Nokia 9 PureView
Five-camera computational photography moonshot.
The Nokia 9 PureView is a flagship Nokia smartphone released Mar 2019, with a launch price of $699. It pairs the Snapdragon 845 with a 5.99" QHD+ P-OLED HDR10 display, a 5x 12 MP Zeiss + ToF main camera and a 3320 mAh battery. In SpecEagle's editorial review it scores 65/100 — Computational moonshot. Standout strengths: genuine raw dng with deep dynamic range and p-oled qhd hdr display. Main trade-off: shot processing painfully slow (~10 seconds).
Computational moonshot.
Nokia 9 PureView strapped five Zeiss sensors to a single 5.99" body and merged 12 frames into a single 12-bit DNG. The ambition outran the silicon — processing each frame took 10 seconds — but it set the stage for today's computational photography.
