A little over a week ago, Juho Sarvikas announced on Twitter that he was leaving Nokia and HMD after 15 years. Under his leadership as Chief Product Officer, HMD Global announced several Nokia-branded Android smartphones and feature phones. It also released modern versions of classic Nokia phones such as the Nokia 3310, Nokia 8110 4G, and Nokia 5310.

Following the return of the Nokia Mobile brand via HMD Global Oy, Juho Sarvikas has been the face of the brand. The Chief Product Officer of the Finnish company and VP of the North American division announced yesterday that he is leaving the company.

The top executive made the announcement on Twitter yesterday, revealing that his 15-year run at Nokia and HMD has come to an end. The announcement came as a surprise and has led to speculations about the future of Nokia Mobile. The timing also seems off considering HMD Global has a launch event scheduled for April 8 which is less than two weeks from now.

After amazing 15 years with Nokia and HMD, I have made the tough decision that is time to move on. I'm so proud of what we have achieved together and know that the success of HMD & Nokia phones will continue. Follow @nokiamobile for Nokia Phones news.

Mr. Sarvikas is yet to announce his next appointment as his Twitter bio and LinkedIn page still state his current positions at HMD Global. Nevertheless, we wish him the best in his future endeavors.

Nokia Mobile is not the only manufacturer that has had a top executive leave this week. Xiaomi’s Chief Financial Officer, Shou Zi, announced a few days ago that he is leaving the Chinese giant to take on the same role at ByteDance in his home country of Singapore

HMD owned Nokia went official with Nokia 9 Pureview couple of weeks back. It followed with the announcement of other Nokia smartphones such as Nokia 210, Nokia 1 Plus, Nokia 3.2 and Nokia 4.2. Among all these, Nokia 9 Pureview is the only high-end device featuring the first ever rear Penta camera module. It’s available across various countries for over a week now and even few issues have sprawled up. To ensure a great experience while using Nokia 9 Pureview, HMD has announced that an update is in works for two major bugs.

While talking about the new update, Juho Sarvikas, Chief Product Officer at HMD Global, acknowledged the unreliable in-display fingerprint sensor issue. He emphasized that the company will try to improve the experience by mending the bugs. Since launch, many users also complained about the camera app crashes on low battery. The cause behind sudden app crashes is either related to low voltage or switching of the device’s profile.

“With more users out there, we’ve seen a few camera crashes due to battery voltage drop when charge is low. We will address this,” wrote Sarvikas.

Nokia has not confirmed any other detail about the software update. However, going with the company’s track records, we need not wait for long.

Additionally, Nokia 9 Pureview is currently available in the US and some European countries. Its launch in India and China is still pending.

As far as the specifications are concerned, Nokia 9 Pureview comes with a 5.99 inch Quad HD POLED display and Corning Gorilla Glass 5 protection. Its display carries 18.5:9 aspect ratio and an in-screen fingerprint sensor. The company has packed a Penta-camera module on the smartphone which houses a five 12 megapixel sensors – three monochrome sensors and two are RGBs. All sensors concurrently shoot images and later compile together for a better final output. A 20-megapixel selfie shooter is present on the front side.

It is now retailing across various countries at a price of $699.
