The camera has become one of the basic features in phones, like messages and making calls, and it is no longer just a secondary addition to our devices, and because companies know this, they devote an essential part of the conferences to reveal their devices to talk about the new in the camera. In this article, we try to review photography in the major leading and competing devices in the phone market now.
Each company seeks to add new features to its cameras, Samsung boasted of the ability to photograph the front and back camera at the same time, and Apple reviewed many advantages in photographing its spoiled device, and Sony introduced a 20.7-megapixel camera phone and other advantages. In the following lines, we review side by side the cameras of some devices in order to know which are better in normal, panoramic, video, and more.
The devices that will be compared are:
- Apple iPhone 5S
- Nokia Lumia 1020
- Samsung S4
- Sony Xperia Z1
- Motorola Moto X
- HTC One
- LG G2
user interface:
The first thing that anyone meets when using any feature of the phone is the user interface, and the easier it is, the more liked the user. But the easier it is and the more features it has, the more the user will prefer it. For example, both LG and Samsung offer automatic photography only, but Apple and HTC come with AE / AF control features. As well as both Sony and Nokia phones have full control over the features of the camera with their support for automatic photography of course, some may think that the automatic control mode is the easiest and best, but sometimes the conditions are inconvenient or the camera sensors read wrong readings here comes the role of manual control of the device .
See photos of the photography interface in different phones:
Apple interface:
Nokia interface:
Samsung interface:
Sony interface:
HTC interface
Motorola interface
LG interface
Suspension: The best here is Nokia 1020 as it has a specialized user interface that puts you in control of almost all the capabilities of the camera.
Still images:
Still photography is the most common type of image we take. Apart from talking it is better, let's see a comparison between the pictures in the different situations:
Firstly, photos taken in normal lighting

comment: Here comes a phone Nokia An effortless winner in the competition to mention, the pictures are rich in detail and contain good colors thanks to the huge sensor of the camera, of course. And a camera Camel Comes second behind her.
Low-light photography
One of our biggest problems when photographing is low light, it is known for good lighting, good photography, and to overcome this problem. Companies resort to several solutions in order to treat this problem, and they either expand the aperture, improve the flash, or some companies apply both solutions. Let's look at the photos in low light:

Samsung
Sony
HTC
Motorola

Comment: It did Nokia Here a great job, in addition to the large aperture and the huge sensor size, she added a very powerful xenon flash. Of course, the Nokia phone won again here thanks to its good photographic capabilities, but there was a phone HTC To catch up close to it because the company has put the second largest sensor in this group.
Panoramic photography:
One of the beautiful and little-used features in the pictures is the panoramic image through which you can take a picture of the place around you, Apple added the feature in iOS 6, and Google in Android in 4.2, but the latter raised the competition ceiling and made it 360 degrees instead of the usual 180. It is noteworthy that there were many applications in the Apple Software Store that supported this feature long before this update

Comment: Filming came IPhone Here is a strong competitor For Samsung They both produce a good image. The image of the iPhone excels in most of the specifications except for the image density, so the image of Samsung excels, and none of the other phones have competed in this classification.
Video shooting:
We have many occasions and we need to photograph a specific event with a video camera, such as when someone speaks to a speech or at an event or even a sporting event, here comes the phone camera to provide a quick solution.
Watch the photography comparison between the cameras:
comment: Although the Nokia 1020 phone produces high-quality video, thanks to the optical stabilization, the Galaxy camera has been able to produce video quality close to it.
Comment iPhone Islam
Cameras are one of the essential things in phones, but usually it is not the decisive point in purchasing the device. The main factor in choosing is the operating system, and the camera is an aid. For example, you want to buy an "Android" device, so you start to differentiate between S4, Z1, One and so on. There is no doubt that the Nokia 1020 camera is among the best, if not the best, in the world. So if you want the best camera for Windows Phone, your choice is Nokia, and if you want the best iPhone camera, your choice is 5S. As for Android, you will find fierce competition in which One excels in low-light photography, and S4 excels in video and others.

