HTC Asks If You Can Tell Which Image Was Shot With a Smartphone

I only got 4/10. I suck.

Don't feel bad... I got 3. I thought I was doing really well because every time I clicked it would put a box around the one I clicked saying "cell phone image" so I thought it was marking them right. Then I realized it was just marking my answers.

I will call it a smartphone if I yell "Where's my freakin phone?" and it answer "I'm here, under your blanket."

I got 6/10. About halfway through I got kind of annoyed that they weren't showing the scene shot from each camera. If you shoot an object from 4 inches away w/ the phone, the background will be blurred out. Then shoot a landscape at f/22 w/ any DSLR and you'll have near-limitless DOF + diffraction, making it look like a crappy camera was used.

LOL or shout that in a room w/ a group of people who all have smartphones, and they all answer back at one time: "I'm in your pocket"

Actually the S3 can be woken up by you saying "Hi Galaxy" So we're getting there

8/10 here...

lol 7/10 for me but i was guessing.

I tried twice, 3/10 on my first try and 5/10 on my second. So yeah, I suck.

I wonder what their "professional" camera and lens combo was and who was operating it. Moreso I'm curious whether the images chosen were the best someone in their marketing department could do, or if someone who knew what they were doing intentionally tried to even the field by playing to the strengths of the camera phone and ignoring the strengths of the DSLR.

i got 9/10 and some of my photography group friends got 9/10 too

It would be a better test if they were the same scene with both cameras.

I thought I was the only one who did that

I got 4/10, but I found it hard to tell when the photos where completely unrelated so no Dof markers.

Working on my laptop to so colours all look crap

5/10

For me, it was a "which shot is the crappiest" for me and then click the other one cause its advertising right?

I only got 4/10, but I've used stamps that were physically larger than those were on my monitor.

why? lots of trickery involved.

comparing completely different images
low res web sized photos
optimal condition shots

the devil is in the details.
