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...

                  My personal preference, from best to worst:

                  1. E
                  2. F
                  3. A
                  4. D
                  5. B
                  6. C

                  Here's my take on, which is which:

                  A = Nokia N8
                  B = Samsung Galaxy S III
                  C = HTC One X
                  D = iPhone 4S
                  E = Nokia 808 PureView
                  F = Olympus Olympus E-PL2

                  E and F could be other way around, F being Nokia 808 and E being Olympus E-PL2. Those two were the hardest to figure out. I went for E being 808, because it had similar characteristics to A (N8).

                    I'm not sure which one belongs to which picture.
                    The top 2 is the Pureview and Olympus
                    Those 2 camere has nearly the same sensor size. Olympus is not a dslr btw. But suitable for this test.

                    The high level of saturation in one of the photo must be HTC phone. One X. I think.

                    Bluish tint must be SGS3.
                    Quite impressive. But it still cant beat a Full DSLR. It only surpass the four point three camera of olympus but nearly touch the Entry level DSLR.

                    I like this Pureview. But I hate carrying 2 phone in 1 hand. I don't really like Symbian. But if Nokia makes a WP pureview, then i buy one.

                          You can tell C is the HTC One X because of its higher noise levels.
                          D maybe the iPhone 4S with its low chroma noise but relatively high luminance noise.
                          B maybe the Samsung Galaxy SIII with nicely saturated green colour boost.
                          The rest are all pretty much the same.

                                E & F are the best.

                                I think E is 808 but i like F better i think.
