Hasselblad camera owners using Android can now review, edit, organize, and export images through Phocus Mobile. The move ends a 16-year period in which the mobile application had been available only within the iOS ecosystem.
The Android release gives supported camera owners a mobile workspace without relying on an iPhone. It also arrives six years after Phocus Mobile 2 was released for iPhone.
Mobile Workflow for Supported Cameras
Phocus Mobile for Android supports the Hasselblad X2D II, X2D 100C, and 907X & CFV 100C. Owners of those models can transfer images to the application through Wi-Fi or a USB-C cable.
| Camera model | Android app support |
|---|---|
| Hasselblad X2D II | Supported |
| Hasselblad X2D 100C | Supported |
| Hasselblad 907X & CFV 100C | Supported |
Once transferred, photographs can be reviewed and arranged before further processing. The application can export images as JPG, TIFF, HEIF, 3FR, and RAW files.
Its editing adjustments include exposure, curves, white balance, monochrome correction, and lens correction. Users can also apply noise reduction, sharpening, cropping, rotation, and keystone correction.
Edits can be applied in batches when several photographs require similar adjustments. This reduces the need to repeat the same settings image by image.
AI Noise Reduction for 100 MP RAW Files
The Android application includes AI-based RAW noise reduction for high-ISO photography in low-light conditions. Hasselblad estimates that processing a 100 MP RAW file takes about 15 to 20 seconds.
Users can select between two processing approaches, depending on whether a cleaner image or retained fine texture is the priority. Purity Mode focuses on reducing noise, while Detail Mode keeps luminance noise to preserve delicate detail.
| Mode | Priority | Result character |
|---|---|---|
| Purity Mode | Noise reduction | Cleaner photograph |
| Detail Mode | Retains luminance noise | Fine detail is better preserved |
Colour and HDR Preview
Hasselblad has integrated its Hasselblad Natural Color Solution, known as HNCS, into the mobile application. The system is designed to retain colour, tonal gradation, and highlight detail from preview through export.
On Android devices that support HDR, HDR images from the X2D II 100C can show richer shadow detail, bright highlights, and colour gradations. Hasselblad said the output offers “intricate shadow detail, luminous highlights, and color gradations that closely match what the eye sees”.
This emphasis on display consistency matters for photographers assessing high-resolution images on a phone screen. The mobile display is intended to function as an editing space rather than only a preview window.
According to GSMArena, the application now covers the workflow from file review to export on Android. For users of the three supported Hasselblad cameras, Phocus Mobile extends the company’s image-processing tools to a platform that had previously been excluded.
