The Nokia 9 PureView does not take full advantage of its innovative quintuple camera design. As a result, it is definitely not among the best smartphone cameras available.

The Nokia 9 is a terrific device for people who know what to do with. It is also an excellent day-to-day smartphone with its PureView moniker that has succeeded before.

This is one of the most attractive and elegant phones yet from Nokia, its slim profile with flush camera lenses and smooth edges making it a particularly good fit in the hand. Although it lacks the all-screen opulence of other flagships, it looks good and the display is bright, sharp and vibrant.

As a smartphone, the Nokia 9 Pureview is pretty good for the price range it runs for. Unfortunately, it's hard to justify the need for five cameras on the back when the image quality is a bit unpredictable and especially when processing the images is so slow.

The Nokia 9 PureView stands out from the crowd with its five cameras on the back promising a much improved photographic experience. For the rest, newcomer HMD Global decided to pass on the latest Qualcomm processor but this does not limit its overall performance.

The Nokia 9 delivers great performance, clean design and a camera that's utterly like no other. However, it falls short when it comes to battery life, and is ultimately as hindered as it is empowered by its powerful photography hardware.

An ambitious camera beast with middling features.

The Nokia 9 is a beautiful smartphone with a lot going for it, but its potential is overshadowed by poor implementation of the camera and in-display fingerprint sensor.

The Nokia 9 PureView has some promising ideas, but fails to execute on nearly all of them.

As it stands, the Nokia 9's camera has an edge in dynamics range and can apply a faithful bokeh effect, but that's about it. And if the phone didn't lag behind in many other areas, that might have been enough for us to recommend it.
