Nokia 808 PureView blind test: The sum of all pixels

14 June 2012
The Nokia 808 PureView has finally landed in swirling storms of hype. And of course, it wasn't given a chance to catch a breath. We didn't meet it empty-handed either. We had a finger on the shutter of some mean cameraphones and an EVIL digicam...

              Don't want to get into what is what ......... but a tough competition between D and E. But my rating shall be
              1. E
              2. D

              Except for the 1st and the 4th photo set (where D is the best), E wins in all arenas (saturation, noise levels, resolved detail).

              Is D the 808 or E?

                  1st:F
                  2nd:E
                  3rd,4th & 5th:A,B,D
                  last:C

                  spent 2hours studying these pics but came up with nothing. F is marvelous,E is great-great-great but cant place it no.1 because of the colder approach(best colder-tone I have seen even comparing to dslr,pretty sure it is pureview),C is visibly worst and the rest are quite equal. Have no idea about olympus. F might be iphone as it is eye-popping,but I would be still surprised if it happens.

                  One thing people,gsmarena told us to vote which looks most appealing,not to foretell which shot is taken by which phone by boasting comments like "I have eagle eyes",etc.

                    Best first:
                    1)E=Nokia 808 PureView
                    2)F=Olympus E-PL2
                    3)A=Nokia N8
                    4)B=HTC One X (might be SIII also)
                    5)D=Iphone 4S (very close result between D and B)
                    6)C=Samsung Galaxy SIII (might be One X too)

                    Top two E&F are clearly the best and A is firmly on third place. C doesn't even deserve to be in this blind test.

                              In decreasing order of quality :
                              E is definitely the pureview, and it is the best among all those shown.
                              F is the Olympus, delivers the most pleasing image.
                              A is the N8 , natural understated colours and minimal postprocess, although the quality seems to have taken a bit of a hit from the pre Belle era... upgrading to Belle has made the camera a bit worse, in my experience.
                              B is the galaxy s3, pleasing colours and adequate sharpening.
                              D is the 4S, smaller FOV and gaudy colours(oversaturation)
                              C is the one X aka CRAP.

                                  oh, such a shame if pureview is neither E nor F. haha.

                                    808 is probably (E) but I thought innitialy it's the (F). iPhone 4s is brobably the second(B) and (C) probably is HOX ... Tried to cheat but no luck here :))

                                      E & F are the best. C is the worst contender:
                                      Let's do some guessing:
                                      E & F: Olympus & 808
                                      B & D: 4S & S3
                                      C: HTC
                                      A: N8
