What’s better than a triple rear camera phone? Here is a dreamer’s phone Nokia 9 with 5 rear cameras.
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.
The Nokia 9 PureView takes a radically different approach: all five of its cameras have the same aperture and field-of-view, and when users take a photo, the entire array snaps a shot at the same time and composites them into one image. Think of it like HDR on steroids.
What makes the new series Nokia 9 a better phone, let’s find out:

Cameras:
All 5 cameras of Nokia 9 are 12MP, using an f/1.8 Zeiss lens. Three cameras are Monochrome, meaning they only capture black and white colors, while the remaining two are RGB sensors.
Images from all 5 cameras are drifted together to produce a single image, offering up to 12.4 stops of lighting, the same as a DSLR camera. The monochrome sensors let in 2.8x more light than regular sensors and produce actual black and white images instead of removing color from normal images.
Smartphone cameras generally, focus on a single subject and blur out everything for the bokeh effect. Nokia 9 won’t do that and will produce an image with 1200 points of depth data with a uniform 12MP resolution.
The front camera is a single 20MP shooter which uses pixel binning to produce 5MP images with better lighting and detail.
Battery:
Nokia 9 PureView will feature a 3,320 mAh battery with fast charging and wireless charging.
Design and display:
With Gorilla Glass 5 on the front and back sandwiching a metal frame (milled from a single block of 6000 series aluminium), the Nokia 9 PureView looks and feels like a premium Smartphone. It's also IP67 rated, providing water and dust resistant which should help it survive being briefing submerged up to 1 meter.
The Nokia 9 PureView is distinguishable from other flagships on both sides. Its front display lacks a notch, instead maintaining conservative bezels above and below.
The back, of course, has the five cameras, plus a flash and ToF (time of flight) sensor, for a wildly distinctive seven-hole radial pattern that looks a bit like the Blackberry logo. If the hubbub generated by leaked photos of the camera array is anything to go by, the phone's lens spread will turn heads.
The Nokia 9 PueView measures 155 x 75 x 8mm and tips the scales at 172g, ensuring its presence in your hand. The curved rear glass does help it nestle in the palm, but this is a large phone and will need two hands for many tasks as it offers up little in the way of grip.
The Nokia 9 PureView display is a 5.99-inch QHD+ pOLED screen, which is as high-resolution as almost every other flagship on the market.
There is an additional feature hiding under the display too, with a fingerprint scanner built into the screen. The Nokia 9 PureView comes with the commonly used optical reader, rather than the ultrasonic tech in the Galaxy S10, but it's still good to see a hot flagship feature make its way into a Nokia.
Storage:
There’s 6GB of RAM with 128 GB of internal storage. Granted an 855 supports 5G, but a lack of 5G in most regions in the world means that it won’t be an issue.
The Nokia 9 PureView is an impressive device built for photographers on the go, and if you’re truly committed to this format, this could be the phone for you. Its specs are respectable but not outstanding, which is fine for a phone priced hundreds of dollars below the top-specced handsets on the market.
