HMD Global has been concentrating on budget and mid-range smartphones under the Nokia brand lately. However, recent leaks indicate that the company might be planning to make a comeback in the flagship market with a new device known as the HMD Moon Knight.
Specifications Overview
According to a leak shared by @smashx_60 on platform X, the Moon Knight (model TA-1691) is anticipated to have a P-OLED display boasting FHD+ resolution and a 144Hz refresh rate, although the exact dimensions of the screen are still unclear. The device is likely to be equipped with the Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 chipset. While this chipset isn't the highest-tier option from Qualcomm, it delivers performance comparable to last year's flagship models, such as the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 and Snapdragon 8 Gen 2. Unfortunately, the leak did not provide any information about RAM or storage options.
Unique Features
A notable feature is the potential inclusion of POGO pins, suggesting a modular design akin to the HMD Fusion, which could allow for attachments like cases that offer extra functionalities. Additionally, the phone is expected to come with dual speakers and an aluminum frame.
Camera and Design Insights
Regarding the camera system, it is rumored to have a quad-camera setup, with design elements possibly inspired by the Nokia Lumia series. Nevertheless, further details are still scarce, and we will have to wait for additional information and renders to emerge soon.
In related news, HMD Global is gearing up to launch the HMD Aura 2, which will be the next iteration of the budget-friendly Aura. Leaked information highlights significant enhancements, including a larger 6.56-inch LCD display with a 90Hz refresh rate, a dual-camera configuration (13MP + 0.8MP), an upgraded 8MP front-facing camera, and a more robust UNISOC T603 processor paired with 4GB of RAM and storage options reaching up to 128GB.
