MNB RG: Nokia Lumia 920 dark box comparison with Lumia 900/808 PureView

Janne’s back to share an interesting camera comparison set up by Nokia in a sales booth at a Helsinki department store. It’s already been reported that the Nokia Lumia 920 is the highest demanded for any Nokia in 10 years for DNA Finland, quite a feat given the huge popularity of Nokia in the early part of those 10 years. We need Nokia to SHOW why the Nokia Lumia 920 is awesome, and it’s things like this that do that. Not their gut wrenchingly terrible ads that have been made by an art student to confuse you.

The booth has two dark boxes where you can compare your phone and Lumia 920 low-light photography capabilities. The attached pictures were taken in 8 MP 4:3 auto modes, handheld and without flash with Lumia 900, 808 PureView and Lumia 920, and then scaled to 1024 width.

The dark box with the Christmas tree was lighted a little more from an outside spotlight, so those pictures were better in all the phones because there was more ambient light. The other box with the globe was very dark, pretty much the only one showing anything on its mobile screen was the Lumia 920.

The last two JPGs (the ones that say brightness +100% in the corner) contain the same pictures with +100% brightness to show what kind of detail or noise there was in the pictures.

Cheers Janne for the tip!
