What we have here is a photo shoot-out between the largest cameraphone, the most popular Android handset and the favorite point-and-shoot camera. We’ll look at some sample photos to give us a better perspective on how the 41-megapixel PureView technology fares against other favorites.
We did not have time to set up everything but managed to take a couple of shots of the same subject using the Canon S100, Samsung Galaxy S3 to pit against the Nokia 808 PureView. I wish we had a better set up but the initial results shown here gave us a better picture.
Here’s a shot from a Canon Powershot S100.
Here’s a similar shot using the Nokia 808 PureView.
Here’s a similar shot using the Samsung Galaxy S3.
Notice that the background on the 808 PureView is blurred and more smooth than the one on the S100 and S3. The camera reacts differently on harsh exposure and compensates for sudden the differences (this was taken around 2PM in a sunny afternoon).
Here’s another shot using the Nokia 808 PureView.
Here’s the same shot using the Samsung Galaxy S3.
Again, the out-of-focus areas of the image are smooth, looks nice and the depth-of-field is very evident.
So far, the Nokia 808 has very promising and really impressed us in the camera department.
You can download the raw photos from the Nokia 808 (here and here) and the Galaxy S3 (here and here) should you wish to inspect closer.

yung S100 kung iset mo sa lowest aperure value cguro mas magiging blurred yung background. para sakin mas maganda ang kuha ng S100 sa photos mo dito.
Berkano says:
Imagine a Lumia with Windows Phone 8 and PureView tech (it doesn’t even have to be a 40 megapixel monster). that would extremely sweet, me thinks.
Marcelino says:
Na-disappoint akong malaman na i-dudump ng Nokia ang Windows 8 for their current Lumia Series.
Sinayang nila ang N9 before, pati ba naman ang Lumia 900!
Sana maglabas sila ng dual- or quad-core Windows 8-running Lumia 808 PureView.
Nokia, may competition kasi eh. Onting aggressiveness naman oh! Hahaha!
showbiz says:
How come nokia 808 captured different shade of green compared to S3 and S100?
William C says:
Just Curious, how many megabytes is a typical 41-Megapixel picture.
And will your typical low-mid end PC opens such big pictures with ease?
Guest says:
Sir, maganda siguro kung itest siya using fixed ISO para may constant ka, parang macompare talaga. Kumpara naman sa all auto settings na labo labo ang variables. Opinyon lang! :D
Derrick says:
the s100 and the s3 images looked too identical so
I right-clicked the Samsung Galaxy s3 plant image and here’s what i got: http://d3ey1jszekfdqt.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/s100-sample.jpg
HiERARCH says:
parang mas ok talaga ang s100 e in raw shots. pero may potential pa siguro na mas maging maganda ang PureView kapag ginamitan ng ibang photo editing programs. mas mataas kasi ang pixel density ng PureView at 41mp.

kung titignan mo yung shots ng canon s100 at samsung galaxy s3 parang nagmukhang plastic yung halaman. Maganda ang color rendition ng Pureview. Nakakita na ako ng ganyang halaman kaya alam ko yung totoong kulay niyan.

Hey! says:
Yung picture ng S100 at S3 iisa lang. Anu ba yan! Pakiayos naman!
Mikoy says:
same file photo lang ang sample shot ng s100 and s3 wtf
roiji says:
mas tama yung color nung Nokia Pureview 808…
gboy says:
@Hey and Mikoy.
Bulag kaba? Or nag pa bulag2xgan lang?. .
Tingnan niyo ng maigi ang backround ng s3 at s100 if same ba. ULOOL
Danny says:
Alin po ba sa plant pictures ang kuha o halos pareho dun sa plant na kinunan mo. Di naman siguro tama na sabihin yung 808 maganda na hindi mo ikumpara sa kinunan mo mismo.
Mas kapareho ba ng 808 pics ung kinunan mo? O mas maganda lang ang kulay o pag ka green ng canon at s3 pero malayo ang color sa tanim na kinunan?
Paris says:
I’d like to know if you were able to use a tripod in conducting this shoot?
NemOry says:
S3’s camera came out the BEST!
epol says:
canon S100 is not a dslr camera! so you can’t adjust the settings eg. apperture, focal length and shutter speed. nokia pureview 808 is just simply amazing in photo shoot.
