71. Muzhhur posted on 08 Mar 2013, 10:17 4

not, this site is just for the best devices, and the nokia's trio has no match

122. the_best (limited) yesterday, 01:37 posted on 09 Mar 2013, 05:17

im gettin tired of seeing these photots of Lumia 920 taken by some damn idiot!
you cant take pictures with "auto options", this is more like a real camera you need to change your options when taking differnt kinds of photos.

126. StreetNerd posted on 09 Mar 2013, 07:37

im not a Nokia fanboi,,, im using a HTC....

anyways just look at those pictures....u can see those Xperia Z pictures are horrible

are u blind or something? :/

146. qjphone posted on 11 Mar 2013, 19:19

well Nokia's specialty is their camera tech so this isn't even a fair comparison.

27. tusshharish posted on 08 Mar 2013, 08:12 27

nokia still best in imaging.......................... ..

N8 is three years old and smashes xperia.

How great is Nokia !!!

81. akki20892 posted on 08 Mar 2013, 10:50 13

that's my phone dude........i'm using n8 right now.......!!! Nokia product quality last forever....!!!

51. EXkurogane posted on 08 Mar 2013, 08:57 8

I was expecting Xperia to lose without even looking at the photos first, at least to 808 and N8. No matter what kind of fancy sensor or pixel count, it will still lose as long the CMOS sensor size is small. 808 = 1/1.2, N8 = 1/1.83, there are no other phones with this kind of sensor size. Even Galaxy Camera is only 1/2.3 or something around that value.

55. ubuntu posted on 08 Mar 2013, 09:06 5

xperia z is not bad at all. personality, it look better than nokia lumia 920 for most zooming photos.
808>X-Z>n8>920>X-S

65. rodkurt posted on 08 Mar 2013, 09:56 10

yeah, what happened to the 13.1MP...

101. RiseAgainst94 posted on 08 Mar 2013, 11:57 4

Wasn't even close like I expected it to be. Oh well, the rest of the device is pure class.

112. -box- posted on 08 Mar 2013, 18:43

I'm disappointed by Sony. I really expected a closer comparison and better result from their renowned cameras. Nokia definitely wins this round, and likely will for years to come. The N8 proves Nokia is at least 3 years ahead of anyone else.

Nokia 808 Pure S H I T

i hate people like you. cant accept facts

97. drkuthan posted on 08 Mar 2013, 11:31 1

808 can only do photo and video that's all
the ancient symbian can't keep up even get close to android and ios
sorry but ...

103. chaoticrazor posted on 08 Mar 2013, 12:01 5

really explain?

because ive never felt left behind with my 808 compared to my mates iphone 4s and countless android phones. sure they have better ecosystems way ahead in that area but symbian can still keep up on general use

100. tusshharish posted on 08 Mar 2013, 11:57 10

he is fustrated by seeing that nokia pureview beats everyone..........

147. qjphone posted on 11 Mar 2013, 19:26

nokia fanboys can't accept the facts that Nokia phones are only good for their cameras. Everything else if was on par with the others their stock won't be at $3 and change.

24. Nathan_ingx posted on 08 Mar 2013, 08:08 15

...and you're full of it!
Clearly you can see from the first set of pictures that the Z has muddy detail...if i'm not wrong, it has the muddiest detail of all.
808>N8>920>Z±S.

60. SamsungFan posted on 08 Mar 2013, 09:31 2

Nokia 808 > galaxy camera > nokia n8 > htc one > lumia 920
This is the truth. Accept it nokia trolls. I accepted 808 has the best camera

64. Nathan_ingx posted on 08 Mar 2013, 09:49 17

Yo dawg! Stick to the topic... There's no Galaxy camera and HTC one in the comparison! Shake your head, rub your eyes and see.
Besides 720>HTC one!

85. akki20892 posted on 08 Mar 2013, 11:03 3

right dude 100%

90. dexter_jdr posted on 08 Mar 2013, 11:08 7

actually its 920>720> htc one.

ive seen youtube videos

77. ebubekir26 posted on 08 Mar 2013, 10:38 10

I love Samsung,
but Nokia is the best in cameraphones
808 just killed the test
and the Nokia N8 a 3year old phone beat Xperia Z
legend, (i also had an nokia N8) :)

86. akki20892 posted on 08 Mar 2013, 11:04 3

i have right now.........it's amazing

148. qjphone posted on 11 Mar 2013, 19:27

true you are very much correct.

