With five cameras on the back, the Nokia 9 PureView will be a headline grabber from the moment its released! The Penta-lens camera module is certainly the PureView's Unique Selling Point and will include an autofocus module, LED flash and five camera sensors. Rumours suggest the sensors will consist of RGB, monochrome, telephoto, wide-angle angle and deep-sensing lenses, with the ability to shoot 64-megapixel resolution images for stunning clarity.
There are claims the Nokia 9 PureView will also come equipped with "Light" camera technology made by a company that specializes in “computational photography”; this promises exciting features such as lossless zoom, or 3D depth mapping. The smartphone might also be capable of shooting images through all the five sensors at the same time and being able to capture 10 times more light in low-light conditions.
Photographers certainly have plenty to look forward to. But what about the rest of the phone? There is speculation the Nokia 9 PureView will have a 5.99-inch AMOLED display that produces quad HD+ resolution and carries support for HDR10. A Snapdragon 845 chipset is rumoured to power the smartphone, while a big 4, 150mAh battery should keep the PureView going for hours on end.
We'll soon know what is true, and what isn't, when the phone is released in the near future. If all the rumours about the camera set up are true, the PureView will mean pure delight for photographers!

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 HMD-backed resurgence of Nokia in the smartphone market has been a real treat to watch.

Photos are amazing, screen is responsive (dont use the fingerprint scanner), photos are amazing! The single loudspeaker is garbage though, my old xperia XZ had better speakers. Maybe with future firmware updates theyll fix it. Do not regret the purchase one bit!
The Nokia 9 PureView is ambitious about mobile photography, and commendably packs five rear cameras that combine shots into a single image. But the resulting photos don't quite outclass those in pricier flagships, and the rest of the phone's features are middling, leaving it more a niche device for...
Eye-catching five-camera cluster; Decent photos for sub-flagship price; Exports to RAW DNG
Middling other features; Poor fingerprint scanner; Not a comfortable hold
