mate you need serious help, no matter who you are no one can deny the 808 is the best mobile camera phone. it is miles ahead of the lumia's and the iphone dont come close either

the 808 is function over form, not sacrificing quality for size. plus you seen the sensor the 808 has.

do some research your sounding like a jealous idiot

Yes, it was an article written by some blond on FOX News. I can't remember if it was written by a man or a woman, but it was defintely a dumb blond.

Yeah totally reads like an apple fanboy wrote this article.

In fairness, the apple camera IS a Sony camera, so having an actual Sony device may not have produced vastly different results. That said, I agree, 900 wasn't the best choice, and the article did seem to have a pro-apple slant.

iPhone 5 use CMOS sensor from Sony but remember that camera consist from more parts than only a CMOS sensor also don't forget about software par. ;)

It's a camera comparison. But as eisenbricher says, why no Sony phones?

Why didn't they took the 808 pureview?

21. XiphiasGladius posted on 08 Oct 2012, 08:41 4 0

If I'm correct they've selected phones that are offered by an American Carrier means the 808 is disqualified by default. That cameraphone is from another planet hence it would be unfair to include it in this so called camera comparison. . .

True, plus the 808 is the equivalent to the Hulk, which would dominate everything thrown in its path

27. No_Nonsense posted on 08 Oct 2012, 08:47 5 0

N8 was not offered by any carrier?

No carrier subsidies in the USA for the N8. Just full price / off contract.

As I have stated in my comment #19, I think that iPhone 5 shots relatively good pictures just "Purple Halo" effect ruin everything.

74. darkkjedii posted on 08 Oct 2012, 10:22 4 0

That's true u did

63. jroc74 posted on 08 Oct 2012, 09:55 7 0

I also think the iPhone 5 took good pics and videos, and overall it probably did the best job. I wouldnt have called it unanimous like the writer of the article did, cuz to my untrained, unprofessional eye the GS3, One X and Nokia phone did good in some areas.

64. PhoneArenaUser posted on 08 Oct 2012, 09:56 4 2

I have received two warnings from him because of talks in this article about "Purple Halo" effect which is fact admitted by Apple. :(

72. XiphiasGladius posted on 08 Oct 2012, 10:19 3 1

He did that? LMFAO!

73. PhoneArenaUser posted on 08 Oct 2012, 10:20 3 1

Yes.

OMG! Now all this Android Fanatics accusing PhoneArena of being an iPhoneFan, LOL

What's wrong with you, just accept the Facts!
iPhone 5 is the BEST & WINNER! (^_~)

135. chaoticrazor posted on 09 Oct 2012, 07:30 1 1

well no one can accept the iphone is the best and the winner due to the simple fact it isnt

it would be like me saying the nokia 808 has the most apps available for it...........complete bs just like the iphone is

iPhone over saturates the picture and sharpens it as most believe over saturated colour is better then natural colour. as this is a camera comparison this is important.

but just include sony or the 808 and see how poor the iphone is to them in the camera department

Not available on any US carrier yet...

although the Xperia ION sure is!

''four of the biggest stars in the smartphone world right now "

well arguably the 808 is a star of the smartphone world, acknowledged as the best camera phone there is, so with your logic it should have been included. the n8 an ageing yet still holds its own and beats the 4 phones in this comparison.

''so not phones that have not been relased no N8 no other phone that is a big shot right now''

this makes no sense, are you saying no n8 as its old? because if thats the case the lumia 900 shouldn't of been included as it too is old.

fact is the nokia camera powerhouses weren't included as they would shame the iphone badly.

my question is why is every phone compared to the iphone, yet in camera comparisons why dont they compare every phone to the 808 or even the n8.

and where is sony's chance in these comparisons to shine. they offer great camera phones

What, pray tell, has it "kicked ***" in? Other than processing power (which is wasted due to the OS) it 1) doesn't have greatest battery life 2) doesn't have the greatest screen 3) isn't the thinnest 4) doesn't take the best photos 5) doesn't have expandable memory (though does have icloud) 6) doesn't have a great UI 7) doesn't lead in mapping, guidance, local or social media services 8) isn't that durable 9) doesn't have that good of reception (though does have admittedly good calling quality) 10) lacks features which are becoming standard on flagship phones (NFC, wireless charging) 11) still is made in sub-par labor conditions 12) still can't truly multitask 13) uses a crummy program for storage management 14)etc etc etc

111. Ninetysix posted on 08 Oct 2012, 15:36 2 1

So which phone has 14 of those features you listed?

126. chaoticrazor posted on 08 Oct 2012, 19:28 1 0

depends beat it at what, camera the iphone has been beaten many times by nokia and im sure by sony if P.A would include them.

as for functionality, android has that covered. offers more then iOS

and with the 920 coming it gets better.

i dont see how you can claim there nothing better on the market right now then the iphone. so you think a extremely problem riddled low build quality phone at a high price is the best. need to look around seriously there are many better phones
