the 720 is better than one and 920.

In terms of noise and color reproduction, it would seem that 920 and 720 beat the one.

What I am wondering is that could that result be attributed to the software side - the post-processing of the image by the phone?

If yes, would it make a difference if a third-party camera app (which does not post-process the image captured) is installed on the phones to be tested for a pure comparison based on the camera - the hardware itself?

I am not sure about this, so please correct me if I am wrong.

Thanks!

HTC really is the One... the one who failed... Even the Lumia 720 has better pic quality in low light...

Nokia lumia 920 and 720 won definitely.

Ha ha HTC you've done it again. But to be fair guys, the HTC One takes great pictures in favorable lighting. Just don't expect the 920 to be dethroned in low light and maybe, the final production units will be just a tad better.

A couples of days ago I started playing with the Exposure Value on the L920. Results showed that if you up the exposure value, you get more brightness in picture but loss in pic quality. You can see this with the One. You can still get same brightness as the One with graininess. With stock setting on both, L920 literally crushed the One. Nice try HTC. When the One fails as with every other top end end phone you've produced, you can bring ultrapix and try it on WP. But don't until you consult with Nokia.

Still not bad for a 4mp camera and take betta low light pics than 13mp camera phones. The fact is Nokia is still king

I wonder why htc didn't go with 8 megapixel or say ultrapixel...than they might have better picture quality alongwith more light to it...

android fans should be terminated before their birth.
A few eeks ago they would kill you if you dared to say something bad on sony z and now they're defending htc one to death.
It's sad and pathetic.
androtrolls...look at those pictures...if you can't see the difference you're either androfans or blind. Nokia's picture is far more detailed without this nasty grain and smudges. Nice try htc, but it's not your time. Keep trying. Don't rise your hand on mobilecamera's God.

What I see is pretty simple, do you as user prefer brightness at the cost of noise? Because that is what shown here in the videos!!

i think the real comparison should be between the lumia 920 and the 720 . it's true that the htc one is brighter than the lumia 920 but without details the 920 went for darker and more detailed photo which is better

Yes, +1 to Nokia in lowlight.

For all its marketing hype, HTC One's 4MP "ultrapixel" camera is inferior to the Nokia Lumia 920's OIS and the Lumia 720's large aperture. Sorry HTC One. The phone's remaininf edge against over other high-end android competitors is its unique design. Can't wait for Samsung's GS4.

a question from htc............. why dont htc collaborate with CARL ZEISS LENS... COMPANY???? this is the best way to explore and invent new technology for cameras.htc make damn good phones but only lack in camera performence, so my view is ... they should iniciate this soon. good luck nyways

one thing you have to keep in mind is that the One has a lcd display while the nokias have LED displays. it makes a huge difference when viewing images. especially in low light conditions. i think the best way to compare the images is to view them on a pc monitor or something.
