Nokia 9 reported to include in-display fingerprint sensor

The forthcoming Nokia 9 flagship smartphone will include an in-display fingerprint sensor, according to a “trusted source” of Nokiapoweruser.

Nokiapoweruser reports that the same Chinese source had previously leaked the Nokia 6’s colours and inclusion of the Penta-Lens Camera. The source also says that HMD Global, which owns Nokia, is considering including a “notch” on the otherwise all-display front of the device.

The Nokia 9 is expected to launch at an undetermined point later this year, and TechRadar reports it will feature a Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 chipset, up to 8GB of RAM, and possibly a 22MP dual-lens camera from Carl Zeiss on the back.

KGI analyst Ming-Chi Kuo recently suggested that the Samsung Galaxy Note 9 will not have an in-display fingerprint sensor. Several companies displayed under-display fingerprint technology at the recent Mobile World Congress, but the Vivo X20 Plus UD is still the only phone on the market with the technology for now.
