The downsides are that focus is soft when viewed at 100 percent and, as you can plainly see, the camera’s location right in the corner of the case means that – in conjunction with that wide-angle lens – it’s very easy to end up with your finger in the shot when gripping the phone at the corners. Plus, there’s very little evidence of compression artefacts with plenty of detail in the brickwork of St Pancras hotel. The wide field of view means it captures more than most phones, too. This is a well-exposed image with reasonably accurate colours. Rather than re-shooting later in different light conditions, we decided to use the cropped images instead) (Note, we made a mistake with the HTC One M9, shooting at 16:9 instead of 10:7 because it isn’t obvious which is the highest resolution. In each case, we made sure we used the highest resolution available – many Android phones default to 16:9 which chops the top and bottom off the photo for phones with 4:3 sensors. These were all taken from precisely the same spot, so it’s easy to see which have 16:9 and which have 4:3 sensors. Again, most people will rely on auto mode to capture the moment.Īs you’ll see in our shot of St Pancras, the field of view varies between phones. We selected automatic modes and didn’t tap the screen to choose focus or exposure since none of our test shots was designed to trick the cameras: they should all perform well with automatic exposure. It also allowed stabilisation systems to prove their worth, and we ensured they were all turned on where present. All photos and videos were taken handheld, rather than on a tripod because that’s how you’ll use the phone in real life.
