  • Let’s all stop kidding ourselves. The Nokia N8 is the best god-damn camera phone out there

    The iPhone 4S may be the new kid on the block but the Nokia N8 that’s over a year old is still the big daddy when it comes to taking spectacular pictures — no exceptions. Just take a look at these snaps! If we didn’t know any better we’d say that they all came from a DSLR or at the very least, a very capable prosumer point-and-shooter.

    Pity we can’t say the same about the phone that’s bolted on to the 12MP camera of the Nokia N8.

    We’ll be the first to admit that we’re not fans of Symbian in whatever iteration currently or previously available, but if Nokia had half the mind to carry over that wonderful N8 camera to a Windows Phone 7.5 device, now we’re talking. We would probably get that in a heartbeat.

    Wouldn’t you agree?

    1. And take a look on Engadget's trolling new post, I kinda impressed where they could make N8's quality look so bad when compared to iphone 4s and even iphone 4 :S

    2. We couldn't agree with you more. Here's a more definitive comparison: http://www.pcworld.com/article/241955-2/smartphon…

    3. I still wont say much, why dont soyacincau get a ip4s and compare it directly with the n8.

      I still dont trust any site especially engadget, everyone knows that site is an apple fanboy…
      it seems even soyacincau is taking sides??? i prefer if you had been more objective.

    4. I love the headline… i dont have the N8 or an iPhone but i think the extra 4mp on the N8 surely trumps the iPhone

    5. A person is delusional to discredit the N8 from the throne of Best Camera on a Phone. (sry couldn't bare putting 'camera phone', or else the phone part would need to be considered, which isn't pretty).

    6. I have the N8. Some of the pics from the N8 topped my old leica.

      but the phone is something else lah

    7. So are you suggesting that iPhone 4S is the best camera?

    8. Best camera on probably the worst smart phone OS. If it runs on Bada, won't be as bad. Haha
