Yup! If there`s anyone in 2020 that is reading this comment - we have to go back. Look at those samples - no artificial sharpening, overkilled HDR`s and oversaturated painting feel. You can only see that by comparing it to nowdays. I recently bought Nokia 808 PureView and stacked it against any other modern smartphone. I have to admit, that tose pictures lack dynamic range of modern HDR capable phones, but thats the only drawback, otherwise they look so real, true. I am carrying now two phones - modern Android with Google Pixel camera mod and Nokia 808 PureView just for the sake of nice picture with soul.

    So which one is better n8 12mp or s6 16mp? :)

            with hardware equipped to handle noise cancellation during video recording, why no active noise cancellation on voice calls? on a premier product such as this, it should have it. iphone and nx1 both have it. why not n8?

                anyone notice the second photo from with the trees and grass. Something about that photo screams aggressive noise reduction. Just look at all the lost detail. You cant tell between the individual blades of grass.

                                  Haha... Sorry iPhone 4 fans, the Nokia N8 can be held in any position to make a call, while the iPhone 4 must be held in a certain position for that.
