Honor 9X has that big 48MP Sony IMX586 sensor which by default shoots Pixel binned 12MP files. The dynamic range is quite good in both 48MP and 12MP modes, but the image quality, in my opinion, is just ok.  So, I thought about shooting DNG RAW files of that 48MP sensor to get the best quality out of 9X. However, that's currently impossible to achieve.  Honor 9X and it's predecessors like 8X, 7X, 6X etc ships with EMUI Lite version. Huawei normally doesn't mention that on the box or you wouldn't notice that while using the phone mainly because there is hardly any noticeable difference between the full EMUI and the lite EMUI.  However, the Lite version does not allow RAW capture in the default camera app. Pro mode is available, but there is no option to toggle raw. One other difference you would notice is that the night mode and light painting modes are locked at 8MPI remember rooting my old Honor 6X and changing a line in an XML file to disable EMUI Lite mode, thu...
