Nokia 5.1 Plus, expected to be the global variant of the Nokia X5, has been spotted in five variants on a Bluetooth certification website confirming rumours that it will be launched in numerous countries outside of China soon. To recall, the Nokia X5 was launched in China in July this year months after the Nokia X6 came to the Chinese market. However, the Nokia X6's global variant - Nokia 6.1 Plus - has already been announced, while the Nokia 5.1 Plus is yet to become a reality.

These include TA-1108, TA-1105, TA-1120, TA-1112, and TA-1102. Much like the Nokia 6.1 Plus, and all other Nokia smartphones released globally this year, the Nokia 5.1 Plus is expected to be a part of Google's Android One programme.
