Nokia 9 engineering machine leaks showing a fingerprint scanner at the rear

Some fifteen years ago, the Nokia brand was having an excellent run in the mobile phone market and the brand’s market dominance was thought to be insurmountable. However, the coming of Android OS and the subsequent migration to smartphones sounded the death knee for the Finnish phone maker.

Nokia made a resurgence under HMD Global Oy with several smartphones and a focus on software security. The brand has a large catalogue of smartphones under its name ranging from budget to mid-range and flagship models. The Nokia 9 PureView easily stands out as the most outstanding smartphone HMD Global has manufactured yet.

The flagship model released last year comes with a penta-camera setup with a Time-of-flight (TOF) sensor at the rear. The setup didn’t turn out to be a success and Nokia had to sever ties with Light the company that developed the camera technology, but what you apparently don’t know is that Nokia had initially toyed with the idea of a rear-mounted fingerprint scanner.

A netizen in China who was out searching for classic Nokia smartphones on Xianyu accidentally stumbled on the Nokia 9 engineering machine. In case you don’t know, Xianyu is a popular customer-to-customer buy-and-sell platform for secondhand goods in China, connected with the ever-popular Taobao. The device carries a price tag of 10,000 yuan (~1,512) but we can’t figure out why. For one, the device still bears a penta-camera setup as well as a sixth ToF sensor but in this case, there is a physical fingerprint scanner at the back.

Another cool aspect is that the frame of the engineering machine is inlaid with a gold border. Apart from these two features, the design and configurations are basically the same as the final Nokia 9 Pureview.

Nokia 9 PureView upholds Nokia’s brand image by passing JerryRigEverything’s durability test

Jed John Ikoba — Fri, 26 Jul 2019 10:04:30 +0000

Nokia 9 Pureview holds a record that no other smartphone has ever come close to surpassing since it was launched in February 2019. That is the penta-camera setup with a whopping five cameras at the rear and two cameras for selfies, making a total of seven cameras. The camera samples we’ve seen clearly show this setup isn’t a gimmick. But that isn’t the only spectacular thing about the Nokia flagship. Zack Nelson of JerryRigEverything fame has now subjected the Nokia 9 to his famous durability test and it passed!

Nokia’s towering reputation has its basis on the solid build the company’s mobile phones were known for even before the Android era. The Nokia 9 PureView indeed keeps to that reputation going by the durability test result.

EDITOR’S PICK: Honor’s Smart Screen will have a 55-inch Display with a Pop-Up Camera

The test begins with the scratch test using the Moh’s hardness scale. The scratch test doesn’t really reveal anything out of the ordinary. Since there is a Gorilla Glass protection over the screen, the device will scratch at similar levels on the Mohs hardness scale. The device was also subjected to the rather pointless flame test which turns the AMOLED pixels white after around thirty seconds, and they never fully recover.

The one that interests us the most is the bend test. The Nokia 9 PureView glass panel holds on solidly when pressure is applied on the back and front. The glass at the back slightly separates from the frame when the pressure is increased, perhaps due to weak adhesive but there is no irreversible damage to the phone. The screen still works fine.

Nokia is hosting a press event at MWC 2019 on February 24 to launch various new devices. As per the reports and leaks the HMD Global owned company is set to unveil Nokia 9, Nokia 1 Plus and a couple of other devices at the event. Except Nokia 9, all other devices will be of the entry-level and mid-level segment. Today, Nokia’s social media chief, Edoardo Cassina has shared a stunning photo taken by Finnish photographer on the Nokia 9.

The new images are showing the full potential of the Nokia 9 Penta camera module. It looks like Nokia has also tweaked its camera software along with robust hardware to take enriched yet beautiful photos. Nokia has followed leaders in the camera market such as Apple, Google, and Huawei in optimizing the camera software for excellent photography.

Nokia 9’s Penta-camera module has been rumored to carry some out of bounds features and stunning picture quality. Although, from the photo, it appears that those rumors are somewhat true. Despite the fact that Instagram compresses images, we can still guess some metrics such as clarity and composition of the whole photo taken by Nokia 9. Even, the darkness, color balance, and extra level depth across different images are justifying the beautiful scenes.

The photo seems to be stressfully testing the camera capabilities. As different exposures at different parts of the photo are challenging the phone’s camera. Irrespective of these difficulties, the cameras of the device have managed to capture the beautiful scene in a really good manner.

Well, it would be quite difficult to consider any device’s camera from a single photo. A single photo is unable to justify the device’s camera capabilities. Even though we are unaware of any editing that has taken place before publishing this photo. Still, we expect Nokia 9 to come with powerful cameras as rumored in the past.

Nokia 9 Specs

As per the details that have been leaked in some past time, Nokia 9 will be coming with a Penta-camera module along with PDAF, AF sensors, and an LED flash. In recent official press renders, we have got to know about Android Nokia 9 One edition. It will be powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 chipset as revealed in a Geekbench listing. Furthermore, there is loads of unconfirmed information that is available in the web sphere.

Nokia 9 PureView launch event live stream — when and where to watch

Jeet — Tue, 19 Feb 2019 10:00:42 +0000

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.

Nokia 9 case renders reaffirm penta-lens camera setup

Jed John Ikoba — Fri, 28 Dec 2018 00:27:16 +0000

Nokia 9 is trending on the path of becoming just more than an advertised product, though still void of recognition from the phone’s manufacturer, the purported Nokia 9 according to leaks will come with a Penta-camera set up that might bring Nokia “PureView” to a different level.

From a new case render leaks today, featuring different angles of the supposed Nokia 9. The render shares similarities with the former case render that has been seen. All render poses seven holes for housing five cameras set up, one optic sensor and a flash, a mic-hole is positioned just above the Penta-camera set in these recent leaks and the previous renders. Moreover, these renders do not display the front of the device, which was only featured in the supposed OnLeaks renders. However, with these series of renders, we might be expecting a finishing design of the Nokia 9. As at November, there was a leak of a full Computer Aided Diagram (CAD) render of the Nokia 9, and for all we know, these featured renders could be based mainly on those renders and basically a Nokia device. However, since the three models have been officially certified for Bluetooth, definitely a real Nokia should be around the corner.

