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.

Nokia 8 might be coming out sooner than we think

Yesterday we found out that HMD Global, the brand that makes Nokia-branded devices, lost its CEO Arto Nummela and he seems to have left at a critical time. It has been rumoured for a while now that Nokia is set to reveal a new device called the Nokia 8. And now we kind of see what it might look like. Nokia’s Chinese website put up a promotional image of the unannounced device. GSMArena is speculating that we might see the device by today, based on the date seen in the lock screen. It has the same blue color back and black front seen in previously leaked renders.

Rumoured specs of the device include a 5.3-inch QHD touchscreen, Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 processor, 4GB or 6GB RAM, and Android 7.1.1 Nougat. It’ll have a dual rear camera setup equipped with 13-megapixel Zeiss-branded lenses. Price for the unlocked unit is tipped to be around €550-600 (around CA$800-$870).

HMD Global, maker of Nokia devices, loses its CEO

The Nokia 3310 gets reimagined under HMD Global

Ahead of the rumoured release of a new Nokia device (the Nokia 8), HMD Global, the company who makes Nokia-branded phones, just lost its CEO in a rather abrupt exit. According to HMD, the parting with former CEO Arto Nummela is based on a “mutual agreement.” Not much else was said except it comes at a weird time when HMD has started to build up momentum for the new Nokia devices. Nummela will be temporarily replaced by current President and founder Florian Seiche while the company looks for a new CEO.
