Nokia 9 PureView promo videos highlight the advantages of the penta-camera

05 March 2019
The five cameras allow it to capture a more accurate depth map and to perform better in low light too.

The depth map is produced by the ToF sensor.. Google Pixel takes good HDR but using 1 camera to snap multiple pictures and stacked together.. This won't work if the subject/scene is moving.. Using mulitple cameras like Nokia 9 overcomes the single camera HDR limitation

                I could highlight the disadvantages of using an older (but not yet dated) SoC but I don't feel like it.

                  It provides 1200 depths mapping while others are only at mostly 10.
                  It provides rich dynamic range
                  It provides rich detail

                    six_tymes, 05 Mar 2019it looks impressive, no doubt. but if its not using an 855 ... moreFor starters, they had to, because the camera is practically baked with the 845 and they've had to work closely with QC to get it working and 855, still wasn't ready, so if they were to use 855, we still wouldnt see this phone till later in the year.

                    secondly, unless you put the 845 and 855 next to each other with heavy testing, that's when you will notice the small performance improvement. The main benefit the Nokia 9 could use from 855, was the improved processing that makes camera processing faster. The graphic chip boost is only really useful for games etc so not for everyone, 5G is great as it saves battery and obviously better data speeds, but most networks arent ready yet and most people dont know of 5G yet.

                    So, 845 isn't actually a bad thing at all, because it allowed Nokia to price the phone more competitively which is a much better benefit for most people these days.

                      There is automatic mode in this camera so you get nice pictures with it, but is you Are pro photo Person, the raw picture with all that information from 5 separate lens gives you a lot of thing that allow you to make the picture look even better!
                      So Yep, it is for pro photo persons to make really avesome pictures, but normal user should get some benefits from this camara arrangemet Also.

                        Most people don't consider that mobile SoCs have matured nicely, and generational improvement will not bother majority of users. Just as current Intel i5 will not provide noticeable speed increase over previous i5 for most users.

                        855 SoC would be nice, but with explanation about development of custom hardware and its integration with SoC, staying with 845 makes sense. Using a phone with 845 already, faster SoC is very low on my list of wanted improvements. If camera proves to be as promised, this is very likely my next phone.

                          I really want to see the samples as well. It woupd be great to also have a few dng files to play with. Ideally, the awesome camera comparison tool could also show the jpegs out of dngs. THAT would be sweet and really the only thing to show the true quality of the hardware. Many people use third party aps to take pictures, and in that case, you want to see what just the hardware is capable of, because simple stuff like sharpness, contrast, saturation, but sometimes even noise reduction algos can be set up in the third party app...

                            lewein, 05 Mar 2019i'm not gonna lie also, this phone is clearly not intended ... moreYeah, but the HDR and color science are right up my alley. If only it had a wide angle and a telephoto

                              Eagerly awaiting an in-depth review from GSMArena including camera samples !!

I'd assume ordering lots of SD 855's when you already ordered lots of SD 845's to be used in your phone is pretty expensive.