Of course Lumia is better... The camera sensor is 41 megapixels. I recommend the Lumia 1020.
God is the best thing. XNUMX Nokia is the best for sure
Whoever talks about the number of pixels is wrong. There are many advantages in the camera that are more important than pixels.
Is it possible that the Sony camera does not excel in anything ?????? !!!!!!!!!!!!
Nokia is photographing superior to the N90 model
I hope that Apple puts visual communication within the communication options and not through an external program that relies on the Internet or Wi-Fi, this is unfair because mobile companies in some Arab countries sell Apple devices without the video calling program
I see Nokia as superior in the field of camera, and we hope that the rest of the companies have the limit that I want the phone to be complete in all respects
How to zoom video shooting from iPhone 4
Thank you, iPhone Islam, the comparison, but it is forbidden. The Nokia Lumia XNUMX is among the comparison until a mobile phone comes with the features of the Lumia XNUMX camera, XNUMX megapixels, explicit comparison. Good luck
I don't see any mention of BlackBerry 10 devices like the Z30 & ZXNUMX, they all have a high-resolution camera.
Best cameras: 5- iPhone. 5- LG. XNUMX- Samsung. But I've tried all the phones except Samsung. It's impossible to try it. I don't like it. But Apple's cameras don't have clarity. I wish the iPhone XNUMXc,,, XNUMXs cameras were better 😉
I want to know why, when taking photos with the iPhone flash, the eyes are still not visible in the picture
please reply
And thank you iPhone Islam
I thank the brothers Yvonne Islam for this neutral comparison
The most important feature of Nokia Lumia 1020 is not the automatic shooting, but rather the many possibilities for editing before shooting, such as focus, zoom, shutter, etc.
Brings it closer in this respect to semi-professional cameras
iPhone 5 is a tough number in any competition
There is a lot of disappointment with the Sony Xperia ZXNUMX
And while he was supposed to compete with the elders, he was at the rear
Nice comparison
But some differences are minor and not noticeable
For night photos
The displayed image for Nokia
The bus lights are clearly visible on the road and the bus is not present
This mode only results from adjusting the shutter speed with the camera and making it slow
And this one, in turn, works as a light for the place
But it was surprising that the shutter speed is only controlled by professional cameras
Is it really present in Nokia?
Or the picture is out of place
With all due respect to the writer of the topic and his wonderful efforts, I see that he underestimated Sony's right and kept him away from the competition once and for all! I hope to repeat the comparison again, as well as taking official statistics from specialized photography sites. Thank you.
Thanks for the article
Nice work from the most beautiful people.
In terms of photography, the Sony ZXNUMX mobile camera is considered the best after Nokia in terms of numbers and performance. Sony has several patents on the subject of colors and natural color capture.
I own the Sony and the iPhone and I think that the iPhone is better in all respects except for the camera, without bias ...;)
Hi
According to my reading of international sites, Nokia comes first, then Sony and iPhone almost in fifth place
I can't understand when comparing the photos in normal light mode, how the iPhone was nominated for second place? In my opinion it doesn't even deserve tenth place. Look how the sky is purple instead of blue
You forgot Apple's slow motion.
The iPhone camera is a failure, a failure, a failure. The iPhone is going from bad to worse. Every time I buy a new iPhone, I regret it. As for the…
The iPhone 5C is a disaster, I wish they did not download them in the first place, and God is a funny device All I saw was your Samsung Galaxy, where you talked and criticized their devices. I imagine if the iPhone had not changed and the change came to be revolutionary and radical, Apple would organize to Nokia after several years.
In the panorama, the winner was HTC on all devices, the second place for the Galaxy, the third for the iPhone, the five S
Something new in iOS7, the clock app in the background is moving
Best of Apple and Samsung
This article cannot be called its content by comparison.
When comparing, the same angle and scene must be used for each of the cameras to be compared.
It is wrong to compare the two cameras using two completely different image composition results
I did not understand
I own an iPhone 4s and a Galaxy S3
When I do a scanner from the same CamScanner app
On the two devices, there is a difference in the quality of the image when it is printed on paper
Quality printing for iPhone, the image is clearer and more realistic
Also, when the image is transferred to Facebook, the iPhone is preferred as well
An excellent topic, but I think that the Nokia Lumia 1020 is the best of several, we suggest zoom and focus instead of the built-in Nokia programs for imaging. I tried this device from one of my friends and saw the beauty of photography even though I am an iPhone user. The remarkable and thank you ...
My camera is better
One of the most amazing articles I read
Thank you and forward
I own a Nokia XNUMX phone
Does not contain a camera
It does not contain map service.
It does not contain internet services
It is an unbreakable device
For this it is the best
Greetings
Good scientific comparison
And a search for which you thank the iPhone Islam
The problem with photography on the iPhone XNUMX and beyond is that when taking pictures, the image is not a complete screen, and even when browsing the images, it is not full screen, meaning it is square, but slightly larger than it, as the image area in the Fur S phone is a full screen and thus it is the same size as the XNUMXSV screen The iPhone XNUMX is what makes me say that the camera so far does not support the iPhone XNUMX, unlike video shooting, which comes with a wide screen. Please explain this matter to me
In filming the Galaxy Note 3 video, it replaced the Galaxy S4!
Is the Sony lost to this degree ??????? It's not good for anything, despite the power of the camera
I like the Nokia camera very much
