No terminal 5G or mobile foldable for Nokia (trade mark licensed to the Finnish group HMD Global), or even a reprint of a telephone history as in the past. But two good surprises, with a beautiful update to the smartphone entry-level , 99 € , finally, with a screen of quality, and especially the launch of the first mobile phone equipped with… five cameras.
In the first case, the the Nokia 1 More is distinguished by its display of 5.4 inches (13,7 cm diagonal) format 18/9 in high resolution and the integration of the Android mobile operating system Pie in its Gb version. In the second case, the Nokia 9 Pureview is an elegant pattern of 6 inches (15.2 centimeters diagonal), which is accompanied by a fingerprint sensor underneath the screen, and a facial recognition system. Once returned, we discovered a rosette composed of five lenses, a flash and a sensor telemetry. The five objectives are each associated with a sensor of 12 megapixels. Three of them capture the images in black and white to get the maximum amount of light and the other two are recovering the color information. But all of them are used simultaneously and behave as a single camera, including manual mode.
Several advantages
According to Nokia, this configuration offers many advantages. First, it ensures a greater dynamic range, so black’s more nuanced and more details in the white, as well as a better control of the depth of field. Moreover, we will be able to change the blur effect after you have taken the picture in Google Picture. In addition, the pictures can be saved in RAW format, which allows you to locate all of the shooting information into an editing software professional like Lightroom.
Finally, the five modules that enhance the HDR mode which allows you to balance the contrast of a picture: normally, the camera takes multiple photos in burst mode in each time changing the exposure settings and aperture, then selects the best parts of each image to retain the most faithful. But with the five sensors of the Nokia 9 Pureview, the device triggers at the same time, each photo with different settings, which prevents the appearance of blur if the subject moves between each shot. This beautiful toy will be sold 699 € at the end of march with the wireless headphones of the brand, Earbuds.
