Nokia 9: What we know so far
The much anticipated Nokia 9 is said to flaunt metallic body on the back with IP68 water-and-dust resistant certification. On the front, it will sport a 5.5-inch QHD (1560x1440p) OLED screen having pixel density of more than 540 ppi (pixels per inch).
As far as security features are concerned, Nokia 9, in addition to standard fingerprint sensor, is said to boast Iris scanner integrated with front camera, similar to the recently launched Samsung Galaxy S8 series.
Besides the premium build quality, Nokia 9's high light will be its camera hardware. It is said to house Carl Zeiss-based 22MP dual-lens primary camera on the back and an equally impressive 12MP front snapper with FFC (Flat-Field Correction) system, which helps in capturing high quality in digital images. With FCC, the distortion in 2-D images that are caused by variations in the pixel-to-pixel sensitivity of the detector or by distortions in the optical path can be removed.
