Nokia 9 PureView a 5-camera beast

HMD Global exposed the Nokia 9 PureView former this week during the MWC 19 trade show. Its stand-out feature is a five-camera arrangement on the back developed in partnership with Zeiss and Light. Each camera captures 12MP images at f/1.8. With two color sensors and three monochrome sensors working jointly, HMD claims the PureView can take pictures with more precise exposure and a deeper degree of depth. This gives it the control to adjust bokeh blur on the fly with more granularity than other phones can create. All five cameras snap at the equal time and Light’s computational photography algorithms merge the images into a single picture.

Aside from the camera itself, the phone includes powerful suppression software thanks to a partnership with Adobe Lightroom. Images are stored in the uncompressed RAW format, and this gives Nokia 9 owners far more liberty to make adjustments and edits after the image has been captured.

The phone features an anodized aluminum casing and Gorilla Glass front and back. The pOLED screen measures 5.99 inches and has Quad HD+ resolution in an 18:9 aspect ratio. A fingerprint reader is embedded beneath the display glass. The phone is power-driven by Qualcomm’s 2018 premium chip, the Snapdragon 845, and ships with 6 GB of memory and 128 GB of storage space.

Other features consist of IP67 for protection against water, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, Cat 16 LTE. The phone includes a 3,320mAh battery and supports fast and wireless charging.

Nokia 9 PureView ships with Android 9 Pie and it falls below the Android One initiative. It will obtain two years of OS updates and three years of monthly safety updates — something which few phone makers offer such a warranty.
