Along with that it will apparently have a sapphire glass display and a stainless steel frame. More recent leaks suggest the Snapdragon 775 processor, new for 2021, is going to be the chipset that powers the Nokia 10 (or whatever it's called). However, the Snapdragon 865 has been available for ages now, and we're now hearing that the Nokia 10 has been further delayed so that it can include the Snapdragon 888. The cancelling of MWC 2020 made that somewhat of a moot point, though. We'd also heard that Nokia's next flagship wouldn't be shown at MWC 2020, so that it could have the high-end Snapdragon 865 processor, as the Nokia 9 had a slightly outdated chipset and it suffered as a result. That would make sense, especially now that many phones are 5G - including the company's own Nokia 8.3 5G. We've heard the successor to the Nokia 9 PureView could be a 5G handset. Nokia 10 / Nokia 9.3 leaks, rumors and news The name 'Nokia 10' seems somewhat likely as, in October 2020, an official Nokia document leaked that name-dropped the phone, though the X60 also has a lot of weight behind it given that's more in line with the brand's current naming conventions. Nokia 10 was posited as a name since it's a step up from Nokia 9, and the 9.-something names all imply the phone will be a small step up from the 9 PureView, rather than a whole new thing. We've even heard it referred to as the Nokia 9.3, so take your pick. Then again, we've also heard Nokia could skip 9.1 and leap straight to 9.2, a name possibly chosen to make up for the fact it's been delayed so long. This name would suggest the new flagship is just a slightly improved version of the 9 PureView, not an entirely new device. There's also the Nokia 9.1, which makes sense in a way, because when the company releases updated smartphones it uses a decimal system – the Nokia 7.1 was succeeded by the Nokia 7.2, for example. Given that the brand has launched new G, C and X ranges, there's a good chance that the Nokia 10 will have a letter ahead of its number, and leaks specifically point to a Nokia X60 - along possibly with a Nokia X60 Pro. However, as noted above we've heard a few different names that the brand could use for its new smartphone. We're calling the new smartphone the Nokia 10, because its predecessor was the Nokia 9.

Saying that, unless it's a huge upgrade on the older phone we wouldn't expect it to cost a whole lot more. Regarding price, the Nokia 9 PureView launched for $699 / £549 / AU$980, and we'd expect a new 'better' phone to cost at least that much, if not more. Note that the phone could launch as the Nokia 10, but as noted we've also heard that we might see the Nokia X60, Nokia 9.2 or Nokia 9.3, an improved version of the Nokia 9 PureView that was launched at MWC 2019. Previous release date rumors have been and gone, and these ones have just joined the growing pile of wrong leaks. That was easy to believe though, since it was in line with another release date rumor which suggested the phone had slipped into the second half of 2021. The latest release date rumor points to the Nokia 10 (or Nokia X60 as it might be called) launching before November 11 2021, which very clearly didn't come about, since we're in 2022 and there's still not a sniff of the mobile.