Following the company’s trademark registration back in August, this device is believed to feature the “PureView” branding. Also, rumour has it that it will be powered by a Snapdragon 845 CPU, 8GB of RAM for the smooth running of the device, a 5.9-inch quality High Definition display (QHD) coupled with 18:9 aspect ratio and an in-display fingerprint at the rear. Several sources have disclosed that the device will be launched in the latter part of January 2019.

Live photos show the Nokia 9 packs some bezels

Habeeb Onawole — Tue, 25 Dec 2018 21:17:24 +0000

The Nokia 9 has been in the news for months now. The flagship was expected to launch this year but it is now set for a 2019 release. Most of the leaks regarding the phone’s design have focused on the rear of the phone but a new leak today gives us a look at the front of the phone.

The leak is a set of live photos of the Nokia 9 and to be honest, we are unimpressed. In a world where most manufacturers are trying really hard to ditch bezels, the Nokia 9 is rocking some thick ones. The bezels are not as thick as the ones on the Nokia 8 but when it launches next year, a year where the bezels are expected to become thinner or disappear completely, the Nokia 9 may be looking pretty dated.

[envira-gallery id=”229329″]

The top bezel is home to a camera that sits on the right corner. In the middle is a cut out for the speaker and on the left is likely where the usual sensors are. The chin is bare and doesn’t even have the Nokia branding which makes us wonder why it is so thick in the first place.

There is no fingerprint scanner visible in front and leaked images of the rear show it isn’t there too which may mean it is indeed under the display has rumored.

The Nokia 9 is already arriving late with a planned 2019 release and while we are pretty curious to see what its 5 rear cameras have to offer, we can’t tell if it will be enough to sell the device seeing as it sports a rather uninteresting design and will be powered by Snapdragon 845 processor.

Exclusive: Nokia 9 PureView case reveals penta-lens setup once again!

Anvinraj Valiyathara — Tue, 18 Dec 2018 11:05:33 +0000

Samsung Galaxy A9 (2018) is the first smartphone with rear-mounted quad cameras. The Huawei P30 Pro flagship phone arriving in Q1 2019 could be the second phone to feature quad cameras. While other companies are expected to catch on with the trend of launching smartphones with four rear-facing cameras, HMD Global is reportedly prepping up Nokia 9 PureView flagship phone with five rear cameras. Well, the penta-lens camera design of the rumored Nokia 9 PureView is not a secret since multiple leaks have revealed it. GizmoChina brings to you some new shots of Nokia 9 PureView case to reveal its design.

The Nokia 9 PureView case images matches with the CAD renders of its case that had surfaced in the previous month. It also resembles with the Nokia 9 case that is currently listed on Amazon UK. The newly leaked TPU case of the upcoming Nokia flagship phone has seven cutouts. Rumors suggest that five of them will belong to various kinds of sensors such as RGB, depth sensor, wide-angle lens, telephoto lens and monochrome sensor. The other cutouts could belong to dual-tone LED flash and a sensor for proximity detection.

Rumors have it that just as the Nokia 8 Sirocco phone lacked a 3.5mm audio jack, the Nokia 9 PureView will be also lacking it. The small round-shaped cutouts at the top and bottom edges of the TPU case of the smartphone could be for the two microphones. The bottom edge of the smartphone may also feature a USB-C port and an external speaker. The left side of the phone appears to be barren whereas the right side of the phone seems to feature volume rocker and power button. The SIM tray could be placed on the left side of the smartphone. There is no cutout for the rear-mounted fingerprint scanner which indicates that the Nokia 9 PureView could be the first Nokia phone with in-screen fingerprint scanner.

Previous leaks have revealed that the Nokia 9 PureView will be featuring 5.99-inch OLED screen with QHD+ resolution. The Snapdragon 845 chipset, 8 GB of RAM and 4,150mAh battery could be powering the smartphone. It will come preinstalled with Android 9 Pie OS. the handset is also expected to support wireless charging.

Rumors surrounding the Nokia 9 PureView smartphone claim that its arrival has been delayed, but it is still expected to go official as early as January 2019. Probably, the smartphone may go official after the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2019 in January and before the Mobile World Congress (MWC) tech expo in February.

Nokia 9 case listed on Amazon suggesting launch may be imminent

Jed John Ikoba — Tue, 27 Nov 2018 01:57:56 +0000

Nokia 9 with its Penta camera setup has been making the rounds in the rumour mills for a while now. The renders of the device have equally been spotted online severally. Interestingly, the suppose Nokia 9 case has now been listed on Amazon UK by case maker UniqueMe.

While this isn’t the first case of the device that is making the round, it happens to be the first to appear in a traceable store since the source of the first online store listing was unknown. The case is described as a TPU case with ultra-thin and lightweight design that offers maximum protection. It equally has more than five openings meant to accommodate the 5 camera sensors and an LED flash. The case notably doesn’t have an opening for a rear fingerprint sensor and that could be attributed to the likely presence of an in-display fingerprint sensor as rumoured. The bottom end seems to have an opening for a USB type-C port which is expected anyway. We can’t say for sure if there will be a 3.5mm audio jack at the other end but previous renders suggest the absence of one.

The Amazon listing schedules the case to be in stock on December 1 but it is unlikely that the phone will be launched that soon. However, Nokia may spring up a surprise by launching the model before the year runs out. For now, the Nokia 9 release date is still a mystery.

Now, it seems the plans have been shifted to launch Nokia 9 Pureview by the end of this month. As revealed by Nokia community (@nokiamobileru) on Twitter, the new device launch has been postponed due to unknown reasons.

If we believe the tweet from an official source, then it contradicts the official teasers reporting its launch on December 5th in Dubai.

There can be any reason, but you need not to wait for so long, as Nokia has confirmed that they will launch by the end of this year. Here’s what @nokiamobileru tweeted:

Add that the postponement of the announcement of the Nokia 9 – individual decision Juho Sarvikas @sarvikas.

Anvinraj Valiyathara — Tue, 06 Nov 2018 19:35:31 +0000

Nokia fans are eagerly waiting for arrival of the Nokia 9 PureView flagship phone. However, a report that had surfaced two months ago had claimed that the smartphone’s arrival has been delayed until February 2019. However, fresh information that has surfaced today reveals that the company has decided to launch the Nokia 9 PureView smartphone on an earlier date. It is now expected to get official before the Mobile World Congress (MWC) tech expo that is annually held in February.

