Nokia is reportedly working on two new smartphones, Nokia 9 and Nokia 2. Nokia 9 is a high-end phone while the Nokia 2 is a budget phone. HMD global is rumored to be manufacturing Nokia 9 to compete with Apple and Samsung. Now a leaked image of Nokia 9 shows that the phone has a 3D glass built just like Samsung and also a dual-camera setup at the back.
It is highly likely that the upcoming premium smartphone will feature wireless charging. Moreover, it is rumored that Nokia 9 will come with an OLED 5.5-inch or 5.7-inch display. It is expected that the phone will ship with a price tag of €749 (Rs. 94,000). It may feature a Snapdragon 835 processor and also ship with 6GB/8GB RAM and 128GB internal storage capacity.
Aside from Nokia 9, another smartphone which will be released by HMD is Nokia 2. As mentioned above, unlike Nokia 9, it is a budget phone. The leaked images of Nokia 2 looks stunning and shows that there are no physical buttons on the front, not even a home button. Its front looks exactly like that of the new iPhone X. In leaked images, Nokia 2 is shown to have two color variants, black and white.
