N82 vs. Samsung U900 Photo Fight! Who Wins?

If you haven't heard Samsung released a 5mp cameraphone with a LED flash. Before the release of the Samsung competitor the Nokia N82 was known as the imaging champion of all cameraphones. Does it still stand as king? Keep reading for a direct photo comparison of the Nokia N82 and the Samsung U900.

I recieved an email the other day from Hamidi from Mobile-Review Forums informing me of this photo quality comparison he's doing. He calls it the 5mp Stand Off. So far it looks like the N82 is really kicking ass in almost all departments, check out the images below...

Samsung U900 left or top, N82 right or bottom (depending on your browser). You can click the images for the original size.



As you can see in those images the Samsung on the left is too bright and is letting in too much light. The term for that is over-exposure correct? Here's another example of this...



Here is a macro shot...



In my opinion this is where the N82 faltered a little. The Samsung U900 gives a little more detail and sharpness.

And should we even try to compare night shots? LED vs Xenon...come on thats not even a fair game. Ehh, why not?



As you can see the LED flash of the U900 looks atrocious, while the N82's xenon flash gives off a nice warm natural light.

So who takes the win? Needless to same the N82 comes out on top with a stellar performance. Still the reigning king of photo quality on a cameraphone. Nokia N82 takes all the glory.



Ok enough gloating. Hamidi gets a huge thanks for this comparison. But don't stop reading here. You can find even more comparison photos over at his post at Mobile Review Forums where he even throws in some Nokia N95 photos for an even closer look at the competition.

This makes me remember why I'm a proud N82 owner.
