Hmm... what about now?
Maybe you are right just now, but who knows what will hapen in the future?
Meanwhile you can have pro quality photos without carrying your SLR camera with you... still, I have to say: Nokia 9 is not an action camera. Better with portraits and landscapes etc.

Walter C. Dornez, 24 Apr 2019It also seems a pack of gum can unlock it. False news. You should not believe everything you see in the internet. Internet is full of disinformation.

Walter C. Dornez, 14 May 2019Yep. Nokia has work to do. Why speakers? This phone is about photos. Especially RAW photos. With sound I use external speaker(s) or headphones. As I have always done with phones. I have never heard good sound quality from any phone.

Anonymous, 27 Apr 2019Even with the raw, doesn't mean they get the same quality r... moreTrue! Nokia 9 raw pictures include much more information than other phones raw pictures! That is the point of this phone. The bad part is that you really have to use that raw mode to get those better than other phones pictures. It is not snap a phone and publish it phone... it is take your raw picture. Use the all possible data that those multible cameras offer and tinker the picture in the Lightroom and then publish it. You can get better pictures with this phone than with any other phone in the market, but you have to work for it! The automatic is utterly ”bad” at this moment. But the raw image that you get from this phone offer so much data that it allows you to make incredible good pictures. Not a phone to all Mr and MS Smiths. This is for pro photo enthusiast!

Long before using the Nokia 9, i owned HTC M8 that has front facing stereo speaker. That phone i used from 2014 till 2018 ( Because my M8 suffered from liquid damage)

Walter C. Dornez, 30 Apr 2019Then a phone with stereo speakers should be in considerationDefinetly. I don't see why HMD don't put stereo speakers on most of their model. The last stereo speaker Nokia android phone are the Nokia 2.1 and Nokia 6 (2017).

Its just that the highs and lows aren't stable or doesn't produce much as compared to the Nokia 8 ( absolute great clarity, but decent bass punch)
In spite of people reviewing the speaker on Nokia 9 being absolute rubbish, thats why it made me think that Nokia 9 speaker is rubbish even though i own!!!!

I bought Nokia 9 Pureview few days ago as a second hand deal 340€. I must say that in that price rangeyou can't get any better device. It feels so much upgraded compared to my former Nokia 8.
PROS/CONS
+ Display sunlight visibility and overall quality exellent
+ Form factor with little bit bezel enables seamless handling when rotating device etc.
+ Feel light but durable built with quality materials
+ Very good stills with over the great dynamic range, good detail and colors
+ IP67 rating, no need to worry if taking a phone out when raining
+ Fingerprint reader in front, works flawless but you need to learn away of capasitive reader. You just need to touch it by using flat area of finger tip and not worry of exact position like putting your finger rather horizontal position which feels natural because more central position of reader.
+ Bluetooth just works which cannot say all devices like Huawei stuff
+ Android One, no bloatware, no vendor skin splashed over, long support, prompt updates
- Video quality mediocore, no stabilization with 4K footage
- Photo processing takes 5..10s if using depthfield, otherwise < 5s.
