Today, Adobe has brought some new updates to the Lighroom Mobile app for Android users. The biggest: the Lightroom camera now lets you shoot in Adobe DNG RAW–then edit the RAW files right on your phone. In addition to this, you’ll get new presets, split toning, Point Curve Mode in Tone Curve which also gives access to the RGB curves, Dehaze, and the ability to tune the colors of a specific area.

Sounds pretty powerful, right? It surely is. When combined with Moment or Iris lenses, it’s bound to make your phone into an absolutely killer camera. At the same time though, let’s just hope it doesn’t completely fry your processor or murder your battery.

You can download Lightroom for free from the Google Play store right now. Sample images are after the jump.
