Nokia 9 Pureview holds a record that no other smartphone has ever come close to surpassing since it was launched in February 2019. That is the penta-camera setup with a whopping five cameras at the rear and two cameras for selfies, making a total of seven cameras. The camera samples we’ve seen clearly show this setup isn’t a gimmick. But that isn’t the only spectacular thing about the Nokia flagship. Zack Nelson of JerryRigEverything fame has now subjected the Nokia 9 to his famous durability test and it passed!
Nokia’s towering reputation has its basis on the solid build the company’s mobile phones were known for even before the Android era. The Nokia 9 PureView indeed keeps to that reputation going by the durability test result.

The test begins with the scratch test using the Moh’s hardness scale. The scratch test doesn’t really reveal anything out of the ordinary. Since there is a Gorilla Glass protection over the screen, the device will scratch at similar levels on the Mohs hardness scale. The device was also subjected to the rather pointless flame test which turns the AMOLED pixels white after around thirty seconds, and they never fully recover.
The one that interests us the most is the bend test. The Nokia 9 PureView glass panel holds on solidly when pressure is applied on the back and front. The glass at the back slightly separates from the frame when the pressure is increased, perhaps due to weak adhesive but there is no irreversible damage to the phone. The screen still works fine.
