Though tech companies like to keep their new devices under wraps until official release, accidental/intentional leaks keep the rumour mills buzzing all throughout building up the anticipation.
Well, something similar happened recently, when a video uploaded to Vimeo gave us a peek into two new Nokia-branded smartphones. The video clip, as first reported by noted leaker Evan Blass on his Twitter account, was posted on Vimeo by George Chevalier Lewis, who was the head of brand photography at Nokia until December 2014 and now works with HMD.
What interests me about this video <https://t.co/eSzd0XHvrt> is that it shows 4 smartphones, but Nokia only sells 3 (none w dual lens). pic.twitter.com/RKStSoSgM5

As Blass notes, HMD currently has three Nokia branded smartphones in the market and the video above shows four, which means, a new Nokia model is certainly in the reckoning. More interestingly, while Nokia 3 and 5 can be clearly seen in the clip, the third one's isn't Nokia 6 that makes for not one but two new devices.
One of the devices even sports a dual camera, which suggests that it could be the long-awaited flagship-class Nokia 9. The other one, we are speculating to be Nokia 7 or 8 as per the series. And as Blass notes, "the fact that the video was quietly removed after gaining some exposure only adds to the likelihood that it features real, unannounced hardware."
