The phone can shoot in RAW but you can turn it off. Nokia 9 PureView can identify over 1,200 layers and uses it to make a detailed depth map for taking clearer photos. On the front, there is an 8 MP camera which can be used for face unlock.Inside the phone comes with Snapdragon 845 SoC, 6 GB RAM and 128 GB storage.
