I wouldn't say clearly, but I prefer the 920 richer colors, on the Nexus 5 everything seems a bit washed out.

920 looks better obviously ... ... it has been shown that Nexus 5 doesnt have a very good camera. But 16GB is cheaper than the 32GB 920 at this point by a small margin.

920 clearly has a better camera

In the first two:
The lower corner of the counter, the 920 is a blur, but the nexus sharper.

In the zoomed pics:
Check the warning on the bottom edge of the cup. The nexus has less noise and is closer to legible.

It's funny how even a year after the 920's release, none of the other companies can match it's camera (except of course for Nokia's own phones).

Lets not get too far ahead of ourselves...Developers grab the Nexus 5 camera by the horn, improve it with software | 9to5Google

On second thought, maybe the op for the pictures labeled backwards and the 920 really is better ?

Op ?

We are on the windows forum, dont forget about the lingering Android fanboys pretending to like WP8...zing!

Well, maybe I'm a bit biased here.
And I'm just a point and shoot kind of guy, not a profesional photographer.
But I like Lumia 920 result in lowlight situation.

But in bright daylight situation.
Nexus 5 is on par if not better than 920

So the difference is not that big.
But still for low light situation I will clearly use my Lumia 920 until I can get my hands on 1520 :winktongue:

Nexus 5 camera is a joke in front of Lumia 920 camera. Even iPhone 5s doesn't produce such a good photo quality as Lumia 920.

Bright daylight photo comparison.




IMHO the difference is too little to notice.

Could you post the pictures, instead of screen caps ?
