maybe you just dont know how to actually use a camera besides for pointing and clicking? if you just point and click, itll just take an average focus photo, and its not that great. if you press on the point you want it focused on(point and click), itll come out much better, focus and lighting.
Come on guys/gals. Watch the language.
This is just your opinion. I've had much worse cameras on phones such as the moto x. Is it the best camera on a phone? No, but it clearly isn't the worst camera ever. This is what every reviewer said. I kinda doubt you even have a nexus 6 if you are saying it is that bad.

Love the N6 camera. Better than the GS4 which still to this day is a superb phone camera

Sounds like user error - there's nothing wrong with the camara...
This thread is useless. Not sure why the mods have let it exist as long as it has existed...
So we can discuss how the first post is wrong so as to not allow others the same lapse in judgment
You can criticize the camera if you'd like, there likely are other cameras that are better and/or worse either overall or in specific situations. The M8 tuning the camera to a lower resolution but better low light performance is an example. There are better cameras sure, but it does take some pretty good shots if low light shooting is your primary concern.
My point is, please debate the camera, debate breeds ideas and opinions which (hopefully) influence what manufacturers put in our devices. But try and be constructive, and where possible specific and/or somewhat scientific in your assessment. If you are, there's a chance we can all help each other find solutions or if need be, recommend a better phone based on your needs.
Now, who's going to hack 60 & 120fps video for us

It's not publically available for Nexus 5 yet though, so this thread feels premature. Cheers for the heads up, anyway.

That app is free on iOS. Bummer, but understandable as to why they made it a paid app.
Still waiting on Focal myself
Haven't gotten an answer on this in the other places I've asked. There are two different UIs shown in the pics for the app, one looks like iOS and the other looks like it may be a tablet UI. Can anyone confirm if the latter is a tablet UI. If it becomes the phone UI too it looks pretty nice.

I tried the "A Better Camera" app and I really liked it, only problem was the display was super dark which renders it unuseable - I think its not yet been made compatible with the Nexus 5 - anyone else having the same problem?

Yeah, I emailed them about it and that asked that I send them some pictures which I did. Hopefully they fix it.
is the Camera Awesome app really the best out there? The features look good but the reviews are terrible and not very many downloads...
anyone have real experience with it before I commit $3?
The interface on this app looks so cluttered. I wish someone would just blatantly copy the iOS 7 camera app instead of trying to make an app that has literally every feature but 30 on screen buttons. Just simplicity with necessary functionality. It shouldn't really be that hard.

70% negative feedback and you call it best camera app? Hahaha
I can't wait for someone to fix the camera app on N5. The lag is crazy.
I'd like to start this thread as a dedicated place for your camera samples rather than the Z2 vs G3 thread.
The only reason I'm thinking about moving from the M8 to the G3 is for the camera. So let's see em guys! Low light, landscape, HDR, macro.. Post em here.
Go!
I was thinking about doing this too, since most of the world has the G3 now. Hopefully we get some good shots in here. Coming from a GS4, I'll be happy if picture quality is atleast equivalent.

To be fair, I don't think he is trolling. I'm not hugely impressed judging by that gallery and I'm the one who started this thread. I also have a G3 being delivered to me this week so I'm no troll either.
I think my M8 is great, but I wish the camera had more detail hence my interest in the G3. There is no way i'm going to spend my money with Samsung so this is another option.
this sample taken from the gallery posted shows that oil painting effect and not really good detail. I can't see it being a big enough step up from the M8 so far. I'd like to see others people shots though.

Quick macro shot not the best light, results are very good.
Note that that's an HDR shot, so it did some photo merging. I would expect some weirdness and loss of detail for those.

HI guys, I'm currently using an s4 and my mom has a nexus 4 however she is not liking it and I'm thinking of switching our phones, i know the s4 has a better camera but how good is the one on the nexus 4? also how would you guys say the battery life is? thanks in advance
if you know how to use a camera, its a wonderful camera. if you just expect to point and click, and get wonderful photos, its so so. battery life is very good, i see 4.5-5.5h screen on time.

