Although performance scores are on the high side, the device and its SoC are only considered good for a 2018 flagship, given that smartphones studded with the SD 855 with better performance will be flooding the market in a few days time. That notwithstanding, the device still stands a chance against the likes of the LG G8 ThinQ, Galaxy s9 and Note 9 and the Mate 20 from Huawei.
The Nokia 9 claim to fame is its five rear camera lenses, plus additional sensor and flash units amounting to seven sensors arranged in a ring format. Available renders also suggest the device has no rear fingerprint sensor, and that means it’s going to be placed under the display, something that is fast becoming mainstream even for budget smartphones.
Early leaks suggest the device will pack a 5.9-inch display with an 18:9 aspect ratio, while FCC document has it that the device will feature dual-band 802.11a/b/g/n/ac Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, LTE, NFC, and support for ANT+.
