The 5MP selfie cam on the Nokia 9 will actually be a dual camera

Peter, 20 December 2017

We were a tad disappointed to find out that the Nokia 9 will have a 5MP selfie camera. The disappointment at the resolution remains but it turns out that it’s a dual 5MP camera, which does make it look a little better.

The FCC listed a Chicony CKACE16 module and going over to the manufacturer’s site, we see that it lists it as a dual camera (but shows an image of a single camera... we’re assuming that the photo shows the wrong model).

The camera has autofocus (yay!) and an f/2.0 aperture for one of the modules, the other one has an f/2.4 lens. It’s that f/2.0 module that is responsible for video – 1080p.

The limited spec sheet doesn’t go into details what the other module does – does it have a black & white sensor or a different field of view? These things should be cleared up early next year when HMD officially unveils the Nokia 9 (and perhaps a new Nokia 6 too).

The image in this article is a mockup based on the Nokia 8, made by GSM Arena. You really need to work on your skepticism and critical thinking.

Why would they add 3.5mm jack on global version but remove it from chinese version I dont think it will happen either both will have it or lack it

Monochrome is to improve low.light shots which does not make much sense of front and can be repleaces with a flash and yes I too think best secondary camera is wide angle especially on front
