News: Meet the Nokia 9 PureView the Pixel 3 XL You Wanted
After months of waiting, it looks like HMD has finally answered the call. Nokia's parent company is finally releasing a true flagship phone — one that isn't just an enhanced version of a previous phone and actually brings something new to the table. That phone is the Nokia 9 PureView.The Nokia 9 PureView has been a long time coming. It's been rumored since early 2018, one year after HMD started releasing Android-powered devices using the Nokia name. While its unique feature did delay its release (resulting in the use of an older SoC), the overall package makes it a strong contender in early 2019, despite being behind the curve. With its improved camera, well-built design, and other goodies, this might be the phone to put Nokia back in the hands of previous fans.Jump to a section: Standout Features | Dates | Storage | Price | Body | Basics | Software | Display | Performance | Battery | Front Camera | Rear Camera | Audio | Media Formats | Sensors | Connectivity | Security | Box Includes
Standout FeaturesThe Nokia 9 PureView uses a Penta-lens system, using five cameras simultaneously to take photos. These cameras use technology created by Light which allows them to capture 10x more light than the average smartphone camera.As a member of the Android One program, it runs stock Android 9 Pie and comes with three years of security updates and two years of software updates. It's offering all this at a price which is hundreds of dollars lower than many other flagship devices with similar specs.And from March 3rd to March 11th, you can get this phone for $599, putting its price range closer to the OnePlus 6T than many other flagships — an offer that's almost too good to pass up.
Important DatesNokia 9 PureView ultimately was announced during Mobile World Congress 2019 on February 24, 2019. The phone will release on March 3rd at Amazon, Best Buy, and B&H. Between March 3rd and March 11th, the phone will retail at an even lower price of $599. However, on March 11th, it will return to its full MSRP of $699, so get it while it's hot.Release date: March 3, 2019 Preorder date: Unknown Announced: February 24, 2019Buy the Nokia 9 PureView: Amazon | Best Buy | B&H
Storage CapacitySimilar to the Sony Xperia 1 and LG G8, the Nokia 9 PureView will come in one storage option, 128 GB. It will not support expandable storage via microSD.Storage available: 128 GB Expandable storage: no
Price for EverythingThe Nokia 9 PureView will be priced at $699. For context, the Google Pixel 3 with similar specs retails for $799. Except for the OnePlus 7 and 7T, this will be one of the lowest priced flagship phones to come out in 2019.Price: $699
BodyThe Nokia 9 PureView will come in one color, Midnight Blue. Both the front and back cover are glass, with both protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 5.Frame: aluminum, glass Finish: midnight blue
BasicsThe Nokia 9 PureView has an IP67 rating. This means it's fully protected against harmful dust and can be submerged in water up to a depth of 1 meter (or 3.3 ft) for up to 30 minutes without damage. The Nokia 9 will be sold unlocked, meaning you can use it on any supported network.Height: 6.10 inches Width: 2.95 inches Depth: 0.31 inches Weight: 6.07 ounces Dust/water resistance: IP67 Supported carriers: AT&T, T-Mobile Infrared blaster: no
SoftwareLike most of the Nokia devices released in 2018, the Nokia 9 PureView is in the Android One program. As a requirement, it must run an unmodified version of Android, similar to the Google Pixel lineup. Software updates and security patches are even handled by Google, meaning this device will be updated in a speedy fashion. Another requirement for this program is two years of software updates and three years of security patches. This means the Nokia 9 PureView will get both Android 10 and Android 11.Version: Android 9.0 Pie Image by MrMobile [Michael Fisher]/YouTube
DisplayThe Nokia 9 PureView will have a 5.99-inch POLED display. It has a resolution of 2880 x 1440p for a pixel density of 538 ppi. It's one of the few phones this year that will not sport a display notch, instead housing the 20 MP front-facing camera in the top bezel. It is an HDR screen with support for HDR10.Screen size: 5.99" inches Screen resolution: 2880 x 1440 pixels Total pixels: 4,147,200 pixels Pixel density: 538 ppi Screen type: POLED Notch: no Screen-to-body ratio: 79.7 percent Aspect ratio: 18:9 HDR: yes, HDR10 Minimum brightness: Unknown Maximum brightness:Unknown Refresh rate: 60 Hz (60 Hz for touch-sensing) Color temp: Unknown Color gamut: Unknown Image by MrMobile [Michael Fisher]/YouTube
