      1. Implement Pureview HD+
      2. Better cameras for software optimization only
      3. LCD display like the LG G7, but better
      4. Bigger battery, but don't have to be too huge like 4000mah or more.
      5. More RAM
      6. Better GPU and CPU for smoother experience
      7. Improve the thermal cooling from the Nokia 8 (2017)
      8. Dual speaker powered by: JBL, not Dolby Atmos.
      9. Better OZO audio quality.

There's a reason photographers look for the highest signal-to-noise ratio there is; noise is destructive and unwanted. And yes, that includes very low levels of noise, which usually still need to be edited out in post if your image has any larger uniform spaces (such as the sky).

          Walter C. Dornez, 30 Aug 2018Really? I’ve heard it’s coming in September That's the nature of rumours; nothing is verified, and nobody knows for sure.

          We haven't seen any actual pictures of a Nokia 9 prototype though, and the intensity in rumours that usually happen prior to a release is non-existent. I'd say it'll be a while yet before the Nokia 9 launch.

            Sadly, manufacturers don't offer controls for image processing. Although some offer RAW and some implementations also allowed the user to tweak sharpness and other parameters but it seems they died quickly as most won't bother digging through settings.

            I like to have at least an option to tweak noise suppression at times, for photos that I want to edit on my PC.

              If nokia does launch a phone, it will surprise every single person; unlike samsung which deliberately 'sponsors' the leaks for several months to build hype!

                          Anonymous, 29 Aug 2018Because Nokia is dead as a phone brand.LOL.. Nokia is on a meteoric rise.. They are already the TOP 10 smartphone producer after only 1 and a half year beating HTC, Sony and others.. Please update your brain

                            Mi7even, 29 Aug 2018well , not when that innovation takes noisy pictures :" to ... moreIn photography, noise is part of a great image
                            You know why?? Because it proves that the image was truly taken with a camera
                            The additional noise adds up to more retained details, and as the rule of photography says, it's always easier to remove details than to add them

                                Anonymous, 30 Aug 2018Maybe Mate 20 Pro... if not P30 Pro next year will get it.It would be a considerable downgrade if they use a 1/2" sensor, as opposed to 1/1.7" of the P20 Pro, but hey, anything is possible though

During the time when Nokia reigned there were only a handful of manufacturers and none from China due to the technology being new at the time. But times have changed. The future belongs to Chinese manufacturers, just as happened before with laptops.

Look over at NokiaPowerUser or NokiaMob for details on the Nokia 9. I just don't think it's expected already at IFA, as it's supposed to be an end of the year release.
