Calling on Google Hangouts now works on Firefox again

The Nokia 9 got leaked a few days ago supposedly with a 5-megapixel front camera. But now, GSMArena reports there will actually be a dual camera setup for this phone’s front shooter. The FCC listing has a Chicony CKACE16 module, which according to the manufacturer’s site is a dual camera module. The camera comes with an f/2.0 aperture for one of the modules, the other has f/2.4 lens. The f/2.0 supports 1080p video. It also comes with autofocus. No other details about the lens, though. But we should hear more once HMD Global officially launches the phone.
