Previous to the launch of the Nokia 8 (in September 2017) and eight Sirocco (in February 2018) it had been a very long time since we would seen a Nokia flagship, however we're in line for one more within the type of the Nokia 9 (or Nokia 9 PureView as it could be known as).
Replace: The most recent Nokia 9 PureView leaks factors to a launch earlier than MWC 2019 in February, and it could pack the newest energy below the hood.
HMD International - the corporate that is revived the Nokia title on smartphones – has up to now in any other case unleashed a handful of entry-level and mid-range telephones, just like the Nokia 3.1 Plus, Nokia 5.1, Nokia 7.1 and Nokia 8.1.
The highest-end Nokia 9 launch date appears set to be in February of 2019, and it might be positioned to really compete with the likes of the Samsung Galaxy S10, Sony Xperia XZ4 and Huawei P30 - one thing the Nokia Eight Sirocco wasn't in a position to do with the category of flagships it went up in opposition to at launch.

The Nokia Eight Sirocco was the final Nokia flagship - we're hoping for extra from the Nokia 9 PureView
Nokia 9 launch date
The most recent Nokia 9 PureView launch date rumor factors to pre-MWC 2019 launch in February, which strikes us away from earlier Nokia 9 launch date rumors of a late January announcement.
It additionally goes against another Nokia 9 PureView launch date idea, which hand the handset arriving at MWC 2019 in late February.
A pre-MWC launch may doubtlessly see the Nokia 9 PureView conflict with the Samsung Galaxy S10, which is because of launch on February 20.
Apart from that every one we now have to go on is a declare from one other leaker that it is "coming quickly", and a remark from a consultant for HMD International, who has hinted that the cellphone is on the way in which, and that it'll have a bigger display "to satisfy the wants of completely all customers" - although they could have been speaking concerning the Sirocco.

Nokia 9 display
Hottest leaks:
The most recent display rumor comes from what appears to be a leaked promotional video (which you'll watch beneath), which says the cellphone has a 5.99-inch 2K HDR10 show.
One other display rumor places the show at 5.9 inches, including that it'll have an 18:9 side ratio.
Nonetheless, a a lot earlier display rumor states that the Nokia 9 may have a 5.7-inch display, whereas a Nokia Eight Professional will apparently land with a 5.5-inch one.
It is doubtless that the Nokia 9 would match or exceed the scale and determination of the Nokia Eight Sirocco, so count on a minimum of that from it. It is also doubtless to make use of OLED, for the reason that Nokia Eight Sirocco does and it is usually thought of superior to LCD. We have additionally heard OLED particularly rumored.
The display could also be curved too, for the reason that show on the Nokia Eight Sirocco is, although leaked photographs (beneath below the design heading) present a flat display.
Apart from that, a handful of leaks (together with the video above) are saying that the Nokia 9 may have an in-screen scanner, and certainly the newest photographs of the cellphone present no seen scanner, suggesting that is the case.
It is a declare that we have heard once more extra not too long ago, and now that some large title telephones just like the OnePlus 6T have launched with one it would not be stunning.
TechRadar’s take: A 5.99-inch display would make sense to be able to assist the Nokia 9 stand out from the 5.5-inch Nokia Eight Sirocco, and an in-screen scanner is a definite risk too.
Nokia 9 design
Hottest leaks:
- A metallic and glass construct
- 155 x 75 x 7.9mm dimensions
The clearest design leaks take the type of high-quality renders, pictured beneath. You possibly can see from them that the Nokia 9 seemingly has a metallic body and a glass again, whereas the scale are apparently 155 x 75 x 7.9mm.
There's additionally a penta-lens digicam (extra on this beneath), bezels above and beneath the display, no notch and no 3.5mm headphone port.

Nonetheless, one (a lot older) supply claims the Nokia 9 may have an all-metal physique, whereas one other says to count on it to be IP68 licensed, which might make it mud proof and water-resistant to 1.5 meters deep for as much as 30 minutes.
One other (once more, a lot older) leaked picture of the cellphone solely exhibits the entrance, however you may see that the bezels are tiny and it has a dual-lens front-facing digicam. There is no fingerprint scanner, so that is doubtless on the again or within the display.
This might be the form of the Nokia 9. (credit score: 91mobiles / Weibo)
Nonetheless this does not match up with an excellent earlier leaked picture giving us a detailed have a look at the back and front of a cellphone that was believed to be the Nokia 9, the place it appears so much just like the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge, with a curved display, bezels above and beneath and what seems to be a glass again.

The picture additionally exhibits a dual-lens digicam and a rear-facing fingerprint scanner. Nonetheless, it appears so much just like the now-announced Nokia Eight Sirocco, so that would really be what we're seeing right here - or it might be that the Nokia 9 will look similar to the Sirocco.
In any case, leaked renders match up with the curvy picture above, whereas including dimensions to the combination, revealing that the Nokia 9 will apparently be 140.9 x 72.9 x 7.5mm. You can too see from these photographs that there is not any 3.5mm headphone port.

