Ah, the old/new Nokia 3310.
It's simple, virtually indestructible, and comes with Snake — but what we really wanna know is, how does its camera hold up?
Singapore photographer Xavier Lur took the iconic handset out for a try, and the results are pretty stunning
Admittedly, the photos look heavily filtered, but are still quite a sight to behold — that is, if you don't look too closely.
Lur tells us he used Adobe Lightroom to edit the photos, then applied a VSCO filter on them for added effect.
"Based on today's standards, the camera isn't fantastic at all. Photos look pixelated, night photos will have a blue tint if you use the default auto white balance setting, and you have to hold the phone steady for around 2 seconds every time it takes a photo," he told Mashable.
And indeed, a quick zoom in on the pictures reveal that they are extremely pixelated by today's standards, although the quality of the two megapixel camera might not exactly come as a surprise.
Lur thinks that the pictures, while not comparable to that of a modern smartphone, are still of a "decent" quality.
"The purpose of my tweet isn't to show that the camera is great. It's [to show] that you don't exactly need a high-end camera to take a decent photo."
Well said. |
