Nokia did hint earlier today that it has some surprises line out for its product launch event scheduled to hold in London on March 19. We are not too sure but the Nokia 9.2 PureView may be one of the surprises. Even if it isn’t, Nokia is expected to unveil a next-generation model of the Nokia 9 PureView that was launched last year packing a spectacular Penta-camera design.

Popular concept creator Ben Geskin has dished out a cool concept design said to be that of the Nokia 9.2 PureView, a successor to the Nokia 9 PureView. The design is basically a product of Geskin’s imagination and isn’t based on leaks or anything of that sort. However, the design draws inspiration from the Nokia 9 PureView.

The moniker falls in line with rumours that Nokia will skip calling the next model Nokia 9.1 PureView for some unknown reasons. Such rumors have been popping up online for quite some time now. The Nokia 9 PureView was announced back in February last year, but its successor still has not arrived.

Talking of the design, the concept envisions a device with a full-screen design with perfect symmetry. That means there will be no notch and there is no sign of a hole-punch either. The 9.2 PureView is envisioned to feature an under-display selfie shooter, something that is yet to find its way into any smartphone. A Xiaomi exec recently said that under-display cameras are not yet ready for primetime. On the bright side, Vivo utilised the under-display camera design on the APEX 2020 Concept phone that was unveiled last week. So, the display design may go commercial this year. We’ll see what happens.

All the physical keys are located on the right-hand side of this concept smartphone. The backside of the device reminds us of the Nokia 9 PureView but there are only four camera sensors housed in a round module. The camera module protrudes on the back, and below it, you’ll notice an LED flash. Nokia’s logo is also placed on the back and the panel also has curved edges.

The concept creator didn’t reveal any details of the specs but the Nokia 9.2 PureView should pack a Snapdragon 865 processor. The phone will also include a large RAM and ZEISS optics as well as Android 10 OS.

A report that had surfaced few months ago had revealed that the HMD Global is working on the successor for Nokia 9 PureView smartphone. The report had revealed that the Finnish firm may launch the Nokia 9.1 PureView smartphone by the end of this year. However, industry insider Nokia anew has claimed that the Nokia 9.1 PureView will not be made official until the second quarter of 2020.

HMD Global is known for announcing new phones at Mobile World Congress (MWC) tech exhibition that is held in the first quarter of each year. However, on the basis of the fresh information it can be said that the Nokia 9.1 PureView may not get announced at the MWC 2020 event. The reason behind the delay of the smartphone’s arrival is not known yet.

The Nokia 9 PureView that was made official in MWC 2019 earlier this year featured Snapdragon 845 chipset. While the SD845 is a good chipset, it was disappointment to see HMD Global use an outdated SoC for it instead of the Snapdragon 855 that powered most flagship phones this year. The Nokia 9.1 PureView may arrive with Snapdragon 855 chipset when most flagship phones in the coming year will be equipped with Snapdragon 865.

The leaked details that had appeared in July had claimed HMD Global will continue to work with Light’s camera technology for the Nokia 9.1 PureView. The smartphone is expected to deliver better low-light performance and better videography capabilities. The smartphone may feature a punch-hole display and is expected to run on Android One edition of Android 10. Also, the Nokia 9.1 PureView is expected to arrive with support for 5G connectivity.

Speaking of 5G, HMD Global is rumored to be working on the Nokia 8.2 5G phone. Rumors have it that it will be equipped with the upcoming 7nm Snapdragon 735 mobile platform and up to 8 GB of RAM. The handset is expected to come in variants such as 4 GB RAM + 64 GB storage, 6 Gb RAM + 128 GB storage and 8 GB RAM + 256 GB storage. The Nokia 8.2 5G is expected to offer a high screen space and it could be equipped with a pop-up selfie snapper. The rear side of the phone may sport a circular camera module with a 64-megapixel primary lens. The smartphone may get showcased at MWC 2020.

The Nokia 9 PureView is still the most powerful Nokia phone but definitely not the most powerful phone you can buy now. It recently launched in India, nearly half a year since it was first announced. A report says a successor is coming soon and it is reported to arrive as the Nokia 9.1 Pureview.

According to NokiaPowerUser, the Nokia 9.1 PureView was originally scheduled for a Q3 launch but it has now been pushed forward to Q4 based on info from a source.

The postponement is said to be as a result of some unresolved issues with certain aspects of the phone such as its camera. We hope the delay is worth it, so as to avoid a repeat of the negative reviews the Nokia 9 PureView suffered.

With respect to features and specs, HMD Global will continue its partnership with Light. The camera performance should get a significant improvement especially in low-light and video recording. It is also said to be faster thanks to a better processor and better software algorithms developed with help from Light.

The Nokia 9.1 PureView is also said to feature a punch-hole display like that of the Nokia X71 and there are reports of prototypes with this design. Under the hood of the phone will be a Snapdragon 855 processor. It will also run Android Q out of the box and of course have 5G support. We are not sure if there will be an LTE-only version.
