Twitter comes to play Speculations around the release of Nokia 9 along with a tweaked Nokia 8 version are rife ever since the world saw this Tweet from HMD Global chief product officer Hugo Sarvikaas. Currently, HMD Global runs the Nokia brand.
— Juho Sarvikas (@sarvikas) January 18, 2018 While we will have to wait until February to see if the world has been guessing right, there are solid rumors that cannot dismiss the possibility of a Nokia showdown at MWC. Given that Nokia has been tasting positive results with its flagship ideas, the Barcelonan event might just be opportune. What is Nokia up to? Once the largest maker of mobile phones, Nokia is already full to the brim with its entourage of phones that include Nokia 2, Nokia 3, Nokia 5, Nokia 6 and now Nokia 8. With such variants, Nokia at MWC 2018 is coming across as a name that is keen on upping it’s flagship line for low end phones. Another rumor mill predicts that the February event will see a 4G laced New Nokia 3310. That gives you the possibility of playing Snake at 10Mbps. For now, Twitterati have already been tweeting what they want from a new Nokia lineup.

It also asks for registration for the “house key”. The background image reveals a couple sitting inside the house with a bulb clearly seen. Speculators believe that this might even be some connected home gadget but then there is no confirmation yet. The MWC 2018 is scheduled to take place from February 26 to March 1, with announcements beginning as early as February 25. We have to wait and watch for a while to find out all the smartphones that the company will launch at the conference. Ernst and Young analyst S. Singh says that Nokia was a big brand back in the room he started buying feature phones. From that height to getting reaffirmed as a brand in the market now, Nokia has seen a lot of lows. He adds, “However, of late I feel, Nokia is ready to risk it all and up its game back again.”
