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...

By the B is overexposed (building pics), I'd say B is 808.

      E and F are the best pictures, Nokia generally goes to blue collors than red ones in standard shots so I think E is the 808 and F is the Olimpus Camera downgraded

          Best to worst: E - A - F - D - B - c

          hint: try reading the text on that handwatch ad

          I think E is the Pureview
          A has N8 written all over it (N8 has a certain look to its noise)
          F is the cam, colours are off and a bit of added sharpness
          D is for decent, I'd say the Iphone
          B is... meh
          C is a waste of time, whoever made C should quit their business

              E & F are the best F being the better of the 2 it captures all resolved detail doesnt oversharpen great contrast(see the building scene) and the noise is invisible E seems to be the nokia and F the digicam, if that is the case the pureview is the best camera phone to date on the market and comes very close to digital camera status

                E - 808 Pureview

                  F is the E-PL2, the amount of details, low level of noise and moir makes sens for a senzor that size.
                  D I would sat is the iPhone because of the high, read exagerated, contrasty colors and the yellowish tint
                  Rest of them are so closely related in terms of detail, iso performace, colors, white balance and sharpness that is pure guess work and I have really bat luck and I'm really bad at guessing so I'll wait for the spoilers in the next couple of days

                    A, B and C all have same focal lenghts (HTC, Samsung and the N8). Letter D is, therefore, Apple's phone (33mm). The Olympus is definitely using some different lens unit, compared to the kit lens, as the latter provides minimum focal length equal to 28mm, and therefore equal to A, B and C, which doesn't seem to be the case. Unless it's using a lens set up at around 27mm, it's letter F, which has a wider viewing angle than E.

                    D: 33mm;
                    A: 28mm;
                    B: 28mm;
                    C: 28mm;
                    E: 26mm;
                    F: Less than 26mm.

                    Judging by the similar look of A and E, it's almost certain that the N8 is A and the 808 is E.

                      If it is really 808 then its not impresive .
