The company aims to capitalise on technology by connecting its cars with its phones and home appliances
The 5.99-inch Nokia 9 PureView is the latest flagship from the Finnish company, and it's clearly riding the wave of manufacturers suddenly becoming trigger-happy with camera lenses.
As for the rest: the volume and power buttons are to the right, the USB-C port is below and the SIM tray is atop. And, no, you won't be getting the 3.5mm audio jack or a microSD slot; for certain markets, the device has a dual-SIM configuration, and the second slot is only for a SIM. There's only one configuration: 6GB of RAM and 128GB of storage.
HMD Global's Nokia 9 PureView signals a great start for them this year, and those cameras are enticing for photo buffs; the potential for this quintuple-lens system is promising, and some tweaks would really catapult it into serious conversation. I believe that this device is, to the strictest sense, an experiment of sorts. Remember, this smartphone is actually a limited-edition device. And, no, I'm not the only one who's imagining those cameras akin to spider eyes.
