If you have clearly seen the above images in zoom mode, at daylight Xperia Z1 cam showed more detailed pics ( true color detailing in pics lacked ) and at night times pics taken from Lumia 1020 were a lot warmer ( not reflecting the true color ) as compared to pics taken from Xperia Z1.

[ UPDATE ]

Folks at TBreak said that they used “auto mode” in both phones, and the pictures were taken as what a normal user will take not a pro.

As Lumia sports 41 MP cam so much detailing in pics can be seen when you zoom them, check the pics in cropped 1:1 ratio.

Well after scaling down the pics to smaller sizes, pics from Xperia Z1 looked more pleasant though it doesn’t mean the it has a better or worse camera.

Xperia Z1 has already been on pre-order across Europe, if you haven’t booked it yet, Book it now.
