HMD Global, the Finnish company that makes Nokia smartphones, has come out with the world’s first five-camera smartphone with ZEISS Optics. The five cameras will be working simultaneously on every shot. The penta-camera model, Nokia 9 PureView, was unveiled at the ongoing World Mobile Congress 2019 on Sunday in Barcelona, Spain. The Nokia 9 India price is likely to be under Rs 50,000.

Boasting of wireless charging and under display fingerprint sensor, Nokia 9 PureView claims to produce images in high dynamic range (HDR) with the five cameras simultaneously capturing the image and fusing it together into one 12 megapixel photo.

“Working in perfect unison, the five 12 MP cameras collect up to 10 times more light than a single smartphone camera color1 sensor,” says Nokia, adding that the photos come with “superb dynamic range that capture detail and texture from both the highlights and shadows, plus incredible depth-of-field and vibrant, truest-to-life color”.

A statement issued by Nokia says the smartphone also features the ability to capture images in uncompressed Raw DNG (digital negative) format and edit them directly on the phone using Adobe Lightroom.
