Comparison review
Nokia 9 PureView has a general score of 76.4, which is a little bit better than the Lumia 950's 74.1 overall score. The Nokia 9 PureView body is incredibly newer and just a little bit thinner than Lumia 950's, but it's somewhat heavier. The Nokia 9 PureView counts with a quite better performance than Lumia 950, because it has a larger amount of RAM memory and a greater number of cores.
The Microsoft Lumia 950 has just a bit better screen than Nokia 9 PureView, because although it has a quite smaller screen and a little lower resolution of 2560 x 1440 pixels, it also counts with a quite higher display density. The Nokia 9 PureView features a bigger memory to install applications and games than Lumia 950, because although it has no SD memory slot, it also counts with 96 GB more internal memory.
The Lumia 950 features a little bit better camera than Nokia 9 PureView, because although it has a smaller aperture which is not favorable for low light photos and video, and they both have the same video frame rates and the same 3840x2160 video resolution, the Lumia 950 also counts with a much more mega pixels back camera and a larger sensor which gives a better photo and video quality.
The Nokia 9 PureView counts with just a bit longer battery duration than Microsoft Lumia 950, because it has 3320mAh of battery capacity against 3000mAh.
Although Nokia 9 PureView is a better device, it costs a lot more than the Lumia 950, and it doesn't have such a good quality/price relation as the Lumia 950. If you are trying to save some money, you can get the Lumia 950, and give up a few features and specifications, but you'll get the most with your savings.
