Nokia 808 PureView review: Photo Finnish

22 June 2012
The Nokia 808 PureView is the best cameraphone ever made. End of story. Now, how do you proceed from there? And why is this particular phone so hard to write about? How about because a picture is worth a thousand words and we just had a...

My N9's cam is also a bit too yellowish and I admit it. Yes, 808 may be a bit unsaturated but only very little. It still has better colours that those phones mentioned by you.

But if you think the colors are not good in this cam, you don't have to buy it. You can say it's their problem who buy it, not yours.

                "Once again we are impressed by the competitiveness the Nokia 808 PureView showed. In conditions where the Galaxy S III produced barely usable footage, the Nokia cameraphone pulled off a pretty good performance."

                Samsung s3 got ass kicked by the Nokia 808 PureView.

Details are about the same but SGS3 is really oversaturated. And This was video, not still compare tool. And in low light 808 resolves little more detail in video comparing. Not to mention it has 4x looseless zoom also in video that SGS3 doesn't have.

                  SGS3's camera is very good for 8 MP and video is excellent exept they are oversaturated. In fact I think it beats even so hyped N8 camera in details and matches in noise reduction, but it's far behind 808. That doesn't make it worse phone but as camera, Nokias 5 years of development beats it with ease as it is supposed to be.

                  Ask some of your friends that know about cameras, they will tell you which one has better colors.

                    Did ANYONE actually look the Photo Quality Comparison tool results on the resolution chart?
                    You can discern clearly only about 3000 LPH. And even that is being generous. And how much is that when translated into megapixels?
                    (3000*1.33)*3000=11970000 pixels, ~12 megapixels in terms of absolute resolution!
                    So where's my 38 MP? Could it be that the tiny pixels and lens could have something to do with it? Tell me it ain't so...

                          Here's why i bought one

                          Does it handle email - Yes

                          Does it handle browsing the web - Yes

                          Is the OS quick and easy to use - Yes

                          It it a better camera/camcorder than every phone and every small sensor camera on the market today - BIG YES - SOLD!

                          Anything else it can do is a bonus.

                            SnJuan, 25 Jun 2012Nokia can put out a 100 megapixel camera but nobody will ca... moreCompletely agree. This 808PV is only capable selling for few fans only that ops more on camera than anything else in a phone.

                            Nowadays I hardly seen anyone use Nokia and no much people will even go and check Nokia. Nokia store is crazy empty.

                            Even the high advertising lumia also hardly sell, don't even need to mentioned this not so popular dead OS
