Google XL, the best camera ever ? Not so sure - Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion

Hey guys
I was so happy when DxOMark announced that the brand new Google Pixel and Pixel XL are currently the best camera phone.
But I've just read that there is no manual control even ISO control I'm so disappointed , this feature must be a selection criterion.
I'm going to stick with my LG G4
What do you think about that ? Share your opinion.

I think positive value on Pixel Camera and Device is Speed and Almost Zero Lags

Nice clickbate thread dude.

Hell yeah! I love the red pictures in dark settings effect.
Also, even if it were still a 4MP camera, it could very will be a completely redesigned, or at least tweaked, sensor that would perform better than the current one.
Seems like you have been saying that for over a year now, done with HTC
I'm pretty excited and I'm okay with the camera.

Same boat here. I ditched HTC after the 3D and the One was their final chance for me. This camera sucks beyond comparison. Makes the phone only a fraction of what it should be (yes I've had my device replaced). Only nexus devices for me from here on out. I'll pass on HTC's crappy radios and cameras.

Camera is trash compared to the industry standard. Period!

Every single person at HTC should be fired, these shakeups they've had obviously are not working. Other than the camera I love the HTC One, but using the Nexus 5 for the past week or so I haven't missed a thing about it. I will probably end up selling it and not be coming back to HTC unless they can get there act together.

Everyone is so friendly with each other .... so I thought I'd chime in with my own opinion. Name one device that any of you have used that the camera actually measured up to what they say it will....anyone? I especially love how the N5 fanboys in other posts had the balls to say the N5 had a better camera when it is exactly the same as the last one, and yes, I owned an N4. Don't get me wrong, I'm totally with everybody that these companies should stop crowing about how great their camera is when it ain't, but GET REAL. As I have said before somewhere around here, when it comes to new devices, COST IS A FACTOR. Soooooo, would you rather have the same camera or the same processor? Same cam or the same screen clarity? They know they have to cut costs somewhere, this is where it happens. GET USED TO IT. It ain't no greener in the other dude's yard. If the camera is that important, buy a Nokia. The camera is the only thing about that device that's worth a s***. My two cents, flame away....:angel:

The camera in my HTC Evo 4G LTE was amazing. I used it at work all the time, and my co-workers refused to believe that the pictures I emailed from job sites were taken with a phone. It made my brother-in-law complain about the pictures he got from this GS3, which looked crappy by comparison. That phone was largely the reason I "upgraded" to the One. There have been a few incidences where the low-light capabilities came in handy, but overall I've been fairly disappointed by the "ultra-pixel" results.

Yeah, I hear you. My ONE takes great pics in near-perfect conditions, crappy ones in bad. But, my experiences with the N4, LGOG, and the ONE, not to mention my wifes GS III or any of the iPhones shes had (4, 4s, and 5) were really no better. I have just been resigned that the cam is one place that smartphones will lag until costs come down. Or until I can afford a 1000 dollar device. Have you guys seen the Lenovo?

...and I'll bet the cam aint that great on that badboy either lol
To keep the same camera says that there would have to be more people that like the camera than not. Most people come to forums to complain but that's a small percent of the overall user base. I still have my evo4glte and the ones camera outperforms it. If they left the camera the exact same and said it was 8 or 12mp people would all of a sudden say it was better just because of the number.

At the very least it's worth waiting to see what will be available....unlike the PS4 vs Xbox One, which was crystal clear early on who the front runner was.
There are also rumors that it may have an octo core processor. Maybe outlandish but we shall see. Maybe they include a 20mp or 41mp camera like the lumia.

Truth. I can only assume people have been smoking some pretty potent weed lately because they complain about the cam sucking yet it's one of the better cams on Android devices. Whenever my brother needs a pic he uses my One instead of his EVO LTE. Go buy a Nokia or iPhone, maybe G4, but don't go whining about a Nexus being the solution because it isn't. ll this crying over an article that only had an early spec leak for a prototype, and it doesn't give any info besides MP? lol c'mon guys, get real.
They really do need to innovate in the camera department. The same bull camera will be a fail.
If ScamSung ever overhauls touchwiz & give it a premium design... It's all over

Sorry but no way they release a device next spring time and use the S800 then with same specs elsewhere as the One.... Nokia has the camera dept won in my opinion just sucks they are doing windows...
Need to use the S805 SoC and crank up the camera dept at HTC on this next device....
To those that are leaving..... That's nice, everyone will surely shed some tears for yall ......

