Satio vs. Pixon12: 12MP shootout teaser

16 October 2009
It took cameraphones exactly one year to take the next step in their evolution, closing the gap on dedicated digicams even more. As usual we are here, carefully tracking the progress and checking out if it's going in the right direction...

Y think soo. Pixon has beter contrast, wide angle lenses, moor powerfull xenon flash...Satio on the other side has beter colors, but more noise in pictures ( particularly ideapth ), and beter os....Satio is soo probably beter choice...

        Satio - Smartphone,3.5 inch 16M colors TFT resistive touch screen,VGA video recording,No Divx,Xvid support(but u can easily install it), ARM Cortex A8 600 MHz, PowerVR SGX graphics,supports up to 32GB memory, more expensive


        Pixon12 - Non-smartphone,3.1 inch 16M colors AMOLED resistive touch screen,D1 video recording,DivX,Xvid support,wide angle lens, supports up to 16GB memory only,less expensive

        Both have xenon flash,video LED light,lens cover,face and smile detection

        Im just waiting for the image quality shootout to decide which phone to buy but it seems that pixon12 has clear advantage in terms of image quality

          They're both tied if you ask me. But Maybe the Pixon is slightly better in some pictures but still I like Satio's macro better. Satio's firmware isn't really that mature yet since it's still very new so a lot of firmware updates are still coming which can improve the camera performance.

                  Satio results r little bit real,Samsung sharpness is good,but may b with more photo shoots, we can clearly identify the best one, other wise Sony Ericsson is better than Samsung

                        Anonymous, 20 Oct 2009resolved datail pixon12 : 10 satio : 8 dynamic range ... moreWhere did you get these numbers? Lens quality? Focus accuracy? Camera speed?
                        You can't see this by the pictures, so you probably have done some serious testing with both devices. Where's your review then?

                        Or, it's just crap what you posted! ;-)

                        Anyway, I'm not happy to say this, but the Pixon is clearly better in all conditions. It's sharper, better colors, and doesn't have that nasty noise reduction SE's using. Still I'd prefer the Idou (I just like that name better than "Satio" =D) for being SE plus the looks.

                        But telephone camera's are not important for me anymore, so that's why I have an iPhone (everything just works perfectly, can't say that from any other device) and for photography a Canon 40D. I just hope they stop with the megapixel bumps after this and start working on the lenses, because it really can be much sharper than this!

                                  in macro mode, there is no significant differences about photo quality. and motorola zn5 can do it better...
