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...

      Appeal to gsmarena, I am waiting for the results too, but I would also like to see how people's second and third preferences factored in. In addition to traditional voting, can you also use another method which include voters other predernces too? This would be the ideal method

        1 - E (most detail)
        2 - F (least noise (could be due to excess post-processing))
        3 - A
        4 - B
        5 - D
        6 - C

            E has the best Clarity.
            D has the best Contrast Ratio.
            F has both Clarity and Contrast Ratio but not better than E or D.

            I think F is the Nokia 808 Pureview or maybe its E, little confused there.

                      E is definitely 808 and f is the evil olympus
                      And E looks better.. though there is very little more noise than f..

                        E is pureview
                        C is completely out of focus
                        F is real good (maybe that camera
                        THE rest are normal(not pureview)

                          Sure, you can guess, once you've given your rankings. If you haven't given your rankings, then well, its a free world but I don't think its very constructive considering the point of this post...

                          Anyway, my rankings

                          1. E - best color reproduction and detail
                          2. D - slightly more detail and brighter pictures than A
                          3. A - better color reproduction than D but otherwise worse
                          4. B - guy who made software loves green
                          5. F - white balance off, dark pictures
                          6. C - too much noise, dark pictures but okay white balance

                            A and B are quite average, C is worst(blurry and noisy), D is sharp but noisy, E is best and F comes close to it

                            I think it's like this
                            A N8
                            B SGSIII
                            C One X
                            D iPhone
                            E 808
                            F Olympus

                              3rd to 6th respectively = D , B , A, C,

                                I believe N8 it is the E

                                  E and F is obviously the best from all of them. I would be surprised if these two isn't the Pureview and Olympus. :)

                                  C is the worst, the rest is like equal. If I have to vote for all of the position, it would be:

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

                                    E and F both look great, but on the first set on 2nd page text above "unicredit bulbank" is readable only on E sample.
                                    i believe E is the 808

                                      E= 808 pureview (because of the details and the true to life color)...

                                      F= Olympus (because of the details but has more saturated color)...

                                      D= Htc One X (because it is the most saturated color that when shooting other things/colors like yellow especially in bright sunlight it hurts my eye)...

                                      C= Samsung Galaxy SIII (because i saw another comparison between 808 and SIII and the cropped photo of SIII is the worst i've ever seen)...

                                      B= iPhone 4S (because the photo is quite good with saturation of an iPhone, really)

                                      A= Nokia N8 (because of the still good details with natural colors)...

                                      C & D has a small possibility for me to exchange in position but that's very small possibility, but i still stand in my opinions above...

                                        E or F first, dunno about the rest
