HMD Global recently announced the Nokia 9 PureView for the Taiwanese market alongside its upper-midrange sibling, Nokia X71. However, the company didn’t reveal its price tag at its launch last month. Now, the flagship finally went on sale in Taiwan today and starting 2 p.m. local time it is up for grabs on the Taiwanese Nokia official store. So, we finally know its price tag: NT$20,990, that is equivalent to about 4500 Yuan at the actual exchange rate. So, the handset is way more affordable than in Chinese stores, as its listing price in China is 5499 Yuan ($827).
In case you are not from these two countries, 4500 Yuan translates into about €600/$670, while 5499 Yuan is equal to about €732/$816. In each case, Nokia 9 PureView is cheaper than the most powerful Samsung and Huawei phones, but is it worth choosing it instead of other Chinese affordable flagships?
Well, it boils down to your needs. If you want an amazing camera setup that can potentially replace a professional one, then the Nokia 9 Pureview is the right choice for you. The phone is equipped with an impressive penta-camera setup on its rear side, which includes 2x 12 MP RGB sensors and 3x 12 MP B/W sensors, including a TOF camera and Carl Zeiss lens.
The handset shoots photos from each sensor simultaneously and it merges them in order to obtain one final outstanding shot. The setup also enables amazing low-light photography.
But, if you need the best performance, there are definitely better devices around the same price tag. Indeed, Nokia 9 PureView is equipped with an old-gen Snapdragon 845 chipset, while there are already several Snapdragon 855 and Kirin 980-powered devices for less than €600.
The display on the phone is impressive with its QHD+ resolution. Some might not like the thick bezels around the screen but it doesn’t have a notch and features 18:9 aspect ratio. The operating system installed is Android One based on Android Pie, while the battery comes with a standard 3340 mAh capacity. For more info, you can check our official launch article.
