If you were hoping that companies such as HMD will be keeping their prices somewhat reasonable, you might be disappointed to learn that might not happen. According to a tweet by Nokia Anew (via Nokiamob), it seems that HMD’s next Nokia flagship smartphone could cost around $1,000.

This is a huge leap when you consider that the most expensive Nokia handset at the moment is around $700, so the question is whether or not HMD will be able to justify its price tag. However according to the reports, they could as the Nokia 9 (which is said to be the next flagship) could integrate Light’s camera technology which means that it should in theory be a powerhouse when it comes to photography.
Of course these are just rumors so they’re probably best taken with a grain of salt for now, but what do you guys think? Should OEMs start lowering their prices to better compete against China, or do you think there is still a market for $1,000 phones?