But as a use of all the features of the device remains the iPhone
A leader who is interested in photography, is indispensable for a special camera
And the iPhone camera does the job for capturing memories
Hello . .
Own an iPhone 5S. .
The user interface is easy but there is no control over anything. Is this true? Not in turning on and off the automatic stabilization or focus or face detection... or the image size or resolution, etc. Is this true or I cannot access these capabilities? My brother owns an HTC One and controls almost everything.
Secondly, when I took a picture and took 10 pictures and cleared the best among them, does he save the rest loaded onto the device or does he automatically save them? Or how to browse them in the first place
Thank you
Brother, you cannot reach it
Your love is clear for the iPhone
In the still image, the Sony’s superiority is clear with more realistic colors, and the image of Apple was in this way ,,, on what basis it was preferred over the Sony ,,, I hope to try the Sony camera after the latest update from the company
the world of technology
@3rb_tec
Frankly, I think you wronged HTC and LG too. Honestly, HTC is one of the best cameras, frankly, better than the S4
Greetings to you (the technology world) ..
It is a bitter fact that we see this strong bias from the iPhone Islam to the iPhone device even though Android devices are superior to Apple and in great stages, and here we find the unfair comparison that was marginalized by the strength of the (SONY XPERIA Z1) device, which is considered the first device supported by a lens with (G technology Which gives the captured image full and real colors, but it seems that the images were taken in automatic mode, which is known to differ from one device to another, but if the imaging was on one level of the settings, we would have seen a big difference in the images .. How can a device carrying a (8MP) camera be compared to another that carries a G-technology lens of (20.7MP) or (34MP). We do not disagree that the devices are high-tech, but do fair it, iPhone Islam, and do not take sides with one company at the expense of another In order not to lose your credibility ..
The best camera that you did not put in comparison, unfortunately, is the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 camera, some people think that it is the same camera as the S4, but the truth is that it is completely different.
Video comparison is for Note XNUMX
And some pictures may be for the note because all phones are talk
You are right, I have the iPhone 3, the best photography phone so far, the Galaxy Note XNUMX
Here is a review of the five best camera devices
Like to appear to readers ,,
Peace be upon you and God's mercy and blessings. As you said in the previous article, the camera is a basic form of attracting people to phones. The camera comes in third place after the phone and text messages. If I see that Apple has not achieved the required form in the camera, we need a lot of improvements in it. In the iPhone 8, it is not enough to take pictures. Every person wishes to own an excellent phone for taking pictures and deserves to take pictures with it. I hope that Apple will come in the upcoming updates with better photography and focus mainly on the camera collapse tool in the iPhone. Some companies have surpassed Apple not only in terms of the camera but in other tools.
If Nokia produces digital cameras, it will return to the top again
Hi
I own a Nokia Lumia XNUMX phone, and it greatly outperforms all competitors in all respects. And even it surpasses the Samsung camera in terms of imaging quality. It also excelled in the fact that the Lumia is a phone and is characterized by being thinner than a Samsung camera.
Perhaps you cannot judge here on the quality and power of the camera because the comparison is on the screen of each device itself, where we notice the convergence of the level, but the real measure is when the images are transferred to the computer screen.
Another note: The Lumia phone uses XNUMXMP photos for sharing, not the super high quality (XNUMXMB).
Sorry for the long, but the zoom feature has not been tried in all of the above, and I hope to see what Nokia is doing in this area.
A jar of a pen: I still don't realize how Nokia got out of the panorama experience !!!
Dear brother, I intend to change the iPhone, especially after the new software
There are many problems, and I think it is the beginning of the collapse of Apple
I hope that your information will help me as a Nokia user
How is the device from a safety standpoint?
How is the performance of the device in the Windows system
Is the device practical and easy to use
What are its advantages over the rest of the devices for you
Thank you very much and most respect
Impossible received like Nokia cameras in photography !!!
In my opinion, Nokia is better at still photos in any lighting, while Samsung is better at panorama and video is better
This is something that no one can hide from the power of Nokia's camera
But I think it also failed for her, because although the company put 20 megapixels, which is 11 megapixels more than Apple, it is still a competitor to Apple and other companies.
This indicates the lack of services in terms of quality. So suppose that Apple, Samsung, or HTC carry this pixel size and the same services available, it will surpass Nokia
This is just an opinion
Thank you for the wonderful effort
Nice topic, great comparison 👍
I will not judge, as a prince, that it is a professional camera, except when I photograph my face and it looks as beautiful as I see in the mirror other than this, it does not take me out
What is important and most important, my brothers, may God reward you, do not forget to pray for your brothers
Special thanks to Yvonne Islam
Apple has excelled in the panorama, but Apple's lie in filming the night has become exposed, as it is one of the worst cameras, and I will not believe in any clear night image of the iPhone at night without modification and the weirdness is that the images displayed in general have a strong spray that does not appear in the phones' cameras and light filtering too. Most people who have tried the quality of the phones cameras I am XNUMX- Nokia XNUMX- Sony XNUMX- Samsung XNUMX- Apple
