lpl, 07 Apr 2019First give it a try, then pass judgement. This way you just... moreI would like to appologise to all the persons who didn't understand my posts, and yes ? I should give a try to this phone but I will not.
Why? It's because there is no optimization, and the overselling on a device which boards 1year old SOC.
If at the very beginning the Android One, and its chinese iteration roms were optimized, this effort will permit them to sell an optimized device and yes we can agree to use outdated components, even smaller evolutions.
Look Fairphones: small brand, outdated components, pricey as top mid-rangers but the OS is optimized and they aren't 30 behind to do it! But why they are still selling phones and no ones complaint again them? It's because the phone is usable.
But be at the place of Nokia 6.x Plus, 7.x Plus, 8.x Plus users, who faced promised updates which provided useless devices, Nokia 8 Sirocco users (Sirocco sounds the top for all Nokia lovers) which they had to complaint on Twitter during several months to obtain software update where all the other high range devices were already tasted the famous part of pie so long promised.
So yes, qualify me as a hater, but when someone buy a service behind a product, then he should receive it, and there is no excuse to understand that the service can't be delivered.
We're on GSMArena, there is many tech people in the world who are reading reviews, and I feel really chocked to still read comments from people who never had any Nokias claiming they are the best devices. They fucked up also the featurephones: Do you imagine a feature phone of 2019 on which you text a reply from the call history you've to re-add manually the phone number???
Look GSMArena themselves, which are really reliable they waited for the first big software update before plan to do the review... So I'm fed up and yes I'm negative, limit not polite, but please stop to agree to hide all the problems around these phones!

I didnt know about trypophobia I thought it will be something related to what have arachnophobia (Its looks like Spider eyes and freaks me out) The way lenses are arranged and being a pureView device they could have gone with Nokia 1020 layout where lenses and most of it would rest in a black circle that could have made it less prominent and maybe even reminiscence a one big lens

If you read the article you can tell that it produces one of the most sharpened-looking JPEG among all 2019 high end smartphones. You get more natural look in RAW, but then you can say exactly the same for other phones as well.

But obviously GSMArena decided to use iPhone X instead because, well, they wanted to make this phone look better.

ZolaIII, 07 Apr 2019This happened already:
https://m.gsmarena.com/apples_lcd_s... moreLCD and OLED are complimentary technologies not competing. Sure in phone market OLED lives as upper spec due to being newer technology compared to LCD just so it can checkmark the spec sheet for marketing purposes but truth is only few OLED displays in mobile phones are quality panels, all others are very mediocre with massive issues. But same can be said for LCD as well but technology itself has matured so issues are not that spread out.
If you are talking about TV panels I can contest that LCD still remains superior. I myself have the newest AF9 from Sony with LG OLED panel but with Sony tuning and while it's a superior quality panel and experience compared to Sony's own ZD9 series it comes out totally unrealistic with eye bleeding light, unnecessary contrast and saturation. ZD9 has its drawbacks such as viewing at the angle but if you are straight on it is a better experience unless you are a fan of bright colors.

A bit disappointing overall, but - it is first-gen product and obviously had troubled development. I am under impression that it wasn't ready yet, but Nokia had to release it before 855 phones swarm the market - or, even worse, 865 gets announced/released.
Hopefully they will fix these bugs and tune camera related software. Yes, this phone should be used in RAW... but regardless, even enthusiasts/pros sometimes need quick result on the move, there's no reason why default JPG and RAW-JPG conversion would not be better tuned.
Luckily I don't need a phone right now, so I will keep an eye on how this phone is being patched up. If nothing else, I am expecting there will be PureView 10 at some point... and at least two other brands have have announced cooperation with Light, so PureView is just an entry into this territory, not the best or final statement.
I do agree that people who care about photography should be considering 1" sensor as minimum for quality results. I do carry Sony RX100 with me most of the time... but not ALL of the time, and idea of having best possible phone camera is attractive. I'm hoping that this camera design - if not this phone - will give me that; maybe not today - but in foreseeable future.

One thing most people miss out on the point of having a larger sensor is the ease of playing with prespective: 1 inch sensor size should be the absolute minimum for enthusiasts; other than that all objects will look flat without the "3D poppingness" which isn't only the job for the tonality from sensor and lenses.
On the bright side, this multi camera crazed phone doesn't produced super overly processed images like the p20.
Wish there's a phone camera with two 2/3" sensor with a wide and telephoto lenses since it makes a lot more sense than phones that came out in 2018 and now.
808 and CM1 are still kings of photos for phones

Really? Of all the phone you have in office you grabbed a P30 Pro and an iPhone X from 2017. How about iPhone XS, Pixel 3 and Galaxy S10?
