Nokia seems to be in a bit of hot water after the delay of the Nokia 9.2 PureView. The phone is rumored to be launched much later, this year. But while the release of the device has been delayed, the company may be looking at launching a new ‘Originals’ device, sometime this month.
Just yesterday, the Chief Product Officer of HMD Global (parent company of Nokia), Juho Sarvikas tweeted out an image of a pair of Adidas Originals. Why is this important? Well, the caption to the tweet may hold a few more answers. In the caption, he says, “This is the 4th year I buy new shoes in anticipation of CES and MWC and it looks like this will be the best year yet! Found this stunning pair of limited edition Adidas Originals. This can only mean that we should launch a new Nokia Original, @nokiamobile #ChineseNewYear”. The cheeky tweet draws parallels between the Adidas Originals and Nokia’s Originals. This could mean that Nokia may release one of their older phones, in a revamped avatar. Just like they’ve done before.

Juho also added the Chinese New Year hashtag. The Asian festival falls on the 25th of January and that is the date we could be seeing one of Nokia’s Original phones to be making an appearance. As of now, there is no official word on what exactly the Nokia original will look like but stay tuned to Digit as we will definitely be following up on this story.
