Nokia laptop spotted on BIS website, likely to be launched soon

The coronavirus pandemic and consequential Work From Home practice has led to a revival for the laptop industry. While some have made a comeback, others have introduced new line ups, targeting Work From Home professionals. The latest to join the list could be veteran smartphone maker Nokia. Although there are no official details, some certifications have appeared on the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) website that hint at the arrival of Nokia laptops.  

The new offerings may make their way to the country first as the certifications are from the Indian standards body. This is not the first time that Nokia is trying to flirt with the laptop segment. Earlier, it tried its luck in the laptop market globally with the launch of the Nokia Booklet 3G back in August 2009.  

The latest move, however, seems to be coming from a Nokia brand licensee and not from the Finnish company itself. There are at least nine different model numbers that have received certification from the body, as per the details shared by Sharma. These are namely, NKi510UL82S, NKi510UL85S, NKi510UL165S, NKi510UL810S, NKi510UL1610S, NKi310UL41S, NKi310UL42S, NKi310UL82S, and NKi310UL85S. 

As speculated by NokiaMob.net, the first two characters in the surfaced model numbers that are “NK” might just be suggesting the Nokia branding, while the following characters could be describing processor details. The model numbers might have also suggested the presence of Windows 10. 

Meanwhile, the company had recently launched its new smartphone – Nokia 2.4 in the country. The new smartphone aims to deliver a big screen experience on a tight budget. It comes with a 6.5-inch HD+ screen and a 4500 mAh battery which is optimised to last for two days. Plus, the Nokia 2.4 comes with our Android promise, giving you three years of monthly security updates and two years of OS updates, meaning it’s ready for Android 11 and 12.
