Nokia 9 smartphone - pros and cons

Nokia 9 smartphone - pros and cons

One of the most mysterious and anticipated releases of 2018 is Nokia 9. The release of the smartphone is scheduled for late 2018 - early 2019. This novelty was overgrown with rumors and speculation on the topic: what will the design of the smartphone be? The entire rear panel of the Nine is literally littered with cameras. It's no joke - there are as many as five of them. Why is this necessary? Apparently in order to revolutionize the art of mobile photography.

How it was after Windows Phone

First, a little history. After Nokia was bought by HMD Global, the Finnish brand took off.

Many people still remember Nokia on the Symbian operating system, for example one of the most hit models of 2009 - 5800, which was called the Finnish "answer" to the IPhone.

The gadget was equipped with a touch screen, and three control buttons, had 128 megabytes of RAM and a gift flash drive for 8 gigabytes. For ease of operation, the kit included a stylus, which was comfortable to type text or switch songs.

The smartphone was released as part of the Xpress Music series and was literally created for listening to your favorite tracks, both with headphones and with the help of built-in speakers, which were not inferior in volume to portable speakers.

An interesting feature was also a pick keychain, red, blue or black, depending on the color of the phone. He worked on 9.4 Symbian, flew like a rocket in games and applications, for 2009 had no analogues among other phones.

Since 2016, Nokia has been abandoning the release of Windows Phone devices, which many admirers of the brand were pleased with, and completely switches to the Android operating system.

First, the beloved Nokia 3310 was re-released, then the 8110 with a “banana” design.
And the devices that came out after - with "clean" and intuitive Android One also delighted the fans of the brand.

Everything was fine, but the devices came out without a "breakthrough", Nokia didn't surprise with its own chips anymore. This should change with the arrival of the new expected model, because such a design has never been released by any manufacturer of mobile devices.

What's in the Nokia 9

Every mobile manufacturer should have a flagship smartphone to be proud of. This device may not be the best among the competition, but within the company's lineup, it should be an area to show all the latest technologies and achievements that the brand possesses.

More recently, information began to appear on the net that the ninth model from Nokia is coming. And also, not far off the resurrection of the Pure wiew brand, for which the Lumia 1020 and 808 models were famous, they were equipped with “crazy” 41-megapixel matrixes.

It was back in 2012, and it's easy to imagine what kind of resonance this cameraphone caused. He possessed the Symbian operating system and Carl Zeiss optics.

Now the developers decided that instead of one 41-megapixel camera, you can put several at once, only with different resolutions.

Using multiple cameras and the right post-processing software is one of the secrets to the success of modern smartphones.

Cameras

At the moment we have only preliminary photos of the future "nine".And it is still impossible to find out 100% which five cameras the developers will implement. There will likely be a zoom, an auxiliary camera for measuring depth in portraits, a main camera with a large aperture, and the latter, probably with a huge sensor. There will be 7 holes in total on the panel. The front camera for selfie lovers is promised for 12 megapixels, and the main ones - for as much as 20!

The optics will be installed by Carl Zeiss, which will delight future buyers, as this is one of the reasons why the company had so many fans in its "golden" times.

Suffice it to recall the famous N91, N73 and 5800, which can take great photos.
Whether there will be a revolution in mobile photography is still unknown, opinions are divided. Some fans of the brand are sure that we have not seen anything like this yet, others claim that the Chinese in the new Huawei and Xiaomi have already surprised them with what they could - both with the wonders of post-processing and increased detail of the final images.

Some cite the example of the Google Pixel, which, with only one camera in its arsenal, will impress anyone with the quality of shooting. To each, as they say, his own.

Design and connectors

The body of the device will be made of aluminum, glass and ceramics - no sharp corners, just soft and streamlined edges. The large 5.9-inch screen, which occupies about 76% of the entire front panel of the smartphone, will allow you to see all the shades and midtones, especially since the AMOLED format contributes to complete immersion in what is happening on the screen.

The display is protected over the entire surface by a special tempered glass Corning gorilla Glass 5. In this case, there is no need to glue protective films on the screen, which continually peel off and "bubble". Although the display is strong enough, it is still better to protect it from falls on hard surfaces.

It is protected from water according to the IP 68 standard, so getting into the rain is now not so scary. As well as staying half an hour in fresh water. If there is a desire to shoot a video underwater, then the smartphone will easily help with this.

As for the connectors, I must say that there is no mini-jack for headphones. Nor was it in its predecessor - the eighth model. Many manufacturers of mobile technology in their devices in 2019 refuse connectors for a wired headset.

Some users are happy to support the initiative and switch to wireless headphones. The other half do not want to be deprived of their choice and do not mind listening to music using a good old wired headset. Which is better - there is no single answer. But when you have the right to choose, that's fine. Even if we are talking about headphones.

But not about the sad. There is something in the "nine" to please, for example - type-c, it is modern and convenient. There is also USB 3.1. And all the available wireless communication methods such as Wi-fi, Bluetooth, GPS and more.

Performance

According to preliminary specifications, it is known that the Nokia 9 will be powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon845 processor, which is surprising to many, since something new would be needed for 2019. The operating system is fresh - brand new Android 9 Pie, to which many modern devices have not yet been updated. It is immediately installed "out of the box".

The smartphone will receive 8 gigabytes of RAM. The built-in promise is 128 gigabytes, with the ability to use a Micro SD card with a capacity of up to 512 gigabytes.

The memory card slot will be hybrid, so you will have to choose - either memory expansion or dual - sim. The technical "filling" is good - as befits a flagship.

Safety

The fingerprint scanner will be under the screen. This arrangement is very convenient - you don't have to grope it from behind, like the Samsung Galaxy s8, for example, and expose yourself to torment.

Unlocking the phone by the owner's face and the iris of the eye will also be easy - an analogue of Face ID is provided and will work. The usual unlocking methods, such as a password code and a graphic drawing, have not been removed anywhere either. If it is convenient for anyone, you can use it further.

Autonomy

A 4150 mAh battery is a lot. Especially for a 5.9 inch screen. A day and a half of active use is enough. The fast charging function will charge the device from 0 to 68% in half an hour.

If you do not use it for active games for a long time and at least sometimes let it go, it may be enough for two days.

When to expect a novelty

The company plans to announce the flagship in 2019. The exact date of the start of sales is still kept secret.

It is assumed that the cost of the new device will start from 750 euros, which means that we will have a price of 57 thousand Russian rubles.
