The device features a 6-inch 2K pOLED display with an embedded fingerprint scanner. It packs a Snapdragon 855 SoC coupled with 6GB of RAM and 128GB of storage. The 9 PureView runs on the latest Android Pie OS and features a 3320 mAh battery. The Nokia 9 PureView will be available in March, fetching a $699 price-tag in the United States.

Most important though are the five cameras on the rear, laid out in a circular pattern with the LED flash and sensor. Only two of those cameras actually shoot in colour, while the others shoot in monochrome to focus on light sensitivity. All five cameras feature a 12MP sensor with an f/1.8 lens. The way this setup works is, when you hold down the shutter button, all five cameras shoot at different exposure levels, and the images are then merged into a single shot in post processing, to give you the best details and lighting in the scene.

The Nokia 9 PureView will release in the US first in March for Rs 49,000. Hopefully, that means it'll be available in India by April.
