bla, 11 Apr 2019Yes, all modern phone cameras make pictures of grass look like a impressionist paintings. :(Obviously with all due respect it seems you haven't had used many modern smartphones cameras or you would't have said these nonsenses nor nokia 808 aparently...as i have said back in the days of 2012 it was charming but again not samsung not iphone of course or NTC that doesn't means that nokia 808 camera wasn't good but with nokia out of the smartphones game fo over a decade of mediocre devices to got the nerve to compair it with it's era finest smartphones cameras it is funny but to comparing nokia 808 with todays modern cameras not flagships but even middle range it is all due respect ridiculous not to say badget smartphones today doing amazing job in all camera fields like video mode or photo mode or colors naturality or idol sharpness background detail or black colors detail or in pictures shadow area but from middle range but to put on the test flagships of today or 4-5 years ago with nokia 808 is a bad joke and i can't get how such a trustworthy web page like Gsm Arena remember the 808 and the obscure Nokia brand after almost 15 years absence of smartphone business it's very strange not to say a little bit weird and again i was ower of nokia 808 back in 2012 and i have many flagships from time to time like iphone, huawei, xiaomi, sony and i'm also a pro-photographer for a fashion magazines or else i wouldn't dealing with that subject!!!

BEST CAMERA-PHONE TILL TODAY [2018]
I managed to develop such workflow, from which i can easily achieve crispy clear 3000x2000 files, without any noise. Of course only in daylight.
Despite the fact, that camera uses FSI sensor it is the biggest till today [2018], even bigger, then in shiny new Huawei P20.
I am in a bit high mood, so I even can share the whole process with all of you.
-1) convert image to 16bit mode
0) Crop extreme borders to throw away blurry corners
1) Apply delicate noise reduction
2) Resize with sharpening to 3000x2000
3) 2-nd pass noise reduction
4) Apply contrast curve
5) Do color processing
6) Apply selective sharpening
7) Ta-da!
Such processing easily outflank cheap image computing from any “modern” device.
Mobile algorithms are optimized for power consumption, so they are not precise, as desktop ones. So dump your iPhoneX, Google P2 to garbage bin.
One more thing, I use hacked camera app with increased effective resolution from 38 to 41.5 mpix. Maximum file size 35Mb. The beauty of N808 is that it provides images in whopping resolution and there is ability to substantially increase output quality. So files are ready for processing. Raw is not needed. What’s the point of it? If you have barely visible sensor.
Here is sample link for your enjoyment. Some random pix from goldie N808.
First 30 pix or so. Full sized images available.

From above mentioned statements I could approximate, that P20 will have nearly N808 quality or maybe the same, but definitely not significantly better. So, guys, 2012 tech is still on the top. Believe it or not. Enjoy computing.

I still use my 808 as my primary phone every day. It's fantastic. The Nokia store sucks, but I now have a Galaxy tablet for the power-user stuff... so as a phone, camera, navigation device and whatsapp messenger, all these in combination, it still kicks ass. Fantastic device still after almost 2 years and more than 6000 photos. It's very sturdy and everything still works.
