Images of two Nokia models, said to be Nokia D1 and E1, which leaked online, had a lot of people excited. The company's comeback is going to happen next year yet, and but these sketched images have already been making rounds on the internet that got fans talking.

According to Gizbot, Nokia's smartphone launch will happen in February. Based on the sketches released by a Chinese tech website, the Nokia D1 is a bit curvier compared to E1. Also, D1 seems to come with a home button, while E1 would possibly have touch-sensitive keys at the front.

Softpedia reported that although the two phones look similar, the front LED flash is positioned differently between the two models, and it's a possibility that size and weight would be different, too.

Another difference would be that E1 is said to have a bigger 5.5-inch display and a 2 GB RAM. The sketched image for D1 hints that this model would have a 5 inch full HD display, 13-megapixel camera, Snapdragon 430 chipset and 3GB RAM. It is also likely that D1 would have a fingerprint scanner underneath.

Out of the box, all of Nokia's upcoming smartphones would be running on Android Nougat with a simple stock interface. Both images have the Nokia branding on the top right corner with the front camera, speaker grille, and sensors.

Some reports say that Nokia will actually release five phones next year. HMD Global, the developer of the Nokia brand is expected to make a big comeback, and some say that five models in a year are a likely target.

Meanwhile, 2017 is going to be a big year for smartphone fans. Much-awaited phones like the iPhone 8 and Samsung Galaxy S8 and S8 Edge will be released. The talked-about Microsoft Surface Phone will also be launched next year, just like LG's G6, the HTC 11 and Lenovo Moto Z.
