Brilliant, but also a little bit unnecessary...

Smartphones really have come a long way in the past few years, but this is one of the most technologically advanced things we think we've ever seen in a phone. Nokia have unveiled their brand new Nokia 9 PureView, and it has five top quality cameras on the back. According to the Business Insider, the five cameras are arranged in a pentagon shape on the rear of the phone, and impressively don't add any extra bump or bulk. Two of the five lenses are 12-megapixel colour cameras, while the remaining three are 12-megapixel monochrome sensors. One of the coolest things about it is that the phone can shoot natively in black and white, with the monochrome sensors adding sharpness and detail to colour photos. https://twitter.com/verge/status/1099693180868452358 If you're interested, the phone will cost you a tidy $699, or €617. The phone is already shipping, but HMD Global, the company that now owns the Nokia brand, hasn't given exact dates for availability in the US and Europe. But forget about the cameras, we just want to know if you can get Snake on it. Is that too much to ask for?
