But the company is not stopping there. They have announced that they are partnering up with Zeiss for its smartphones camera. HMD Global shared its excitement saying it's looking "to set new imaging standards within the smartphone industry."

Zeiss posted a tweet saying that they "look forward to an exciting journey into the future of smartphone imaging." Interestingly, the tweet features a short video which indicates that the two companies might be working on a dual camera setup, rumored to debut in Nokia 9, the company's flagship.

This isn't the first that these companies are working together. We saw Zeiss optics on the Nokia 808 PureView and Lumia 1020 and countless other Nokia phones in the past.

Recent rumors have suggested that the Nokia 9 will have a 5.5-inch QHD OLED screen, 6GB of RAM, and 64GB or 128GB of internal storage. Other features should include 3,800 mAh battery with support for Qualcomm Quick Charge 4, fingerprint sensor, and iris scanner. The phone should also have IP68 certification water resistance.
