Phone Arena Camera Comparison

[Habiib]

Which pics were taken with which camera and with what settings?

All pictures were taken with the HTC One. Supposedly out the box settings. The more appealing photos were taken during initial reviews. The "other" photos were taken during comparison test. Kind of a coincidence that it just happened to take worst pictures when being compared to the competition.

There is nothing wrong withe camera on the one. It's actually quite awesome. If you rate it based on resolution of cores you will be disappointed. I rarely crop photos. I think people are also not taking into account given its ability to capture more light it will shoot with higher shutter speed most of the time, the reality of this camera is you will end up with fuzzy picture much less often. Reviewers are generally focusing on sharpness in generally still scenes. That is not the reality of the type of pictures most of us take with our phones.

While I agree with you for the most part, the camera still has the same white balance flaws of its past cameras. It also has It's oversharpening flaws of old, and has poor dynamic range as compared to others. Let's also not forget that It's color rendition is also quite flat.

While you can fix 2 of the 4 problems in the camera settings, I would not say that there is nothing wrong with it. This camera has flaws and is far from perfect.

Compared to the best smartphone cameras (Nokia) the HTC One seems to be able to generate very good results against the Nokia lineup (sans the Monster 808). I don't think any other phone in the Android lineup can come close to Nokia's offerings except the HTC One.
