Kristina and “Ari Partinen” from Nokia are conducting Low-Light/ try out shooting in dark challenge on behalf of Nokia at Photokina and till now they trounced a plethora of Flagships including SGS III and IPhone 4S. But , here comes a new challenger. Apple’s new Flagship iPhone 5, which Apple claims to have improved Camera and low-light performance. So, Are you ready for the results of the battle royal.
Here it goes,
The difference in the low-light image capture is again huge. Lumia 920 totally trounced Apple iPhone 5 in the test.
Bow to the champ !!! Kudos to Nokia for the innovative “PureView phase 2″.
Apparently Nokia has been having some success with WP 7.x in China with this huge carrier. I’m sure Nokia will be bringing the lower end WP 8 handsets there as well besides the Lumia 920.
Firast and foremost , it`s not acceptable for them either . Second , neither of them is in Nokia`s dire straits ; if this backfires on Nokia , it`s fini , which would be … inconvienient . Third , I`m not planning on buhing athe Iphone or any of Samdung`s , excuse me , Samung`s offerings .
Kamal , the 920 does use flash to focus , same as any other smartphone in night mode .The difference here is that the 920 is programmed to go into night mode automatically in low light , unlike the others , this is a major reason why Nokia claims the 920 is for the average Joe , u don`t have the bother of remembering to put ur smartphone cam into night mode at , well , night lol.
What I find difficult to understand here is why Nokia chooses to be deceptive about this . I get that WP8 is makle or break for Nokia ( largely due to Elop`s and the board`s stupidity ) . BUIT THE lUNIA 920 is a great phone , ahead of it`s compeitors , except for the 808 , and possibly the RAZR Maxx , the Xperia S & T . If this backfires on them ( it has once already ) , Nokia`s finished . What I`d do , were I CEO , is emphasise the 920~s strengths , including automatic night mode , and then get out a truly awesome Lumia , along the lines of the 1001 concept . Oddly , it seems Nokia is doing exactly that , if the 1003 , 1110 , and 1200 r real . So why jeopardise it all now ?? Puzzling …
This is the last time, I am trying to make you understand. Lumia 920 captures picture at ISO 800 while all othe phones go as high as 3200 (iPhone 5). So, you mean to say all other phones other than Lumia 920 are big cheaters as they go to super night mode . This actually proves Nokia’s claim that Lumia 920′s camera takes 4-5 times more light in than competitor’s cam. Lumia 920 has a separate night mode and in that mode it blows away anything that comes its way.

Jerry , I beg to differ . From what I`ve seen , camerawise , the SGSIII isn`t far behind the 920 .
Kamal , from what I`ve seen so far , the 1003 , 1110 and the 1200 should be awesome by all standards !
As for that low light shootout u mentioned , as I remarked in the comments section of that article , if you notice he was careful to specify that all of the phones were in auto mode without bothering to add that the 920 is programmed in low light situations to automatically bring up night mode with flash . Also , if u notice the 808`s first pic , with flash , was much better than the 920`s`…
With Xenon, N8 and 808 PureView can murder any other camera other than perhaps Lumia 920. Putting that aside Lumia 920 being able to capture such fine image without flash is amazing by any standards. Why do you think Apple or Samsung are not able to program to bring “night mode” automatically. This is because you need many ingredients for that OIS, lon-time exposure, larger aperture and finally it is done without flash.
Nokia`s always been the king of imaging, and yes the 920 is revolutionary in that regard . TThat said , I`m sure Samdung ( excuse me Samsung ) will catch up sooner or later . My issue isn`t with the 920 itself , it`s a great phone , but with Nokia`s decptive adverts , trying to make the 920 into a game changer , which it`s not . And I note in passing that it has yet to be matched against either the Razr Maxx or the Xperia S , both great cam phones ..
Oh, but Apple’s Advert or Samsung’s Advert is acceptable? They both claim to be Game Changers. For that matter, ALL the OEMs claim to be Game Changers. They all do it, get used to it…

When they say low light performance, don’t they mean for taking photos and not the ‘screens’? It looks like you’ve just turned down the brightness of the iP5 and turned up the Nokia to maximum.

The SGS III is not even in the same ballpark as the Lumia 920.

Yes , congrats , though that`s not saying too much lol ! BTW , it may be just me but I note that the 920 hAS YET TO BE COMPARED WITH the Sony Xperia S which has a very good cam , and a 12 MP sensor . For that matter , the 920 beats all competitors it`s been matched against , except , obviously , the 808 , but at least two , the SGS III and the One X r close behind the Lumia . Nokia needs to get those 10 sewries Lumias out !
Xperia S is not so hyped even after having a good cam, that’s the reason.1000 series should be just………. awesome
Still why compare only it’s camera…see the other features of iphone 5…
they leave nokia no where…booo-hoooo!!!
May be you are refereing to amazing iOS maps or NFC or wireless charging or supersensitive touch screen or ………………..LOL.
If they are comparing other features of both, lumia 920 will be way better except weight.
You mean like Maps? #justsaying
Now now, be fair. At least iPhone 5 is able to display weather on its home screen, right? No? Oh, wow, damn that sucks dude.
