Nokia 9 PureView renders offer our best look yet at those five cameras and no-notch front
Along with the usual suspects (Samsung, LG, Sony, and so on), Nokia is widely expected to finally make a premium handset comeback sometime during the first few months of next year.
Of course, the Nokia 9 (or Nokia 9 PureView) is actually being developed by a little company called HMD Global, but what’s important is that bonkers penta-lens arrangement moves one step closer to an official confirmation today.
These are based on factory CADs (computer-aided designs), so they still may not be 100 percent factual, but they sure give us a good idea of the flagship direction the Nokia brand is headed in.
First and foremost, it’s worth highlighting the Nokia 9 PureView will most likely snub the infuriating notch trend. That being said, the “forehead” and especially the “chin” on this device could definitely be smaller.
With a 2:1 5.9-inch QHD display in tow, the Nokia 9 sounds sharp and trendy enough while not aiming to beat any size records. Overall dimensions are allegedly 155 x 75 x 7.9 mm, which will naturally make this significantly taller, as well as slightly wider and thicker than the 5.5-inch Nokia 8 Sirocco.
The latter’s Snapdragon 835 processor is obviously expected to get an upgrade to an 845 silicon, which is perfectly adequate for a high-end smartphone today, but may fall behind the pack in just a few months.
By the way, the rear cover should be made of glass, supporting wireless charging functionality, with a metal frame also in tow, a USB Type-C port on the bottom, a microphone integrated into the top antenna band, and no physical fingerprint scanner in sight. Does that mean the Nokia 9 PureView will follow the suit of the OnePlus 6T on the in-display fingerprint recognition bandwagon? Probably. Let’s just hope HMD Global goes through with this launch this time around.
