HMD Global, the company that now owns the rights to manufacture devices under the Nokia brand, have recently shared some details about the upcoming flagship smartphone. Shared through the company's official Weibo account, it would appear that the rumored Nokia P1 smartphone will come packing with a high-end chipset Snapdragon 835 from Qualcomm.
HMD added that the development stage might take some time and that the smartphone will be available later this year.
