HMD Global may launch Nokia 9 on January 19.
Rumours suggest Nokia 9 are coming up almost every passing day. And now that the upcoming high-end smartphone by HMD Global has cleared FCC (Federal Communications Commission) certification it won’t be very wrong to say that the smartphone may go official very soon. However, it is worth noting that HMD Global hasn’t revealed any official details on the smartphone as of yet. To recall, Nokia 9 received 3C certification a couple of days ago.
Until now, we have seen renders, live images and some specs of the Nokia 9 surfacing online. But now, the FCC certification reveals almost all the key specs that the phone may come with. The screenshot of the specs sheet is leaked online. Going by the leaked details, Nokia 9 will come with a 5.5-inch OLED panel by LG. That being said, if the leaked specs are considered accurate enough, Nokia 9 will be the first phone by HMD Global to come with OLED screen. As of now, there are no details on the resolution and aspect ratio.
Meanwhile, an image of Nokia 9 has also surfaced online. The image shows the phone only from the front, and hints at a bezel-less display. The image has been leaked on Chinese social network site — Weibo. It reveals that — unlike the earlier rumours that suggested that smartphone may boast similar design as the Nokia 8 — Nokia 9 will see a major design change, especially from the front.