The source claims that it is because of the media hype that HMD Global has allegedly decided to prepone the arrival of the Nokia 9. The precise launch date of the smartphone is not available yet, but the new leak claims that the phone will be launching next year before the MWC 2019. So, there is a possibility that the Finnish firm may announce the Nokia 9 PureView phone in January or early February next year. The new leak does not contain any information on the specifications of the smartphone.

The 3D renders of the Nokia 9 PureView phone that had surfaced earlier today showcased its marvelous penta-lens camera setup. The five lenses are supported by a big-sized LED flash and a laser focus module.

More details of Nokia 9 PureView seen on firmware site

Habeeb Onawole — Mon, 05 Nov 2018 15:12:05 +0000

The Nokia 9 PureView is the anticipated flagship phone from HMD Global Oy. The phone has been in development for a while now but there is still no officially confirmed release date. Nevertheless, more details keep surfacing.

New info on the flagship device was seen on the server of FIH Mobile, the Foxconn subsidiary said to be handling the phone’s production. Bits of information found revealed details about the phone’s codename and software version.

According to MySmartPrice, the Nokia 9 PureView is codenamed “Olympic”. The name might be a nod to the five cameras on its back which can be likened to the five rings of the Olympic Games. The server also revealed the phone is running Android 9 Pie with November’s security patch and has build number 00CN_4_030.

The Nokia 9 PureView is expected to change the way smartphones take pictures. Seeing as it has five cameras, we would be disappointed if the camera performance turns out to be less than stellar. The camera performance of the Nokia phones released by HMD Global has not been impressive. So a lot of people are really looking forward to the Nokia 9 PureView to succeed where the others have failed.

Apart from having five cameras, the phone is also expected to have support for wireless charging. Last week, two Nokia-branded wireless chargers were certified by the Wireless Power Consortium. One of the two chargers is actually a portable battery pack that can also charge devices via a USB port.

Alleged Nokia 9 front design leaked in fresh photos

Anvinraj Valiyathara — Fri, 28 Sep 2018 10:34:54 +0000

Nokia fans across the world are eagerly waiting for a new flagship phone from the company. A recent report had claimed that HMD Global has pushed the launch of the mysterious Nokia phone with penta-lens camera setup to February next year. The smartphone is rumored to debut as Nokia 9. Today, freshly leaked photos of the alleged Nokia 9 have surfaced on Weibo. Most of the leaked photos of the Nokia 9 that have surfaced in the recent past have only revealed the rear design of the phone. However, the new photos that have arrived today showcases the front design of the smartphone.

The new images of the Nokia 9 clearly show that it is equipped with a dual-edge curved display like the Samsung Galaxy flagship phones. The top and bottom bezels of the phone are thick. This suggests that the alleged Nokia 9 will not offer high screen-to-body ratio like the flagship phones from OPPO, Vivo, Huawei and Xiaomi.

A selfie camera seems to be present at the top-right corner of the upper bezel. The bottom bezel only features the Nokia branding. The top edge of the phone is not visible in the images. The bottom edge of the smartphone features a microphone, a USB-C port and an external speaker. There is a possibility that the handset may not feature a 3.5mm audio as the Snapdragon 835 powered Nokia 8 Sirocco phone lacks it.

The rumored specs of the Nokia 9 flagship phone include 5.9-inch OLED QHD+ display, Snapdragon 845, up to 6 GB of RAM, up to 256 GB of storage and penta-lens setup. The smartphone may arrive as Android One phone with Android 9 Pie OS preinstalled.

Nokia 9 launch reportedly delayed to February 2019

Michele Ingelido — Mon, 17 Sep 2018 14:44:33 +0000

We have been hearing about the Nokia 9 flagship since late 2017, after the launch of Nokia 8. But HMD Global still haven’t showcased it, and it looks like it will not happen anytime soon. It was initially rumored to be launched at the beginning of 2018, but instead of this device, HMD Global decided to unveil the Nokia 8 Sirocco with Snapdragon 835 from 2017. Sirocco should have been released at the end of 2017, but it was delayed. Now, according to new reports, the announcement for the last quarter of this year has been canceled as well, so the handset will be launched in February 2019 rather than in Fall 2018.

According to the most reliable hypotheses, Nokia 9 will be showcased at MWC 2019 just like its predecessor. Sadly, there is no official confirmation about the launch date, so these remain only speculations. At this point, we just hope that it will not come with the Snapdragon 845 chipset as in February there will already be some 2019 flagships with the most recent Snapdragon 855 SoC which will be announced by Qualcomm soon. Nokia 8 Sirocco did not have a huge success, and we believe that most of the fault has to be attributed to Snapdragon 835 chipset which powered 2017 flagships. According to recently leaked schematics and real photos, this flagship will be the first phone in the world to sport a Penta camera setup with five sensors on the back side.

With five cameras on the rear side, Nokia 9 may integrate each type of camera sensor ever seen on a phone: monochromatic sensor, wide-angle lens, telephoto lens and so on. And obviously, the sensors will be co-engineered with Carl Zeiss. The photo shows the Penta camera setup together with the LED flash in a revolver-like configuration with a sensor in the middle.

Do you think Nokia will once again become the company launching the best camera-phone like the good old times?

Nokia 9 and Nokia X7 display panel leaks to reveal notch-less screen design

Anvinraj Valiyathara — Fri, 14 Sep 2018 12:47:45 +0000

Rumors have it that the upcoming Nokia flagship phone that has a model number of TA-1094 may go official as Nokia 9. The USP of the phone will be its penta-lens camera setup. Recent reports have revealed only teased the rear design of the phone, but its front design has remained a mystery. A fresh report on ITHome carries a leaked image of the display panel of the alleged Nokia 9 flagship. The report also includes a leaked snapshot of the display panel of the upcoming Nokia X7 phone. The display panel images of both phones show that they will come equipped with notch-less screens.

In the image shown above, the display panel of the alleged Nokia 9 can be seen with slim-sized side bezels. There is a slightly large cutout for the selfie camera on the top bezel of the phone. The bottom bezel seems to be equally thick as upper bezel. There is no information available on the display size of the rumored Nokia 9, but the image does reveal that it will be offer an impressive screen space. Probably, it carries support for tall aspect ratio of 18:9.

