battery drain on N5 is definitely an issue but isnt something I was particularly concerned with - coming from an S3 whose battery erodes in realtime!


Interesting. Do post comparisons. Thanks for the data point in bold.

I've not used the 816 outside of a showroom so can't comment but this is interesting. Did you compare low-light performance without flash without a bright light source behind the subject?

To me - motion blur in shooting my son is my biggest annoyance - low dynamic range is a problem in S3 too, but is far lower in my priorities.

I will rate Nexus 5 camera as mediocre at best. Moreover, it gets really hot if I use it for 10-15 minutes. Also, it drains the battery much faster than any other phone I have used. I find Oneplus One camera much better than my Nexus 5.

I personally checked Nexus 5 and HTC Desire 816 at couple of Croma stores and in no way I could convince myself that Nexus 5 has a great camera!

Mediocre at its best. And when I compared the camera of Desire 816 with Nexus 5, I was amazed to see the camera quality of Desire 816 to be way better than Nexus 5. Nexus 5 suffered from poor quality photos especially when taken with bright light source behind the subject while this was not the case with 816.

Nexus 5 has an average camera without a doubt.

I probably missed the vital post, but: which Oppo model are you guys talking about?

You cannot judge a camera after using it for a couple of minutes without checking the results per pixel on a computer screen.

So I borrowed my friend's N5 and did a quick comparison with Oneplus One

Oneplus on the left and Nexus 5 on the right.

Did you use HDR mode for the Nexus 5?

Both Oneplus and Nexus 5 had HDR disabled. I usually don't use HDR as it makes my pic look unrealistic. I like the shadows as long as it does not get grainy.

BTW, I did shoot some pics with HDR enabled, but the N5's pics still had that haze.

Is there a way by which I can capture screenshots on my Moto G2??
