Of course, the biggest highlight of this smartphone is its five rear ZEISS certified lenses. All lenses have a resolution of 12MP (f/1.8 aperture), and they are controlled by a dedicated ASIC chip, which can provide a secondary focus and an ultra-high dynamic range. Unlike many multi-camera phones on the market, the five camera sensors work together to capture light and collect depth data to create a powerful photo. Nokia promises 12.4 stops of dynamic range, which is quite impressive for a smartphone. In terms of graphics, the Nokia 9 PureView can capture images in RAW (DNG) format. So you can edit photos with the upgraded Nokia Pro Photo mode and Adobe Photoshop/Lightroom. The machine supports unique shooting modes such as local black and white, time-lapse photography, and more. When the user takes a picture, the five cameras will take different exposure photos at the same time, and then combine the co-processor (ASIC chip) and multi-frame synthesis algorithm to output higher quality photos.
