Nokia N8 vs. Samsung Pixon12 vs. Sony HX5v shootout: Blind test

05 October 2010
The Nokia N8 is an immensely popular phone and we’re already hard at work on a proper review of the handset. Since the N8 camera is its pivotal feature, we’re interested how you'd rate it in a blind shootout with two other cameras...

      N8 results are mind-blowing,its 12mp, Carl Zeiss Optics.28mm wide angle lens and Xenon flash really work together to give out more stunning pictures than the other two,I am loving it more than my Desire HD now :)

          kochumon, 01 Jan 2011nokia n8 is not so good in camera.samsung pixon is also not... moreLook at pictures labeled "C", they realy blow away "B" ones in detail, it's undoubtly you can see at pictures in the end with iso 400 and 800. You can't even see numbers in pixon's images!

                ->Reason i dont like samsung at all
                - They are Releasing out a new phone almost every week now, which lowers the value of their previously released phone,

                - Have made too many garbage phones in beginning all with slide or flaps.

                - Most of their phones have 95% same features
                - They dont stick to one OS, almost every model have a different OS.

                ->Reason I Like Nokia

                - Have Symbian - Thousands of symbians apps out there you can download,
                - Easy to use/Operate
                - Is releasing Quality phones from the very first day
                - Reliable
                - Consistently releasing some outclass phones

                  However, with the image of the knight, we can clearly see the limitation of sensor size or amount of light entering lens. With the sony point and shoot camera, we can still see the colour underneath the hood where with n8 its completely dark, not registering the light at all. But still in the end, a very awesome camera phone, might get one just for the camera.

                    Damn N8 rocks....dis can do better than Galaxy Beam :( and Pixon 12 no offense dat N8 has d best camera on mobile which everybody accepts it with d real measurement of ISO1200,and 28mm wide angle lens with Carl Zeiss Optics.
                    If Pixon 12 is better why cant it record HD,clearly,bcos it can't receive good light enough to produce HD videos.
                    So,in the end, Sure N8 is the best camera phone.

                            smartphone MEANS= THE Android version KING ALL OF THE smartphone
                            DISPLAY MEANS= Super AMOLED 2.(htc,iphone,samsung)
                            CPU MEANS= ARM Cortex A8 1GHz processor(iphone,samsung)

                            so samsung is best


                            nokia best only for GPRS & EDGE

                                    When my phone can replace daily used gadget, why not?

                                    Mobile Phone replace old fix line phone (almost)
                                    It replace old calculator, even with some nice app you can replace scientific calculator.
                                    It replace handset game device (almost)
                                    It replace walkman, i mean MP3 player.
                                    It replace flash light (small one)
                                    It replace alarm and most of digital clock.
                                    And not it replace digital pocket camera. How could you come with the stupid?line?

                                    Wake up dude.

                                      if you want a camera buy a camera and if you need a phone buy a phone,,, if you want the best camera inside a phone then its the samsung pyxon 12 ,, lets compare cameras =

                                      nokia n8 samsung altek
                                      12mp 12mp 12mp
                                      no lens 28mm lens no lens
                                      carl zeiss xenon flash xenon flash
                                      no led f no led led
                                      results = samsung 28mm lens can let you take pictures in most perspectives so this is an advantage however quality is the same on all 3 phones
                                      altek uses led so flash is better on it but again quality is the same 12mp

                                      personal opnion =
                                      samsung due to the warranty and samsung is all over

                                      alltek since due to led technology the flash is grate