The Snapdragon 845 chipset is expected to power the 64 GB and 128 GB editions of the Nokia 9. It is speculated to arrive with a big battery of 4,150mAh capacity.

The other image on the ITHome report shows the leaked display panel of the Nokia X7. The X-series Nokia phones that have released so far such as Nokia X5 (Nokia 5.1 Plus) and Nokia X6 (Nokia 6.1 Plus) have featured notched displays. Hence, it is speculated that the rumored Nokia X7 may also carry the same display design. A report from the previous month had carried a leaked shot of the notched front panel of the smartphone, but the new image that has surfaced today suggests that the Nokia X7 will come with a notch-less screen.

Fresh Nokia 9 image leaks to reveal design and huge battery

Anvinraj Valiyathara — Thu, 13 Sep 2018 09:02:00 +0000

Recent reports have revealed that the upcoming Nokia flagship phone that features a penta-lens setup has a model number of TA-1094. Even though the exact name of the phone is not confirmed, the rumor mill is referring to it as the Nokia 9 smartphone. A fresh image of the phone has appeared to tease its rear design. The image also reveals the battery capacity of the Nokia 9 phone.

The new image of the alleged Nokia 9 only reveals its rear design. The ZEISS certified penta-lens setup is positioned on the backside of the phone. There is no information available on the front design. Hence, it remains a mystery whether the Nokia 9 features a notched screen or a notch-less tall aspect ratio display.

The leaked image has also revealed that the handset is equipped with a non-removable battery of 4,150mAh capacity. If this information is true, the Nokia 9 will be the largest battery phone from the company. The back panel of the phone lacks a fingerprint reader. This indicates that its display could be embedded with an in-screen fingerprint scanner.

Recent leaks have revealed that the Nokia 9 may arrive with a 5.9-inch OLED screen that will carry support for Quad HD resolution. The Snapdragon 845 chipset is very likely power the handset. It may come preloaded with Android 9 Pie OS.

The Nokia 9 variants were recently spotted on Samsung Latvia website. The storage and SIM variants of the phone were found to be listed in Samsung’s Buyback Program which contains list of devices that can accepted for trade-ins. The site revealed that the Nokia 9 would be available in 64 GB and 128 GB storage editions. Both the phones were mentioned in single-SIM and dual-SIM versions. Probably, these could be the Nokia 9 variants for the Latvian market.

There is no confirmation on the authenticity of the leaked image shown above. The TA-1094 model was recently spotted on the website of China’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (CMIIT) which confirms the existence of the phone. It is speculated that the Nokia 9 may go official in the last quarter of this year.

Samsung Latvia’s buyback page lists different models of the unreleased Nokia 9

Habeeb Onawole — Mon, 10 Sep 2018 11:51:37 +0000

The Nokia 9 is still under development. We are still not sure about the specs though there have been a bunch of rumors floating around, the latest being the Nokia 9 is the phone with five rear cameras. There is a new info about the device and this is from a more credible source – Samsung.

Yes, this new info about the Nokia 9 is from Samsung’s own official website. The info was spotted by Roland Quandt who shared it on Twitter today and it lists the storage and SIM variants of the upcoming Nokia flagship.

If you head to Samsung Latvia’s official website and head to the buyback (trade-in) page, there is a drop-down list of devices accepted for trade-ins. Surprisingly, the unreleased Nokia 9 is also included.

The site reveals the Nokia 9 will come in two storage variants – a 64GB model and a 128GB model. Each variant will also be available in single SIM and dual-SIM configurations. There is really no reason to doubt the authenticity but it doesn’t mean these are the only possible variants of the Nokia 9. The above may just be the models that will be sold in Latvia when it finally launches.

The Nokia 9 is expected to come with a Snapdragon 845 processor, at least 4GB of RAM, and at least dual rear cameras. If HMD Global decides to follow the same schedule as last year, the Nokia 9 should be announced later this month and should go on sale in October.

Nokia 9 renders show marvelous front, rear design with penta-lens camera setup

Anvinraj Valiyathara — Fri, 07 Sep 2018 04:52:11 +0000

HMD Global is rumored to be debut a new flagship phone before the end of 2018. Recent leaks clearly indicate that the major selling point of the Nokia 9 will be its penta-lens camera setup. Yesterday, a hands-on photo of had the alleged phone had appeared on Weibo. Soon after the appearance of the hands-on image, popular design and tipster Benjamin Geskin shared fresh renders of the alleged Nokia 9 to reveal its front and rear design.

The Nokia 9 renders show that it is equipped with a notched display. The notch is small enough to house an earpiece and a selfie camera. The side bezels are quite narrow, and the chin is a bit thick as it houses the Nokia branding. The rear design suggests that it could be equipped with a glass back. There are five cameras on the rear and an LED flash. There is an additional hole which seems to be empty. The ZEISS branding is mentioned between the lenses at the top and Nokia logo is placed on the center of the phone.

The fingerprint scanner is not available on the backside of the phone. This indicates that it could be equipped with an in-screen fingerprint reader which in turn hints that it may arrive with an OLED screen.

Even though the rumor mill is referring to the next Nokia flagship with penta-lens camera setup as Nokia 9, there is no confirmation on its moniker. Around two months ago, popular tipster Roland Quandt had revealed that the upcoming flagship phone from HMD Global could be called Nokia A1 Plus. Apart from in-screen fingerprint sensor and OLED screen, it is expected to feature Snapdragon 845. The leakster had also claimed that it will be arriving with a “high risk camera,” but did not reveal any information on its camera configuration.

The front design of the upcoming Nokia flagship shown in above renders is based on the imagination of the creator. The actual device may or may not sport a notched screen. The Nokia flagship with penta-lens up has a model number of TA-1094. As of this writing, there is no information on the launch date of the phone. It may go official in the coming months.

Rumoured Nokia 9 (TA-1094) packing five rear cameras spotted online

Jed John Ikoba — Thu, 06 Sep 2018 16:56:39 +0000

A new Nokia smartphone suspected to be the Nokia 9 has been spotted online. The picture which was first posted on Chinese blog IThomes’ forum and was later published by the blog shows the device which is said to be the Nokia 9 with a five rear camera setup. This is quite an interesting one as the highest we have seen so far on a smartphone is the triple camera setup of the Huawei P20 Pro which was released earlier this year.

