The Nokia flagship you’ve all been waiting for is almost upon us… and, yes, the Nokia 9 WILL feature a dual-lens camera

Ahead of its suspected Q3 release, the Nokia 9 has been leaked online by French Bloggers. The images, of which there is quite a few, confirm a couple of things about the incoming Nokia Android flagship phone.

First, the Nokia 9 WILL feature a dual-lens camera. Word on the street suggests this will be a 2x13MP setup, complete with OIS, dual-LED flash and support for 4K video.

Second, the handset will also feature a QHD display. The screen itself, according to the leak, will be a 5.2in panel, which is rather small by today’s standards, with a QHD resolution.

Other key specs include the Snapdragon 835 chipset, 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage. The Nokia 9 – or Nokia 8, as it is also sometimes called – will feature stock Android Nougat just like the Google Pixel and will also come bundled with a pair of decent earbuds, apparently.

Wireless charging has also been confirmed too. As for the price? Expect to pay around $700 for this phone once it lands. This is an interesting price point, as it is cheaper than the Galaxy S8 and incoming iPhone 8 but a lot more expensive than Nokia’s previous releases.

Personally, I thought Nokia would go the OnePlus route and pack in tons of specs for a relatively low RRP. This doesn’t appear to be the case, however, as this handset, if the leaks are true, will retail for around the same price as the Google Pixel, which is an expensive phone.

Frandroid even managed to post some Nokia 9 camera samples as well, which you can see below:

Please keep in mind that the leaked Nokia 9 camera is almost certainly a pre-production unit, meaning nothing will be final – including the camera, which could explain the lumpy quality of the images. They’re also scaled down too.

This applies to the rest of the Nokia 9’s specs too; things could change between now and when the phone launches. Most of it should remain the same, however, as the Nokia 9 is getting very close to being official.

More news as we get it!
