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...

Anonymous, 31 Oct 2010Lets n0t forget that sony in this match was only 10mp,, ... moreso your saying that a digicam can be outperformed by a phone? that is unlikely but nokia made it possible.

              Nokiaz, 24 Oct 2010Nokia is the King! N8 is the best smartphone. End of Story.No.
              ALTEK LEO is the best smartphone made it ever.
              Its camera is better than N8, Pixon 12 and any other phone actually.
              No cameraphones better than ALTEK LEO.
              N8 sucks compared with ALTEK LEO.

                it`s fantastic how N8 makes fotos better with even smaler objective than sony camera. Engeneers put a big job in N8 camera. We can only wish that all N8 will be so good as their camera. Procesor isn`t promesing.

                            C is the best. then comes A and then B.

                                A looks best to me. And I didnt even look at the results.

                                  Last 2 post say everything - people were trying to gess what mean A,B and C instead of looking at the pics. That's what I call "blind test"!

                                    I thought A was the N8 until the last two pictures, which clearly shows the superior capabilities of the camera in the nokia.

                                      What? Nokia N8 were tagged as C?!?! Before reading page 2 i thought it was A because of the slightly worse image quality, Sony HX5v as C because of the best image quality (sharper details) and Samsung Pixon12 as B.

                                      I already have the N8 and i really LOVE it (perhaps because i had a N97 before ;D). However, the camera is really impressive!

                                        Hey guys, it doesn't matter if the n8 won or not. FACT is the n8 isn't going anywhere as long as that shitty symbian os remains on it. yes symbian was ok 4-5 years ago but not anymore. It's too outdated and slow compared to the offerings today. There are way better phones out there that will offer better apps a faster experience, way better browsing and overall a better experience in general. face it NOKIA, you've got to get rid of symbian and admit defeat. It just can't compete with android and the iOS...
