Distinctive Design: HMD Global’s Latest Smartphone Showcases Rectangular Camera Island in Leaked Render
In September of last year, HMD Global had tantalizingly announced its intentions to venture into the smartphone market with a dedicated line of devices. While the exact nomenclature and release date of this upcoming smartphone remain undisclosed, an alleged marketing render has emerged, offering a sneak peek into the yet-to-be-unveiled HMD handset. The render showcases the rear camera module and design of this mysterious smartphone, hinting at a distinctive cyan colorway and featuring a dual rear camera unit.
Suomimobiili, a Finnish source, shared renders of the anticipated HMD Global smartphone, shedding light on its potential aesthetics. The cyan hue dominates the visual, with a woman depicted sitting over the smartphone, bearing the HMD branding on the rear.
The device is equipped with a dual rear camera setup complemented by an LED flash, arranged within a rectangular-shaped camera bump. Notably, the text within the camera island reveals a powerful 108-megapixel primary rear sensor with optical image stabilization (OIS) support.
The overall presentation suggests the use of a plastic panel, aligning with previous leaks and speculations surrounding the device’s design. As the anticipation builds, these glimpses of the HMD smartphone offer enthusiasts a taste of what may lie ahead in HMD Global’s foray into the competitive smartphone landscape.
The image was reportedly spotted on Nokia’s official website. However, the URL of the page showed a 404 error at the time of writing.,
Earlier this month, another leaked render offered us a first look at the display of the purported HMD phone. It indicated a black colourway for the handset. It is expected to carry the codename N159V. However, details about the name of the phone and its launch date are unknown at this moment.
Jean-Francois Baril, CEO of HMD Global, announced in September that the company will be expanding its portfolio with a new HMD brand. The new brand will co-exist alongside Nokia handsets. HMD Global launched its first phone — the Nokia 6 in 2017.