I'm buying a one M8 from T-Mobile soon

In a couple of weeks I'm gonna use Jump to upgrade to the One M8 and I want some users who have the specific one from T-Mobile to tell me how it pretty much is to use .. And if the camera is passable .. My other 2 choices I could go with instead would be the S5 or I might give iPhone a try but I think that would be a foolish choice .. So yeah

Ik its specs I just want someone to tell me how the user experience is and maybe compare to other flag ships .. I did watch reviews but I wonna know what xda dudes think lol
I'm coming from a Galaxy Nexus on Verizon to the T-Mobile M8 so I was accustomed to a 2.5 year old phone. That said, I can say that I've never used a faster phone. I have a Nexus 10 tablet that is about a year old that the phone is faster than. I get twice as long from the battery than I've every gotten from any phone.
From the reviews I've read and from personal experience I think it really boils down to a few things. It's really between the M8 and the S5, unless you like the apple juice. The M8 has Sense 6 which is MUCH cleaner and closer to stock android than Samsung's skin. Touchwiz is hugely bloated and barely resembles Android the way Google intended. However, the reviews have the S5 with slightly better battery and a better camera. So if you take a lot of pictures and don't mind the gimmicky bloat of Samsung then go for the S5. But the M8 will feel better designed in both hardware and software. There are already mods out to improve camera quality and I've tweaked my battery to last a little over 2 days on normal use.
Obviously I'm here so I lean towards the M8 but I'm a huge proponent of the software side of things. I think HTC really nailed it with Sense 6.

I didn't provide the link for specs, at the bottom you have plenty of forums to go and have discussions with other Tmobile device owners! The links are there! :silly:
As for the comparisons to other flag ships, it's not allowed here, even though I don't agree with that concept at all and can't really see where it's mentioned in the rules post as being against the rules but the moderators always close down posts that discuss comparisons.
So check the link I posted again, I don't know why you just looked at the specs and closed the window instead of just looking a little lower and seeing ALL the threads provided for T-Mobile users... a General section, a Q&A section, a Theme section, Development section etc.
Reason I gave that link is because this is international version section and there might not be a lot of people with T-Mobile that can help you, where as if you head over to T-Mobile section they ALL might be able to help you, as it's their section :good:

Yeah I love having a fast software and I can see it with the M8 it even beat the 5s in a real world performance test by phonebuff .. I do take a lot of pictures but only when I'm on vacation .. The m8 provides decent quality and I would give up s5 good camera for a faster experience without all of its nonsense and gimmicks .. I'm huge nexus fan and I can say I like sense 6 a bit more than it .. So great job HTC can't wait to have you soon. Goodbye LG G2

Yeah I'm sorry m8 I was quick to judge.
I have always been an HTC guy from Sprint with the CDMA Hero, Evo 3D, Evo LTE, One M7 to One Max. Then I switched to T-Mobile and got the M8. I love the M8 even though I am still in love with the Max mostly for the screen size. I think the camera on the M8 is awesome. I have yet to take a pic out of focus. And the sound on this is very impressive, almost as loud as the gigantic speakers on the Max. I am not a fan of the Touch Whiz UI, so needless to say I'm not a fan of Samsung. I recommend the M8 whole heartily!

I just picked mine up today. So far im loving it! I'm coming from the Nexus 4. The screen is gorgeous, the sound is great (though not quite as loud as I expected), and the camera is awesome so far. Love being able to select focus after the shot is taken. Battery life seems pretty darn good so far too.
I'll miss vanilla android, but I'll get used to sense again. As far as manufacturer skins go, it's great. Let's see how long I can last from rooting though. I hate bloat. You can't even uninstall Twitter! Wtf?

Is the OnePlus One Still Worth It Post OnePlus 2?

