iPhone 5S and HTC One M8 compared to the photographic industry : the iPhone clearly beats the rival, with an increased sensitivity to light and color .

There are two competitors in the universe of smartphone(cheap iphone 5 case) industry , yet the similarities between Apple and HTC are not lacking. Not only both companies are responsible for the choice of the materials of their devices , focusing on the aluminum to polycarbonate and other plastics, but also on the photographic industry are bucking the trend. Instead of increasing the infinitely -megapixel cameras , in fact, the two companies will focus on the improvement of individual pixels for increased sensitivity to light. It is therefore easy comparison: the best camera of the iPhone 5S or their babies HTC One M8 ?

To answer this question we thought the drafting iMore , with a long and very complete comparison in similar shooting situations . And, although older than its rival , the iPhone 5S won virtually every competition . It is a fact that surprised - with the enlargement of each individual pixel to 1.5 microns , Apple has beaten many competitors noble while remaining at 8 megapixels - but it is certainly interesting to analyze , consider also the recent innovations in unwanted cameras by HTC.

iPhone 5S is equipped with a 8 megapixel camera ( 2448 × 3264 ) with individual pixels 1.5 microns and af/2.2 aperture equal . The HTC One M8 , however, sees the unique pairing of two cameras rear : the first 4-megapixel (1520 × 2688 ) with sensor UltraPixel , individual pixels of 2.0 micron aperture from f/2.0 and mind, the second camera used to collect information on lighting and depth of field. Both of the devices , finally, have a system of side lighting to facilitate the proper recognition of the scene. Although the megapixel halved compared to the iPhone 5S , the product of HTC wins on paper specifications, precisely because it has an opening and a single pixel size to more sensitive to light , therefore ensuring best shots. In practice, however , the iPhone 5S literally shredded the rival.

In tests, all in auto mode and undertaken with the operating system iOS 7.1 and Android 4.4.2 KitKat and the stock photo app , the iPhone shows a higher compliance than the light, a perfect choice of exposure, most accurate colors and excellent performance even in low light conditions . The HTC One M8 , however, produces shots slightly desaturated colors , the photographs are largely underexposed and the lighting of the scene seems poorly managed . Just the exposure calculation is fallacious in the Android model (cheap iphone 4s cases), perhaps even for improper management software rather than hardware : if the scene is dimly lit , you will get underexposed photos , but if there is an important source of light such as a lamp , the photo will be overexposed, so as to create a halo effect around objects unpleasant taken . For the benefit of HTC, however, there are adjustable by the user and the ISO image resolution which, while stopping to 4 megs , on average produces images equivalent to or even higher than many competitors from 8, 12 or 16 megapixels.

Ultimately, the HTC One M8 is a great alternative to the typical view of the cameras Android universe , but it is still far dall'eguagliare typical results of Cupertino.
