The camera test has been performed in the Netherlands by Felix Hamer with a new 16 GB Nexus 5 and Lumia 1020 with all on auto, flash disabled. For the comparison, the 5 MP images from the Lumia and the 8 MP outputs from the Nexus have been used.

In each test, the crop from Lumia 1020 is on top, while Google Nexus 5 is below.

Daylight: The Nokia delivers richer colors and more details

Indoors: Here, the difference is not so dramatic; Lumia 1020’s picture is as usual well-saturated and sharp

Night, ambient lighting: Nokia’s 5MP output shows more details than Nexus’s 8MP photo. The Lumia puts a slightly yellow cast on the night shots, while the Nexus 5 produces a grey cast.

Night, atmospheric ambient lighting: Nokia Lumia 1020 is far better than the Nexus 5. Nokia produces far less noise and more details

To conclude, the camera test shows that the Nokia Lumia 1020 delivers better colors, less noise and more details compared with the images from the Google Nexus 5. The main reason for that is the huge sensor in the 1020 combined with the oversampling system. As we informed earlier, a new software update will roll out to the Lumia in the coming weeks. The update is expected to further improve Nokia’s imaging capabilities and add RAW support.
