Too many flagship Android phones out there, and Pocket now picked the Samsung S4 and HTC one to fight Apple iPhone 5 and Nokia 808 pureview[Altough it's more than a year old now, but with 41mega pixels big lens makes it still competitive], and now let's have a look which phone gets the best camera:
First things first: we have used automatic settings on all phones (and special scene modes where it was the case). The Nokia 808 PureView was in either five-, or eight-megapixel PureView mode (to try and match the image size of the other contenders) and we have not used lossless zoom while recording video, to keep the fight as fair as possible. On the same note, the Nokia 808 PureView isn’t capable of capturing HDR pictures out of the box.
