If you look closely you can see the algorithm work... and it misses here and there and you can see some artifacts, but overall, yes.. its amazing considering the size of the whole thing. To get that kind of performance you will need a much bigger machine

Here is another one, its a little better here I think

Well there never will be perfect technology, but the 808 comes as close as ive ever seen before.

Not even my N8 can come as close to that and it takes brilliant images.

It's very good image quality, but I believe this quality will be available on more phones as technology advances. Who would have thought a few years ago that we would get such pictures from a cameraphone ?

The N8 is great.. I still have mine as well.. it has a tad better DR (at times) but other than that, I agree with you, the 808 is better overall.

Rumor has it that the new Lumia will be better than the 808 in every way.. I doubt that improvements will be substantial, if any, but we will see.


The problem is that phase 1 is surrounded by a ring of 50 patents, most of which are owned by Nokia and some by Toshiba, so the chances of this particular tech trickling down to other OEMs is slim to none. They might try to copy it, but it will be very hard to go around the patents.

Improving image quality (with the current tech) is a tricky business.. it gets exponentially harder, its kind of like Formula 1 You can get within 0.500/second of the leading car, but to get within .100 is much, much harder. So getting to that "perfect pixel" gets very hard the closer you get.

I would say that the 808 system is about 2 seconds a lap quicker at the moment, and even if the rest get to within half a second, it will be extremely difficult to match, and even harder to surpass.

If that happens, it will come from a completely different kind of technology, different kind of image sensor.. or maybe a breakthrough in BSI.. I don't know.

here is a good example of why I think the sensor/optics in the 808 is not perfect for portraits, its not big enough to blur the background properly from a distance, so you kind of get a wanna be effect lol

Is it not able to use touch focus and blur the background using that ?

My N8 struggles with background defocus, but funnily enough my Galaxy S3, my main phone, does it with ease. Sadly, with poorer image quality than what the N8 is capable of.

Many new HTC models have a DOF setting which works great. I hope Nokia can pull something out the bag better than the 920. The 920 was not what we all hoped probably due to Windows software restrictions

I just dont think the 920 has a very good camera unit regarding hardware, never mind the software. Its the 920's main drawback for creative people.

Night images are ok and the OIS is great too

Daylight pictures from the Lumia 920 are remarkably better after the Portico update, unfortunately all reviews are from months before this update.
But of course, even with this much improved photo quality, the Lumia 920 is no competition for the 808PureView, as, in fact, no other smartphone is either
