Future Nokia smartphones will feature imaging technology from optical giant Zeiss aimed at creating "new imaging standards" for smartphones, the two companies have announced.
The deal with German imaging firm Zeiss will see the optical specialists work on the camera hardware and software of future Nokia smartphones, as well as services and screen quality technology.
The well-known Finnish phone manufacturer has re-emerged following a new licencing deal on its brand with start-up HMD Global, and earlier this year launched a new version of the basic 3310 mobile phone, first released in 2000.
HMD Global chief executive Arto Nummela said the company hoped to provide a better photography "experience" as a result of the new imaging partnership.
The two companies previously worked together on Nokia's feature phones in the 2000s - including the N90, the first multi-megapixel camera phone, which launched in 2005.
The announcement follows Nokia's confirmation of the release of their first three smartphones since their return - the Nokia 3, 5, and 6 - which will begin this month.
