This comparison is actually a request, although it would have come eventually anyway. The Nokia Lumia 735 and the Amazon Fire Phone are two of the three phones that I am reviewing right now. The Amazon Fire Phone actually came out pretty similar to the Nokia Lumia 830, so it seemed fair to compare it to the Nokia Lumia 735.
I have always been a fan of the Amazon Fire Phone. I think it’s an innovative phone that didn’t get the credit it deserved. I am also more impressed with the mid-range Nokia Lumia 735 than I rightfully should be. It’s super light and it follows a sleek design language.

The iPhone 6 and the Amazon Fire Phone have very similar cameras. Now, before you start sending me emails, let me explain that. They do have different hardware; however, when it comes to smart phone cameras, software is much more important than hardware is.
Both the iOS Camera app and the Fire OS Camera app have very limited options. There are no manual settings. The thing about not allowing users to have manual settings is that the product has to be so good that it doesn’t need manual settings. The iPhone 6 does that. Here, we’ll find out if the Amazon Fire Phone can do as good.

It would appear that it’s Nokia Lumia 830 day. Currently, I am reviewing three phones: the Amazon Fire Phone, the Microsoft Lumia 535, and the HTC Desire 820. Unfortunately, I am being forced to bump up the Nokia Lumia 830 in the comparison rotation because Microsoft wants their phone back.
Both of these phones have pretty great cameras. In fact, the Nokia Lumia 830’s Pureview camera is phenomenal. I have noticed that the Amazon Fire Phone has a little trouble focusing on smaller objects that are further away and there are no manual controls to focus, but we’ll get to all that.

This is not the first time I reviewed the Amazon Fire Phone. I first reviewed it when it first came out. Back then, For the Love of Tech hadn’t quite found its niche in the world. Back then, a camera comparison would have around three samples with little or no low light shots. Now that I have the Amazon Fire Phone again, I thought I would put it through the rotation again.
Now, I never got a good feel for the quality of the Amazon Fire Phone. I did a small comparison with the HTC One M8 but that was it. So, where do I start? It’s a 13 MP rear camera on a flagship device, so should I start with the best cameras? Was it as bad as low end phones? I decided to start with the OnePlus One, which has a camera which is not the best, but also not the worst. The other reason that I did it is because I love doing comparisons with the OnePlus One. I get great feedback from the brilliant OnePlus community and it’s a fantastic phone. This will be my 19th comparison with the OnePlus One.
