Nokia 8.1 Plus with punch-hole display is here: Comes with a dual camera setup

Most of the upcoming smartphones are expected to follow the punch-hole display design, which became mainstream in India after launching the Samsung Galaxy S10 series of smartphones. In fact, the Honor View20 is the first smartphone to launch in India, which is also the most affordable smartphone in India with a punch-hole display.
