The Nokia 9 Full Review

The Once King of mobile photography - the PureView camera - is back! Nokia's champion has lived through the twilights of Symbian and Windows Phone, to be once more born-again within the peak of mechanical man era. HMD's Nokia nine is that the bearer of the next-gen PureView snapper, and it is not one, however whole six of them!

The next PureView phone was within the rumors for years and nevertheless it did not return to pass. however it wasn't dead, it had been lying dormant somewhere in Nokia, and later - HDM's labs all this point - and currently it's accessible for purchase.

The Nokia nine launched within the heat of the smartphone photography war and it appears already sooner than the competition - whereas others square measure adopting the triple-cam setup and Huawei pushing the quadruple, Nokia is already sooner than the sport with the primary hexa-camera on the rear.

Don't get that excited simply nevertheless. despite the fact that there square measure six snappers, not one in all those is wide or exposure. that is as a result of the Nokia nine PureView is not targeting the casual user - however the photography enthusiasts WHO square measure already accustomed shooting RAW on their digital cameras and would welcome identical expertise on a phone. however a lot of this new camera during a minute.

The other Nokia nine specs are not as newest. The phone boasts a 3.99 inch OLED screen of QHD+ resolution, a final year's flower 845 chipset with 6GB of RAM, and a 3,320 mAh battery that will not last it a full heap.

Other aspects of the phone square measure a lot of up-to-date. It options AN in-screen fingerprint scanner and a 20MP selfie snapper capable of pixel-binning for improved low-light performance. It conjointly boots the newest version of mechanical man One - Pie ANd it's an IP67 rating for water and dirt resistance.

The Nokia 9's PureView camera has 5 12MP modules with identical fastened distance of 28mm along side a ToF camera. The output of all cameras is combined into one for a purportedly beautiful image with unmatched dynamic vary. lossless zoom is on the table, too. This all sounds promising, however those searching for the flexibility of the various focal ranges that different makers square measure giving could be frustrated.

The last year's chipset is additionally a small happening despite the fact that the Nokia nine is way cheaper than the other fresh free flagship. Okay, maybe it is not as low cost because the Xiaomi Mi nine however it's still competitively priced. whether or not HMD did not have the time to implement the camera complexness onto a brand new chip or it had been one thing else - we cannot understand. however the Nokia nine is pitched as a edition, which implies the longer term of the PureView camera is hanging within the balance and therefore the Nokia nine can tip the scales a method or the opposite. Let's hope HMD's risks do pan out.

Unboxing the Nokia nine
The Nokia nine retail bundle has all the necessities - AN 18W charger, a USB-C cable, and a combine of in-ear headphones with the nice ol' 3.5mm jack.

Since the Nokia nine does not have AN analog audio port, HMD is additionally provng a 3.5mm-to-USB-C adapter. We have to admit this is the first time a maker ships a smartphone, flagship at that, with a headset that will always require an adapter and we find this odd, if not lazy.
