Below are links to the full res images.
The last two photos are taken in low light conditions.
I don't know about you, but I'm not very convinced with the quality. The low light looks good, but if you really wanna get up close with the images, click the links below and zoom in to the full size to see for yourself.
For comparison images, here's photos taken by the iPhone 4S, click the links and zoom in to the full size to judge for yourself. I figured I'd take samples off a random user instead of the Apple website photos in case some are paranoid that Apple's images have been retouched.
The last image demonstrates the iPhone 4S indoor quality.
Wonder how Samsung will fair with the Galaxy SIII.

Nice post, but since when has the iPhone 4s been the top cameraphone? Since I can remember, its always been a Nokia device. Sony Ericsson was a threat in the early 2000s, but that is it.
The current imaging king is the Nokia N8. Soon it will be the 808 PureView. Apple is just reaching Nokia's 2007 qualities.
I suggest you research Nokia models N90, N93, N95, N82, N86, and the N8.
This is Nokia's game...
Hey thanks for the feedback. I am aware of the Nokia N8's capabilities and used to be a fan of the N90 myself.
Seems I have overlooked it and made the changes claiming iPhone 4S as the best in class camera in my first paragraph.
Nokia indeed has some of the best camera phones out there, and apart from their sensors I think they owe it to Carl Zeiss which makes awesome optics.
The PureView 808 is definitely an incredible camera, to the extend where I wonder why Nokia doesn't try and pursue the Camera market as well because honestly, THEY CAN.
I'm not a fan of symbian though, I understand that Nokia worked on PureView years ago before the whole WinMo collaboration and hence PureView's algorithms were written into Symbian and have not been fully baked into WinMo, hence the release under Belle.
I'm interested to see how Nokia takes it from there once that technology gets written for WinMo. For now though, despite Nokia's great cameras, I'll avoid Symbian for now and wait to see how the Android market fairs with its range of camera phones. If I want to take great photos, I'll still whip out the good ol DSLR =)
