Nokia 9 PureView - Five Cameras on Nokia's Latest Phone -What is importance to photography

Nokia introduced a new flagship phone called Nokia 9 PureView that is packed with professional photography features.



The growing number of cameras on the back of our smartphones is not a new thing; all the leading manufacturers have more than one. Although the shocking five cameras placed on the back of the Nokia 9 PureView changes everything we knew about mobile photography.

The reason behind installing multiple cameras is usually to cover a wide range of focal lengths, giving the user the feeling of having a zoom-lens attached to their phones.

What is unique in the Nokia 9 PureView is that there is two color image sensors, each of them with a resolution of 12 megapixels, and three black-and-white sensors with the same 12 megapixels each with an f1.8 maximum aperture.

The phone takes a shot simultaneously with all five of its cameras then the image processing unit puts them together into one high-resolution image.

The results make you forget your DSLR at home. 

Nokia claims to capture ten times more light than most of its contenders with the unique combination of the five sensors. That results in less noisy images crisping in from of our eyes with crystal clear sharpness and tons of dynamic range.

The 9 PureView has the capability to shoot in RAW format, giving the user all the data to process and adjust in post-production, just like professional cameras do. So instead of the limited and already ‘optimized’ JPEG, enthusiasts can tinker with the large, 30MB files.

That won't challenge the hardware developers have packed under the five cameras and the 5.9-inch screen on the other side: there is an octa-core processor and 6GB of RAM to ensure that editing those large files wouldn’t be a rough cut.
