Part of Google's Android One programme, the Nokia 9 PureView's biggest highlight is its penta-lens camera setup present on the back of the smartphone. The camera setup houses three monochrome and two RGB sensors - all with the same f/1.82 lenses. Other key specifications of the phone include a 5.99-inch 2K screen, Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 SoC, and 6GB of RAM. Targeted at the camera enthusiasts, the Nokia 9 PureView will be competing with the likes of Samsung Galaxy S10+, Huawei Mate 20 Pro, and Sony Xperia 1 smartphones.

According to HMD Global, the Nokia 9 PureView will carry a price tag of $699 (roughly Rs. 49,700) and it will be available for pre-orders immediately in select markets around the world. The sales open in March 2019. The company notes that the Nokia 9 PureView will be offered in the sole Midnight Blue colour.
