Yes, it is. But in certain situations (scene shots at night) where the Xenon flash will not come into play, the 920 should provide a better result. Also, in the case of video, the OIS is a big plus. Of course, the 808 provides lossless zoom, which is pretty amazing. As well, the large sensor PureView approach with the 808 means low light noise is greatly reduced. All around, the 808 defintely has the better camera..it's just in certain use cases where the 920's camera has specific design advantages.

I think next year night be a l'le too soon to see them together in one. Maybe be in 2 years?

Yes. Light works the same in Korea as it does in Finland.

Wrong!
Nokia's homeland is Finland and this video was taken in Russia's capital Moscow.

Sorry was supposed to thumb up.
PA, when can we have the option to un-vote something? Especially with the up/down being so close?

I agree we can't compare Nokia 808 PureView with Nokia Lumia 920, Nokia Lumia 920 is much better.

not really mate, there 2 differant ways to do a camera cant compare then

the 808 focuses on oversampling and getting noiseless pictures and the lossless zoom which is a great feature-pureview phase 1

the 920 is about excellent low light pics and stabilty thanks to that floating lens -pureview phase 2

both have there merits

so back to your comment the 920 isnt better

You see you have miss one vital thing, I was talking not only about camera, I was talking overall device!
I was talking about whole device and OS and in my opinion Nokia Lumia 920 is better than Nokia 808 PureView. ;)

Nokia could survive on royalties alone, profit on just R&D, but they choose to make the best consumer phones in the world.

"What a joke why would you not use flash..."

Because this test was not about that.

WP is also strong OS and I dont think that Nokia will fade away just because of WP.

Dude, when you use flash the object at the center comes out bright and clear but the rest of the room comes out darker.

"...unlike Samsung's cheap plastic..."

"But I've decided that if HTC, samsung or LG don't make a decent looking aluminum phone in the next month then I'm going with apple or the 920..."

Samsung Galaxy S III and Nokia Lumia 920 body are made of the same as you call it "cheap plastic" (Polycarbonate). The difference is that Lumia's 920 body is made of monolith peace of plastic while Galaxy's S III body is not monolith.

920's i tot its plastic like ceramic.. something like that

83. PhoneArenaUser posted on 22 Sep 2012, 12:16 0 0

Maybe I'm wrong, maybe Lumia's 920 body isn't fully monolith like a Lumia's 900 but it is still made of Polycarbonate.

Dude, it's already proven that Polycarbonate is a lot more resistant than the plastic and aluminium used on smartphones.

1. Polycarbonate already is a plastic.
2. I didn't said that Polycarbonate is bad material for smartphones.

P.S.

I have found official source which proves that it will have bluetooth 4.0. :)
Sad but, I was misled by the official Nokia's web page. :(
