Flagship-grade high-res OLED screen with HDR video support

Uses last year's Snapdragon flagship chipset

The Nokia 9 has the power to shoot great photos, but to get them - you need to make peace with some occasional hiccups and know your RAW file processing to get the stunning results that were promised and shown at launch. But here's the thing - this...

Nokia 9 PureView

The Nokia 9 PureView could be the right smartphone for shutterbugs, but there are better options for everyone else.

Unique camera abilities. Android One guarantees multi-year updates. Attractive design.

In-display fingerprint sensor doesn't work well. Subpar battery life. No microSD slot for photography enthusiasts.

There are many things to like about the Nokia 9 PureView. It has a speedy processor, solid software, and an attractive design. But the PureView is a phone best suited for those who are drawn to its unique camera system. For most people, the slightly...

Nokia 9 PureView Review

The Nokia 9 is probably the most anticipated smartphone in the brand's Android era. The reason for that is only one: the unique rear camera setup that includes not three, not even four, but five cameras!

High-resolution display; 128GB storage

Unreliable and frustrating fingerprint sensor and face unlock; Slow and unstable camera software; Lack of variety in camera lenses; Mediocre battery life; A Snapdragon 845 from 2018 in a 2019 flagship; Loudspeaker sounds distorted at high volume

Nokia 9 PureView review: the camera gamble that (almost) pays off

The Nokia 9 PureView was the flagship of the new devices presented by HMD Global at MWC, and the camera setup is undoubtedly its highlight.

Hardware is rock solid ; Clean Android 9 Pie out of the box

In-display fingerprint sensors still not ready ; I expected more from the camera

The Nokia 9 PureView stands out from the crowd with its five cameras on the back promising a much improved photographic experience. For the rest, newcomer HMD Global decided to pass on the latest Qualcomm processor but this does not limit its overall...

Nokia 9 PureView Review: A 5-Camera Flagship Contender

If you're wondering if Nokia is back, the simple answer is: Yes. The Nokia 9's five-camera setup is a return to the days when Nokia was known for staking out new ground. While some kinks need to be worked out, the unique camera system is capable of...

Attractive design ; Vivid 2K display ; Pure Android Pie ; Versatile five-camera system

Below-average battery life ; Older CPU ; Spotty image quality ; Limited availability

The Nokia 9 PureView overcomes some flaws thanks to its intriguing five-camera array and vivid 5.99-inch display.

Nokia 9 PureView specs leaked in promo video (5 cameras, Snapdragon 845 and Android One)

We've known that HMD is working on a Nokia-branded smartphone with five rear cameras. But now we have a much better idea of what to expect from the upcoming thanks to a series of leaks.

HMD is expected to officially unveil the new phone in the next month or two.

Nokia 9 PureView Review: Hands on | Trusted Reviews

The Nokia 9 PureView boasts a five camera arrangement, plus wireless charging, HDR visuals and more.

The 9 PureView's camera is undoubtedly interesting but there's a question mark surrounding the price when it comes powered by last year's chipset.

Hands on: Nokia 9 PureView hands on review

Our look at the first big five-rear-camera phone

Takes high-quality photos ; Low price for a flagship ; In-display fingerprint scanner

Doesn't have the latest power ; No headphone jack

The new Nokia 9 PureView is a commitment to a single idea: with five lenses taking one HDR photo, you can add the most detail ever to regular photos. With an otherwise respectable, but not impressive list of specs, Nokia is going after mobile photo...
