The plot thickens regarding the eagerly-anticipated Nokia 10 and its
alleged penta-camera setup. To be clear, beyond a leaked Snapdragon 845
future device list and a few crude schematics,
at this point, no concrete evidence has been brought forward to prove
HMD is even working on a Nokia 10, let alone one with a revolutionary
camera.
That being said, however, the various bits and pieces do seem to be
aligning suspiciously well, forming an overall picture. The latest
development comes in the form of a rather detailed sketch of the back
side of the alleged Nokia 10. Its source is an industry insider,
apparently basing the drawing on information, as well as an interesting ZEISS patent for a mobile multi-lens camera solution.
ZEISS multi-lens mobile camera technology
As described by the paper, the technology employs an array of
additional lenses (7), with different focal lengths, mounted on a
rotating lens base (10), which sits between the camera sensor (9) and a
normal fixed lens (6).
According to the sketch artist, this setup is placed within the round
camera module on the back, with the lenses themselves rotating around
and repositioning above the main camera in the middle of the module. The
Nokia 10 is also said to feature a secondary camera, on the very top of
said module. Its supplementary features (wider field of view, bokeh,
etc.) are still unclear.
As for the rest of the Nokia 10 hardware, as previously mentioned, it
will likely be powered by a Snapdragon 845 chipset and could feature an
18:9 display. Design-wise, the source claims it will share many of the
traits of the Nokia 9 - also unannounced. Most notably, a 3D glass back and front.
The device featured on the sketch on the right of the Nokia 10 does match up with earlier back plate and case leaks attributed to the Nokia 9, giving even more merit to the insider info.
Sources suggest the Nokia 10 could arrive as early as IFA 2018 in
Berlin this September. Meaning, there is still some waiting to be done
and likely more info on the horizon. Even so, there might very well be a
Nokia 7 Plus to look forward to at MWC 2018 in just a few days.
