Nokia Samsung OnePlus Android

Nokia 8 was announced yesterday with dual 13 MP cameras and Carl Zeiss optics. The first true Nokia Android flagship restarted the debate which high-end device sports the best camera setup.

We decided to put the Nokia 8 against two of the better cameraphones - the Samsung Galaxy S8+ that takes amazing low-light photos and the fan-favorite OnePlus 5 with a 16 MP sensor behind a wide-angle lens plus 20 MP one with a telephoto lens. All three phones work in a completely different way.

A comparison review is on the schedule but until it comes out, check out the specs and tell us which phone do you expect to take the most impressive photos.
