File this one under maybe – European prices for the new Nokia phones have leaked ahead of Sundays announcement. And they start with a 600 price tag for the Nokia 9 PureView. Sure, it has Snapdragon 845 rather than the new 855, but it will be the first ever phone with five cameras on the back.
For comparison, the Nokia 8 Sirocco was 750 at launch and it didnt have the latest chipset either. So, well believe the 600 price when we hear it straight from Juhos mouth.
That said, the Xperia XZ4 (also S845-powered) dropped to 500 earlier today, a long way down from the launch price of 800 in October. Also, the Xiaomi Mi 9 will reportedly cost 470 in Europe and its camera is top notch (it currently tops DxOs charts for video recording).
For what its worth, the same source claims that the Sony Xperia 1 will cost 950.
Anyway, HMD is set to unveil two affordable phones as well. The Nokia 4.2 will reportedly sell for 200 and the Nokia 1 Plus at just 100 (it is an Android One phone, after all).
The 1 Plus was recently spotted in the Play Store, so it and the Nokia 9 PureView are definitely taking the stage on Sunday (the PureView was featured in teaser images). The Nokia 4.2 has been much more elusive and its not yet certain that it will appear.
