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...

    This Is About Picture Quality Wise..Not OS Wise...So Judge About The Pictures...Not The Overall! If You Care So Much About OS Or Other Features Than The Picture Quality, Don't Waste Your Time Commenting Non Sense Feedbacks...The Review Is About The Pictures!

      For people who think the camery performance is the most important feature in the phone:

      There is only one phone can be considered:

      samsung SCH-W880


      No phone even come close to it!!!

      For me, 5mp is enough. If I need high quality pictures I get my DSLR out.

        I agree!

        The 12mp is just marketing hype!

        The sensor and the supporting hardware and software is to lousy and cheap in any phone to justify the 12mp resolution.


        And there is no reason to have that resolution at this quality.

        Almost nobody will pring with this lens and sensor larger then A4 aor 8.5x11 inch prints - for that 5.8mp is more than enough.

        It would be better to keep the lower resolution and improve the lens and sensor (less noise!!! by less density on the sensor)

        As far as Satio: when you have a lousy battery with a TFT screen that sucks power like crazy the 12mp will not help - you out of luck!

        Satio is full of PR marketing but no substance.

        Very limited internal memory!!!!!!!

        Buggy software!!!!!

        It is totally unpractical and outdated / I do not see any reason to even consider it!

              Hi guys. I bought Satio one week ago, and I can say it's the best phone ever! I love it! The photos are absolutely amazing.. It can't get any better than this! And if it can, it too much finesse, doesn't matter. Anyway, I recommend this phone with all my heart, it's just amazing..and soo so fast! It's nice to see that SE are getting on their feet again! I wish them the best of luck, and congratulations for Satio!

              One very happy customer!
              (P.S. I have a Samsung vacuum cleaner.. LG microwave oven.. And a Nokia TV set :)))) lol..)

                satio wins in daylight pictures (the level of detail is grater) but the samsung wins in flash mode (witch is more important in my opinion )

                overall the satio is a much better phone and there are other reasons why i wold better buy the satio

                12mp is just marketing (the sensor is way to small to support this resolution,an the lens - same )

                        ..., 18 Oct 2009has nothing to do with details. Satio wins details in all ... moreDon't know what you mean by "Satio wins details in all pictures". The noise level is higher on Satio. And that's visible.

                          nick, 18 Oct 2009just look at the file sizes, the pixon clearly takes in muc... morehas nothing to do with details.
                          Satio wins details in all pictures exept flash.
                          Pixon12 has a wide lens while Satio's lens is a regular lens... means that pixon12 shoots a wider area and that is why the picture size in pixon12 is bigger...
                          think a little.... :)

                              the SonyEricsson satio has a much vivid colors than the pixon but the pixon pics is slightly sharper as for me i"ll go for the satio for sure for many reasons

                                  I'll take that back. They are equally good actually, just looking at the pics shows no difference.
                                  Still Satio as a great smartphone wins the battle phone against phone

                                        This is pretty much same as comparing Innov8 and C905. We all knew what happened then. Satio's images improved a bit from it's prototype but not enough to be called best.
