Nokia 9 tipped to get a dual camera front setup

The Nokia 9 got leaked a few days ago supposedly with a 5-megapixel front camera. But now, GSMArena reports there will actually be a dual camera setup for this phone’s front shooter. The FCC listing has a Chicony CKACE16 module, which according to the manufacturer’s site is a dual camera module. The camera comes with an f/2.0 aperture for one of the modules, the other has f/2.4 lens. The f/2.0 supports 1080p video. It also comes with autofocus. No other details about the lens, though. But we should hear more once HMD Global officially launches the phone.

The new Nokia 7 intros same camera feature as Nokia 8 but in a more budget-friendly form

HMD Global, the company behind the new Android-powered, Nokia-branded devices we’ve started to see on the market, has just filled in a missing piece in its growing line of Nokia devices with the Nokia 7. Previously, the brand has released Nokia 3, 5, 6, and the 8. In terms of specs and price, the Nokia 7 does fit right in the middle of the pack. It comes with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 630 processor, 5.2-inch 1080p IPS LCD screen, 4GB RAM with 64GB of storage or 6GB RAM with 128GB storage, support for expandable storage via microSD, and a 3,000mAh battery. This model brings in the Nokia 8’s “bothie” feature, which is basically the ability of the phone’s cameras to take front and rear photos simultaneously. In terms of camera specs, we get a 16-megapixel rear camera with 1.12um pixels and an f/1.8 aperture and a 5-megapixel front camera with 1.4um pixels and f/2.0 aperture.

The Nokia 7 is coming to China first on October 24th with the two models selling at ¥2,499 and ¥2,699 or around $470 and $507, respectively. No word yet when the phone will be launching outside of China.

Nokia 9 gets leaked, shows curved glass design and dual rear camera setup

HMD Global is on a roll with its Nokia-branded releases. The company has already unveiled four Nokia devices this year and it looks like there’s one more coming out in the future. The Nokia 9 seems to be meant for the higher end market, similar to the Nokia 8. The new device has been leaked by @OnLeaks and Compareraja, complete with the 360-degree render video you see above.

The rumoured device shows a curved glass design for the front and the rear, a dual camera setup at the rear, rear fingerprint scanner, and USB Type-C port. What’s missing is a headphone jack, which a lot of flagships have started to adopt. In terms of specs, this will reportedly have a 5.5-inch, bezels QHD display, Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 processor, 4GB of RAM, and 64GB or 128GB internal storage. Dimensions of 140.9 x 72.9 x 7.5mm (or 8.9mm with the camera bump).

Leaked Nokia 2 might be a budget phone with a big battery

HMD Global is steadily building up its Nokia brand and it looks like a budget option might be on its way. Evan Blass just leaked what’s said to be the Nokia 2. And looks-wise it does look like an entry-level option. Those who are averse to bezels will not like this option. But beggars can’t be choosers, right?

Android Authority is speculating October 5 to be the release date, because dates in renders usually match launch time. However, that could change so we’ll keep our eyes out for any announcements. As for specs, we don’t have those yet but if the Nokia 3, which is a budget-friendly option already, expect this to be smaller and with less powerful specs. One thing where the Nokia 2 might shine though is in terms of battery. An FCC certification for the phone claims the battery will be 4,000mAh battery, which would be amazing for a budget phone with a small display. We should find out more about this device soon.
