Nokia N9 to come at the MWC with a 1.2 GHz CPU 12 MP camera and MeeGo 1.2

With the MWC fast approaching, rumors about the MeeGo-running Nokia N9 are starting to intensify again. If the Finnish source is to be trusted one of the most hotly anticipated smartphones of this year will make its debut at the congress in less than a month.

There will also be some serious hardware under the hood. Apparently the Nokia N9 will be the first Nokia smartphone to pack a 1.2 GHz CPU. The machine-translated source mentions something about it being an Intel Atom, but we cannot imagine a way of stuffing the good old x86 Atom in a smarphone. Instead our guess is the N9 is based on the Intel Moorestown platform, which is essentially a smartphone SoC with an Intel Atom core as its heart.

Next, the Nokia N9 is supposed to have the same 12 megapixel camera as the N8. Considering the qualities of the large-sensor unit inside the Nokia Symbian^3 flagship, thats just excellent news for all cameraphone lovers. Top of the line smarphones have not been doing too great in the camera department recently, so the N9 might be the first true all in one device.

The final exciting Nokia N9 rumor is its LTE connectivity. Even the source claims that this is not confirmed yet so you need to take this with an extra pinch of salt.

There is less than four weeks remaining until the MWC kicks off so we will find if the rest of it is true pretty soon.
