Hasselblad Brings Phocus Mobile to Android
Phocus Mobile for Android extends the Hasselblad mobile workflow with Hasselblad Natural Color Solution, Hasselblad Natural Noise Reduction, a comprehensive editing toolkit and streamlined photo management.
Hasselblad is pleased to announce that Phocus Mobile V1.0.0 for Android is now available[1] for the X2D II 100C, X2D 100C and 907x & CFV 100C. Long requested by the Hasselblad community, the Android release brings the Hasselblad mobile imaging workflow to a broader community of photographers.

The End-to-End Hncs Mobile Experience
Phocus Mobile for Android brings the end-to-end Hasselblad Natural Color Solution experience to Android. True-to-life colors, smooth tonal gradation and rich highlight detail are preserved from preview through final export. Photographers can review and edit images away from the desktop, knowing the natural color and tonal precision of their images are preserved throughout the mobile workflow.
On HDR-supported Android devices[2], HDR images captured with the X2D II 100C reveal the full spectrum of HNCS HDR, with intricate shadow detail, luminous highlights and color gradations that closely match what the eye sees. In addition to standard editing tools, the app supports precise HDR highlight adjustment, giving photographers greater control when refining high-contrast images.
HDR images captured with the X2D II 100C, as well as Raw images from the X2D II 100C, X2D 100C and 907x & CFV 100C, can be previewed, edited and exported in the app. HDR images can be exported as Ultra HDR JPG, while Raw images can be exported as Ultra HDR JPG or HDR TIFF.
Hasselblad Natural Noise Reduction for High ISO Photography
Hasselblad Natural Noise Reduction is now available in Phocus Mobile for Android.[3] When shooting at high ISO settings for low-light or night photography, the AI-powered Raw noise reduction solution produces cleaner, more natural-looking images while preserving fine image detail. Calibrated and optimised for Hasselblad medium format sensors and trained on hundreds of thousands of Hasselblad images, HNNR reduces noise in 100-megapixel Raw images in approximately 15 to 20 seconds.
Two processing modes are available. Purity Mode prioritises noise suppression for the cleanest possible result, making it ideal for most scenes. Detail Mode preserves luminance noise to better retain micro-textures and fine image detail. Both modes work seamlessly with Hasselblad Natural Color Solution to preserve the signature natural colors, color fidelity and smooth tonal gradation in every image.
HNNR is especially beneficial for the 907x & CFV 100C, which does not feature in-body image stabilisation, expanding handheld shooting possibilities in low-light conditions.
Professional Mobile Editing and Photo Management
Phocus Mobile for Android combines a comprehensive editing toolkit with streamlined photo preview and management. A full suite of editing tools -- including exposure adjustment, curves, white balance, monochrome correction, lens correction, noise reduction, sharpening, cropping, rotation and keystone correction -- provides precise control directly from an Android device. Edit settings can also be copied and applied in batches to speed up high-volume editing workflows.
Images can be quickly imported via WiFi or, for supported cameras, a wired USB-C connection.[4] Once imported, images can be organised using star ratings and favourites for faster image selection and review before being exported in JPG, TIFF, HEIF or 3FR Raw formats.
