Smartphone camera shootout: iPhone 5S vs Samsung Galaxy Note 3 vs Nexus 5 and more

The Smartphones are getting flooded in the market, major companies are trying to compete with their competitors by launching better Smartphones. All we can see that, the companies are focusing on the features and technology of the handsets- either we look at the screen size, operating system, processes, or the camera, everything is improving. Really, now-a-days Smartphones camera is no less than any DSLR.
At the moment, all the major mobile manufacturer in 2013 has given the best Smartphone with high picture capturing resolution, let us compare head-to-head for top three handsets camera result.
iPhone 5S:
No doubt iPhone 5S is the Apple’s best iPhone ever made. And that’s the reason now Apple stands second most popular camera brand on Flickr after the Canon. It has as almost overtaken every other major camera manufacturers including Nikon as listed on the major websites.
The iPhone 5S have dual camera as the rare camera features an 8-MegaPixel iSight camera with f/2.2 aperture. The lens on it is more the size of the sensor, and that’s important for a camera than its resolution which most of the camera have lower. So, that means  a bigger sensor offers more light for the camera to play and when it's coupled further with the f/22 aperture lens in its way than it should help to improve its chances for capturing badly-li gig.
The capturing shots from iPhone 5s actually delivers fairly impressive pictures and it looks to take less processing time and that even results in sharper images, however the only think can’t compete with the incredible resolution of Nokia Lumia 1020 and HTC One.
Overall the iPhone 5S isn’t much good with its image quality, however the Apple has provided the best camera app and the redesigned for iOS7 is probably the best  and simple camera app available. Moreover, focus is rapid, and can shoot a large amount of shots just by tapping the screen is also a plus point.
Samsung Galaxy Note 3
After a grand success of Samsung’s Galaxy Note 2, the new handset of Sumsung provides much better features with the screen, resolution and camera. Samsung’s Galaxy Note 3 comes with Full HD 1080p, 5.7-inch display, and the best thing is the viewing photos. However, the issue arises with the 13-MegaPixal sensor which seemed to struggle with retaining detail in the low light.
In practice, if you check the results of our Primal Scream efforts than you can observe how the image appears softer but fairly noise free. Hence it takes a little processing time and likely results in the loss of details, however, it does better at cleaning up the extra noise.
The only tough job for Samsung camera it with the app, it just needs to simplify it’s  lots of functionality, but it’s rapid.
Nexus 5
Google’s latest and the cheapest Smartphone and somewhere also ends up being the lower side. However, Nexus 5 has introduced an optical image stabilization with 8-MegaPixal.
So, we can say Nexus 5 a little safer in the imaging feature and the recent camera update has also fixed the issues with its exposure and colour balancing effects.
Nexus 5 has the same issue with the processing and sensor, as it pays hard to capture some quality image. Well, it’s said that Android’s ‘vanilla’ camera app is really good, it’s simple yet have enough functionalities and likely closer to Lumia 1020. The only factor is the price so we can’t say it's a bad camera.
Nokia Lumia 1520
There’s no point in comparing this handset with any of the above still just the outline, it’s the same and also uses a PureView sensor, albeit a lower resolution one. It has a 20-MegaPixal sensor paired with the fantastic Nokia Pro Camera app as same as iPhone’s.
The Lumia 1520 is in the comfort zone with the broad daylight compared to Lumia 1020 and overall it stands out to be a clear winner.
