Nokia 9 PureView is the latest and most powerful smartphone from Nokia. The device is not just said to be powerful because it host a highly powerful processor, but because it also have one of the most powerful camera set up seen on a smartphone till date.

The Nokia 9 PureView is highly original. Its five-camera array is hugely impressive and the tech behind the images could well deliver a photo quality never seen on a camera phone before. The rest of the specs are a little MoR but this is one to watch.

Five cameras; Huge detail in shots

No optical zoom; Screen tech could be better

I bought this on the 17Th March, and was hoping for so much what with the name of Nokia, even though they are using the name under liecense. I was so happy to get the phone, however this did not last long, the fingerprint sensor was non responsive , and the screen is also not very responsive and you...

The headline feature is of course the camera - and it's a pretty specialized one at that. Most users will appreciate the increased dynamic range - so you can still see detail in the dark areas of an otherwise bright scene.

Great camera (dynamic range; dramatic scenery; Options to save RAW images; depth info; Brilliant display in bright light; Ergonomic; Nice amount of RAM

Buggy fingerprint reader; Slow processing of images (camera; Display colors washed out in low light; Tinny speaker; No SD card slot; JPEGs not great in low light

The Nokia 9 PureView is clearly aimed at photography fanatics, and it’s certainly got enough distinguishing features to entice those who want pro shots without having to lug around a dedicated camera. The rest of the phone is good if not great, with a design that feels a little dated at this stage, and a processor that’s not quite on the cutting edge anymore. We won’t have to wait too long before we get to do a full review of the Nokia 9 PureView as HMD says it will be available “very soon”. Keep it locked to Stuff to find out more.

It’s always tricky to fully assess a phone early after spending just 20 minutes with it, but even harder when it’s as photo-focussed at the Nokia 9 PureView. With its design and processor lagging behind the competition, the 9 PureView is likely to stand or fall based on whether or not the photo output lives up to Nokia’s hype. If it does, this could be a popular choice for phone photographers, but if it can’t stand out then this will feel like little more than a relic of 2018.

Over the past few years, Nokia has built a reputation for its solid lineup of budget phones. This year, the company is competing against the best high-end models on the market with its first flagship, the Nokia 9 PureView ($699). The PureView is a little different than your average flagship in that it's targeted at smartphone photography enthusiasts, with a five-lens rear camera array and the ability to shoot in Raw. And while it doesn't top other flagship camera phones like the Samsung Galaxy S10e, it's one of the few US models with monochrome sensors. It's an intriguing option for hardcore smartphone photography buffs, though the Samsung Galaxy 10e and OnePlus 6T are better overall for everyone else. Design and Durability The Nokia 9 PureView stands out compared with the slew of super-sleek flagships on the market. It has fewer curved edges, and the overall look is boxy, but not in a bad way. It's a gorgeous phone with a unique design language that's sure to draw a crowd of adm...
