Nokia's brand new smartphone is triggering people with a rare phobia.
The PureView's cutting-edge design, which was recently unveiled at Barcelona's Mobile World Congress 2019, boasts a ‘penta-camera’ with five lenses.
The photos captured by the device are said to have a resolution of up to 240 megapixels thanks to the clever combination system from the five sensors.
But the function's layout is proving problematic for sufferers of trypophobia: a little-known aversion to irregular patterns or clusters of small holes.

The PureView's cutting-edge design, which was recently unveiled at Barcelona's Mobile World Congress 2019, boasts a ‘penta-camera’ with five lenses which has triggered some people
According to a report in Metro, a number of people have voiced their concerns on Twitter.
Noel R. Mayer, who tweets as Noel The Walrus, wrote: ‘Yo, @NokiaMobile! Google #trypophobia before you design your new phone, please. It’s all over the tech sites, triggering panic attacks.
‘These Nokia 9 pictures have to come with a trypophobia warning!’ roared games designer Ishan Manjrekar. ‘I feel bit uneasy looking at them.’
‘This phone makes my skin crawl,’ wrote Deanna Williams on Twitter.
Dr Geoff Cole, a senior lecturer at the University of Essex’s Centre for Brain Research, told Metro he published the first academic paper on trypophobia.
‘When a person takes a picture of you, the camera on this phone could fall roughly at a distance and alignment which could trigger a trypophobic response,’ he said.
‘The camera really does have the structure to cause trypophobia.’
This Twitter user, from Thailand, expressed similar concern for the phone's camera function and compared it with another problematic image
Dozens of people have voiced their concer ns about the smartphone device on social media, with several detailing their criticisms on Twitter

Most smartphone developers are focusing on the introduction of foldable devices and 5G applications - making Nokia's pursuit of a camera-orientated handset a unique endeavour.
Samsung, Huawei and Xiaomi have all announced 5G compatible devices ahead of a its expected widespread roll-out next year.
Huawei announced today its Mate X foldable device which comes with a staggering price tag of $2,229 (£2,000).
Samsung pipped its rivals to the post by revealing its latest products - including the Fold - last week.
WHAT IS 5G?
The evolution of the G system started in 1980 with the invention of the mobile phone which allowed for analogue data to be transmitted via phone calls.
Digital came into play in 1991 with 2G and SMS and MMS capabilities were launched.
Since then, the capabilities and carrying capacity for the mobile network has increased massively.
More data can be transferred from one point to another via the mobile network quicker than ever.
5G is expected to be launched in 2020 and will be up to 1,000 times faster than the currently used 4G.
Whilst the jump from 3G to 4G was most beneficial for mobile browsing and working, the step to 5G will be so fast they become almost real-time.
That means mobile operations will be just as fast as office-based internet connections.
Potential uses for 5g include:
- Simultaneous translation of several languages in a party conference call
- Self-driving cars can stream movies, music and navigation information from the cloud
- A full length 8GB film can be downloaded in six seconds.
5G is expected to be so quick and efficient it is possible it could start the end of wired connections.
By the end of 2020, industry estimates claim 50 billion devices will be connected to 5G.
The evolution of from 1G to 5G. The predicted speed of 5G is more than 1Gbps - 1,000 times greater than the existing speed of 4G and could be implemented in laptops of the future

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
