Nokia 9 with 5-cameras could be launched in September itself
What's the story
Days after a concept render highlighted a penta-camera setup on Nokia 9, a new leak has claimed that the phone may be launched in September itself.
Nokia 9, the successor to Nokia 8, is rumored to feature a notch-based display, a five-camera setup on the back, 4,150mAh battery and will arrive as part of the Android One program.
Here's everything we know so far.
Release date
Why was the delay though?
Citing sources familiar with the matter, NokiaPowerUser has claimed that Nokia 9 may be launched in September this year.
Earlier, following some production issues with the penta-camera setup, HMD Global had delayed the launch.
Notably, the phone had passed MIIT certification in China back in May this year, and had entered production in August.
Design & Display
Nokia 9: At a glance
Up front, the Nokia 9 is likely to feature a notch based display with ultra-small bezels on the sides and a slimmer-yet-noticeable bottom chin.
On the back, the phone is expected to have a glass back that will house the five-camera setup and a flash module.
Further, previous reports had suggested that Nokia 9 will get a 6.01-inch display with Gorilla Glass 5 protection.
Camera
About the penta-camera setup on Nokia 9
Additionally, a hands-on image of an alleged Nokia 9 was leaked in China.
The image shows a one-of-its-kind camera array with 5 lenses, a flash module and possibly an IR focusing equipment.
Moreover, the image shows ZEISS branding, meaning the camera optics would be premium.
Further, all camera cut-outs on Nokia 9 appear to be flush with the screen rather than being protruding.
