Besides the new smartphones, HMD may also unveil new accessories which include audio accessories. According to PhoneArena’s report, we may be getting a fitness tracker as well. Nokia brand has undoubtedly lost some space in 2019 after the spectacular rise in 2018. That was due to the intense competition in the mid-range segment, where Nokia is focusing. The company has been lacking a proper flagship, but this may change with the upcoming Nokia 9.2.
Some rumors suggest that we won’t see a flagship from Nokia at MWC, but it will eventually launch in the first half of 2020. The Nokia 9.2 will drop the fancy light technology in favor of the conventional camera setup. It will boast Snapdragon 865 and won’t be too expensive like other flagships.
