Nokia recently launched its first-ever 5G smartphone, dubbed the Nokia 8.3 5G. Alongside the Nokia 8.3, the brand also unveiled a bunch of other smartphones, including the Nokia 5.3 and Nokia 1.3 to name a few. Recently, we received a report which suggested that HMD Global might be planning to launch more Snapdragon 765-based smartphones in the coming times as the cost of the flagship Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 processor is relatively high. That, however, does not appear to be the case for long. A new report has now popped up on the internet, which suggests that the Nokia 9.2 or the Nokia 9.3 Pureview smartphone is still in the works and is likely to launch in 2020 itself. However, the launch date of the device may be delayed from mid-2020 to late H2, 2020. The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has also had a severe impact on the supply chain, so the report holds a good amount of weight.

Nokia 9.2: Launch Date Might be Delayed

As per a report from NokiaPowerUser, HMD Global might launch the Nokia 9.2 (or 9.3) PureView smartphone by the end of 2020 and is certainly not going to do it anytime soon. The H1 2020 launch timeline has reportedly been readjusted for several reasons. Nevertheless, the source has a separate page where it has mentioned the leaked specifcations of the Nokia 9.2 PureView smartphone.
