14 DAY TRIAL // HMD Global announced three new Nokia-branded smartphones running Android OS during this year’s edition of the Mobile World Congress, and the company has already revealed that new premium devices will arrive later this year.
A video leaked over at DroidHolic reveals the upcoming Nokia 8, together with another unannounced Nokia-branded smartphone. In addition, the video shows a total of four Nokia devices, including the Nokia 3 and Nokia 5, which were already announced.
One of the devices resembles the Nokia 6, but appears to have a different camera setup on the back, signaling the fact that it could actually be the Nokia 7. The fourth smartphone has a dual-camera setup on the rear and it might actually be the Nokia 8. Reputable leakster Evan Blass revealed that the video came from a person who worked closely with Nokia over the years, thus adding weight to the authenticity of the shared information.
Nokia 9 could come with a fingerprint sensor built into the display
Another detail that’s visible in the leaked video is the 3.5mm headphone jack on new Nokia phones, meaning that HMD Global isn’t interested in following some competitors and ditching the headphone jack on new offerings. Nokia 8 also appears to feature a full metal and glass body, together with a USB Type-C port.
Nokia 9 is also visible in the video, and the fingerprint scanner appears to be built directly into the display, although we can’t say for sure if the final retail version will have such a design. Nokia 9 is expected to feature a 22MP dual-sensor on the back and run the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 with 6GB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage.
Its display is said to reach a size of 5.5 inches with Quad HD resolution, while the smartphone is expected to come with Nokia’s OZO Audio technology. There is little information on the upcoming Nokia 8, while HMD Global is expected to release 6-7 smartphones this year, one of them being the Nokia 7.
