Motorola's Moto G50 aims to solidify the maker's midrange 5G portfolio and it will be put to the test since we managed to receive a unit for review here at HQ.

TEST: Is the Nokia 808 PureView's camera any good in 2021?

Introduction We recently took a short nostalgia trip with the Nokia 808 PureView after we stumbled upon a still fully functional unit almost by accident (not really, we specifically went out looking for one). We covered it in a video, going over some of the firsts and bests it did in 2012 - here it is, if you missed it. Having the phone in our hands, and well aware of the reputation it has in the comments section of most photography-centric smartphone reviews here, we figured a brief shootout was in order - think of it as 'The 808 PureView versus The Year 2021 Cameraphones'. Since we...
