Back before the year 2000 when all digital cameras were only 1.2 or 2 MP, each megapixel was very important, if you wanted to make bigger prints. Today, even smartphones are capable of snapping pictures at 5 or 8 MP, which is more than enough for any size of print. Unless you want to print an image for a HUGE billboard, you don’t generally need more than 5 MP. So, in this day and age where nearly every mid-high end phone is 5 MP or above, the question that should come into your mind is, which camera has better optics, not which camera has more Megapixels.
In this article, I’ve posted a lot of pictures taken with the Galaxy SII and the Galaxy Nexus to give you a general idea of how they both stand up to each other, this article will possibly educate a few people and stop Forum posts titled like: “The Nexus is rubish…bla bla bla…it’s only 5 Megapixels bla bla bla”.
Bare in mind that this isn’t a review of the Samsung Galaxy Nexus, the review will be out sometime next week, any way read on and check out the all pictures, if you’re interested that is.
