HMD Global to launch a new Nokia phone today

HMD Global will hold an event in the US today to unveil new Nokia smartphone/s, the company announced in a tweet. The event will be held at 9 AM EST (7:30 PM IST).

As of now, there is no word on what phones HMD Global will launch. Rumours, however, suggest the company may showcase one of the long-awaited phones such as Nokia 9.3 PureView. HMD Global may also launch a phone that may remain exclusive to the US market for some time.

Nokia 9.3 PureView is said to be HMD Global's 2020 flagship smartphone. The phone was expected to launch in an August-October timeline. Evidently, it has not happened yet. A recent rumour claimed the phone could see the light of the day in November.

The supposed flagship Nokia 9.3 PureView is said to run on Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 865 processor. The phone is likely to come with an OLED panel with up to 120Hz refresh rate.

The biggest feature of Nokia 9.3 PureView is likely to be its camera prowess. Rumours claim the phone will offer a 108-megapixel primary sensor and 64-megapixel secondary sensor. The phone will also be capable of shooting 8K videos. Just like older premium Nokia phones, it would come with Zeiss optics.

Interestingly, HMD Global is already said to be working on another premium handset, dubbed as Nokia 10 PureView. Unlike the Nokia 9.3, the phone could come with better specifications such as Qualcomm Snapdragon 875 processor. It is also said to have a multi-lens PureView camera technology with Zeiss optics. The phone, however, could launch in the second half of the next year.