PerformanceSince it originally was supposed to come out in 2018, the Nokia 9 PureView has a 2018 processor (SoC), the Qualcomm Snapdragon 845. Ultimately, the fate of this phone from a sales perspective will hinge on whether or not consumers care about using an older, but more than capable SoC.Memory: 6 GB RAM Processor: Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 Chip size: 10 nanometer CPU frequency: 2.8 GHz (Gold) + 1.77 GHz (Silver) CPU cores: 8 (4 Gold + 4 Silver) GPU: Adreno 630 GPU cores: 4
BatteryThe Nokia 9 PureView comes with a fairly mundane 3,320 mAh battery. It does support USB Power Delivery and Quick Charge 3.0 for fast charging. It also supports the Qi wireless charging standard up to 10W.Battery: rechargeable lithium-ion Removable: no Capacity: 3,320 mAh Wired charging: yes, Quick Charge 3.0 (18W), USB PD Wireless charging: yes, Qi wireless charging (10W)
Front CameraThe Nokia 9 PureView comes with one 20 MP camera. We don't know much about the camera outside of its resolution. The front (and rear) camera can use pixel binning which is combines pixels together for a higher detail 5 MP photo.Resolution: 20 MP Aperture: Unknown Zoom: no Flash: yes, LED Image stabilization: no RAW support: no Object detection: Unknown Formats: Unkonwn
Rear CameraThis is where things get interesting: the Nokia 9 PureView has a total of five rear cameras. Each camera has essentially the same lens, but two of the image sensors behind them are RGB, while the other three are monochrome. Each time you take a photo, all five cameras capture an image. These images are then fused together to create a highly detailed 12 MP photo.However, if you choose to shoot in RAW, this final image will actually be anywhere between 60–240 MP. With this photo, you can use Adobe Lightroom (who HMD has partnered with to provide the free version to Nokia 9 PureView users) to edit the photos with the same tools as you'd find on a computer. Each lens is optimized by ZEISS for additional picture quality.Resolution: 12 MP + 12 MP + 12 MP + 12 MP + 12 MP Sensor size: 1/2.9" + 1/2.9" + 1/2.9" + 1/2.9" + 1/2.9" Aperture: ƒ/1.82 + ƒ/1.82 + ƒ/1.82 + ƒ/1.82 + ƒ/1.82 Zoom: Unknown Flash: yes, LED Image stabilization: no RAW support: Unknown Lens cover: Unknown Object detection: Unknown Formats: Unknown Image by The Verge/YouTube Only a single RGB sensor is used in videography.

AudioThe Nokia 9 PureView has single bottom-firing speaker, so no stereo speakers. It has no headphone jack either, so audio will either be limited to using a dongle and wired headphones or wireless headphones.3.5 mm headphone jack: no Stereo speakers: no Mics: 3 Max speaker volume: Unknown
Media FormatsThe Nokia 9 PureView supports the usual file types supported by Android.Audio: MP3, AAC, AAC+, WMA, AMR-NB, AMR-WB, WAV, FLAC, APE, OGG, MID, M4A, IMY Video: MKV, MOV, MP4, H.265(HEVC), AVI, WMV, TS, 3GP, FLV, WEBM
SensorsThe Nokia 9 PureView includes the usual set of sensors. It does include a barometer to improve elevation readings for location detection.Accelerometer: yes Ambient light: yes Barometer: yes Color temperature: no Compass: yes Gravity: no Gyroscope: yes Hall: yes Infrared: no Laser: no Pedometer: no Proximity: yes Nokia 9 PureView is great for location tracking.

ConnectivityWith the Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 SoC, the PureView is unable to support Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax). However, it does include NFC for Android Pay and Bluetooth 5 support.Wi-Fi: 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac Bluetooth: 5 NFC: yes Cellular: nano-SIM Port: USB Type-C The Nokia 9 PureView supports LTE Band 13 which should make it compatible on Verizon networks. However, it must get a Verizon certification for compatibility. It will work on both AT&T and T-Mobile networks as an unlocked phone. It will also work on some prepaid networks such as Cricket, Tracfone, Net10, Simple Mobile, and H2O Wireless.Model number A.GSM 2G EDGE: 850, 900, 1800, 1900 MHz GSM 3G/3.5G HSPA+: 850, 900, 1700, 1900, 2100 MHz 4G LTE LTE: 1/2/3/4/5/7/8/12/13/17/20/28/32/38/39/40/41/66
SecurityThe Nokia 9 PureView uses an in-display fingerprint scanner. Again, because this phone was delayed, it uses last year's optical in-display fingerprint scanner tech, which requires light to shine on your finger. This means it won't work with most screen protectors and it's affected by dust and water if they are on your hand.The PureView uses TrulySecure facial recognition. This feature is a FIDO-certified biometric authentication technology, which Sensory (the company behind this feature) claims can identify and authenticate enrolled users with 99.999% accuracy (a 1 in 10,000 failure rate). This feature runs completely on-device, is encrypted, and data is never shared over the internet for maximum security.Fingerprint scanner: yes, in-display Face scanner: yes, TrulySecure Iris scanner: no Manual authentication: password, PIN, pattern, swipe Image by GSMArena Official/YouTube
