Five rooms A phone call. The Nokia brand. OK, but what does the Nokia 9 PureView actually do? And more specifically, can he replace a camera?
Nokia 9 PureView is the most anticipated HMD Global phone in recent years. This is the first phone on the market with five pieces at the back. I was curious to see what he could do. The photos are good, they are at the level of those made by more expensive phones, but we must also make compromises for them.
People from HMD Global took pictures of this phone and worked with Nokia 9 in partnership with Zeiss and Light, the company that developed a camera with 16 sensors. Thus, HMD Global offers an interesting proposition for the high-end segment and for people interested in photography.
The ability of smartphones to take pictures has become paramount in the decision of the buyer to buy a product or another. It is understandable that HMD wants to amaze you with the photos of Nokia 9.
Nokia 9. What is the purpose of the five rooms?
Nokia 9 has two color sensors and three are monochrome. All are 12 megapixels with standard 28mm lenses and f / 1.8 aperture. Yes, here we have no zoom sensor or ultra-wide sensor like other companies. However, at the back, there are two other elements: a flight time sensor for depth of field measurement and a dual LED flash.
In this case, the phone uses the five sensors to produce a large image (30- to 40-megapixel RAW files) analyzed by a Lux Capacitor chip to give you a 12-megapixel photo.
Why would you want that? Because you get a picture with more details in the picture and a better picture thanks to the HDR. The five sensors would provide different exposure latitudes, and an image captured with this handset would reach up to 12.4 exposure levels. Giant for a phone.
In addition, the five-camera system comes with a depth of field map for a frame of up to 1,200 levels. This means that you can take a picture and then refocus on the item of your choice.
Monochrome sensors are on a phone because they can surprise more than three times as much detail as conventional RGB color sensors. So much happens in the phone when you try to take a picture.
What is the quality of the pictures taken with Nokia 9
Ready for the photo lesson. How can I take pictures? It's good but difficult. The pictures that the phone removes are very good. In most cases, I was impressed by the quality of the photo exposure and by the number of details captured in an image.
Even in low light situations, it worked very well. At night, Nokia 9 does not take photos as well as Huawei Mate 20 or P30 or Google Pixel, but it's ok.
You also have the option to shoot in RAW. If you are passionate about photography, then you know why it is important to take such pictures. In this way, the image is not processed and you have more flexibility to edit a photo. You can save an "engraved" image or get more details in dark areas.
I should be more excited about the phone, but this is not because the processing of a photo is very long. Almost all the photos you make the processing time are tens of seconds. And if you take several pictures one after the other, the process takes even more magnitude.
Unfortunately, we have received a lot of errors on the camera and, in general, the entire camera application is slow. Even if you do not check the RAW function. When shooting and processing RAW photos, it extends even longer.
On the front there is a 20-megapixel camera, but selfies do not matter. The back is still burned and the subject is under-consumed. For such pictures, you'd better return the phone and have a picture well exposed with details.
Surprisingly, Nokia 9 is doing a good job in video and, although the sensors do not have optical stabilization, the captured image is stable, well exposed and I was impressed by the timelapse function.
Nokia 9, high-end phone
According to specifications, the Nokia 9 has a 6-inch QuadHD + display, a Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 processor, 6 GB of RAM, 128 GB of storage and protection against water and dust. The Nokia 9 also has a battery of 3,320 mAh and uses Android Pie.
As a handset, Nokia 9 is the one that fights in the circle of big boys of Samsung, Huawei or Apple. The screen is very beautiful and it's nice to watch movies or play. You do not have slots and the screen edges are not very big.
Yes, the processor is from last year, but you will not have any problems with an application or a game, and the 6 GB of RAM is enough.
The problem is the storage space, it is only 128 GB and you can not extend it with a microSD card. This is a problem for Nokia 9, because if you choose to shoot RAW format, you should empty your phone frequently because a photo of this type exceeds 40 mega pixels.
The 3,320 milliamp battery is correct and should be large enough for a day of use. The charge is fast at 18 watts. It can also charge wireless to 10 watts.
The Nokia 9 also has a built-in fingerprint sensor on the screen, but it's not very good. Unlike other sensors tested (Mate 20 Pro, P30 Pro, Samsung S10), the Nokia 9 is not very fast and you have to be harder on the screen to turn it on .
The phone is nice to hold and easy to use, but I would have liked the aluminum edge to be integrated into the glass as it feels now to the touch. The same goes for the frame of the ring around the flash.
Love for photography
Overall, Nokia 9 looks like an experiment that has only half the time and may have spent some time in the lab.
I would recommend Nokia 9 to those who are passionate about photography and want a phone that makes good pictures but do not want to give a thousand euros on a Samsung S10, a Huawei P30 Pro or an iPhone Xs Max. But be patient with the photo application.
Granted, HMD Global will continue to collaborate with Light and we will see other phones with five or more cameras. However, for these phones to work properly, it is necessary to reduce the processing time of a photo, increase the flexibility of the photo application and avoid errors.
