Nokia 9 PureView: At a glance
As per renders, the Nokia 9 PureView will sport a traditional notch-free display with slim top and bottom bezels. Further, the rear glass chassis will house the novel penta-lens camera setup. The renders also show a USB Type-C port while highlighting the lack of a physical fingerprint scanner and headphone jack. Hence, the phone may come with an in-display fingerprint sensor.
