New, 'charged up' Nokia phone teased for May 29

Will you be able to buy it?

When his parents denied him a Super NES, he got mad. When they traded a prize Sega Genesis for a 2400 baud modem, he got even. Years of Internet shareware, eBay'd possessions and video game testing jobs after that, he joined Engadget. He helped found The Verge, and later served as Gizmodo's reviews editor. When he's not madly testing laptops, apps, virtual reality experiences, and whatever new gadget will supposedly change the world, he likes to kick back with some games, a good Nerf blaster, and a bottle of Tejava.

The Nokia 8 Sirroco.

The Nokia 8 Sirocco didn't knock it out of the park. But maybe a new phone might? Nokia phone maker HMD Global is teasing an announcement for May 29:

All we have to go on is the hashtag "#ChargedUp," which suggests we might possibly expect a phone with a battery or charging improvement of some sort.

Mind you, it's not clear any new phones will necessarily be available for you to buy in your country of residence. The US only currently has the Nokia 6, for instance, which arrived this May as the Nokia 6.1. But with a new $100 million cash infusion in the Nokia phone business earlier this week, it's definitely more likely than before.
