Two weeks after it was officially launched, the Nokia 9 PureView is now available for purchase in China. The phone was announced on the 15th and went on pre-order on the 19th of April.
The Nokia 9 PureView (6GB+128GB) is sold by JD.com for ¥5499 (~$817) which is pretty expensive for a Snapdragon 845 device. There are a lot of options out there such as the Snapdragon 855-powered Samsung Galaxy S10 (8GB+128GB) sold for ¥5999 (~$891) and the Kirin 980-powered Huawei P30 Pro (8GB+128GB) sold for ¥5488 (~$815). Even with the five rear cameras on the Nokia 9, HMD Global is going to have a hard time winning buyers over.
The Nokia 9 PureView is the first phone with five rear cameras. Unlike other manufacturers that use a combination of different lenses (ultra-wide angle, telephoto, depth) for their multiple cameras, the Nokia flagship uses the same 12MP f/1.8 cameras with two being RGB sensors while the other three are monochrome sensors for better low-light images. The phone fuses all the shots taken with each camera into one impressive photo.
The Nokia 9 PureView has a 5.99-inch P-OLED display with Gorilla Glass 5 protection. There is a fingerprint scanner under the display too. The Snapdragon 845 is the SoC under the hood and there is 6GB of RAM and 128GB of non-expandable storage.
