We are getting closer to the Nokia 9 becoming more
than vaporware. Although still without official acknowledgement from the phone
maker, a supposed Nokia 9 is said to feature a penta-camera setup that might
carry Nokia’s “PureView” branding to the next level.
Today, a new case render leak shows us a couple more
angles of the alleged Nokia 9. The renders are in line with previous case
images that we’ve seen. All renders have seven holes: enough for five cameras,
one flash, and one for optic sensors. There’s also a mic-hole just above
penta-cam setup in these new renders and previous ones.
These renders don’t actually show the front of the
device, which we’ve only seen from the supposed OnLeaks render. But with a new
set of renders in line with previous case leaks, we might be looking at the
final design of the Nokia 9. Even though we’ve seen cases have a cutout that
looks to be for a 2.5mm headphone jack, the render has only a mic-hole whose
case cutout might be confused for a headphone jack.
Back in November, a full CAD render of the Nokia 9
leaked and for all we know, these renders could be based solely on those
renders and not an actual Nokia device. In any case, a real Nokia 9 device
should be coming soon since three models were officially certified for
Bluetooth.
The Nokia 9 is believed to carry the “PureView”
branding after the company filed to trademark the name back in August. Other
rumors point to a Snapdragon 845 CPU, 8GB of RAM, a 5.9-inch QHD display with
18:9 aspect ratio, and feature an in-display fingerprint scanner.
We are likely looking at an MWC launch for the Nokia
9. It only makes sense considering Nokia’s position in Europe and that Huawei
seems to be the only phone maker that makes somewhat major announcements at CES
in the past few years.
