According to the report, the company started working on the Nokia A1 Plus in February this year, and the phone was targeted to launch sometime in mi-2018.

Nokia 9 is speculated to come with a larger 5.7-inch display with 18:9 aspect ratio. It could be the first smartphone from HMD Global to feature an in-display fingerprint scanner. Currently, Vivo X20 Plus UD is the only phone available in the market with this technology.