This isn’t the first time Nokia has been rumoured to be working on a Penta-lens camera-packing smartphone but this is the first time we are seeing a real-life prototype and not a concept render. While the tipster calls it the Nokia 9, IThomes believes it could be called Nokia 10. The phone comes with the model number TA-1094 and so could be called Nokia 9. However, we recall that several renders of the Nokia 10 concept made the rounds earlier this year. A tipster who claimed to have got knowledge of all the Snapdragon 845 smartphones equally released a list which contains the Nokia 10 as one of the models that would be launched packing Qualcomm’s 2018 flagship Snapdragon 845 System-0n-Chips. The Nokia 10’s schematics had also been the subject of a recent leak, pointing at a revolver-like camera setup but in this picture, the lenses are fixed.

The camera has the ZEISS badge which means it is manufactured by ZEISS. A recent ZEISS patent of the Penta camera setup perhaps gives an insight of how the setup will work. The patented technology utilizes an array of additional lenses having different focal lengths and mounted on a rotating lens base which sits between the camera sensor and a normal fixed lens. In this case, there is no rotating base and so it is possible software will do the work of changing from one sensor to another. The roles of the five lenses could be related to telephoto, black and white, color, blur, and multi-lens pixel synthesis but we are not so sure about that. There is no word on when Nokia will unveil its 2018 flagship but we expect that to happen soon.

Could Nokia 9 be the “most awaited phone” launching on August 21?

Anvinraj Valiyathara — Fri, 17 Aug 2018 11:54:24 +0000

Nokia Mobile has confirmed through its Twitter account that it will be launching a new smartphone on August. The tweet claims that the phone launching in the coming week is “one of the most awaited phones”. Could it be the Nokia 9 flagship phone or the international edition of the Nokia X6?

Except for few brands like Motorola and Nokia, almost all major smartphone manufacturers have launched Snapdragon 845 powered smartphones. Last year, HMD Global had launched the Nokia 8 flagship phone in August. Early rumors had claimed that Nokia 9 may go official in August or September with advanced specs like curved OLED screen, in-screen fingerprint reader, Snapdragon 845, 8 GB RAM, triple rear cameras and more. The Nokia 9 with SD845 is surely one of the most awaited phones of this year, but the Aug. 21 launch event teasers released by the company do not really suggest that it will be launching a flagship phone next week.

HMD Global had launched the Nokia X6 as its first notched smartphone earlier this year in China. Since then the Nokia fans from various markets have been requesting the Finnish company to make it available outside China. Hong Kong and Taiwan are the only markets that have received the same handset as Nokia 6.1 Plus so far. Multiple markets such as Russia, Malaysia and India are also expected to soon receive Nokia 6.1 Plus handset.

Apart from the official Nokia Mobile Twitter account, even the Twitter handle of Nokia Mobile India has confirmed that there will be a launch event on Aug. 21. Some of the global variants of the Nokia 6.1 Plus such as TA-1116, TA-1103 and TA-1083 have been certified by Wi-Fi Alliance and Bluetooth SIG bodies. Also, the user guide of the Indian edition of the Nokia 6.1 Plus was spotted recently. Hence, it seems that the Nokia 6.1 Plus may get announced in the coming week in India and some other markets. It is likely to go official as Android One handset.

Its sub-brand Honor had recently announced Honor 10 GT and Honor Note 10 smartphones with Kirin 970 SoC onboard.

An industry insider from China with well-known track record on leaked information on forthcoming phones has shared the list of flagship smartphones that are slated to debut this year.

August

September

The LG V40 ThinQ is expected to get unleashed in September. A recent report has revealed that after its unveiling in September, the company release it in the market in early October.

The 2018 iPhones will be also arriving in September. Recent reports have suggested that the two upcoming OLED iPhones may debut as iPhone 9 and iPhone 9 Plus. The company is also expected to announce LCD iPhone in September. However, a recent report has claimed that since the Cupertino company has encountered production issues with the LCD iPhone, it may hit the market by October or early November.

Last year, Xiaomi had launched the Mi MIX 2 on Sept. 11 and on the very next Apple had announced the iPhone X as its first OLED iPhone. Hence, the Mi MIX 3 is pegged to arrive in September this year. However, the leakster has claimed that there is a possibility that the smartphone may get announced in October. A recent report has revealed that it may arrive with improved design.

October

The Google Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL phones are speculated to go official either in September or October. Since the predecessor Google Pixel phones were unveiled in October, it is likely that this year also the company may follow the same launch pattern. The Nubia Z19 and Huawei Mate 20 series that includes Mate 20 and Mate 20 Pro are poised to get unveiled by mid-October.

November

By mid-November, OnePlus may announce the OnePlus 6T smartphone. Honor may rival it by launching the Honor V11 smartphone around the same time.

Vivo X22 or Xplay7 is also likely to debut by the end of this year. Could this be the first ever 10 GB RAM phone that is rumored to go official this year?

The leakster has further claimed Apple 12 that powers the forthcoming 2018 iPhones is a 7nm SoC. The 7nm Kirin 980 SoC is expected to fuel Mate 20, Mate 20 Pro, Honor V11 and Honor Magic 2 smartphones. Rest of the phones are speculated to feature the 10nm Snapdragon 845 SoC. However, it seems unlikely that the OPPO R17 and Vivo X22 will arrive with SD845 SoC.

Some of the other flagship phones that are not mentioned in the above list include Nokia 9 or Nokia A1 Plus, Razer Phone 2, Sony Xperia XZ3, Xperia XZ3 Compact and XZ3 Premium. The Moto Z3 is expected to official tomorrow.

Nokia’s upcoming flagship with multiple cameras may cost $1,000

Anvinraj Valiyathara — Tue, 24 Jul 2018 04:04:42 +0000

The Nokia 8 and Nokia 8 Sirocco are the only flagship phones by HMD Global. Unlike flagship phones from other brands like Apple, Samsung, Huawei, LG and so on that are priced expensively, the Nokia 8 and Nokia 8 Sirocco have affordable pricing. Fresh information reveals that the upcoming Nokia flagship phone may cost around $1,000 and it will be delivering topnotch photography experience.

