Nokia has Launched this spring the Nokia 9 PureView with a unique five-camera main-camera design. The multi-camera module is strikingly different from others on the market. All five cameras are active all the time where three of them capture monochrome images. A custom-designed co-processor combines the images for the final result.

With the Nokia 9, we are capable of either using multiple camera modules with the same exposure to enhance detail or with varied exposures for improved dynamic range. By default, the device chooses its specific mode automatically based on the scene and light levels. Nokia also claims that the Time of Flight sensor makes it possible to estimate depth accurately from as close as seven centimeters to a far distance of 40 meters.
