Google Pixel vs Pureview

What many of us have been waiting for. The comparison is not a thorough one, but it's interesting. Thank you Steve.

PureView vs the Pixel: the 808, Lumia 950/1020 vs the Google Pixel

Wow and I just purchased a Lumia 1020 a couple weeks ago to keep in my collection and to actually interchangeably use from time to time via nanoSIM adapter. I'm using it alongside my LG V10 and I can't tell you how much I'm still impressed with it. I just wish, hope, that Nokia revives that sensor maybe even running Android with today's hardware pushing it. What a phone that would be! Here's a few of my recent clicks edited from RAW with Adobe Photoshop Elements 12.

Last two unedited.

The comparison concluded that physics win!

But software makes up for a whole lot. If they did focus test and video, the newer phones are miles ahead in those areas. And especially for the average person the newer phones will probably appear more favorable because of the punchy colors and sharpening.

That depends on opinion.
I did a blind test of the article with my wife. She loved the more natural colour.

I wish MS does something like MotoMods to augment 950 and future mobiles with true Optical Zoom and show the imaging prowess of MS camera app.

Yes, as long as they could make a zoom lens which is not prone to collecting dust inside.