The name of the forthcoming Nokia flagship is still under the wraps. Past reports have suggested that 2018 Nokia flagship could be called Nokia 9 or Nokia 10 or event Nokia A1 Plus. If it will be priced around $1,000, it has to carry top-notch specs and design. It is now speculated that the smartphone will be arriving with a notch-less display and it is likely to feature Light’s multiple camera sensor. The exact specs of the smartphone is not known, but it should be packed with the latest Qualcomm SoC, 6 GB or higher RAM and a large internal storage.

Popular tipster Roland Quandt had claimed in the previous month that forthcoming Nokia A1 Plus will be fueled by Snapdragon 845 SoC and it will be fitted with an OLED screen supplied by LG Display. The handset is expected to arrive as the first Nokia phone with in-display fingerprint scanner. It also rumored to be loaded with Android 9.0 P.

When it came to camera of Nokia A1 Plus, Quandt had also unearthed that the smartphone could be equipped with “high risk camera” without mentioning more information on it. He had stated that the Finnish firm has been working on the Nokia A1 Plus from February this year and the company could be aiming to announce it by the end of Q3 this year.

It is speculated that the firm may use the IFA 2018 platform to announce the Nokia A1 Plus. The Nokia 8 was unveiled in October 2017. Hence, there is a possibility that the Finland-based firm may choose to announce its upcoming flagship by October this year. Hopefully, the rumor mill may reveal specs and images of next flagship phone by the company in the coming weeks.

Anvinraj Valiyathara — Mon, 02 Apr 2018 13:29:26 +0000

Nokia 9 Concept Renders Show its Marvelous Notched Design

Anvinraj Valiyathara — Thu, 15 Mar 2018 09:38:43 +0000

HMD Global is reportedly working on Nokia 9 smartphone. The Nokia 8 Sirocco that was launched at the Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2018 tech expo at the end of February features an impressive full screen design. Since the Nokia 9 is expected to arrive as a premium flagship phone, it is pegged to arrive as a better-looking device than the Nokia 8 Sirocco that sports a dual edge curved display. The concept renders of the Nokia 9 suggests that the handset may arrive with a notch enabled display.

As it can be seen in the new renders, the Nokia 9 concept model sitting on the left side sports a notched screen. Instead of dual edge curved display, the handset has super-slim side bezels. The bottom bezel that is slightly thick features the Nokia branding.

The rear view of the concept model has not been revealed. Leaked information has revealed that the upcoming Nokia 9 premium flagship will be flanked with penta-lens camera setup on its rear.

Nokia 8 Pro Pegged to Sport Impressive Specs With Cheaper Pricing

Anvinraj Valiyathara — Mon, 12 Mar 2018 06:13:11 +0000

Nokia 8 Sirocco handset was introduced at the Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2018 tech expo in the previous month. It is nothing but an improved edition of the Nokia 8 flagship from last year. Recent leaks have revealed that HMD Global will be launching two Snapdragon 845 chipset flagship phones this year. These include the cheaper Nokia 8 Pro and the premium Nokia 9. The rumor mill has leaked some key details of the Nokia 8 Pro in the recent weeks.

The Nokia 8 Pro may arrive as upgraded edition of the Nokia 8 Sirocco. Some rumors have claimed that it may feature the same 12-megapixel dual camera setup that is available on the Nokia 8 Sirocco. However, some reports claim that it may feature a pair of 16-megapixel snappers. Also, it may feature a 13-megapixel selfie camera.

The Nokia 8 Pro may house a 6.01-inch display that will carry support for 18:9 aspect ratio and Full HD+ resolution. The Snapdragon 845 powered phone may come in two models. The base model may feature 6 GB of RAM and 64 GB of storage whereas the higher model may have 8 GB of RAM and 128 GB of storage.

The handset may feature a glass rear. This indicates that it may carry support for wireless charging. A 4,000mAh battery may fuel the budget flagship phone. It is expected to come loaded with Android 8.1 Oreo and it may be equipped with a rear-mounted fingerprint reader. Like the Nokia 8 Sirocco, the Nokia 8 Pro may also arrive as an Android One device. It is rumored to debut in August this year.

In September, the Finnish company may launch the Nokia 9 flagship phone. The premium flagship driven by the same Snapdragon 845 SoC may come with some topnotch features such as wireless charging, in-screen fingerprint scanner and penta-lens camera setup on its rear.

We advise our readers to digest this report with a grain of salt and wait for more information on the Nokia 8 Pro and Nokia 9 flagships through upcoming leaks.

Nokia 9 Could Come With A Notch And An Under-Display Fingerprint Sensor: Report

Michele Ingelido — Mon, 12 Mar 2018 03:17:05 +0000

After the arrival of the Apple iPhone X, everyone seems to have caught the notch bug. According to a new report published by NPU even Nokia 9, the most powerful HMD Global flagship of 2018, will feature a notch up front. This obviously hints at the presence of a display with a high screen-to-body ratio and very narrow bezels. Indeed, the notch is used by smartphone manufacturers to minimize the bezels on the upper portion of the display. Given that the phone will have very narrow bezels and there will be no space for a physical Home key with a fingerprint reader on the front, Nokia 9 could include an under-display fingerprint reader.

According to the report, users will just need to touch the display to unlock the phone, thanks to the new chip unveiled by Synaptics. We have already seen such a fingerprint reader on the Vivo X20 Plus UD and it will be also present on its successor Vivo X21. According to NPU, Nokia 9 will be a totally different device from the Nokia 8 Sirocco released at MWC 2018, even though Nokia 8 Sirocco was supposed to be called Nokia 9 before the official announcement. Among other specs, Nokia 9 (2018) is expected to sport a curved edge-to-edge display like the Nokia 8 Sirocco, but it will likely have an 18:9 aspect ratio.

Further, we expect to see a very innovative camera. Previous leaks have suggested that this device will come with a Penta-lens camera co-engineered with Carl Zeiss. Under the hood, there should be the best SoC by Qualcomm. We are referring to the octa-core Snapdragon 845 SoC which can run at a max frequency of 2.9 GHz and includes a dedicated module for artificial intelligence. We still have no info about the launch date of the handset, neither about its availability and its launch price.

