Hands on: Nokia 9 PureView review

The camera phone to beat all camera phones?

Early Verdict

The Nokia 9 PureView is highly original. Its five-camera array is hugely impressive and the tech behind the images could well deliver a photo quality never seen on a camera phone before. The rest of the specs are a little MoR but this is one to watch.

Pros

  • +

    Five cameras!

  • +

    Huge detail in shots

Cons

  • -

    No optical zoom

  • -

    Screen tech could be better.

Nokia has pulled out all the stops when it comes to the Nokia 9 PureView. This is a handset that screams camera phone and it has been revealed at MWC 2019

That's because it's got five (count 'em) lenses on the back. This is a world's first five camera array and it's an interesting look.
