Recently, there has been a spate of leaks surrounding Nokia's upcoming flagship Nokia 9 as well as the dual camera phone Nokia 8 as HMD Global is prepping their launch. Both the Nokia 8 and Nokia 9 are rumoured to feature dual rear camera, Snapdragon 835 processor and Android 7.1.1 Nougat OS.
With Nokia making its grand comeback with the release of Nokia 3, Nokia 5 and Nokia 6 in February, we can expect HMD Global to rev-up the sales numbers with its two most-anticipated premium handsets, Nokia 8 and Nokia 9. And, Nokia 2 will cover the entry-level segment.