Nokia 8 Pro Cheaper Snapdragon 845 Flagship & Premium Nokia 9 with Penta-Lens, In-screen Fingerprint Scanner Debuting This Year

Anvinraj Valiyathara — Mon, 05 Mar 2018 05:55:45 +0000

Nokia 8 Sirocco was unveiled at the Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2018 as a major upgrade over Nokia 8 flagship phone from last year. The Nokia 8 Sirocco comes with a trendy full screen design and it runs on cleaner Android One (Android 8.0 Oreo) out-of-the-box. However, it is powered by Snapdragon 835 which also powers the Nokia 8. Fresh information reveals that HMD Global will be launching two Snapdragon 845 chipset powered flagship phones later this year, namely Nokia 8 Pro and Nokia 9. The Nokia 8 Pro is expected to debut as a cheaper Snapdragon 845 while the Nokia 9 will be a premium phone.

Nokia 9 is rumored to arrive with a 5.7-inch display. Even though the source has not confirmed, there is a possibility that the screen will offer an 18:9 aspect ratio. It could be the company’s first phone to arrive with under-display fingerprint sensor. It may higher storage and RAM than the Nokia 8 Pro.

The USP of the phone could be its penta-lens camera setup. It will be competing with premium flagship phones like the Samsung Galaxy S9+. It is expected to get announced in September this year.

A report from the previous month had carried images of what appeared like real Nokia 9 handset. The handset was spotted with dual edge curved display panel and dual camera setup.

Nokia 8 Pro is expected to debut in August this year. It is rumored to house a 5.5-inch display. As mentioned above, the Snapdragon 845 SoC that is pegged to power the Nokia 9 is also expected to be present under the hood of Nokia 8 Pro. However, the handset is expected to arrive with a lower pricing. Last year, the Nokia 8 competed with the likes of OnePlus 5T and Xiaomi Mi MIX 2. Hence, the Nokia 8 Pro could be designed to take on cheaper flagships like OnePlus 6 and Mi MIX 3.

The rumor mill is expected to reveal more information on the Nokia 9 and Nokia 8 Pro flagship phones in the coming month.

Nokia 9 Protective Cases By Tudia Highlight Its Curved Display And Dual Cameras

Michele Ingelido — Mon, 19 Feb 2018 18:25:41 +0000

HMD Global is planning the launch of several smartphones in H1 2018. Among them, the Nokia 7 Plus, Nokia 8 Pro, and Nokia 9 smartphones (even though several concepts of the Nokia 10 have recently surfaced) should be placed right on top of the lineup. The latter should be the best one among these, and today several renders are showing off its design. In the images, we can see the flagship enclosed in some protective covers by Tudia, which is a popular case maker. The renders make us easily notice a curved edge-to-edge screen.

We cannot see any bezels on the sides, but it could be because the cases are covering them. The display also has narrow bezels on the upper and the lower part, but there is space for the company logo under it. From one of the renders, it is possible to notice that the back cover is made of either glass or ceramic, while the frame seems to be made of aluminum. The color of the handset is a bit strange and unusual, but thanks to the contrast, we can distinguish the details better.

On the rear side of the alleged Nokia 9, there is a dual camera setup in a vertical configuration. Under it, there is a fingerprint reader, while on the right we can see a LED flash. The volume rocker is placed on the right side, together with the power key. Considering that they have been published by a known case maker, we can give to this render a good level of reliability, but we can not guarantee their authenticity. Nokia 9 is expected to arrive with an octa-core Snapdragon 845 SoC; however, there is no info about a possible launch at MWC 2018.

Nokia 10 Rumors Debunked; Nokia 8 Pro with Penta-Lens, Snapdragon 845 May Launch Instead

Anvinraj Valiyathara — Mon, 19 Feb 2018 13:09:24 +0000

Recent reports have been claiming that HMD Global will be launching the Nokia 10 flagship smartphone with penta-lens camera setup in August this year. However, a fresh report reveals that the Nokia 10 smartphone is not in works.

Jeet — Tue, 13 Feb 2018 18:19:06 +0000

At the upcoming Mobile World Congress 2018 later this month, HMD Global is expected to launch a range of Nokia-branded devices. The expected list of devices include Nokia 1, Nokia 6 (2018), and Nokia 8 Sirocco.

While the devices will get announced later this month, they won’t be launched in the Indian market soon. A report suggests that the Nokia 1, Nokia 6 (2018) and the Nokia 8 Sirocco will make their way to the Indian market in the month of April.

The report further adds that along with these three devices, the company could also launched a couple of more devices in the Indian market. However, HMD Global has not yet confirmed any of these devices for the MWC 2018 launch.

The Nokia 1 could be the company’s most affordable smartphone and is expected to be the part of Google’s Android Go program. The Android Oreo Go edition has been optimized to support hardware with low-end specifications without compromising on user experience.

According to the previous reports, the Nokia 1 is expected to come with an HD IPS LCD display and run either Qualcomm or MediaTek processor along with 1GB of RAM and 8GB of internal storage. The device is expected to be priced around Rs. 6,500 in the Indian market.

At the upcoming MWC in Barcelona, the company is expected to announce Nokia 6 (2018) globally, which is already available in China. This second-generation Nokia 6 comes with a 5.5-inch full HD LCD display with an aspect ratio of 16:9 and screen resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels. It sits well protected under 2.5D Corning Gorilla Glass 3.

Under the hood, it is powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 630 processor and packs 4GB RAM with 32GB/64GB of internal storage. At the back, there’s a dual-LED enabled 16-megapixel camera and an 8-megapixel 84-degree wide-angle front-facing snapper.

The Nokia 8 Sirocco, which is also referred as Nokia 9, is expected to be the premium offering from the company. It is believed to be a high-end phone running the latest Snapdragon 845 processor. It is likely to feature a 5.5-inch Quad HD OLED display with 3D glass on top.

Reports suggests that the device will pack dual ZEISS-certified cameras at the back, having a combination of 12-megapixel sensor and a 13-megapixel sensor. On the front, there will be a 5-megapixel selfie camera. As per the reports, the device is expected to arrive with IP67 certification for dust and water resistance.

