It has been a week of camera comparisons. Since the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 came out last week, the Sony Xperia Z3v came out this week, and the Sony Xperia Z3 come out next week, I have been spending a lot of time working with the Sony Xperia Z3, Z3 Compact, and Samsung Galaxy Note 4.
I thought that comparing the Sony Xperia Z3 to the OnePlus One would be enough; however, when I compared the camera of the Sony Xperia Z3 and the Sony Xperia Z3 Compact, there were some differences, and if we are nothing else here, we are thorough with camera comparisons. So here is goes. The camera comparison of the Sony Xperia Z3 Compact and the OnePlus One.
Last week, the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 was released in the United States. It will undoubtedly be the most expensive as well as the most powerful phone on the U.S. market.
That doesn’t necessarily mean that it will be the best phone on the market. The best phone on the market is always up for a debate. That’s why I have declared it to be the iPhone 6 Plus. Apple has innovated the smart phone once again with a larger phone and a mobile payment system.
If you are a member of the OnePlus community, you know that it is one of the most frequently asked questions in the OnePlus forums. Which one is better? The Sony Xperia Z3 or the OnePlus One. As we do a lot of camera comparisons here, this is the most popularly demanded camera comparison to date, so here it is.
Both the OnePlus One and the Sony Xperia Z3 have amazing cameras. While the Sony Xperia Z3 is 20.7 MP, the OnePlus One is 13 MP and it supports RAW photos. On the other hand, the Sony Xperia Z3 has a physical camera button, one feature that I personally love on phones. The OnePlus One has a 5 MP front camera while the Sony Xperia Z3 has a 2.2 MP front camera. Clearly, both cameras are better in different ways.
Last Sunday, the Nokia Lumia 530 was released in the United States. While it is supposed to be the successor to the Nokia Lumia 520, the specs are inferior to the Nokia Lumia 520. In fact, the camera can’t even focus. I ended up finding that the Nokia Lumia 635 would be a much better idea for comparisons, even though it has been available since June.
I have been spending a lot of time with the Moto G over the last couple weeks. I compared the camera to the Nokia Lumia 635, iPhone 6, and the Moto X and also wrote a full review.
In writing all of these comparisons and reviews, one thing was for sure. If I don’t compare the camera of the Moto G to the OnePlus One, I would get crucified for snubbing the holy grail. After all, there is no one more passionate about their phones as OnePlus One owners.
As a very proud OnePlus One owner, I spend a good amount of time in the OnePlus forums. We are an eccentric group. In fact, if there is one group that is the most enthusiastic about the phone they own, it’s OnePlus One owners, probably because we had to work so hard to get it.
Then again, the Nokia Lumia 1020 is a cult classic. If there could be a group that is more emphatic about their phones as the OnePlus One, it is Nokia Lumia 1020 owners.
Throughout these comparisons, I have received numerous requests for comparisons between the HTC One M8, Nokia Lumia 1020, and OnePlus One. The scope of this review will be to compare the OnePlus One and the HTC One M8.
Both the Moto X and the OnePlus One are amazing in different ways. The OnePlus One and the Moto X both use 2.5 GHz Snapdragon 801 processors and a 13 MP rear camera. They are also both fantastic phones for the prices they are sold for, but that’s about all they have in common.
The OnePlus One beats the Moto X in specs. It uses 3 GB RAM and has a 5 MP front facing camera where the Moto X uses 2 GB RAM and a 2 MP front camera. The OnePlus One sells their 16 GB model for $300 and Motorola sells the 16 GB Moto X for $500.
The Moto X is poised to be the best Android phone this year, so it stands to reason that we should compare it with it’s competitors. So far, we’ve done the Nokia Lumia 1020. This will focus on the OnePlus One.
This is the first in a series of installments comparing the camera of the iPhone 6 Plus to competing flagship phones. This column will focus on the OnePlus One, which is a phone that has a brilliant camera despite its faults.
That’s it. I’m done with these guys. First, I get my OnePlus One and the multitouch doesn’t work. Then, I find out that in order to get customer service, you have to fill out a form and wait over two weeks for a response. When they do respond, they just tell you to deal with it. You think it’s bad when you call up an 800 number and they make you wait for an hour? Try two weeks.
But it was ok. I was patiently waiting for the StyleSwap covers that were “Coming Soon”. But guess what? They can’t handle customer service, they can’t handle making a phone that works right, and they can’t make a removable back right either.
