The Lumia 900 features an 8 megapixel camera with a somewhat larger f/2.2 aperture, auto focus, and dual LED flash. The iPhone 4S features an 8 megapixel camera with a large f/2.4 aperture, auto focus, and LED flash. How does it measure up?įrom a tech specs perspective, it looks like a close race. But nowhere near as clear, crisp, and color correct as the iPhone 4S.Īnd now I have a Nokia Lumia 900. ![]() Some of the Windows Phone 7.5 handsets we saw last October at the launch event, include the Lumia 800, HTC Titan and even the Samsung Focus S which I eventually settled on, all offered decent cameras, much nicer than anything from the first generation Windows Phones. Since experiencing the iPhone 4S camera, I’ve been looking for a Windows Phone handset that can approximate that device, offering a combination of quantity (8 megapixels or higher) and quality (like the iPhone’s HDR capabilities) that matches or maybe even surpasses it. It’s not quite a viable replacement for a point and click camera. The iPhone 4S camera raises the bar for what people expect from smart phone cameras much in the same way that the original iPhone raised the bar on our overall smart phone expectations. And we did, though whatever improvements we saw were rightfully overshadowed by the absolutely incredible-by smart phone standards-camera that Apple included with the iPhone 4S. There wasn’t a single decent camera among that first generation of devices, and I was hoping that we’d see some better alternatives with the second generation, Windows Phone 7.5-based handsets. There are bogus complaints and then there are legitimate complaints.Īnd while few aspects of even the first generation of Windows Phone handsets were truly disappointing, the one that always rankled was the low quality of the included cameras. But it does set a new high water mark for Windows Phone devices, with some nice camera features like widescreen stills and scene choices. Sadly, the Nokia Lumia 900 is not that phone. ![]() Windows Phone users have long wished for a handset with a camera that can rival that of the industry leading iPhone.
