Camera: X6 vs N900
As I said in my X6 review, I thought I would test out the Camera on the X6 and compare this to the N900 (as it’s the only other phone I have right now).
You can see below how they compare:

As you can see the Nokia X6 seems to actually be better in pictures 1, 2, 4, 6 and 8 where the images are a lot more clear, vivid and colours match to how they look in real life. I think image 5 is a bit of a tie, both seem to have come out very similar and the N900 is better in images 3 and 7.
I’m a bit disappointed in the N900 now but I suppose Nokia where not concentrating on the camera when they made it, but on the other hand I have to give Nokia credit on the X6, I think it is one of the best all round Nokia smartphones right now…if only they made one with this + the N97′s qwerty, they would have a truly great phone!

Great post! Based on these samples, X6 seems to take warmer and slightly sharper pictures, and seemingly better in low light. I’m finding white balance comparison similar of N900 against N97, with N97 producing warmer – to my eyes, more accurate, colours.
Do you get much of that light bleeding we had with the N97 flash? (I hope not since the LED placement is different, plus there’s self harming lens cover)
Quite surprised with the X6 since Pocketlint weren’t that pleased with its cam. I guess when they said “not as good as cam focused Nokias” they were referring to the likes of the N86.
N900′s much sharper screen often makes me think that photos will come out equally sharp over computer, but it’s actually not that good. But having said that, I still much prefer snapping photos with the N900 than the N97 because the simplified more finger friendly camera UI is easer to manage. Plus my N97 has a scratch over its lens which produces really ugly photos with flash.
Well everyone’s experience is different but from mine, I love the camera on it!
A great example of the flash and how good the camera is, would be the Last shot i took which was pitch dark….the colours are exactly what they actually are, the wall is exactly that shade of beige, the metal bars/pole you see in the middle are white and to me they look white in there (not at all yellow, etc). so not sure what that guy over at Pocketlint is on about!!
