GSM Arena, Blind Test revealed.

Quite a lot of people got their guesses correct this time, but it’s hardly a surprise – the 808 PureView has quite an advantage over its smartphone peers in terms of resolved detail and processing, so it’s easy to tell its pictures apart.

In fact a lot of people couldn’t decide which photos came from the Nokia cameraphone and which from the Olympus Micro Four Thirds camera, which is a huge compliment to the Nokia camera division on its own

That’s quite a feat when people find it difficult to distinguish between a camera phone and an Olympus Micro Four Thirds camera. GSM Arena is still compiling the results of the users preferences. It would be a shame if any of C, D, or B appears in the top 3.

Previously the N8 also demolished an advanced compact megazoom. It’s great to see Nokia with the 808 continue putting up a great challenge to dedicated cameras.

Now you can plainly see why ‘Nokia Rabid Fanboys’ may get a little annoyed when some people try to say that 808 vs iPhone 4S are equal or it that it’s personal preference which one has a better camera. Clearly no. That’s like saying it’s personal preference whether a Bugatti Veyron is faster than a VW Beetle.  Nokia is comfortably taking the imaging crown here against all other camera phones. No contest. It’s a little unfair perhaps for such comparison on that category.

Cheers efekt for the tip.

Update: Check out Damian’s response :p Remember when Olympus folks said this 41mp PureView stuff was nonsense. LOL. How about results speaking for themselves 😀 It does produce great pictures, it does contribute to quality, it is making a difference in performance.
