and f/2.0 and f/2.4 apertures. Suddenly the 5Mp
selfie camera sounds a lot more exciting.
The camera is now known to be a key selling
point for the upcoming smartphone, with HMD
Global confirming that Nokia’s collaboration with
Zeiss optics is back on. Zeiss is reportedly “rekindling
its commitment to set new imaging standards for
Nokia customers”.
GSMArena has found references to new
photography features not found in a current Nokia
Android phone in updated code for the Nokia 5. It
suggests that the Nokia 9 will indeed have a dual-
lens camera, referring specifically to a wide-angle
photography option and 2x telephoto zoom.
The Nokia 9 may additionally feature an iris
scanner and fingerprint scanner, and is said to have
an extra 2GB of RAM over the Nokia 8. It will likely
feature IP54 waterproofing.
Also new in the Nokia 8 is 360-degree Ozo
audio recording, which we’re sure will also make
its way to the Nokia 9.
