Guys what is the correct way of doing a comparison you suggest , to be perfectly even for both the cameras . is it ok I down size the original resolution so they can be uploaded on our forum or you have a better idea of having a right comparison ? I have clicked pictures from both the phones but want readers to see a proper unbiased compassion .
To have a proper comparison the images should not be manipulated at all, so upload the files to google drive, or dropbox and share it, people interested will download it and post their feedback here.

share the link of your clicked pictures with full res images, share it here, and if you can post the downsized images here and link as well.
Else only link would do with the high resolution images.

Congratulations Raja on your purchase.

When I purchased my phone (Dell Streak 5), who ever saw that was saying only one thing - 5" is too much ! Now, all are having 5" or higher :). I still use the same as I never found a reason to change (rooted/removed systems apps to make lag free). Camera is terrible though.

Nice photos Raja. Worth the money

Congratulations on the purchase. One of the most VFM smartphone ever. And even more with the Camera bug fixed. In low light it's better than even S5.

BTW your rule changed? Started using Google services finally (atleast you need an account for accessing Play Store)? :P

A white version would have looked much better IMO. :P

Just open them with MS image viewer compress them to web page size option and post them.
Gurrala sir I asked "what to do " not " how to do " .

I know how to compress pics and post pictures . you saw the pics in this thread right ? they are compressed and posted .

But for a perfect unbiased comparison of the image quality between 2 cameras you need to evaluate them in their full resolution and not compressed version .

Since our forum doses not allow uploading of full resolution pics so I asked suggestions. Hope you understand now .[:)]


I think better you upload the full resolution pics on Flickr or similar site and share it here.

thanx will upload them in flicker , just give me a day or 2 as I will be travelling .

thanx appus.

You are right I never knew 5 inches would be a norm . but the thinner bezel and light weight helps the nexus 5 to not be cumbersome to use .
Dell streak is extremely sturdy device like most of the dell products , no wondwer you are still using it .

thanx . yes camera is excellent .
I still don't use Google services , I had a old email id which I use even now for apps and for junk emails , and this is not my first android phone . I have all Microsoft services on in nexus 5.
White I personally dint like it does not look like a white phone the way a Lumia or a iPhone looks with front bezel white too , the nexus 5 in white looks like a Oreo cookie to me lol , something like a after thought .

what is your view on nexus 5 vs Sonly xpria Z ? [:D]
The Z looks stylish , is water proof but has sub standard screen with not great viewing angles plus not great camera and also not the latest processor . if looks are imp the Sony Z looks cool but rest other things nexus 5 outclasses it .


@ all

Give me 2 days time or maybe even early if I get time I will post a flicker link for comparison. Lumina 925vs nexus 5 .

But all in all I am extremely happy with nexus 5 camera and moreover the inbuilt editing software Google has provided , both apple and Microsoft need to learn from Google . Nokia's creative studio editing app is not even 5% good compared to what Google has provided .
Of course Nokia has many high quality apps regarding the camera like smart shot , action shot and all . but editing software native Google gets full marks 100/100 marks .

But basic settings are next to nil in the native camera app , still better then iPhone but no where compared to the native Lumia camera which can provide high quality image manipulation before clicking a picture relatively compared to both native cameras.

But Google has tuned its software and hardware so nicely for the camera that most of time you don't need to go in settings too . ( more on this I will cover in Lumina 925 vs nexus 5 comparison post )

Below are downsized pictures I clicked in a malls basement which had very low lighting . and in coffee shop barista in evening which has typical mood lighting which can be classified as low lighting .I will post original pics and the one which I edited with the native editing app in 1 or 2 mins max .

IMPORTANT-

1) NO FLASH WAS USED IN ABOVE 2 PICS , I NEVER CLICK ANY PICTURE WITH FLASH ON .( if anyone is interested I will click and post pics with flash too )


2) no tinkering has been done on the original pictures , they are just downsized so can be posted here and watermarked as " original " for easy comparative reference .

Congrats Raja on Nexus 5.I had used my friend's Nexus 5 on Monday and got impressed with light weight body,smooth OS.The best phone I have ever seen after 5S.I had suggested my dad to get Nexus 5 replacing his Galaxy Grand.BTW,what happened to your Blackberry Z10?But,Nexus 5 is an excellent upgrade from Blackberry Z10.

I guess,your next upgrade would be iPhone 5S or iPhone 6.

Color is all subjective, and add this - I haven't seen a Nexus 5 so maybe in reality black looks better.

BTW Nexus 5 vs. Xperia Z? lol, are you serious? Nexus 5 is better in everything. The question is itself stupid.

Edios what is so funny and stupid in senior member surfer's question ?

Can't he ask that out of curiosity ?

Kindly don't belittle people , not all keep themselves updated with the latest stuff in technology they may have other passion and hobbies . And you too don't act like a " I know all " expert too .

If you find other members questions stupid kindly chosse to ignore them rather then ridiculing them for no apparent reason .

Btw how are your school vacations going ? You gave your 8 th or 9th standard exam ?

...
Very rightly said Raja and thanks for that.
I don't know why and how people expect others to know everything (what they know) in the world? I work in a IT industry with more than 20 plus experience and I do not know the difference between Nexus 5 vs. Xperia Z, and I am not ashamed either. I will find out more when I am looking for a new phone and above two phones in my consideration, using the similar forums asking the similar questions. Edio's reply is fine till that last sentence, which is uncalled for.

Sorry about the OT.
