Hasselblad's pro camera app Phocus Mobile finally lands on Android

Professional photographers who shoot with Hasselblad medium-format cameras have been waiting for this. Phocus Mobile, the company’s companion editing app, launched on Android Wednesday — two years after arriving on iOS.

Phocus Mobile for Android supports the X2D 100C, X2D II 100C, and CFV100C cameras. The app requires a device with at least 12GB of RAM — a reasonable floor given that it needs to process 100-megapixel RAW files on a phone.

The Android version brings HNCS HDR, letting photographers view and edit HDR images from the X2D II 100C directly on HDR-capable displays. Exports can go out as Ultra HDR JPEG or HDR TIFF. Also included: HNNR noise reduction, native RAW editing, and a mobile gallery for reviewing shots in the field.

Alongside the app launch, Hasselblad released firmware 1.3.16.1 for the X2D II 100C that enables direct camera-to-Android connectivity for editing with Pixel Cake, a third-party retouching tool widely used in professional Chinese photography workflows.

Phocus Mobile cut its teeth on iOS. Version 2.2.0 arrived in September 2024, adding 10-bit HEIF editing and multi-size JPEG export. The Android release fills a gap that Hasselblad shooters — many of whom carry Android phones — have been asking about since the iOS version debuted.

The X2D II 100C, announced in August 2025, is a medium-format camera packing a 100-megapixel backside-illuminated CMOS sensor, 16-bit color depth, and 15.3 stops of dynamic range. It was the first in the series to include continuous autofocus (AF-C) and 10-stop five-axis in-body image stabilization. Storage is handled by a built-in 1TB SSD.

Its predecessor, the X2D 100C, launched in September 2022 with the same 100MP BSI sensor and internal 1TB SSD. A firmware 2.0 update in June 2023 added touch-to-focus and crop modes.

Phocus Mobile for Android is available now on the Google Play Store.
