Nokia Asha 303 image quality

Assalamualaikum and good day you guys, oh and for christians, wish you all merry xmas and happy new year. anyway i wanna make a review of the latest Nokia device which is using s40 OS, but with a whooping 1 giga hertz processor! i just bought that device for 2 weeks now, and its suuuper fast better than any old s40 device. and i snap some photos to show you how this phone perform, and if you guys did not know this device, i show you this is Nokia Asha 303!(oh and it is capacitive touch screen, the 1st s40 capacitive touch screen):



Nokia Asha 303 camera specs: 3.2 megapixel fixed focus, face detection, and some effects and self timer, no led flash though

Anyway here is the image quality, start with the outdoor image quality


Outdoor Image quality







Ok for image quality, this phone on out doors is pretty good, the coloring is great, and noise is under control, BUT, the image tends to became white all sudden because of the sunlight and the white sky makes the image turn white fringing. If you look closely at image 2, the tree part,the coloring tends to wash out and became like the green color has been painted. so the color of the tree is not original, buit the other image like 1 and 4 the image of the tree is slightly better than image 2. But give a credit that the image of sea water is great, it was real and the color doesn't change. but the image turns a bit whitish probably because of a sun light.

Shading Outdoor area:







The image is pretty nice for a cheap device,better than fully outdoor image, the noise is low, the colour balance is good and dynamic range is par. but if you look closely, there is a slight over coloured green on the tree, its like the colour of the tree is been painted. and the image turns slightly white fringing when is a bit under a sun, between the whole 5 picture, for me the most excellent image quality is image 2 and 4,with an excellent color balance and less white fringing on whole image.

Macro mode( just want to try it since Nokia Asha 303 does not have auto focus)








Well, well well, the object in this 5 picture are blurred out since there is no auto focus, for example, image 5 the hibiscus flower tends to blurred out but a positive side is the colour and the background of the object is kept under control, low noise and excellent colour balance. Image four and three the object who closest to camera tends to blurred but the other leaf is sharp and clear. image 2 and 1 the closest to the camera is fully blur but the color is really good and acceptable and the image of the coconut is quite good but there is some blur side on the object espeacially near the camera, over all, the macro is quite improvement than the last fixed focus nokia phone.

Indoor image quality:







Well all of the image has alot of noise even in the mid bright enviorment. the image turns yellowish because of the yellow light in the image itself, but the positive side is the image still have some good color rendering and the object of the image is still real and good. i think if Nokia put this device an Led flash like Nokia X2, i think it will be awesome!

Outdoor at night:







Well, if you guest it, it has a lot of noise, and its worse when on outdoor, the image tends to turn dark since there is no led flash and no night mode on the camera(pretty sucks eh?) but on the image 4, the image is the best between the other images since there is a lower noise and good colour balance where as the other image tends to turn the image blur and a lot of noises, even i took it on the spot light.


In conclusion, the phone produce a pretty good image quality( only at the daylight though), even though is only 3.2. megapioxel fixed focus but it has achieved a good image quality, pretty cool for a mid range device, so are you interested by it?? in Malaysia is cost Rm 500 in original Nokia store, i bought it RM 520( at non Nokia store, dammit!) approx. around 150 dollar or 100 euro. anyway thanks for reading and keep in touch on this blog, i will make a review on ther phones, see you guys next time assalamualaikum and good bye.
