After coming to the smartphone market in MWC, Nokia has raised a lot of anticipation, especially since the brand promised more to come this year. However, there is some bad news: Nokia Express Music, a long awaited phone, has been pushed back to Q3!

Nokia Express Music delayed to Q3: 18MP, 3D carbon diamond shape

There is no doubt that Nokia has had quite a successful comeback, with the introduction of new phones in March at MWC. However, the brand has not revealed any phone that can be considered a flagship yet. Nokia 9 is speculated to be the flagship that Nokia will introduce to the market in June. However, amidst that, one potential flagship has been pushed back to Q3 or even further. The unfortunate phone is the Nokia Express Music.

From what we have information on, Nokia Express Music seems to be made out of metal, and it will have an almost bezel-less 5.2″ Quad HD display. One notable and unique feature is that it has a QWERTY keyboard underneath the screen, which you can slide up to use! At the top left corner of the screen will be the Express Music logo, next to an 8MP camera. The phone’s back is also uniquely designed, with 3D diamond shape patterns. At the back is also an 18MP primary camera.

For other Nokia Express Music specs, it could have a SND 835 chipset under the hood. Alongside that will be 4GB RAM and 64GB ROM. It is expected to run on the latest Android 7.0 Nougat OS. Also, there would be one special accessory going along when you purchase the phone, which is a limited edition red and black headphone. It is also decorated with diamond shapes, which matches perfectly with the phone. Sadly, all of this has been pushed back to at least Q3 this year.

Nokia Express Music delayed: Wait for Nokia 9 instead!

With Nokia Express Music delayed, Nokia 9 seems to be the only flagship in the near future for the Finnish brand. It is a shame, but that is beyond our control. What do you think of Nokia Express Music?
