HMD Global took advantage of this week to present the new Nokia 8.1, natural successor of Nokia 7.1. In addition to announcing the terminal, the company granted the occasional interview, in which, in addition to confirming the name of "Nokia 9«, he confesses to us for what reason has it been delayed. This is all that the firm has revealed about the phone and the reasons for its delay.
Nokia 9 PureView: when to meet us?
The person in charge of speaking to us about the future phone has been Britta Gerbracht, global marketing director of HMD Global in Germany. The directive has granted an interview to a German medium in which she acknowledges that indeed the Nokia 9 PureView It has been delayed longer than expected and they have a compelling reason for it.
Apparently, the development team of the phone has not finished being satisfied at any time with the results of the main camera of the smartphone -or should we say better cameras?- and, of course, that has caused more than one delay -it is a rumor that had already been commented on, in fact. According to Gerbracht, HMD Global wants to focus especially on the quality of product in their next top of the range and that happens by having to move launch dates if the product is not as round as they hope and want.
People WinFuture.de It also points out that the directive repeats the name "Nokia 9" on several occasions, thus confirming that this will indeed be the title with which the terminal is marketed when it comes to light. AND when is it going to be? Well, it is still the great unknown of this phone. The director confirms that we will see the team early 2019, but without specifying more in the calendar.
If we think about the events we have at the beginning of the year, the team could well surprise at CES 2019 (which will take place in Las Vegas practically at the beginning of January), wait for the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona (it is held at end of February) or organize your own independent press conference between these two very important technology fairs.
HMD Global can boast of having already sold 70 million Nokia phones, although not all have turned out as expected. Gerbracht admits that for example the Nokia 8 and especially the Nokia 8 Sirocco have not generated the expected sales figures. Still the focus of the company wants to put itself very especially in the top-of-the-range models or flagship, so that from next year we will see a more pronounced tendency of the firm towards this type of equipment. Nothing better than showing your intentions with the Nokia 9 PureView, don't you think?
