AnonD-252, 24 Feb 2013Please do not upsize or downsize, just compare the HTC One ... moreYou are absolutely correct. Even if gsmarena want to compare in the same mpix, they have to adjust it on the phone setting, not by processing the image after it is taken.

    AnonD-1825, 24 Feb 2013Now http://www.androidaustralia.com.au/2013/02/manufactu... moreDear Duel,
    I just downloaded all three pictures of 808, htc one and Lumia 920 from the link you posted. 808 captured image thousand time better than 920, htc one is out of race ofcourse.even Limia 920 is not close to the 808 even.Being a professional photographer i can say without any doubt that 808 has no match yet..its king

            AnonD-77852, 24 Feb 2013Why didn't you run native 4MP on the One and downsize iPhon... morebcoz all flagship models whether they have 41mp,13mp or 8mp,are always compared at 8mp size,

              Its clear the large pixels of Htc One account for better lightening and colours in Htc pictures. But more pixels in iPhone take a better resolved and sharp pictures.
              But it will be difficult to distinguish them on small mobile screens or printed form.
              If you are so into perfect photography, buy yourself a DSLR camera.

THE END...iphone wins,htc ONE was beaten after its camera blast itself because htc's quality is only on paper,in real world-S**t happens...

                    iphone 5 clearly beats the htc one.even when dwnsized to 1.6 mp.ha ha lolz@htc main publicity feature fail to impress.how they can think it as flagship device???.next iphone is having 13 mp,how they compete with that.htc has lost again.And even the phone is larger in size then xperia zl(5inch) and still has only 4.7 inch.i will go with xperia z or zl,or iphone 5.

                      Why didn't you run native 4MP on the One and downsize iPhone to 4MP as well?

                      Anyways, I prefer better color then sharpness in detail. HTC One has enough detail but better color output.

                          Simple, Iphone is better detail, HTC is better colour and contrast. It's entirely down to personal preference

                            AnonD-114784, 24 Feb 2013nokia lumia 920 vs nokia 808 pureview vs nokia n8 vs htc on... morewithout any hesitation NOKIA 808 PUREVIEW is the king of all mobile camera phones. I just captured last night a wedding pictures and its amazing in both departments..We can not compare the 808 camera with the phones..As you know camera experts in all over the world compare the 808 picture quality with regular cameras.

                                    HTC has always had terrible cameras so i am not really surprised by this.

                                        why do you have to upsize the photos to 8 megapixel? everyone knows that this will decrease the photo quality. also, you didn't even admit that HTC took much more natural photo on the woman's face area.
                                        I don't think gsmarena did a fair comparison
