One swipe and you’re home
The Nokia N9 introduces an innovative new design where the home key is replaced by a simple gesture:
a swipe. Whenever you’re in an application, swiping from the edge of the display takes you home.
The three home views of the user interface are designed to give fast access to the most important
things people do with a phone: using apps, staying up to date with notifications and social networks,
and switching between activities.
The industrial design of the Nokia N9 is an example of extreme product making and craft. The body is
precision-machined from a single piece of polycarbonate and flows seamlessly into beautiful curved
glass. The laminated deep black display means that the user interface just floats on the surface of the
product.
The Nokia N9 also packs the latest in camera, navigation and audio technology for a great all-round
experience.
“With the Nokia N9, we wanted to design a better way to use a phone. To do this we innovated in the
design of the hardware and software together. We reinvented the home key with a simple gesture: a
swipe from the edge of the screen. The experience sets a new bar for how natural technology can feel,”
said Marko Ahtisaari, Nokia’s head of Design. “And this is just the beginning. The details that make the
Nokia N9 unique – the industrial design, the all-screen user experience, and the expressive Qt
framework for developers – will evolve in future Nokia products.”
Innovative all-screen design
With no need for a home key, the all-screen Nokia N9 makes more room for apps to shine. The 3.9-inch
AMOLED screen is made from scratch–resistant curved glass. The polycarbonate body enables superior
antenna performance. This means better reception, better voice quality and fewer dropped calls.
Camera, maps and multimedia
The 8-megapixel Carl Zeiss autofocus sensor, wide-angle lens, HD-quality video capture and large lens
aperture enable great camera performance even in lowlighting conditions. This makes the Nokia N9 one
of the best camera-phones ever produced.
The Nokia N9 features free turn-by-turn drive and walk navigation with voice guidance in Maps. With the
new dedicated Drive app, you can get in your car and start navigating to your destination right away.

You can watch videos in true 16:9 widescreen format. And because the Nokia N9 is also the world’s first
smartphone with Dolby® Digital Plus decoding and Dolby Headphone post-processing technology, you
get a surround sound experience with any set of headphones.
Touch just got better
Fitted with the latest in wireless technology, Near Field Communication (NFC), the Nokia N9 allows you
to easily share images and videos between devices by touching them together. Pair it with Bluetooth
accessories like the new NFC-enabled Nokia Play 360° wireless music speaker only once, and you get a
great surround sound music experience with just a tap.
Colors and Memory
The Nokia N9 will be available in three colors – black, cyan, and magenta with storage options to
accommodate plenty of content: 16GB and 64GB. The Nokia N9 is scheduled to be in stores later this
year, with availability and local pricing to be announced closer to the sales start.
