Verizon Will Sell New Nokia Phone As A Prepaid Device

It was reported last week that Nokia phones could be returning to Verizon. The brand has been licensed by a Finnish company called HMD Global which makes Nokia smartphones now. It has been a few years since Verizon offered a Nokia smartphone. The last devices on its roster were from the Windows Phone-powered Lumia era. A new Nokia device is expected to be offered by Verizon soon and it will reportedly be sold as a prepaid device.

This, according to @evleaks, who first brought us word of a new Nokia device heading to Verizon. He has followed up with an additional tweet to reveal that this device will be sold prepaid as the Nokia 2V.

It would make sense for the Nokia 2V to be sold as a prepaid device because it will be priced at just above $100 most likely. It’s an entry-level device and they’re often sold prepaid only. The Nokia 2V is expected to be similar to the Nokia 2.1 inside and out.

This means that it’s going to have a 5.5 inch LCD display with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 425 processor, 1GB RAM, and a 4,000mAh battery. It will run Android 8.1 Oreo Go Edition. There will be an 8 megapixel rear and 5 megapixel front camera.

Verizon and HMD Global have yet to confirm the arrival of this device on the country’s largest carrier.
