Since HMD Global has had a worldwide license to the Nokia brand name, it has been focusing on relatively inexpensive smartphones with a number of premium features. For its flagship next year, the company has planned the Nokia 9: a phone with no less than five camera sensors on the back and a fingerprint scanner under the display.

A photo that Evan Blass, who regularly posts the first smartphone renders online, showed on his Twitter account, shows an unannounced Nokia device. This is the Nokia 9, a smartphone with five cameras placed in striking order. The render also shows that the phone gets a fingerprint scanner under the screen.

It’s not sure what kind of cameras it is. The Nokia 9 will probably have lenses, each with its own zoom level, so that the cameras can zoom in properly. The fact that the phone also has a fingerprint scanner under the screen is a great achievement, because Nokia will be the third manufacturer to do so. Earlier, the OnePlus 6T and Huawei Mate 20 Pro came on the market with this feature.

Quickly available

The Nokia 9 will probably be presented soon. HMD hinted earlier that the phone will be unveiled early in the year and rumours have been going around for months. The fact that a render has now also been published online, indicates that the release is indeed imminent. How expensive the device will be is not certain, although we can assume that the device will be relatively expensive for a Nokia device.

With previous phones, the company focused mainly on the lower and middle segment of the market. Now, however, it is slowly also making movements towards the consumer who likes more expensive appliances. For example, the Nokia 8 Sirocco was a real premium phone of the company and the Nokia 9 will be a successor to it. It is likely that the price will be between 700 and 800 euros.
