A set of renders have appeared of the Nokia 9 which look very official in nature, although as per usual they come via sources out of China and on Twitter. The renders purport to show the design of the handset which, true to the previous rumours, looks very much like an enlarged Nokia 8 and features a colossal edge-to-edge display panel.
On the rear panel the phone features a fingerprint reader nested just underneath the dual-sensor Carl Zeiss branded camera array - it's a much more sensible placement than Samsung's recent Galaxy S8 and Note 8 flagships where the scanner perches just to the side of the camera, making it decidedly non-ambidextrous in operation.
The rear panel is made from curved glass, just like the front, while the fascia houses an AMOLED display. However, while AMD/Nokia reps have said the Nokia 9 will be bigger, a set of GFXBench results claims a 5.3in diagonal identical to the Nokia 8. Frankly we're more inclined to believe Nokia's word at this point.
The camera is expected to be the same as the Nokia 8, a pair of IMX 258 sensors in both monochrome and RGB flavours, while the beating heart is supposedly also a Snapdragon 835 (again, Nokia 8 hardware being re-used).
Indeed, the main differences appear to be primarily design, the bigger size, an alleged €750 price tag, and IP68 water and dust resistance; which was absent from the Nokia 8.