TechRadar’s take: The most recent, penta-lens-packed photographs of the Nokia 9 are the probably to be correct.
Nokia 9 digicam
Hottest leaks:
- A penta-lens digicam
- A dual-lens front-facing digicam
The most recent leaks present the Nokia 9 packing a penta-lens digicam. You possibly can see this in a few of the photographs and the video above, with extra holes for a dual-LED flash and what may be a proximity sensor of some sort. The identical supply suggests only a single-lens digicam on the entrance.
In response to the leaked promotional video above, the digicam has Zeiss optics, the flexibility to take 5 photographs directly, capturing 10x extra mild. You can too apparently refocus photographs after you've got taken them.
This is not the primary time we have heard speak of 5 lenses, and one other rumor claims Nokia is engaged on a 'excessive danger' digicam for the cellphone, and 5 lenses would definitely appear dangerous. However some earlier leaks disagree with these five-lens claims.
The earliest Nokia 9 rumors pointed to a dual-lens digicam, and a more moderen leak backs that up, with a tipster claiming it can have a 22MP dual-lens Carl Zeiss snapper on the again and a 12MP digicam on the entrance.
Each of these cameras have extra megapixels than most telephones, although they’re not fairly a match for the 41MP Nokia Lumia 1020.
Nonetheless, different leaks counsel that there will likely be a pair of 12MP and 13MP lenses on the again (although this might be speaking concerning the Nokia Eight Sirocco) and a 5MP dual-lens digicam on the entrance.
As for what the second lens will likely be used for, it is prone to be much like the Sirocco, which makes use of them for 2x optical zoom and to create bokeh results, blurring the background of photographs.
Although in the usual Nokia 8's case there is a monochrome lens and an RGB one, that are mixed for higher photographs, particularly in low mild, in order that's one other risk.
TechRadar’s take: The most recent rumors level to a penta-lens digicam, so unlikely as it'd sound that is fairly probably what we'll get.
Nokia 9 battery
Hottest leaks:
- An enormous 3,800mAh battery
- Quick and wi-fi charging
There’s just one battery dimension rumor up to now, and it factors to a 3,800mAh juice pack with Qualcomm Fast Cost 4.
That might make it far greater than most smartphone batteries, with even one thing just like the Samsung Galaxy S9 Plus having only a 3,500mAh battery.
The leaked promotional video above additionally factors to wi-fi charging being included.
TechRadar’s take: A 3,800mAh battery appears about proper for a 5.99-inch cellphone. Quick and wi-fi charging are additionally doubtless, as these have turn out to be pretty commonplace options.
Nokia 9 OS and energy
Hottest leaks:
- NEW: could pack newest Snapdragon 855 chipset
- 6GB or 8GB of RAM
- Android 9 software program
The most recent rumor claims that the Nokia 9 may have a Snapdragon 855 chipset from Qualcomm, going in opposition to various earlier Nokia 9 PureView leaks that claimed it might ship with the older Snapdragon 845 chipset.
We're maintaining our fingers crossed that the newest Nokia 9 rumor is correct, as it might be disappointing to see a flagship cellphone launch with the earlier era chipset.
There's loads of proof for the 845 although. One other leak says the identical, as does the leaked video above.
We have additionally beforehand heard that an upcoming Nokia cellphone may need a Snapdragon 845 chipset. The Nokia 9 is not named, however it might be the apparent candidate.
We have additionally seen two benchmarks seemingly for the cellphone, each of which additionally listing a Snapdragon 835 chipset, however certainly one of which lists 4GB of RAM, whereas the opposite claims it comes with 8GB.
Provided that the Nokia Eight Sirocco comes with 6GB although that is the least we would count on from the Nokia 9, and there is not any probability it can have a Snapdragon 835 chipset.
We wouldn’t count on to see any form of overlay, as HMD International has caught with inventory Android on its present crop of handsets. Certainly, the leaked promotional video above factors to close inventory Android 9.
TechRadar’s take: The rumored specs would put the Nokia 9 close to the top-end, however we're hopeful that it may need one thing newer than the Snapdragon 845.
Nokia 9 different options
Hottest leaks:
- 3D audio recording
- An iris scanner
- An in-screen scanner
Multiple rumor means that the Nokia 9 may have a fingerprint scanner constructed into the display, and as that is now turning into a standard characteristic it would not be a shock.
Elsewhere, in keeping with one supply the Nokia 9 may have each an iris scanner and a fingerprint scanner, very similar to the Galaxy S9.
The identical – nameless and unproven – supply claims that it'll have OZO audio enhancements. It is a Nokia tech which creates a encompass sound impact once you’re recording audio. It lets smartphones with 4 microphones document 3D audio, these with three seize spatial 360 audio, and people with two seize spatial audio.
Nonetheless, the supply doesn’t point out what number of mics the Nokia 9 has, so even when that is true we don’t understand how closely it will likely be in a position to benefit from the tech. The Nokia Eight Sirocco already has three microphones although, so the Nokia 9 will in all probability have a minimum of that.
TechRadar’s take: None of those rumors are unbelievable, although as they principally come from the identical unproven supply we wouldn’t learn an excessive amount of into them.
Nokia 9 worth
Hottest leaks:
- A roughly $560/£415/AU$735 beginning worth
- Could price extra for greater storage capacities
The most recent pricing rumor places the 64GB mannequin of the Nokia 9 at 3,699 yuan (roughly $560/£415/AU$735), whereas a 128GB model may apparently are available in at 4,199 yuan (round $635/£470/AU$835).
That is a cheaper price than a earlier rumor we would heard, with a tipster reckoning it’s going to be pretty costly at $699 within the US (round £565/AU$935) and 749 euros (roughly £640/AU$1,060). Just like the rumor above, they added that there will likely be each 64GB and 128GB fashions, however did not specify which worth that is for.
Direct conversions are hardly ever correct, so we would not depend on any of those costs being proper, and actually each of them may be speaking concerning the Nokia Eight Sirocco, which hadn't been introduced on the time.
That cellphone prices €749 / AU$1,199 (round £660, $900), so we would count on the Nokia 9 to be a minimum of that a lot and possibly extra.
TechRadar’s take: We're not bought on any of the present pricing rumors however the Nokia 9 is bound to be an costly cellphone.
- On the different finish of the size there's the Nokia 1
