Nokia's next flagship smartphone is reported to feature Zeiss lens and IP67 certification

Nokia is making a grand debut in the highly crowded smartphone market early next year. The company recently confirmed its plans to re-enter an industry it pioneered and pushed at one point in time. Until that official announcement from Nokia, we have to make way with the rumours.

According to Android Soul, Nokia's next flagship smartphones will come in 5.2-inch or 5.5-inch screen sizes. The device is expected to sport Quad HD display and earlier rumours hinted at use of OLED panel. The name or codename is not known yet but the device is expected to feature Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 processor.

One of the flagship features with a Nokia device for long has been the use of Zeiss optics in the camera department. According to a new Weibo leak, the upcoming Nokia flagships will continue to use Carl Zeiss optics.

While Nokia is expected to announce its products at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, the choice of Snapdragon 820 will look outdated at that point. OnePlus 3T and Google Pixel, the latest Android smartphones are both powered by Snapdragon 821 processor. Another thing worth noting here is that Qualcomm has already announced Snapdragon 835 based on 10nm FinFet process which should offer better efficiency and performance.

The leak also suggests that the device will be IP67 certified, offering water-resistant and dust proof casing. Nokia has been rumoured to be working two flagships and a midrange device for its comeback. The mid-range device dubbed Nokia D1C is reported to feature Nokia's proprietary polycarbonate design with exciting range of colour options.

The smartphones are expected to arrive at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona in 2017. Nokia's comeback devices could well bring the lost charm in the smartphone world.
