Smartphone Nokia 9 - advantages and disadvantages

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 is overgrown with rumors and speculation on the topic: what will be the design of the smartphone? The entire rear panel of the "nine" is literally littered with cameras. It's no joke - there are 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's business 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 of 8 gigabytes. For ease of management, a stylus was included in the kit, which was comfortable to type text or switch songs.

The smartphone was released as part of the Xpress Music series and was literally created to listen to your favorite tracks, both with headphones and with built-in speakers that were as loud as portable speakers.

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

Since 2016, Nokia refuses to release devices on Windows Phone, which many admirers of the brand were happy about, and completely switches to the Android operating system.

First, they re-released the beloved Nokia 3310, then 8110 with a "banana" design.
Yes, and devices that came out after - with a "clean" and intuitive Android One also pleased fans of the brand.

Everything was fine, but the devices came out without a "breakthrough", Nokia no longer surprised with its own chips. Everything should change with the arrival of the new expected model, because no other mobile device manufacturer has released such a design before.

What will happen in Nokia 9

Every manufacturer of mobile equipment should have a flagship smartphone model that he can be proud of. This device may not be the best among competitors, but within the company's lineup, it should be an area to showcase all the latest technologies and achievements that the brand has.

More recently, information began to appear on the network that the release of the ninth model from Nokia is coming. And also, the resurrection of the Pure wiew brand, which the Lumia 1020 and 808 models were famous for, is not far off, they had “crazy” matrices of 41 megapixels.

It was back in 2012, and it's easy to imagine what kind of resonance this camera phone caused. It had a Symbian operating system and Carl Zeiss optics.

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

The use of 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 know for 100% exactly which five cameras the developers will implement. Most likely, there will be a zoom, an auxiliary camera for measuring depth in portraits, a main camera with a large aperture, and the last one, probably with a huge sensor. There will be 7 holes in total on the panel. The front camera for selfie lovers is promised at 12 megapixels, and the main ones - at as much as 20!

The optics will be installed by Carl Zeiss, which will please future buyers, as this is one of the reasons why the company had such a large following in its "golden" days.

Suffice it to recall the famous N91, N73 and 5800, which can take excellent 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 us with what they could - both with the wonders of post-processing and increased detail of the final pictures.

Some cite the example of Google Pixel, which, having 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, only 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 peel off and “bubble” every now and then. Although the display is quite strong, it is still better to protect it from falling on hard surfaces.

There is IP 68 water protection here, so getting caught in the rain is now not so scary. Like staying half an hour in fresh water. If there is a desire to shoot a video under water, then the smartphone will easily help with this.

About the connectors, it must be said that there is no mini-jack for headphones here. It was not in the predecessor - the eighth model. Many manufacturers of mobile equipment 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 don't want to be deprived of their choice and don't mind listening to music with a good old wired headset. Which is better, there is no single answer. But when you have the right to choose, it's great. Even if we are talking about headphones.

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

Performance

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

The smartphone will receive 8 gigabytes of RAM. Built-in promise 128 gigabytes, with the ability to use Micro SD cards 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 "stuffing" is good - as befits a flagship.

Safety

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

Unlocking the phone by the owner's face and iris 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, have not been removed anywhere either. If anyone is comfortable, you can continue to use.

autonomy

A 4150 mAh battery is a lot. Especially for 5.9 inch screen. For a day and a half of active use is enough. The fast charging function will allow you to 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 out of your hands, it may be enough for two days.

When to expect new

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 are waiting for a price of 57 thousand Russian rubles.
