Part of the problem with the Nokia 9 I suspect is that Light.co has gotten out of the smartphone business? Nokia 9 had Light.co rear cameras.

I don't think HMD entirely happy about Light bailing out & suspect this limits options for their new Pureview

the new top of line Nokia cellphone has been delayed in release & the rumors about the replacement's specs & even name are conflicting vaporware fantasy

I disagree with the conclusions of your > year old article ...most savvy photographers find the Nokia 9's photography system outstanding as do I

am confident Nokia will release the next iteration of its Pureview line in the coming few months, but not so confident that it will exceed the 9 Pureview in image quality

for full exif, much larger version & some others visit my pbase Small Sensor gallery by clicking this link

will keep the Pureview 9 & have Nokia put on a new frame (& battery while they are at it) as no techs in Htown will do the repair, which can't be all that difficult as everything works better than when new (...have had a recent Android 10 update which seems to improved the Android One OS)

none the less, I will purchase the new Pureview as I am confident Nokia will do right by its flagship ...beats getting a Lambo to own a paragon, don't you think?
