Nokia again takes on all challengers in another low-light challenge

[HeyCori]

And by all I mean just four.

The Lumia 920 vs Nokia 808, iPhone 5, HTC One X, and Galaxy SIII

I can't download the full archive of images while at work, but is EXIF data working right yet? (I know somewhere else it was said that wasn't working yet).

I'd love to know what the actual exposure time was for the 920's images.

This phone just keeps getting better! The Samsung examples are a big reason why I'm not going with the ATIV S..my last three phones have been Samsung and while they have all held up and are quality phones..the cameras are quite "meh". Not that I'm a photographer or anything, but the ability to capture the picture you want when you want it is a nice luxury to have.

What i find most interesting in those pictures is that 808 PureView seemingly had the longest exposure time, not Lumia 920.
808 PureView will beat 920, every other camera phone and most of the pocket cameras in decent light, but it could be that 920 gives a bit of a fight there.

Example how capable 808 PureView is even in low light (again not the thing it was specifically meant to).

I'd rather take the 920 without the open fleshwound on the back of the 808.

I rather take anything running WP as my daily phone over 808 PureView.
It has amazing camera UI, camera and great PHONE, other than there's isn't too much to celebrate.

808 PureView size isn't any problem to me. I use tight jeans and i can't get it into my head why people have to have super thin phones. Don't simply get it.

To answer myself, they were taken at ISO 800 with an exposure of 1 second.

That is impressive! Cannot wait...

 

[DrSaiko]

Very impressive. I just checked the files, for a phone camera the 920 is truly remarkable.

 

[smoledman]

Impressive, most impressive. So Nokia you've learned to control your fear. No unleash your anger, only your hatred for Apple can destroy it.

I was just on vacation and I was using a Nokia 808 and a Samsung Galaxy S2 for photos.

The Samsung Galaxy S2 did fine with daytime photos, but was awful with night time photos. The Nokia 808 did a great job with both daytime and night time photos.

There's no doubt in my mind that this article is an accurate comparison. The Galaxy S3 photos look just like the photos i took with my Galaxy S2.
