Every shot taken by the Nokia 9 PureView uses all five cameras to capture at least 60MP of imaging data. To process and fuse the images Nokia 9 PureView has maximised the heterogenous computing architecture of the Qualcomm® Snapdragon™ mobile platform assigning tasks across ISP, DSP, GPU and CPU. Featuring a dedicated imaging co-processor that individually adjusts exposure and white balance on each camera across the scene, the Nokia 9 PureView gives you a glimpse into the future of smartphone photography.
Sarah Edge, General Manager UK and Ireland said: “People in the UK want to be able to take top quality images that capture every detail on their smartphone; be it of stunning scenery or a picture-perfect brunch. Designed with photographers in mind, the Nokia 9 PureView delivers these atmospheric shots by utilising the great depth of field which captures 1,200 layers, dynamic range, as well as native black and white imaging.”
Exceptional detail and dynamic range
Every image captured on the Nokia 9 PureView is HDR, with up to 12.4 stops of dynamic range and a full scene 12MP depth map. This means each 12MP JPG image benefits from outstanding detail in areas of both bright sunlight and shade.
