Nokia 9 PureView in for review

31 March 2019
Everyone’s focused on the five cameras on the back and, frankly, so are we.

I agree, software must be same but photos can be shaped on computer . 10 different photos on 5 flagships. After this experiment everyone would know what to expect.

    Outdated processor, small battery, insane price, bad pics. Foxconn, you deserve the same as your zombie brand "nokia" did before - go away from that business. Basic phones - all you can do on your own.

      Anonymous, 31 Mar 2019Hi Samath .... Instead of multi focal length like for ex... moreI'm aware about sensor size limitations.
      I'm also aware of monochrome capturing upto 3 times more light in a similar sensor, thus ensuring solid dynamic range and quality. And here my awareness reg. Nokia 9 ends.

      With 5 different perspectives, won't the 5 cameras see different images? How will we overlay them? For Landscape this works awesome because they all see almost the same image.
      What about portrait & close up shots?

        Shinigami, 01 Apr 2019You should have a lot of courage or stupidity to write this... moreYou said HMD doesn't make decent stuff and I only ask anything that can back your statement. Where's the not so serious about that? Instead of telling me to google for some sources, how about you give me one because I have mine and they said nothing about HMD making "not so decent" stuffs like you said.

        Opinions are indeed opinions. However, I'm not obliged to respect opinion that is only based on one people whom also refused to explain the further reasoning behind their opinion. Especially when they are trying drag away the discussion by implying that I was not so serious about this.

          NoM, 01 Apr 20191. Design: we can not debate about it you may like it or no... moreThat might be a good idea, though in that case it would be fairer to use Lightroom on S10+ and iPhone XS Max since it offers HDR RAW feature with exceptional dynamic range and lower noise level than regular single-shot dng file. In this way the processing times would be similar among 3 devices, too.

              yesornot, 01 Apr 2019You don't even know the subject you're writing about. Proce... moreThen how are you supposed to check whether the photo is blurred/has a motion blur or not, right after you have taken the photo? Sure you can take a photo consecutively, but because of how these cameras are implemented(all 5 cameras take photos simultaneously ALL THE TIME), there is no burst mode that can help you capture the right moment you want to have. If you take 10 photos then it will take roughly 2 minutes for the last one to be processed and show up in the gallery. This camera is definitely not suited for moving objects.
              And finally I don't give a damn about how many pixels are processed by the processor and why it takes so long for images to be processed, if it makes me wait for 10 - 15 seconds for each photo I take, I expect detail level, exposure, dynamic range and colours to be spectacular or even near perfect regardless of the lighting conditions in both JPEG and RAW.

                Shinigami, 01 Apr 2019Again one guy who never had any Nokia HMD phones, who just ... moreNokia 9 is at the same price with Xiaomi Mi9 !! Dare to compare !!!

                  1. Design: we can not debate about it you may like it or not, i am not into bezel-less phones i prefer stuff what Razer is doing if Nokia added 2 speakers on that unused space it would be much better.
                  2. dedicated button for photos is big minus :(
                  3. If phone do not has card slot than it should have at list 256 GB.
                  4. Hope they will fix fingerprint sensor problem.
                  5. About photos i would like to see real comparison vs competition. I mean shooting raw
                  at Nokia 9/S10+/XS max/........ than ask some professional to make from raw images as good photo as possible. After this let people chose there favorite but blindly (i mean not knowing which phones made photo) but you should see image on computer screen not on phone. Then we will know if this phone worth of people money, time and dreams.

                      yesornot, 01 Apr 2019Perhaps that is why today your imagination is especially pl... moreAgain one guy who never had any Nokia HMD phones, who just played a little bit in a shop or the one of a friend....

                      Seriously, it's people who buy this phone who are just buying for a useless device with a beatiful logo on it.

                      So yes there are devices sold around 800 euros and others who cost less, but it isn't an excuse to sell unfinished and outdated devices.

                      It's less expensive for me to spend 800 euros in a device correctly manufactured and optimized than a 600 euros thing which fill my pocket for nothing good.

                      So yes there is 200 euros/ dollars of difference, indeed, all prices are arranged and always increase but it isn't a reason to try convince people that they have to accept inconveniences because it isn't cheaper... Stop to be a Fanboy, or spare your money for an iPhone, they will be really happy to welcome you in an Apple Store...

                        Those 3 b&w cameras that claims to produce up to "10 times more light than any other smartphone" can be possible if your get the exposure right and the focus at a certain angle for night shots.

                          @GSMArena it would also be great if you can compare the photos with the unfairly forgotten last true Nokia flagship - The 930

                            Its awesome, would be more attractive if they put 2 flashes. both sides

If it's well made then what's the point of arguing whether it's the real deal or not?

IMO, R&D of HMD had ruined this phone, with a flawed fingerprint reader, and development period is too long. When all new phones are using Snapdragon 855, its use of Snapdragon 845 implies its design is old. Hope the next Nokia flagship can be better.

                                        - Camera crash at low battery and processing speed
                                        before GSM arena starts the review.

                                        Its been in the works for a few weeks now, so would be sad if they just missed it
