      Anonymous, 20 Nov 2010Try an iPhone 4 with HDR, then you'll be impressed.n8 without HDR already can have good dynamic range as compare to i4 HDR..

      See a lot of noise in i4 photo no matter daylight shot or using low ISO. There is overexposure in i4 photo too..over contrast.. oversatured..overprocessed.

        I like this new feature. I have long awaited for this. In the past, I have to open up multiple tabs to compare. With this, it saves a lot of troubles.

                Great job GSM Arena and easily accessible from most phones without the need for Adobe Flash, it looks like a good way to compare camera's.

                It's easy to see that HTC is still let down by poor camera quality which has been the situation for years.

                    excellent tool.

                    Would be great if the selected phone would show which Model/version/OS number its running.

                    I've seen test shots on this website with the same phone, but with completely different results each time.

                      A guy from Greece, 19 Nov 2010There is a little something i've loved on every single noki... moreTHIS!!! Some phones can't even take a photo in my room with the light turned on (and yes, no flash!) - and I can read in that same light. I only get somewhat good results from Motorola (which I have) and I recently tried SE Aino, also good. SE W-series are hopeless. Phones like LG Prada or SE C501 would just give me darkness. But a few days ago I tried a Nokia N97 and it ruled them all! I wish GSMArena tested cameras in low-light conditions.

                        Then the color will last longer if i store the picture for years.

                            dude your wrong because the iphone pictures are over saturated and not producing natural and true colors. Also, if you notice that iphone pics look more noisy( look at the dotes on the pic) and this is a bad sign.

                            The X10's camera is way better even in this test trust me! I tell you this from experience.

                                  I have been looking for something like this for a while now. I should have known that gsmarena would have been the first to do a proper job of it. Give yourselves a big pat on the back!

                                  Would like a out zoom option and more phones as soon as you can of course.

                                  Thanks a zillion!!! :)

                                    GSMArena goes to another level and beats other mobile phone websites in the groin!!! actually i have stopped looking at other websites altogether just because of the features GSMArena provides. I am posting this without even reading the article (just read the headline)

                                    THANK YOU GSMARENA FOR CONSTANT UPDATES!!!

                                      There is a little something i've loved on every single nokia i've owned: the night mode of their camera. Unrepetable. There is not a single device, not even an actual camera, that can capture the colors of the night and create such a representitive to reality result.

                                      Night out with friends is something to remember from my youth more than anything that will happen at daylight. A picture won't fade out like memories will. So it is important for me.

                                      Is there a way to compare the night mode of a phone camera?

                                      PS. I HATE flash. Picture show something you never saw with your bare eyes.
