Frandroid, a french publication claims that it has in its possession the prototype of the HMD's flagship smartphone, the Nokia 9.
The report reveals that the device will be powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 processor with 4GB of RAM. Apart from that, Frandroid shares that it will have a 5.3-inch WQHD display with 2560x1440 resolution. The article further reveals a 64 GB internal storage.
