Why camera between phones differ so much?

[Anonymous]

I had a couple of samsungs at this point, huaweis, iphones. They differ between each other and between brands.

They don't.

Nokia and Sony tend to hold most of the patents that others borrow from in hardware. Hence why most phone cameras are basically the same thing inside.

But it's in software that each differs massively. Mainly as there are hundreds of ways the data can be processed to create the image. Each manufacturer has a different idea on how best to recreate the image for their screen.

Yeah but why do I look like a different person each time

Different hardware, Lenses, and often the Photo is combined from pictures of different lenses. As well as software enabling digital zoom and automatic adjustments to colour, saturation...

And each phone has a different screen, so for a fair comparission you would have to tranfer them to the same PC and look at them at the same monitor.

Different hardware

But is it normal to look like a completely different person each freaking phone
