Test compares BlackBerry Z10 camera with other high-end shooters in low-light conditions

The best result was from the Nokia Lumia 920 (R), while the BlackBerry Z10 (L) had the worst

A test was performed on Wednesday to see just how well the BlackBerry Z10 camera would snap pictures under low-light conditions. The other phones in the test were some of the best shooters on other platforms such as the Apple iPhone 5, the Nokia Lumia 920 and the Samsung Galaxy S III. The subject was an Assassin's Creed statue which was photographed in dim light without the use of flash although low-light settings were used where available.

The results? As you can see for yourself, the Nokia Lumia 920 was the hands-down winner followed by the Samsung Galaxy S III, the Apple iPhone 5 and the BlackBerry Z10. The picture that came from the Z10 is so dark, there is no hope of figuring out what the subject is. Keep in mind that this is just one test though, and besides, you probably would use the flash in such a situation.
