HMD Global Oy controlled Nokia was tipped to launch the Nokia 2, Nokia 7 and Nokia 9 at MWC 2018 but the Nokia 2 and Nokia 7 are already official. The Nokia 9 which is expected as another flagship model is still shrouded in mystery. However, the expected flagship model is in the news now. That is because a protective case said to be for the Nokia 9 was spotted on Amazon UK where it was listed for sale.

The case was manufactured by case-maker HualuBro and is sold by more than one seller on Amazon.It would have been treated like just another protective casing if not that the listing also revealed the purported render of the flagship 9. The listing is accompanied by some 3D renders of the Nokia 9 revealing the design to a large extent both the front as well as the back.

The renders confirm some details contained in previous leaks like the presence of an edge-to-edge display and a dual camera setup. The display wraps around the long edges of the case while the dual camera is aligned in the vertical direction with the LED flash at the right side. The device also features a rear-mounted fingerprint sensor as captured in the renders.

The Amazon listing for the Nokia 9’s HualuBro-manufactured protective case could be an indication that Nokia will launch the flagship soon. However, we may have to wait till next year to see the flagship launched. The case is available in Carbon Fiber Black, Blue, and Red, as well as Litchi Black, Blue, and Red. Each of the protective case sells for a discounted price of £3.88 (around $5.20). This brings the price down from the original price tag of £26.88 ($36).This bold listing could be a confirmation of the Nokia 9’s design or else how do we explain selling a protective case when we are yet to even confirm the design?

After launching Nokia 3, 5, 6 and the most recent Nokia 8, HMD Global, the Finnish company is gearing up to launch a new flagship smartphone — Nokia 9. While the phone is not making its way to the market until next year, we now know how it will look.

Nokia is expected to launch three new smartphones early next year, including Nokia 2, 7 and 9. After the images Nokia 2 made its way to the internet, now is the turn for Nokia 9.

Well-known leaker @OnLeaks has rendered HMD Global‘s upcoming flagship based on CAD files, which gives us a look at the phone and what to expect from it.

From the renders, it appears that the company has jumped the narrow bezels bandwagon for the Nokia 9. The smartphone is expected to come with a 5.5-inch AMOLED Quad HD display. Based on the render, it looks like it will come with a curved screen.

It is likely to be powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 835 processor, along with 4GB of RAM. As per the speculations, it will have two storage options to choose from — 64GB and 128GB.

The smartphone will probably run on the latest Android 8 Oreo operating system. The device is said to measure 140.9 x 72.9 x 7.5 mm, but the camera bump will increase the thickness to 8.9 mm.

The renders show vertically stacked dual-lens camera setup at the back, just above the fingerprint sensor. While the details about the camera sensor are not known, it is speculated to be of 12-megapixel or 13-megapixel.

At the bottom, there is a USB Type-C port along with speaker grille and a microphone. The USB Type-C is the only port on the phone. The company is following the trend of removing the 3.5mm audio jack.

The phone is speculated to have an aluminium frame. It is said to come with an IP68 rating and wireless charging support. Although the device looks beautiful based on the render, there’s always a chance that things could change before it goes to production.

At a time talks of a Nokia 9 in the works are getting heated, a new concept design for the Nokia 9 designed by PhoneDesigner has appeared online. The render isn’t likely going to be the final one for the expected device but you never can tell anyway.

The major highlights of the design include the bezel-less design it features up front. The display curves at the two sides, eliminating the side bezels. Also, the device seems to feature a high screen-to-body ratio. There is also no physical home button at the front but the device uses onscreen buttons.

Another interesting feature on the render is the dual-lens camera at the rear. The dual cameras are aligned in a vertical plane and the LED flash is located under the second camera, still in the same plane. This just looks so real with the Nokia logo engraved under the camera setup. Unfortunately, it isn’t real.

Still talking about the design, this Nokia 9 concept render is said to be 6.2mm thick meaning it is a thin device. It also has a 2:1 aspect ratio on a 5.5-inch display. There are equally two front speakers on the device. The Nokia 9 is rumoured as coming in the third quarter of this year and is expected to sport a Snapdragon 835 processor, among other features.
