While we are waiting for the alleged Nokia 9 to show
up at MWC 2018 in Barcelona, the first rumors about Nokia 10 have already
started to surface. The handset sports a revolver-like camera which is composed of six
sensors in a circular configuration. At the center of the circle, there seems
to be a LED flash, while each of the sensors seems to be coupled with a
secondary flash LED.
Under the incredible camera setup of the Nokia 10,
there is a fingerprint reader which makes us think that it will be not embedded
in the display through the latest chip announced by Synaptics. Note that this
is not an official image and we cannot guarantee its authenticity. In fact, it
would really be hard to get a design like this in a commercial smartphone, but
it’s definitely worth checking out the schematics of such a design.
If such a design exists, then the lens should
obviously be co-developed with Zeiss, as the company has collaborated with
Zeiss since the age of feature phones and it has renewed the cooperation in the
second half of 2017. Other rumored specs of the alleged Nokia 10 include the
presence of an 18:9 display with narrow bezels, just like most of the most
important flagships launched in the last year.
Under the hood, the phone is expected to feature an
octa-core Snapdragon 845 SoC, which is the most powerful mobile chip launched
by Qualcomm. It is composed of 8x Kryo 385 CPUs running at a max frequency of
2.8 GHz and an Adreno 630 GPU. It also has a dedicated module for artificial
intelligence and machine learning, and it includes a Qualcomm Snapdragon X20
LTE modem which can reach a max download speed of 2.2 Gbps.
