The Nokia 9 PureView may well have been the greatest disappointment of the first half of this year, especially after exclusive global brand licensee HMD Global waited so long to release a true flagship smartphone. Unfortunately, said "flagship" came powered by an outdated high-end processor right off the bat, while its unique penta-lens camera setup on the back (with a sixth Time-of-Flight sensor thrown in for good measure) proved to be redundant, frustratingly slow, and unstable.
For its part, HMD seemed to quickly acknowledge the many flaws and imperfections of its most powerful handset yet, selling it at mid-range prices through major retailers like Best Buy, B&H Photo Video, and Amazon just a few months after its commercial debut. With a sequel reportedly delayed until next year, the Nokia 9 PureView is back in the spotlight today, shining brighter than ever before as it goes further down from an already reduced price of 400 bucks to... $0.
That's right, Best Buy is essentially giving away the phone for free without you having to enter any lottery or win a contest of any sort. All you need to do is activate the Nokia 9 PureView at the time of your purchase on AT&T. Curiously enough, it appears only upgrading customers of the nation's second-largest wireless service provider are currently eligible for this (literally) unbeatable deal, while those looking to open an altogether new account and those activating a new line of service have to cough up $350 upfront.

Usually, it's the other way around, with the biggest discounts available for new subscribers, but the special offer is still pretty fresh, having kicked off earlier today and not being a part (at least officially) of the retailer's upcoming Black Friday frenzy, so perhaps it'll be extended before long.
If you qualify for it, there's really no arguing with the wow factor of this truly amazing deal, letting you pay absolutely nothing for a device expected to get Android 10 any day now while sporting a 6-inch P-OLED display with a top-notch resolution of 2880 x 1440 pixels (and no actual notch), as well as 6GB RAM, 128GB storage space, a 20MP selfie shooter, a fast-charging 3,320mAh battery, and a premium body made from glass and aluminum to withstand water and dust contact.
