HMD Global has been launching Nokia-brand smartphone since past few years and now the Finnish company is all set to launch its first true high-end flagship smartphone — Nokia 9 PureView.
The company will be attending the Mobile World Congress (MWC 2019) which is scheduled to kick-off from 25th February. However, like many other companies, HMD Global has also decided to launch its devices a day earlier, i.e. on 24th February.
The launch event will start at 16:00 local time in Barcelona. However, the company has also confirmed that it will be live streaming the event on YouTube as well as Facebook. However, #GetSmart tagline and an 8-second teaser video posted on Twitter doesn’t reveal much information.
The Nokia 9 PureView has appeared as “Nokia 9” on Geekbench and confirms that it will be powered by the previous-generation Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 chipset and 6GB of RAM. However, in the software department, it will have the latest Android 9 Pie OS pre-installed.
The 6GB RAM variant of the phone may come equipped with 128GB internal storage. The base model of the phone is expected to feature 4GB RAM along with either 64GB or 128GB internal storage. The 10nm Snapdragon 845 SoC is not as efficient as the new 7nm Snapdragon 855, but the highlighting of the phone remains the ZEISS optics enabled penta-camera setup.
Rumors suggest that the Nokia 9 PureView can shoot up to 64-megapixel resolution photos since it features a two 12-megapixel camera sensors, two 16-megapixel sensors and an 8-megapixel sensor. It is expected to come with a 5.9-inch display with a fingerprint sensor embedded inside the screen.

The device will be powered by a 4,150mAh battery that will be equipped with support for 18W fast charging technology. Rumors have it that this could be the first Nokia phone to come with support for wireless charging. We’ll have to wait until the official launch event to know for sure what the company has decided to offer in its first true high-end smartphone.
