nokia E1, a leak on Friday 6 January has revealed the specs for the device; a 1.4GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 425 quad-core processor with an Adreno 308 GPU runs the show, along with 2GB RAM and 16GB of onboard storage. The touch display is a 720p setup at either 5.2in or 5.3in, while the cameras are a 13MP primary and a 5MP secondary.

The Nokia 6, meanwhile, leaked on China's Weibo social network where one lucky tipster managed to get some hands-on time with the device, including photos. As mentioned, this phone, model number TA-1000, will only launch in China and is a mid-range model at $250, but features an aluminium metal body which perhaps gives us some indication of how the other devices in the series will look. We get a view of the device from a range of angles, and it's looking pretty slick it must be said. There are presently no specs or other details regarding this phone.
