Soon after HMD Global announced the Nokia 8 earlier this year, a company executive confirmed the existence of the Nokia 9. If a new rumor out of China is to be believed, the highly anticipated flagship Nokia 9 will finally be going official soon. HMD Global, which celebrated its first birthday on December 1st, is apparently gearing up to host a big event in China on the 19th of January. Two new smartphones are expected to be unveiled at the event – Nokia 9 and the second-generation Nokia 8.

Nokia 9 and Nokia 8 (2018): Features and Specifications
The Nokia 9, going by previous leaks, will feature a 5.5-inch display with Quad HD resolution. Nokia 8 (2018), on the other hand, is rumored to come with a bezel-less 18:9 display. Both the smartphones will be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 chipset under the hood, which is definitely a little disappointing. Some of the other key features that the duo will share include IP67 certification for dust and water resistance, a dual-camera setup at the rear, and USB Type-C audio. That’s right, both the Nokia 9 and Nokia 8 (2018) will not include a 3.5mm headphone jack. The two smartphones will also be customized for the Chinese market, so there is a good chance that the global variants of the two smartphones will be announced by HMD Global at the Mobile World Congress 2018 in February. Rest of the specifications remain a mystery at this point but if HMD does indeed have plans of announcing the two flagship smartphones next month, we expect more leaks to pour in soon.
