HMD Sage Tipped to Be Company's Next Phone; Design, Key Features Leaked

HMD Sage could be the next smartphone from the Finnish OEM. Key details of the purported handset have surfaced online. This includes a leaked design render which suggests that the smartphone will likely be a slightly altered version of the HMD Skyline, which launched in India in September. The design of the HMD Sage also appears to be similar to the HMD Crest series, which was unveiled in the country in July this year. Several key features of the rumoured model have been tipped as well.
