CURRENTLY TEST IS NOT OPTIMIZED FOR MOBILE VIEW! IMAGE WIDTH > 1280px IS RECOMMENDED! ▒ DIRECT COMPARISON Today’s rival is [Huawei Pura 80 Ultra]
, equipped with nearly the same sensor size on its periscope camera as found in Nokia 808. Despite my earlier promise that [no more photography benchmarks]
would appear on these pages, it seems I’ve broken that commitment.

Since 2025, every reputable cameraphone has featured a 1-inch main camera module. Based upon my personal statistics main camera is used in less than 15% of cases, since everything in the a close range have largely been covered through previous shoots. The true innovation lies in periscope cameras with their ability to bring faraway objects closer to our eye. Moreover, most of [selling photographs]
today are captured using these telescopic lenses.

Recently i’ve stumbled upon the fact that my Xiaomi 15 Ultra, which is running Android 15, lagging in a strange way. I decided to eliminate stuttering by tuning gadget appropriately. Not long ago i solved such problems by [rooting the device]
, but now i simpy don’t have time for such luxury.
In this blip note we will discuss settings, that affect performance of the smartphone by a substantiation margin.
Take a note that not all applications can be removed by means of this non-root method.
First, a brief introduction. In the past, I used a rooted Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact with all the bloatware disabled.
By purchasing a Chinese device, I lost the privilege of using a rooted device. Since modern Android devices are a b#tch to root, and frankly, I don’t want to get involved in that boring process.

If i remember correctly i already promised [not to touch any cameraphones again]
. But what convinced me to take another crack at it was the numerous reviews claiming “it’s the best cameraphone in the world” running Android 13. As you may know, Android 14 brought many groundbreaking changes [at least from my point of view].
Somewhere in the previous posts i have already done [small rant]
regarding the desired specification of modern smartphone. After fiddling around with the latest [Oppo Find X6 Pro]
aka the best modern cameraphone, i come to a conclusion with myself on how the smartphone specification of my dreams should look like. Consider this as a revisited version of the previous document. And yeah, you will surely see the Oppo review in a while when i free myself up from the daily routine.
The time has come for another technology bombshell. You waited for it, didn’t you?
Looking at the atrocious [interfaces of modern applications]
I don’t know when the idea of proper convenience has become obsolete. Maybe around 2013 or so. The time period is debatable, but the main thing here is that we are distancing ourselves not only from real engineering, but more scarily from common sense. The topic affects not only software stuff but hardware products as well.

Finally Nokia PureView 808 set is complete. Red, black and white. Currently i’m not thinking about sale of this treasure chest. But if you are willing to offer good five-digit number amount i may reconsider my statement [or may not]. This will be quite hard decision to accept. Moreover, such bundle in almost like new condition [can’t be bought even on Ebay]
. Anyways, it is surely nice to have set of unique camera-phones in excellent condition, especially if they are not surpassed in daylight resolution even in 2024.

CURRENTLY TEST IS NOT OPTIMIZED FOR MOBILE VIEW! IMAGE WIDTH >1600px IS RECOMMENDED! ▒ DIRECT COMPARISON In the very beginning of the test I underline the fact that we are comparing only resolution and not the dynamic range. In this category older FSI sensor is an outsider, for sure.
▒ BRIEF REASONS TO CONSIDER Very neat phone dialer & sms messenger [device supports 3.5G] High quality audio chip High quality stereo audio recording 3.5mm audio jack Detachable battery pack Solid construction Ergonomically cool due to 4" form factor and unusual shape with camera bump No data mining and user tracking due to obsolescence of Symbian ▒ BRIEF PHOTO ARGUMENTS Awesome resolution and detail Unparallel pixel-wise quality Real glass in lens elements is present [not just plastic sh#te like in modern “flagships” [xiaomi 12s ultra]
No pubertal compute stuff Xenon flash Very well designed camera application Incredible JPG-engine, which easily competes with modern RAW in terms of provided detail Enthusiast mod, which increase resolution to real 41.

I’ve pointed to the fact that Nokia 808 is the most powerful camera-phone in terms of provided detail.
Some time ago, I had a VERY LONG post with detailed comparisons on ugly blogger.
But after I was banned and totally de-platformed from g services I’ve lost all text material of the article.
Don’t have time to revive all stuff completely.
The best thing, which i can do for you is to share archive with all test materials:
pictures in RAW & jpg formats.
