N9

N9 is an alphanumeric designation used in various contexts to label products, models, and identifiers. The most widely known reference is the Nokia N9, a smartphone released in 2011 by Nokia that ran the MeeGo-based Harmattan operating system.

Designed by Nokia to showcase MeeGo, the N9 featured a unibody polycarbonate chassis, a 3.9-inch AMOLED display, and a gesture-driven user interface that relied on swipes rather than physical buttons. It supported a single 8-megapixel rear camera and carried 16 GB of internal storage. The device used a 1 GHz processor and 512 MB of RAM, and offered wireless connectivity customers expect at the time. The N9 was released in limited markets and did not launch under the Nokia brand in the U.S.; it became notable for its polished hardware and software experience but arrived amid Nokia's strategic shift toward Windows Phone. Sales were modest compared with contemporary Android and iOS devices, and Nokia ended MeeGo development after the N9’s release, with the N9 remaining the only major MeeGo smartphone to reach wide consumer availability.

Beyond Nokia, N9 appears as a designation in other domains, including product codes and model identifiers, but those uses are less prominent in consumer tech coverage. In context, N9 most often refers to the Nokia device.
