PureView vs UltraPixel (PV, Phase 2.) (PS, PureView v1 kicks Ultrapixel’s ass)
Yesterday, we talked about how PureView absolutely demolished the HTC One in terms of review praises for the camera. That was PureView V1.
I was elated when I got the tweet about PocketNow’s PureView vs UltraPixel test because the PureView V1 will just embarrass the competition.
Well, it wasn’t quite the 808 but it’s still PureView (v2)

I don’t think there’s any mention of the 808, although I do find it funny that there’s mentions of ‘large sensor sizes’ when talking about the HTC. (Question, how big is the sensor in the N95, announced 2006?)
Folks, it is NO Content. PureView vs UltraPixel. Side by side comparison will just be formalities.
We should add tests for zooming, cropping, super low light with flash and movement (people, the fan test etc).
If we’re speaking simply on terms of phone-camera performance, then the 808 with PureView V1 wins. We have to also think about practical terms. Even if PV1 was to come to Lumia, could the mass market stomach a hump? WP might be easier to stomach than Symbian, but can the masses handle all that extra lumps?
PocketNow warns Nokia to keep innovations flowing as the ultra-low light battle is no longer a once horse race. True. The 720 is pretty great in low light, as is the 808 :p.

Lol, why your video link to Black Eyed Peas :-/
ma humps, ma humps ma humps ma humps! ooohhh
Correct video link???
The humps that come with camera phones like the N8 and 808. Jay has a wicked sense of humour.
Come on, lets be honest here, the pureview 808 has the nicest humps
Honestly the backside of the 808 for me is the best backside of any phone iv’e seen!
But for some reason some people here say that its a niche device because of that hump or is it because it’s Symbian!
For me the 808 is a good looking phone the only bad thing is the front of the phone! kinda looks like a cheap 5800 or 5233
Exactly that, it looks like a 603 or a c7 D: But I love it anyway..
I guess it doesn’t really bother some people. Most people I have talked with, would like to see the phone without the hump. My personal opinion is that it bulges too much on the pocket.
Symbian was definitely a problem for 808. It was no longer that popular in high end.
Lol these WP fanboys are happy that their camera is better than other phones but their smartphone experience sucks as a whole
So much better than that crashing, malware infected, old style OS Android has. Windows is smooth and sooo perfect.
808 undeniably has more superior features and functionality compare to any Lumia or WP phones available in the market. Only that the Symbian name has been trashed badly by the tech bloggers due to N97 generation.
Undeniably my ass.
Symbian can do certain things WP can’t, and WP can do certain things that Symbian can’t.. its up to the user to decide which of those is more important for him/her.
There was no personal opinion in that comment, only the same old bitter moaning about how Symbian is supposedly the better platform.
Well for taking pictures on the phone it’s still miles better.
Is it?
How often does 920 freeze when taking pictures?
808 seems to freeze from time to time. And that happens because of Symbian.
It only happens to your imaginary 808 in your imaginary world.
Actually, 808 freezes from time to time.
Well its now a year and still no Phase1 PV on WP! wonder where would be now if they used Meego or Symbian!
50mp? 28mp? 32mp? anything would have been possible!
Also WP is undeniable a smoother and faster OS! But I hate to bring this up but it still has no apps! one thing why Symbian was thrashed for!
Also it’s battery tests is not on par with Android or Symbian
Dont even want to talk about all the feature’s Nokia users lost in this transition!
But like dss said its up to the user to decide which they want.
I hate the word “resuming” in WP
Symbian can do a lot of things WP can’t, that’s for sure, but I have yet to see anything WP can do that Symbian can’t. The only shortcoming of Symbian is the lack of third party apps. But that does NOT mean Symbian can’t have powerful apps, just that due to Nokia’s own fault, people no longer make third party apps for Symbian. Actually Symbian can have more powerful third party apps than WP, just look at Situations, Sleeping Screen, Slideunlock, etc. etc. Many very useful and fun apps that I don’t think will ever be able to be implemented on WP.
Both phones are far from what 808 system can do..
The 808 doesn’t have OIS so not entirely true, however the 808 has other advantages and is better suited to photography enthusiasts, two phones targeting different audiences. Lets just be happy that Nokia is catering for a wide audience regardless of OS eh?
there is a lot of noise in the htc pictures when you zoom in. and considering this is a handicaped solution because you start to see the limitations when you need to zoom in and there’s not enough data to do it, i think the 920 is the better phone. Nokia showed you don’t need to have a smaller sensor to capture that light. You can do it with a normal sensor too complimented by the ois. also it’s kinda shocking that the htc had those big ass pixels plus the ois and still has trouble when compared to the 920. it’s a good effort from them but still they are behind.
by the way, i saw some pictures on wpcentral with the camera fixes in the gdr2 update. pictures look even more sharper.
and loool at htc again. they said this phone beats the 808,not the 920. ultrafail
920 pics look good, htc1 pics look red,
i think the review was a little biased or sympathetic towards the hct1,
Yes, yes it was.
808′s sexy hump got me spending. No joke!
