On October 16, 2014, Apple announced the iPad Air 2, iPad Mini 3,Retina iMac, and Mac Mini. While there were no improvements to the iPad Mini line aside from Touch ID, the iPad Air 2 was just the opposite. For the first time, Apple used 2 GB RAM and a triple core processor in a device. Compared to other iOS devices, this thing is a powerhouse.
There is one more notable improvement that Apple made to the iPad Air 2. They gave it an 8 MP camera, where the iPad previously had 5 MP. There is still no flash.
Over the last week and a half, I have been spending a lot of time with the Sony Xperia Z3 and the Sony Xperia Z3 Compact. One thing that has blown me away with both of these phones is the amazing 20.7 MP camera. In fact, the Sony Xperia Z3 even outperformed the Nokia Lumia 1020 in low light comparisons.
The scope of this review will be to compare the camera of the Sony Xperia Z3 to the camera of the LG G3. While the camera on the Sony Xperia Z3 is fantastic, the 13 MP camera on the LG G3 is pretty amazing as well with the laser focusing. I’m pretty excited to look at these side by side.
This will be the final camera comparison with the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 before I send back the unit I’m reviewing. So far, I have compared the camera of the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 to the camera of the iPhone 6 Plus, OnePlus One, LG G3, Nokia Lumia 1020, and Sony Xperia Z3. The scope of this comparison will be the cameras of the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 and the HTC One M8.
Both the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 and the HTC One M8 have great cameras, but in completely different ways. The camera on the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 is a high resolution camera, coming in at 16 MP, while HTC takes the ultrapixel approach, working under the belief that a great picture can come from great software.
I have been spending a lot of time with the Samsung Galaxy Note 4. As with all new phones that come out, we compare the camera to competing cameras. So far, we have compared the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 to the iPhone 6 Plus, Sony Xperia Z3, OnePlus One, and Nokia Lumia 1020. The scope of this column will be to compare the camera of the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 to the camera of the LG G3.
For all of the Samsung Galaxy Note 4’s faults, it does have a fantastic camera. The stunning 16 MP camera is not only super fast, but the photos look beautiful on the 1440p AMOLED display. The LG G3’s camera is laser focused, so we can expect to see some really sharp pictures. Let’s start with specs.
The Sony Xperia Z3v is has come to Verizon this week and the Sony Xperia Z3 is coming to T-Mobile on October 29, so as always, we compare the camera to all of its competing cameras.
The Nokia Lumia 1020 is the gold standard of smart phone cameras. It has a 41 MP Pureview camera with a Carl Zeiss lens, a real xenon flash, and support for taking RAW photos. While the Nokia Lumia 1020 was released almost a year and a half ago in July, 2013, it is one of few smart phones released that long ago that remain relevant.
Last week, the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 was released on all of the major carriers. Although the device itself isn’t the best device around, the camera is fantastic, as is with all Samsung devices. When you get a device with a great camera, the next logical step is to compare it to the Nokia Lumia 1020.
The Nokia Lumia 1020 is widely renowned as the best smart phone camera. It has a 41 MP camera, RAW support and a real xenon flash. It is a Pureview camera with a Carl Zeiss lens. It’s just great.
So far I have compared the camera of the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 to the Sony Xperia Z3, iPhone 6 Plus, and the OnePlus One. The scope of this comparison will be the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 and the Nokia Lumia 1020.
Yesterday, the Sony Xperia Z3v was made available on Verizon. On October 29, the Sony Xperia Z3 will be made available on T-Mobile. Somehow, in all that, the Sony Xperia Z3 Compact is lost. Although there is an unlocked version available from Sony’s web site, it won’t be available from any carriers and that’s the reason why Sony has never really taken off in the United States.
After spending the last week with both the Sony Xperia Z3 and Sony Xperia Z3 Compact, I have fell in love with both of these phones. They are both super fast, beautifully designed, and they take fantastic photos; however, the Sony Xperia Z3 Compact lacks a couple of the specs of the Sony Xperia Z3.
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.
Since the Nokia Lumia 1320 has recently gotten the Lumia Cyan update, Nokia was kind enough to send me a review unit. I’m doing with it what I do with all review units: camera reviews! Since the Nokia Lumia 1320 is a mid-range phone, it makes sense to compare it to mid-range phones. The scope of this review will be to compare the Nokia Lumia 1320 to the Moto G.
I’m a big fan of the Nokia Lumia 1320. It is one of very few budget phablets that exist. While some might say that Nokia makes too many different phones, they can be commended for making all sizes available to all price points.
Today, the Sony Xperia Z3v is being released for Verizon and on October 29, the Sony Xperia Z3 will be released for T-Mobile. Sony is widely renowned as one of the best handset manufacturers in the world. We don’t see a whole lot of them here in the United States because they rarely show up with any carriers. The Xperia Z and Z1 were available with T-Mobile and the Xperia Z2 tablet was available with Verizon, but that’s it. This time will be different.
It only makes sense to compare the Sony Xperia Z3 to competing handsets. So far, we’ve compared the Sony Xperia Z3 to the Samsung Galaxy Note 4, the OnePlus One, and we’ve compared the Sony Xperia Z3 Compact to the iPhone 6. The scope of this review will be to compare the Sony Xperia Z3 to the HTC One M8.
