August 22, 2024 – HMD News dropped a bombshell yesterday, August 21st, unveiling plans by HMD Corporation to unleash a fresh smartphone tailored for the mid-range segment, its aesthetic blueprint drawn from the iconic Nokia N9. This latest development marks the potential second “retro-inspired” rendition of the Nokia N9 by HMD, following the successful footsteps of the HMD Skyline.
Contrary to early whispers about the HMD Hyper, the newly leaked renders showcase a device donning verdant green and mysterious purple hues, with a distinctive camera LED configuration that sets it apart from its rumored predecessor.
Echoing HMD Global’s recent announcement of its foray into the Chinese market on August 17th, the company has established a new presence on Weibo, the popular Chinese microblogging platform, under the handle “HMD Tech,” officially recognized as their authorized account, operating independently from the established “Nokia Mobile” page. This strategic move signals HMD’s commitment to engaging with Chinese consumers directly and fostering a distinct brand identity within the vibrant tech landscape.
