Taking photos in RAW format is essential for serious mobile photographers. Unlike standard JPEG images, RAW files retain all the unprocessed data captured by your phone's sensor. This gives you maximum flexibility when editing, allowing for more detailed adjustments to exposure, shadows, highlights, and color. If you own a Nothing Phone (3) and want to step up your photography game, here's how to quickly enable RAW capture.

Follow these simple steps in the camera app to ensure your photos are saved in the versatile RAW format:

  1. Open the Camera App and Select 'More'