Hey..I've been getting some questions concerning whether people should buy the OnePlus One still, now that the OnePlus 2 is out. My answer is 100% yes, but I made a quick video to explain why.
I would love to hear you guys' thoughts as I'm sure most would agree as well. I still think the OnePlus One is an amazing device.

i will definitely keep my opo for now rather than buy the op2
I am using op1 and just got a op2 for one of my friends .... And i still think op1 rocks .... Specially if they do a price cut...op2 is good and very good vfm device but OP1 will remain the actual flagship killer ....i believe the main problem which limits the potential of OP2 is the 810soc which eventhough is the top of line chipset. .. I don't think its actually the best
There's no need for two threads with same comparison. Please stick to this one,

Is it true the LG one would have 2 gigs of RAM? I sorta expected 3. . . Even though LG's my first preference, the 3GBs of RAM on the Huawei variant kinda makes me wanna buy that one. (Of Course it's all rumors and speculation still) I intend to use loads of Xposed modules and recently xposed seems to be ram hungry.
But I hope the Huawei one also gets great developer support for custom roms and everything..
Cause I dunno, there's just something in the back of my mind that still isn't a hundred percent on-board with the idea of purchasing a Huawei.

I currently own an S4 and wanting to move on to next Nexus, I just have a query. S4's camera quality on CM roms is really pathetic as compared to stock TouchWiz, does same go for Nexus devices? Do they also have poor camera quality on custom roms when compared to factory images?

Camera quality is not changed in custom ROMs on any Nexus device and all Sammy phones have better camera quality on TW ROMs that's a fact.

OEMs like Samsung, LG etc have proprietary drivers that custom ROMs don't have access to so the cameras are far less in my opinion but Nexus devices being Google, we have them, so you won't see any difference.
Can't wait to have a Nexus again and use your awesome ROM and all the others (sorry ☺).. Do you guys think it will have front facing speakers? Loved them on the N6.. It was just to big..

I'm very pumped about the 5X as it will be mine. Interested in the 6p as it may become mine. October always has me in a tissy because of the venerable Google phones!
"Upgraded" from the original Nexus 5 to the Galaxy S6. Though the hardware may be better, I still miss my Nexus 5. Android just felt much better when it didn't have anything over it. My body and wallet are ready for the Nexus 5X!

Disappointing S20 Ultra

After nearly 2 months with the S20 Ultra 5G, i'm giving up on it. Coming from a Mate 20 Pro to the Samsung, i thought would be a great upgrade. Reading the specs etc, made for being a pretty good powerhouse for Photography.
After going through about 4 updates since receiving the phone, the Camera is simply not good enough. It's fantastic for outdoor shots, however, Focus hunting, and the lack of clarity when photographing text makes the S20 photos blurry, and frankly, looks crap. Even with video, focus hunting is ridiculous. Hugely disappointed considering the Mate 20 Pro produced better photos by comparison.
Add to this, the physical size of the phone. Something i thought i could live with, but its massive! The camera bump alone makes me way over cautions putting the phone down after reading reports of the camera glass cracking (even though i've added a protector). I shouldn't have to feel fear using a bloody phone, so its going the journey.
The point of this post is???
He had a thought, it must be shared. So ridiculous

Despite Samsungs updates, Camera is still not good enough. Especially for the price paid. Voicing my concerns same as everybody else.
Dont be ridicolous bro, your expecting way too much from a phone, if you like photography so much just a buy a decent camera...also the mate 20 takes better photos than the s20 ultra? I think you dont know what your talking about and very ignorant on this matter, kinda hard to satisfy people who have no idea what they are talking about...
The entire thread is pointless. It is not news, a guide or even a discussion.
If you are not satisfied then sell the phone, we do not need the negativity here.
people!!!
we live in free world - i think he mades very good points and he is right - the s20 ultra is a disappointment from many POV esp at that price
either way - this is a free forum where people can express freely their opinium - be that it's a good or bad towards a certain brand
dont read the post if your not interested esp since he made it really clear in his title
There is already a thread with this discussion. Creating a new thread about the same thing is pointless!
