The [Nokia](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nokia-c12) N9 smartphone has finally been unveiled by the [Finnish company](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nokia-design-archives).

Nokia's Windows phone was previously just an early concept, but now the N9 phone has come into reality. This will be the company's first MeeGo (Linux-based operating system) device and it sports a 3.9-inch AMOLED screen, 16GB/64GB on-board memory and 1GB RAM. There's also going to be an 8-megapixel camera and its battery life will last up to 50 hours with music and 4.5 hours with video. All of this will be wrapped in a vibrant [polycarbonate shell](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/noka-7610-5g).

So far, the Nokia N9 looks promising in terms of design and specs. How well it will perform remains to be seen. Look for this to come out later this year.
