Nokia has dipped the N9 in a glossy white color and announced the smartphone’s introduction in the new hue aimed at those who are sticklers for this particular shade. Besides coloring the N9, or rather draining it of all color, the company has also disclosed the availability of a forthcoming software update for existing users of the device.
The sleek white Nokia N9 now joins its counterparts dressed in shades of black, magenta and cyan. The upcoming software upgrade will arrive with features such as support for music controls keys to operate from the lock screen, closing of apps by swiping them down by default and NFC tag reading.
Frank Zillikens, product marketing head for Nokia N9 stated, “The manufacturing process for beautiful white products is quite complex and we wanted to make sure we deliver the best possible quality for our consumers.”
The button-starved N9 comes equipped with an 8MP AF Carl Zeiss camera possessing a wide-angle lens which lets users shoot videos and photos in HD. It is embedded with a 3.9-inch AMOLED screen made from scratch-resistant curved glass and features an intuitive user interface that can be controlled with a simple swipe.
Users can smoothly share content via the integrated NFC technology and pair the handset with other NFC-enabled devices through a single tap. This Nokia smartphone is incorporated with turn-by-turn drive and walk navigation with voice-guided maps for more than 100 nations in over 50 languages.
The glossy white Nokia N9 will be available from the fourth quarter of 2011 starting with the 64GB version. Users of the smartphone will be able to download the software update by the end of this year.
