Rumour has it that a Qualcomm Snapdragon 730 will underpin the Nokia 6.3, not a Snapdragon 670 or Snapdragon 675 as was previously claimed. Camera details about the upcoming mid-range smartphone have been revealed too ahead of a possible Q3 2020 release.

Earlier this month, Nokiapoweruser (NPU) claimed to have received word that the Nokia 6.3 would be running on either a Qualcomm Snapdragon 670 or Snapdragon 675 processor. Now, NPU reports that HMD Global may be planning to use the Snapdragon 730 instead.

Citing an untrusted "tip that landed in our inbox", NPU added:

the tipster has seen a Nokia 6.3 prototype powered by [a] Snapdragon 730 processor.

While unverified, NPU claims that the rest of the details that the tipster shared "look valid". Building on previous rumours of HMD Global including quad rear-facing cameras, NPU shared that the Nokia 6.3 will have a 24 MP primary rear-facing camera, a 12 MP ultra-wide-angle sensor, a 2 MP depth sensor and a macro sensor. Additionally, NPU reports that HMD Global has integrated the device's fingerprint sensor within its power button, as Sony did with older Xperia handsets.

Contradictally, NPU opines that this prototype could be the 4G version of the Nokia 7.3. Regardless, HMD Global is expected to launch the Nokia 6.3, 7.3 and 9.3 PureView simultaneously in Q3 2020.
