New Nokia smartphone hits FCC: Is it another low-end champ?

The accompanying “Beholder” text in Blass’s tweet is possibly HMD Global’s codename for the Nokia 9. In Dungeons & Dragons lore, a Beholder is a many-eyed demon; it’s likely a reference to the cameras rear camera design. “HNY,” meanwhile, simply means Happy New Year.

We’ve now seen Nokia 9 leaks from @OnLeaks, @rquandt, and other sources, the majority of which have pointed to the same design as seen above. We’re pretty confident the Nokia 9 is in development and will look much like the recent @evleaks render when it’s released around the end of next month.
