LG KG920 vs. SE K800 vs. Nokia N73: One more photo shootout

31 January 2007
Recently we've got LG K920 for testing; this is one of the first 5MP camera GSM phones available on the market. We've decided that it's a good idea to test it against one of the best currently available 3MP camera phones, and also great rivals - Sony Ericsson K800 and Nokia N73.

Have anyone tried to analyse also camera flashes? It would be interested to see what would be the result at 2 meter and 3 meter distance between different high end phones

    anyway, who really cares about tint? just adjust them in photoshop. all 3 have distinctive tints. i actually prefer LG's tint than the others.

      ...No offence meant to native people living in tropical environments without a roof, but are they the most likely buyer-segment?

        Why does everybody -including GSMarena- keep on this MegaPixel babbling?
        With this minuscule size of optics, it physically(!) impossible to get decent pictures under normal conditions, and the more MegaPixels they squeeze in the worse the thermal noise gets!
        Even compact-cameras (with their small but relative larger optics) have this problem...
        Yes it works decently in direct sunlight, but how many interesting situations you want to capture are in this condition?

            lemme tell ya, buy a digital camera, don't show any of your problem with those brands, they was made with segment, k800 is not so good compare to nk but it's cheap, the n73 is expensive but it's a smartphone, so make your choice on the budget not from the quality...goddamn you all pain in the but, i'm sick reading those opinion like who's the best or something, it's all about THE BUDGET....none is the winner MAKE YOUR GODDAMN CHOICE

              The 3 phones are so impractical of buying
              Its so bulky and huge..........

                  Everyone is different. Colour perception, colour blindness, cataracts, etc are all part of the equation. Anyway not everybody has perfect eye sight...
                  But personally even though i am a Nokia person at heart. The SE has much better colour reproduction and performance, the nokia still comes up with sharper and clearer images. Personally there are trade offs but hey...its only a phone. Get a digital camera if you're so fuss about camera-phones!

                  HAHAHA

                    i'm really admire to SE K 800, its a fantastic camera phone with xenon flash, no ones other have the flash like this one!
                    Nokia is slowly work like a computer with a low disk space , and with LG camera Phone, its not really fair
                    i suggest you to use the SE K 800,
                    you'll get a super wonderfull camera phone with the laest technology!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                        Seems like all Nokia Fans Boy can not accept what GSMARENA had written:

                        Performance
                        Sony Ericsson K800 wins by a small margin here. Nokia N73 is a smartphone and is expected to be slower, but in reality is not much slower than K800 in both focusing and saving times.


                        C'mone guys, you are not capable enough to give a review but GSMARENA does. So accept it. Why must debating and fighting with this kind of things ? Did Nokia pay you for being its fan ?

                            nokia phones are much better than sony er because they are smartphones and you can do a lot of things. if you buy a nokia phone you will have it more than 5 years. and if you want good fotos buy a digital camera not a mobile phone. sony ericon sucks. GO NOKIA

                                Overall, k800i IS a loser to N73, i both tested each,
                                sound of k800i is not comparable to n73. video no doubt is a loser for k800i, so low-tech, the only good on this camera is the xenon lamp. but it still produces noisy pics! trust me, if u want over all, go for n73.

                                  however, SE still the best n will be the best n the best! camera, sound, and also price...
                                  In the dark, k800i shows the best pictures. and the most important, its show natural pictures. we wait other surprise SE. u'r next 5MP camera phone will beat the others.

                                    Whoever goes for the SK800i is just wasting their money. The N73 is the way to go, in both durability of the phone and the functionality. The only thing the K800i has over both phones is the Xenon flash which seriously drains the batteries juice. Not a good idea.

                                      i guys i saw all the pics taken by those phones. but if you are going to buy a good camera mobile than go for SE K800 it is great becouse my friend has a mobile shop and he has all latest phone and i have already tried SE K800 and Nokia N73. And amazing k800 beats n73. the right choice is SE. becouae i have the one and i am satisfied. so go for SE, nokia Sucks.