As said, the company has not yet confirmed any of these devices for the MWC 2018 launch. We’ll have to wait till the official Nokia event at Mobile World Congress later this year to know for sure which devices are being launched by the HMD Global.

Alleged Nokia 9 Spotted In The Hands Of HMD Official

Jed John Ikoba — Tue, 13 Feb 2018 14:57:52 +0000

Nokia sent out invitations about three weeks ago for its launch event taking place on February 25 during MWC 2018. The HMD Global-controlled company is expected to unveil the Nokia 9 flagship alongside other smartphones. Ahead of the February 25 launch event, a device suspected to be the Nokia 9 has been spotted in the hands of an HMD Global official. The sighting was done during the recent launch of the Nokia 8 for the Indonesian market held in Jakarta.

The leaked photos of the device are sort of blurry but sure isn’t any of the present crops of Nokia models in the market. Based on previous leaks and renders, the device is very much suspected to be the Nokia 9. The display screen features a curved edge similar to the Galaxy S8 and Galaxy Note 8. The device, however, doesn’t look too long, fueling speculations that the device will have a 16:9 aspect ratio instead of the trending 18:9 which almost all latest flagships use. The back cover is also made of glass and we could see a dual camera setup mounted in a vertical arrangement at the centre. Just beneath the dual cameras is the fingerprint sensor and this setup aligns with the leaked protective TPU casing which has been a regular in leaks, even finding its way into Amazon UK.

Apart from the flagship Nokia 9, HMD Global could also take the wraps off Nokia 1 as well as the Nokia 6 (2018) for the global market, Nokia 3310 4G and perhaps, the Nokia 7 which has only been launched in China. It would be recalled that last year’s MWC saw a flurry of smartphone launch by the tech giant including the Nokia 3, Nokia 5, Nokia 6 and the redesigned Nokia 3310 feature phone. Apart from smartphones, we could see Nokia also launch a smart home product at the event. The event would hold between 4 pm and 5 pm at the Barcelona Museum of Contemporary Arts on February 25.

But now, a couple of other cases by different case manufacturers have been listed. Popular case maker Terrapin even has the Nokia 9 protective cases on its website with the same design.

Most of the listings are 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 all the renders and it is located just beneath the rear camera.

According to a recent FCC listing, the Nokia 9 is expected to sport a 5.5-inch OLED screen with 2K resolution supplied by LG Display.

Alleged Nokia E71 (2018) 4G Feature Phone’s Specs Leaked, May Debut with Nokia 9

Anvinraj Valiyathara — Fri, 22 Dec 2017 05:18:18 +0000

HMD Global is rumored to debut a couple of new phones such as Nokia 6 (2018), Nokia 8 (2018) and Nokia 9 at the start of 2018. It is also speculated to be working on a new 4G feature phone after meeting with success by the launch of Nokia 3310 (2017) this year. Recent reports have revealed that the rumored 4G feature phone has already received FCC and Bluetooth SIG certification. Fresh information suggests that the upcoming 4G feature phone from HMD Global could be the revamped edition of the Nokia E71 Qwerty keyboard enabled phone from 2008.

Nokia E71 (2018) is expected to house a 3.5-inch touchscreen display that will be delivering a resolution of 480p. The Snapdragon 205 chipset by Qualcomm that is designed to bring 4G LTE on low-budget and feature phones is speculated to power the Nokia E71 (2018) along with 1 GB RAM.

The E71 (2018) is expected to feature an internal storage of 8 GB and it may also allow users to take advantage of additional storage through the microSD card slot. It is likely to be fitted with a rear-mounted camera of 3-megapixel. It is expected to arrive in single-SIM and dual-SIM options in different markets.

As of this writing, there is no official confirmation from HMD Global on the existence of the Nokia E71 (2018). Rumors have it that the Finnish company may not release the phone in the home market of China. The Chinese media claims that the phone may cost around 2,000 Yuan (~$300). Such a pricing may not attract buyers as there many smartphones from popular brands like Huawei and Xiaomi that are priced around 1,000 Yuan (~$150). Hence, the Finnish firm will have to price the Nokia E71 (2018) well under 1,000 Yuan (~$150) to entice a lot of buyers.

The Nokia 9 flagship is speculated to debut as early as January 2018. There is a possibility that the company may unveil it alongside the Nokia 9.

Nokia 9 to Arrive with Dual Selfie Cameras

Anvinraj Valiyathara — Thu, 21 Dec 2017 05:20:39 +0000

The FCC listing of the Nokia 9 had revealed that it would be coming with a 5-megapixel selfie camera. However, a leaked render that had surfaced yesterday revealed that the phone features dual selfie cameras. Investigating on the configuration of the frontal camera on its manufacturer’s website has revealed that the Nokia 9 will be indeed arriving with dual front-facing cameras.

According to the FCC documentation of the Nokia 9, it will be featuring a Chicony CKACE16 module for the frontal camera. By checking the specifications of the camera module on the manufacturer site, it can be confirmed that it is a dual camera system. However, the specs page of the camera module carries an image of single sensor. The webpage seems to feature a wrong image for the dual camera sensor.

The Chicony CKACE16 is an autofocus enabled dual camera setup that features an f/2.0 aperture 5-megapixel sensor that carries support for full HD video recording. It also includes another 5-megapixel sensor with f/2.4 aperture.

The leaked render of the Nokia 9 that can be seen above shows the dual selfie camera sitting on its top bezel. The render shows that the smartphone features slim bezels around the display and it lack a front-mounted fingerprint scanner. This suggests that the fingerprint reader could be placed on the back panel of the Nokia 9.

The FCC filing of the smartphone has revealed that it would be featuring a 5.5-inch OLED display that may support 18:9 aspect ratio. The Snapdragon 835 chipset is present under the hood of the phone. It includes UFS 2.1 storage of 128 GB and it will also include a microSD card slot. It will be equipped with 12-megapixel + 13-megapixel dual rear-facing cameras. A 3,250mAh battery equipped with fast charging feature will be powering the Nokia 9. The Geekbench listing of the phone has revealed that it be featuring 6 GB of RAM and Android 8.0 Oreo OS.

The Nokia 9 is speculated to get official on January 19 along with the second-generation edition of the Nokia 8.
