Nokia's new flagship smartphone will feature 5 cameras

2019 is going to see some very wild smartphone camera set ups. With various key manufacturers like Huawei and even Samsung set to ship flagships with no less than three cameras, Nokia seems to be dead set in reclaiming its top spot by offering a device with five cameras.

Leaked on Twitter by Evan Blass, the Nokia 9 PureView packs a starting five cameras replete with Zeiss optics. The extra sensors allow for taking five photos at a a time, they let in 10x more light and enable refocusing on the photos taken in post or using Google Photos. 

This 6-inch flagship will ship with Qualcomm' SnapDragon 845 processor, 6GB of RAM and 128 GB of storage. Pricing and availability have not yet been disclosed. Nokia has a reputation for the absolute best in terms of smartphone camera hardware and when the PureView tag is attached, you can be sure of spectacular image quality. While it looks odd, the Nokia 9 PureView will be anticipated by advanced smartphone photographers.

Essential Phone ends its run as stock depletes

Less than two years in the market, the smartphone that kicked off thin bezels and notches is nbearing its end of life as stock depletes. This means that you won't be able to buy new Essential Phones, nor would you really want to invest in what is essentially a discontinued product.

The Essential Phone is far from obsolete. The company continues to make updates available and might do so for one year. Essential's focus is no longer on this device but on whatever smart home hub they are planning on making. Essential Phone was a remarkable device and this writer's daily carry until an update negated the SIM unlock feature. I doubt we will see the likes of the Essential Phone PH-1 again.
