HMD Global reportedly delays launch of Nokia PureView 9.2 to late 2020

The mild trypophobia-inducing penta-lens camera-enabled Nokia PureView 9.2 could be delayed to autumn 2020. The first iteration of the device, the PureView 9 packed with a Snapdragon 845, was announced at the Mobile World Congress in 2019.

It was rumoured that the PureView 9.1 was going to use the Snapdragon 855 in 2019. However, it would have been counter-productive to launch a new smartphone with an older mobile chipset in 2020. The upcoming PureView smartphone from Nokia will reportedly pack 5G connectivity enabled by the new Snapdragon 865 platform. In more Nokia news, the Twitter account said that the Nokia 7.2 was the most popular device in 2019 based on the number of devices shipped. It was followed by the PureView 9, Nokia 6.2, Nokia 7.1, Nokia 2.2, and the Nokia 4.2 at fifth.