I agree, the camera isnt bad at all. It is a matter of how you look at it. Just dont compare a smartphone camera to a dslr.
The nexus 4 is a great device and it never fail on me once. Of course it depends on the user and how you tweak your phone. I can tell you there are tons of modifications that you can do. It isnt a bad deal at all.
To keep it short: why dont you grab your mothers nexus 4 and try it out for couple days. All answers will be very subjective and in the end it is your decision. What matters is, how you feel!
BTW, I have a s4 and a nexus 5 as well. I HATE using the s4 camera, as Samsung's software does nothing but piss me off(lol), so i stopped using it. both n4 and n5 cams I really like.
thanks guys, I'm running CM11 on my s4 becuz touchwiz pissed me the heck off lol I'm a photographer so it helps to have a decent camera when i don't have my dslr with me i LOVE the sparkly back on it it looks so sweet not to mention my s4 isn't the prettiest phone out there lol
Love the N4, hate the camera

The ONLY thing I've ever been disappointed in with my N4 is the camera. I also have the S4 (running CM11) and there's no comparison, the S4's 13 Megapixel camera blows away the N4's 8 megapixel. However, as long as there is PLENTY of light the N4 does take nice shots regardless of which camera app your using.
Battery life is almost a whole day running CM11 M8 build (4.4.4.)
Personally, I'm waiting for the G3..
thanks, ill just have to play around with the camera, guess you'll be seeing me on this forum quite a bit from now on
If you're looking for a good camera the last phone you want to get is the Nexus 4. Even the S2 camera is better...
You can do some adjustments to make the quality better (Exposure, Autofocus mode) but that will take you about 10 seconds which may be a lot if you need to take a quick shot

True. The GS4 has an amazing camera. I tried my mom's old gs4 and it's much better. I recently has a G2 for a while and used the camera quite a bit. The screen broke and I'm back to nexus. I feel like the camera is off a old Nokia phone compared to gs4 and g2. Before I had the g2, i thought the camera was actually pretty good.

This phone would have eradicated the S6, this phone looks stunning. Can't say the same about the final design as that black bar is annoying.
Also a RGB notification light would be nice.

Better utilization of the camera, the HTC m8 has a great camera, so does the m9 I'm sure. But it doesn't even compare when it comes to my old Nokia Lumia 920. Possibly partner up with Camera makers like Nokia did.

But the renders were not from HTC, they were all fan-based. Why get your hopes up for something that had no official links?
This is my issue with people's reaction to the M9. Although I'm disappointed with the design I'm also not surprised. HTC need to recoup some money and saving money on design means they can continue to move forward. It's good business sense. Design is already great, so address the issues with the M8 and bump the internal spec
I kinda like the front facing speakers of the one. I've never used an htc but it still looks nice for a change as all the prev phones iv used had a speaker on the back. Anyway, I think what htc needs is a notification led something like the OGP. That would be sexy.

To be honest, I'm not even mad at HTC for black HTC bar either. It's not a big deal really.
Seriously guys, if you want BOOMSOUND, and I'm sure you do, you need to be okay with some sacrifices. Those things take some serious space on top and bottom.
And it doesn't even look that bad in my opinion. If they move it that's okay. If they leave it, that's okay. Same with the uncentered top speaker grill. It doesn't bother me. That being said, i wouldn't upgrade to the m9 from the m8, unless my m8 was broken. Which it is. I think the m9 is mainly targeted for m7 or onex/evo4glte users that never upgraded to the One series because if the 4up idea (which wasn't even as bad as it was made out to be). Which means... They should have had the camera software ready. If they do fix it, then great. but they are already losing customers because of the stuff going around about the"disappointing camera" gahh.
I'd say the best design change would be make the next either thinner, or don't have the camera protruding. That's about it. The phone is beautiful. They should make the HTC logo on the back stand out more. The two tone colors are nice, they should make the HTC lettering on the rear of the phone golden, too.

I don't know if Leica makes mobile sensors... they might just have done the optics and image processing. At this point nobody seems to know.
Whatever they did, the camera is pretty horrible. I like the phone, but I'll be the first to admit the camera is the worst I've seen in any phone I've owned in the past three or four years. No sharpness, no detail.

Might have to do with the lighting in my house too. I don't take many pictures so I really don't care all that much.

Whatever they did, the camera is pretty horrible. I like the phone, but I'll be the first to admit the camera is the worst I've seen in any phone I've owned in the past three or four years. No sharpness, no detail.

Either you have faulty unit in your hands or then your batcave needs to have couple light bulbs replaced?
Personally I rate Mate 9 camera second in my list.
I've had S7 Edge and iPhone 7Plus and Mate 9 goes middle of those.

For information - most commonly when "famous" camera and optics brands borrow their names to phone and point-and-shoot makes, its just that - branding. They don't make the sensor and they don't make the lenses. They might have had a slight hand in the design process, i.e. the engineering side of it like drawing up the optical formula. It's not a quality stamp like an actual German made item.
Of course, that does not mean the camera is bad and the unit(s) in the Mate 9s seems pretty decent for this kind of device and definitely competitive. As a image maker by trade however, its obvious to me that it cannot compare to anything with a larger sensor quality wise. It's still a useful tool with creative potential.

Just curious, is it actually visible in photos? Either way, I'd still exchange.
I've tried looking, but haven't found out what IMX model sensors the phone is using. Do you happen to know, since you claim they are Sony?