143. Dastrix posted on 10 Mar 2013, 11:24

My thoughts exactly! Honestly, I was expecting much better results from the Xperia Z, given its supposedly superior Exmor RS sensor. The pictures look ridiculously blurry. They even cared to add a posterization processing effect to make it worse, as if the pictures weren't muddy enough. That is a joke. Clear pictures demand for clear winners, and clearly, them Nokias rule!

26. xperiaDROID (limited) 6 days ago posted on 08 Mar 2013, 08:10

Just because of Symbian?

61. xperiaDROID (limited) 6 days ago posted on 08 Mar 2013, 09:35 1

Dude, go find an optician.

84. akki20892 posted on 08 Mar 2013, 11:01 3

116. chaoticrazor posted on 08 Mar 2013, 20:06 1

troll go play with your crayons and leave the adults to talk

why bother coming back or comment you add nothing

3. jubbing posted on 08 Mar 2013, 07:38 7

They kinda all look bad in one picture or another. Just bring a DSLR, make your life easier if you really want to 'zoom' in and take pictures.

10. No_Nonsense posted on 08 Mar 2013, 07:47 17

So then, we should get a calculator, a GPS system, a laptop, a router and everything else along with a large backpack. While I'm not denying the fact that a DSLR will give a better picture, the fact is that most people have the phone as their only camera most of the time. This is where the 808 kicks in, and while the videos and pictures are incredibly stable on PV phase 2, the quality as similar to that of the average smartphone. Low light images are better than that of the other smartphones but it certain times just makes the scene too bright.

23. jubbing posted on 08 Mar 2013, 08:05 9

Not everyone wants s**tty Symbian.

30. Nathan_ingx posted on 08 Mar 2013, 08:24 11

It seems like you don't know much...
Symbian out-lived most operating systems there was! It was the best looking and multi-functional OS. Unlike Samsung, LG and most of the OEM's (that embraced Android later) whose proprietary OS looked like video games of yesteryears!
Have respect to something that started it all.

140. jubbing posted on 10 Mar 2013, 04:29

You must be an idiot who knows nothing if you think Symbian ever looked pretty. It's ugly.

32. chaoticrazor posted on 08 Mar 2013, 08:25 11

whats wrong with symbian?

not everyone needs thousands of apps plus symbian offers excellent customization which you android lot love bragging about and runs smooth without the need for quadcore

93. dexter_jdr posted on 08 Mar 2013, 11:19 2

going out off topic motherf**ker!

excuses...

139. jubbing posted on 10 Mar 2013, 04:29

Your mum's an excuse.

149. qjphone posted on 11 Mar 2013, 19:30

I thought nobody wanted symbian? Nokia still makes beast cameraphones but great cameras are not enough. The experience needs to be great. I hope Nokia EOS is godlike otherwise I am done with nokia and I will just get a DSLR and a xperia or samsung or any high-end WP8 or android device.

4. harshithh posted on 08 Mar 2013, 07:41 5

dis is becoz the camera person has taken pics by zooming in the camera for sony xperia z but not for other mobile. if they r also zoomed in thier result will be even more horrible than xperia z!!!!

7. No_Nonsense posted on 08 Mar 2013, 07:43 5

The field of view for Xperia Z is smaller than what it is for the other phones, so your point is? That's why it seems the pictures are zoomed in.

12. Andrea (banned) posted on 08 Mar 2013, 07:49 2

Liers.

53. EXkurogane posted on 08 Mar 2013, 08:59 7

Ever heard of wide angle lens before? Nokia's lenses are wider. Do your research before talking c0ck as if you know a lot about cameras. The lens on Nokia has a wider field.

14. chaoticrazor posted on 08 Mar 2013, 07:50 12

you obviously no nothing, as said already the field of view is smaller on the xperia Z

but doesnt matter as this site has gone downhill thanks to the comment section. honestly a camera shootout and half on here are so blinded they make excuses or just hate on anything nokia even when it clearly excels in this area. the 808 indisputably is the best camera phone proven time and time again. yet look at the android fanboys trying there hardest to say otherwise.

pathetic
