The Nokia 8.1 can be the last Nokia phone to arrive with a notch!
In 2018, HMD Global was quick to jump on the notch trend with the launch of their new Nokia X series. Notably, the Finnish brand first released the Nokia X6, which then launched internationally as the Nokia 6.1 Plus. Following after, they continued to unveil the Nokia 5.1 Plus (Nokia X5 in China). This November, the brand added one more new member to this series under the name Nokia X7. Notably, the handset is going to arrive on the global market with the name Nokia 8.1.

Previously, this account has been accurately sharing details about the upcoming Nokia phones. Furthermore, they stated that the Nokia 6.2 (successor of the Nokia 6.1/Nokia 6 2018) should arrive with no notch on screen. Instead, the phone is going to feature an “interesting solution” as the account puts it.
Why are we talking only about Nokia 9? It's time to think about other models. Someone here was asking…
There will be #NoNotch in Nokia 6.2. Another interesting solution will be used. Thus, Nokia 8.1 can complete the "Notch parade" in the #Nokia line-up.#exclusive #nokia6— Nokia anew (@nokiamobileru) November 21, 2018
