In low light the K800i shines, but you'll have to mod your camdriver and have steady hands. I made osme pretty decent night shots with my K800i, and so did others. Overall the C902 might be the best choice for you, but if you need low light images and decent xenon flashm the K800i is your pick. Just mind you the camera cover will slide open when you don't want it resulting in battery drain. You might want to have a look at the K810i or even K850i.

c902 beats k800 in everything except Xenon flash (of course)......such as: build quality, camera, video, music, screen, features, etc...........

never have a phone who looks like this after 11½ months daily using (not one creaky sound from casing or scratches)

Thanks dude =)
I am more interested in lowlight conditions without flash, and indor conditions with big ISO speed, and of cause the outdoor, as I need a good replacement for sony s40. I didn't like the the k850's cam. It's too bulky and too much fring.

There is another question, as I said above, deal are the camphones deal with music ? And who has a louder and better speaker??

I have to disagree with plankatan here, the C902 low light pictures are crap compared to the shops you can take with the K800i, with and without using the flash the K800i will beat the C902 hands down. But I know for plankatan, the C902 is the best camera in any condition, no need to argue there. There have been enough debates about that.

Picture taken in the middle of the night with K800i and modified cam driver that allows longer exposure times (1 second used here).

Full size: http://www.esato.com/phonephotos/viewfullsize.php?id=21090

There are much more examples of images, mind you the K800i has 3.2mp and the C902 has 5mp. I owned both phones and when it comes to taking images at low light, macro's and flash the K800i is the better choice. The C902 makes good daylight pics, but not much better than a K800i with a decent cam driver.

My advise is to go to the photo section on the website, and browse images taken by both the C902 and the K800i/K810i. The K800i and K810i have the same camera module if I'm not mistaken.

1. C902 better in outdoors but not much better than K800i and lowlight without using flash according to me they're same.
2. K800i faster than C902
3. When using Headset thy almost give same quality, but for the speaker C902 better.


this's some discussion about pic quality

Juns, I have already seen that topic, the problem is dat c902's firmware R3CA033, as I heard from my friends the quality was then not dat good. So I am wondering about the modern firmware of c902 like R3EE002, is it much better to the last year's one according to the camera?

And how are the music capabilities and their quality? Where is the better sound and a louder speaker?

The C902 beats the K800 on software because the C902 has se latest platform (a200) which comes with the updated menu and media center to view all pics and vids etc in one place. The c902 doesn't have a joystick which is better as the K800 joysticks have a tendency to break. If taking outdoor in daylight shots is your thing the C902 does well on outdoors and beats the K800, the colours can be dull on the C902 though, but that can be sorted. If you like night shots the K800 s obviously better with the exeon flash, the c902 flash is quite poor and will not light rooms very well, and is not really a flash more a white light. If you like to view photos on your phone i would choose the k800 because shots look terrible on the C902 screen, this is because the software on the C902 cant really handle 5mp shots so when you view a shot they are blurry for 5-6seconds which is far too long, while the k800 takes 3mp shots which un-blurr in 2seconds tops.

C902 have better build quality? this sounds like BS and negation of very good quality of K800 only because of fact that C902 is smaller. I even don't remember how many times my K800 received hard lessons. because of my passion to MTB this phone often falls down on the rubble, rocks, asphalt at the high speed. twice I crushed him with the back during the fall. nothing wrong happened, except of a few scratches on the back panel and camera flap

K and C phones were not designed to musical raptures. I guess both have quite similar capabilities and you don't have to worry about loudness because you can change sound drivers to boost effect
