And sport a design similar to the Lumia 620.
Like all other Nokia-branded smartphones from HMD Global, the Nokia 2 is also expected to run Android 7.0 Nougat. The smartphone should use on-screen Android buttons as opposed to capacitive navigation buttons found on existing smartphones from the company. There is no word on pre-order or availability just yet, but the phone could go on sale as early as next month.
