**Outdoor Shots: A Comparison between Poco and Nokia 8.1**
In this comparison, we will be evaluating the outdoor shots taken by both the Poco and Nokia 8.1 smartphones. The Left side of the screen shows the Poco, while the Right side displays the Nokia 8.1. We take note that the Poco seems to have done better in these outdoor shots compared to the Nokia. For instance, notice the bike - it appears more sharply defined on the Poco, whereas on the Nokia, it looks slightly washed out.
**Dynamic Range and Color Temperature**
We then examine the dynamic range of both smartphones in a direct sunlight setting. The results show that the Poco has a better dynamic range compared to the Nokia. In another shot taken from the roof garden, we can see that the Poco produces more accurate colors, whereas the Nokia appears to have a cold tint.
**Evening Before Sunset and Macro Shots**
In the evening before sunset shots, both smartphones perform well, but with slight variations in terms of dynamic range. When zoomed in, however, the Poco seems to produce more detail in close-up macro shots compared to the Nokia. Furthermore, notice how accurately the wall is rendered on the Poco - it produces a more pleasing image.
**Portraits and Harsh Backlight**
We then move on to portrait mode shots, where both smartphones struggle to handle harsh backlight conditions. However, when using the Bouquet mode, we observe that the Poco performs slightly better in terms of skin tone accuracy compared to the Nokia. Additionally, notice how the Poco evenly illuminates the subject's face, making it appear more pleasing.
**Bouquet Mode and Portrait Shots**
We repeat some shots taken in the Bouquet mode and compare them to the same shots taken in regular mode. The results show that both smartphones struggle with harsh backlight conditions in low-light environments. However, when using the Bouquet mode, the Poco seems to produce a more pleasing image compared to the Nokia.
**Portrait Mode with Artificial Lighting**
In artificial lighting conditions, we find that the Nokia performs better than expected, producing a sharper image compared to the Poco. Interestingly, however, in low-light environments, both smartphones struggle to deliver optimal results.
**Front-Facing Camera Analysis**
When examining the front-facing camera of both smartphones, we notice that the Nokia tends to produce over-sharpened images, resulting in an unnatural look. In contrast, the Poco produces more natural-looking images, making it a preferred choice for selfies and front-facing camera shots.
**Rear Facing Camera Analysis**
Finally, we examine the rear facing cameras of both smartphones. While neither performs exceptionally well, the Poco's ISP seems to have an edge in Bouquet mode shots, resulting in better skin tone accuracy and tones compared to the Nokia 8.1. However, individual results may vary, and it is essential to try out the camera on your own device before making a final decision.
**Conclusion**
In conclusion, both smartphones show promise, but with varying degrees of success. While the Poco excels in certain areas, such as macro shots and Bouquet mode shots, the Nokia 8.1 shines in others, like low-light conditions and front-facing camera performance. Ultimately, it is crucial to consider individual needs and preferences when choosing between these smartphones.
