To be more precise, the company may schedule the launch of Nokia 9 PureView in the last week of January, according to Nokia anew – a tipster noted for several leaks around Nokia devices. The Twitter user has further shared a render of the handset with an 18:9 aspect ratio display with bezels on either side, which is line with the previously leaked information. In replies to other Twitter users, the tipster has said the handset will have a 6-inch display and will be the only flagship Nokia phone till autumn at least. However, while it’s being called a flagship, the handset will not run Snapdragon 855 SoC, the Twitter account claims, meaning no 5G support. We can expect the handset to be powered by the Snapdragon 845 SoC instead.

Apart from this, a whopping 4,150mAh battery with fast charging battery is rumoured to fuel the handset. Furthermore, it could come running stock-Android 9 Pie out of the box and employ a 3.5mm headphone jack for audiophiles.

The price and availability of the Nokia 9 PureView will be announced if and when HMD Global plans to launch it.
