The latest report by NPU suggests the Nokia 9.3 PureView is going to be a pretty futuristic smartphone, but the report should be taken with a pinch of salt until things are more certain. The under screen camera technology sees the front camera hide under a working display and it is a concept that OPPO showcased last year. We are yet to see a commercial phone with an in-display camera. As for the new PureDisplay V3, the report does not mention exactly the kind of improvement we will see, but sources say it will be one of the best displays on a smartphone yet.
