The flagship device has been detailed to support IP68 water and dust resistance and may include an iris scanner. The Nokia 9 could be priced around €749 (approximately Rs 57,500) when it becomes available later this year.

The Nokia 2, on the other hand, will be the entry-level smartphone in HMD Global's Android smartphone lineup. The handset is expected to sport a 5-inch HD display and use Qualcomm's Snapdragon 212 mobile chipset. The handset will feature 1GB of RAM, 16GB storage and will support dual-SIM connectivity. It is likely to feature an 8MP rear camera and a 5MP front camera.
