Nokia, best known for their iconic indestructible phones and the Snake minigame, has also steadily been producing mid-range smartphones for a while now. Their new release is going big, however – as a 5G-supporting flagship that may sell for as low as £400, the Nokia 8.2 5G may well be the device that brings the new data network to the masses.
When is the Nokia 8.2 5G released?
Like the Moto Edge, the Nokia 8.2 5G is expected to be unveiled at the Mobile World Congress with press conferences beginning on 23rd February 2020 in Barcelona.
How much will the Nokia 8.2 5G cost?
The Nokia 8.2 5G is rumoured to have a very low price tag of around €459 and £390, which would make it one of the cheapest 5G handsets on the market.

Processor
Rumours suggest that the Nokia 8.2 5G will use the Snapdragon 765, which certainly makes sense given the price point.
5G capability
Yes – the Snapdragon chipset will have an integrated modem to support 5G capability, making the phone one of the cheapest 5G handsets out there.
Screen size
The screen is one area there is little information on – but we expect a similar size to the Nokia 8.1, so around 6.2 inches.
Connectivity
It is unknown if the Nokia 8.2 5G will support wireless charging, but rumours suggest it will make use of Qualcomm Quick Charge.
