Some companies completely stopped trying to keep their unreleased phones or wearables a secret, and started leaking on purpose a lot of details and images of upcoming phones. That kind of approach helped them create a fuss and raise needed views and clicks that will attract crowds.
Nokia mobile seems to be changing marketing strategy a bit since they started leaking intentionally a lot of details about their upcoming product, or products. We are familiar already with the exact announcement day, which is scheduled for July 27th, and then all the details about the new Nokia phones will be known.
The most leaked device seems to be Nokia XR20 which should be a tougher form of currently available X20. Nokia Mobile itself leaked the photo of the device emerged in the water which means that XR20 should be the second waterproof Nokia smartphone since Nokia 8 Sirocco. Hope that this device will be bringing more interesting specs than just ability to be submerged in the water.
Another thing that will be changing is the way the announcement will be conducted. We just received a press release that reveals a different way to present a phone. Actually, we saw something similar with the announcement of the first C, G and X series where some use cases for the phones were presented.
It seems that a similar way to present clear advantages of the phone will be used for the announcement of most probably Nokia XR20. Well, you can check the press release below for more info, but according to the released press photos, Nokia Mobile will be creating a funny announcement. The presentation is based on football, but the seem to be slightly late since EURO2020 just ended. Anyway, local football seasons are starting soon, and the world is always crazy about the football, so the engagement of some football free-styling champions and legendary football stars could be welcomed.
Nokia Mobile is keeping the name of the star hidden, but by just looking the calf of the persons leg, I could guess he is the author of the best free kick goal ever.
Check out the full Press release.
