iPhone 4 vs Nokia N8 Camera Comparison – Round 1

The Nokia N8 is one of the most powerful camera phones in the market and it features a 12 MP Camera with Carl Zeiss optics and a powerful Xenon Flash.The Apple iPhone 4 finally has a pretty impressive 5 MP camera with a really fast shutter and a LED Flash.Here is the iPhone 4 vs Nokia N8 Camera Comparison – Round 1 where we took both these phones to click pics during the weekend.

All photos were taken in Auto modes with Flash turned off unless indicated below. We had also disabled HDR photos on the iPhone 4.

We have downsized the photos from both the phones to 288x215px for the iPhone 4 and 287x215px for the Nokia N8 and the images have not been edited and are presented as is.We have also not watermarked the images below as they may introduce some quality issues.

The purpose of Round 1 was to see how these phones perform in low light condition with and without flash. The Xenon Flash on the Nokia N8 beats the iPhone 4 LED Flash hands down. Some of the iPhone 4 photos seem over-saturated and over-exposed and tend to deviate from the real colors.The Nokia N8 photos have more detail in them and closer to real colors.In some conditions which had a lot of bright light sources, the iPhone 4 handled the situation very well.

We found it easier to click pics on the Nokia N8 with a 2 stage Camera key as the iPhone4 lacks a Camera key.The Camera app on the N8 has a lot of settings while the iPhone 4 offers zero or very little customization.Now that you have seen the pics from both the Camera Phones.
