what's up guys lon here from Android Thor T and welcome back to another episode of camera 360 where we attempt to break down a smartphone camera in three minutes give or take now our goal on this show is to highlight some of the most important aspects of a smartphone camera that we think you should know and we try to do it in a very short and sweet fashion now if you guys are interested in a more in-depth analysis you can always check out the written version of our review which will always be linked in the description below now that we've gotten that out of the way let's get into today's episode with the nokia 9p review what makes the Nokia 9s camera such a headlining feature is the fact that it has 5 cameras six if you count the 20 megapixel front facing camera the nokia 9s rear camera array are all 12 megapixel cameras with to being RGB and the remaining three all being monochrome for capturing tons and tons of data all of this extra data makes the nokia 9 cameras a great option for serious mobile photographers who don't mind putting in the work to get the desired results for the casual photographer it's a little bit of a different story and not everything about the Nokia 9s camera experience is sunshine and roses the camera apps UI and layout is fine and navigating your way around the different modes and settings is similar to most other camera apps the biggest issue is how incredibly sluggish the experience feels which has gotten better with some software updates from Nokia but not by much if it wasn't 40 consistently slow behavior with launching the camera or switching between modes the camera app would be great not to mention the time it takes to process an image is painstakingly long but I suppose that's the price you have to pay for how much data is being processed with each photo if you're letting the camera do the heavy lifting the results don't provide much to complain about exposure is spot-on white balance is consistently accurate and colors are not washed out or muted but they don't necessarily pop the Nokia 9 seems to go for a more true-to-life approach the camera is strong in daylight conditions with good sharpness and shadow detail thanks to the five cameras and of course its HDR image processing HDR on the nokia 9p review does well with pulling out tons of extra detail in dark areas of a scene and it does extremely well with taming highlights on a bright sunny day you might remember the same shot from our LG g 8 camera review which also had HDR enabled but didn't handle the highlights nearly as well at a glance the Nokia 9 slow at shots do look quite good exposure white balance and colors again are all spot-on if you look a little closer you will find that there's quite a bit of softening that's applied to most likely help with noise but generally the Nokia 9 performs fairly well in darker conditions for selfie purposes the 20 megapixel front shooter produces pretty solid results the front camera captures a lot of detail and texture in skin which is a big plus because this isn't always the case with smartphone front facing cameras colors are a little bit on the muted side and highlights on bright backgrounds can get blown out pretty easily but the results overall are acceptable the nokia 9 isn't a video recording beast but you can't record 4k video at 30fps although a 60 FPS option would have been nice for a more fluid looking video and a little more flexibility with slowing footage down in post exposure is handled fairly well when recording video but the camera does take a while to adjust to varying levels of light when panning around image stabilization also isn't the greatest especially when recording at 4k overall the Nokia 9 pier view is a more than capable camera but it doesn't exactly stand out or go beyond the competition at least not when it comes to casual use the cameras real potential lies in its raw images and post-production edits which isn't going to appeal to everyone we gave the Nokia 9p review a score of seven point five out of ten if you want to see a detailed breakdown of the score or find out some more in depth details on our thoughts about the Nokia nine puce cameras check out our written review in the description below thanks for watching and stay tuned for the next episode of camera sixty
