Nokia has long been known for innovating mobile photography. Their latest concept takes things to new heights – literally. According to sources, Nokia is secretly developing the Drone Camera Phone, a device with an integrated foldable mini-drone.

Display and Design

The Drone Camera Phone is said to feature a 6.5-inch OLED display with a pop-up front camera. When unfolded, the dual motorized rotors and cameras extend from the top and bottom of the phone.

Camera and Drone Integration

This is where things get truly futuristic. The foldout drone houses two 1-inch image sensors capable of 50X digital zoom. These can be manually controlled from the phone’s camera app for aerial selfies and landscape shots. Advanced obstacle avoidance allows semi-autonomous flight around objects.

Performance and Battery

Under the hood, a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor and 12GB RAM keep things smoothly flying. A massive 5000mAh battery promises over 1 hour of flying time on a single charge, with 65W wired charging.

Connectivity and Controls

The Drone connects to the phone via WiFi for a 1080p video feed. An app allows gesture controls as well as a virtual joystick. 5G support ensures low-latency maneuvers.

Pricing and Availability

While still in development, this is one concept that could shake up the industry. With top-tier specs and imaging prowess, the Drone Camera Phone will likely retail for around $1000. Nokia aims for a 2024 launch if testing goes well. Only time will tell if they can truly make mobile photography take flight.
