HMD owned Nokia went official with Nokia 9 Pureview couple of weeks back. It followed with the announcement of other Nokia smartphones such as Nokia 210, Nokia 1 Plus, Nokia 3.2 and Nokia 4.2. Among all these, Nokia 9 Pureview is the only high-end device featuring the first ever rear Penta camera module. It’s available across various countries for over a week now and even few issues have sprawled up. To ensure a great experience while using Nokia 9 Pureview, HMD has announced that an update is in works for two major bugs.
While talking about the new update, Juho Sarvikas, Chief Product Officer at HMD Global, acknowledged the unreliable in-display fingerprint sensor issue. He emphasized that the company will try to improve the experience by mending the bugs. Since launch, many users also complained about the camera app crashes on low battery. The cause behind sudden app crashes is either related to low voltage or switching of the device’s profile.
“With more users out there, we’ve seen a few camera crashes due to battery voltage drop when charge is low. We will address this,” wrote Sarvikas.
Nokia has not confirmed any other detail about the software update. However, going with the company’s track records, we need not wait for long.
Additionally, Nokia 9 Pureview is currently available in the US and some European countries. Its launch in India and China is still pending.
As far as the specifications are concerned, Nokia 9 Pureview comes with a 5.99 inch Quad HD POLED display and Corning Gorilla Glass 5 protection. Its display carries 18.5:9 aspect ratio and an in-screen fingerprint sensor. The company has packed a Penta-camera module on the smartphone which houses a five 12 megapixel sensors – three monochrome sensors and two are RGBs. All sensors concurrently shoot images and later compile together for a better final output. A 20-megapixel selfie shooter is present on the front side.
The device is powered by a year old Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 SoC coupling 6GB RAM and 128 GB internal storage. IP67 certified Nokia PureView is water and dust resistant, and packs a USB Type-C port, ditching 3.5 mm audio jack.
