Recently we’ve got LG K920 for testing; this is one of the first 5MP camera GSM phones available on the market. We’ve decided that it’s a good idea to test it against one of the best currently available 3MP camera phones, and also great rivals – Sony Ericsson (NYSE: SNE) K800 and Nokia (NYSE: NOK) N73.

Let me spoil the ending for you:
As we expected, in almost all of the test LG K920 showed better ability to resolve detail than it’s 3 megapixel rivals. No surprises here. It also showed amazing macro capabilities and better dynamic range. What stops us from highly recommending it is the really slow performance and the yellowish tint on auto white balance outdoors. As for the Sony Ericsson K800 and Nokia N73 – they are equally good photo devices, but tuned differently. It’s just a matter of preference – if you like your photos with more "wow" factor and never plan to edit them later, then your safe bet is Nokia N73. Otherwise, if you want your photos as accurate as possible and preserving as much detail for further editing, then you should go with Sony Ericsson K800.
I don’t know about you guys but I never use post processing tools like Adobe’s Photoshop. I’ll use Irfanview for image resizing and cropping, but that’s about it.
What I want to see phone makers strive for is extremely fast application launching. I want to hit the camera button, autofocus, and take a picture in less than 3 seconds.
