Sure, there’s no question this Nokia-run test is a controlled environment using ideal settings to make the Lumia 925 look as good as possible. Still, for Windows Phone 8 fans it’s a chance to see how the Lumia 925 stands up against some tough competition. Nokia explains the comparison shots were taken using the “same low-lit scenes using the automatic settings for all the pictures.”

We’ve explained how advanced camera algorithms, great engineering and our partnership with Carl Zeiss has led to our most advanced camera on the Nokia Lumia 925 – especially when it comes to low light conditions. But how does that come together in practice?

We’ve taken comparison shots using the Nokia Lumia 925 and a number of its closest competitors, the same low-lit scenes using the automatic settings for all the pictures. We’ve avoided the temptation to make comments, but we think that the differences are pretty striking.

Given that this is a Nokia-sponsored test, take the comparison images with a grain of salt. However, if you’re eager to get your hands on the Lumia 925 when it drops exclusively on T-Mobile, rest assured the camera is one piece of the Lumia puzzle Nokia is putting their best foot forward.
