Stock camera
Seems the quality of the pics taken by the stock app is not as good as the other.

I've found that in the market they all have their pros and cons and that the differences are variable depending upon the circumstance, but the camera certainly isn't the feature to be bragged about on this phone. I've found that one of the ports of the Nexus 4 camera produces the best results most consistantly on my handset. I've also often wondered if my handset got the short end of the stick with the camera it has since a lot of other people are happy with the quality they get out of their RAZR HD, though I'm coming from a Galaxy S 2 which takes wonderful shots in comparison to some of the phones out now despite it now being an old phone model. Its the one thing I really miss about the S2.
On a tangent, I played around with a Galaxy S 4 today and did a bit of camera testing. Single shot stuff. I didn't find that it was all that much better than the S3 or S2 for taking single snapshots. The anti-shake setting worked but not quite as well as on the previous devices, for example. That was really all I could test though, since they always have great lighting when you're looking at phones. Quality is quality, but I'm not convinced 13 megapixels is better than 8 the way Samsung implemented 8 on the previous devices. To be fair though, I had it at 9.5 megapixels. 13 restricts you to a 4:3 shot.
I'll have to try out Camera MX now

thanks for the heads up, just tested it out and it does seem a little sharper, plus the FX options are pretty cool too

Are there any "hacks" for the stock cam in the build prop or media xml where one might tune a little parameters of e.g. jpg quality?

Note 5
Sent from my SM-G925F using Tapatalk

Im sad to say but it looks like this whole Z5 camera is still a joke! and this comes from a z3c owner... look at these samples http://www.eprice.com.tw/mobile/talk/4523/4953454/1/rv/sony-xperia-z5-compact-review/ the note 5 out shoots the z5 almost in any shot and not to speak bout low light shots which z5 cant handle. so after this i just cancelled my preorder and might get something else or ill wait till next year because i aint buying samsung crap.

I 'm sorry to say that the Note 5 pictures qre way better. Did you look at the full resolution pictures or just the thumbnails? I don't like Samsung but I have to admit, adding OIS to their flagships this year was a smart move. Sony blew it again. That is unless they tweak the camera before the release.

I think all haters to see eye doctor and test their eye sight. Z5 photos are far better than taken with Z3 and are equally great compared to S6 or Note 5. If you think otherwise you should get an iPhone 6s

ummm the Z5 is the best camera on the market:

They didnt test yet iphone 6s and note 5. Anyway for video recording, i think sony will be hard to beat. As for photos quality just hope it will be acceptable since i dont like protrude camera design.

iP6s camera is just bigger clone of iP6 camera with no significant improvements except 4k video. iP6 should be in top 5 but not #1
definitely not to beat Huawei's Nexus too for much better 12mpix snapper

Play store and sony keyboard got a new update.

Sounds good

Camera image quality?

So ive seen a recent video on youtube by TechlineHD about his comparison with the best chinese smartphone cameras and it turns out OP2 reigns at top. How do you think OP2 will fair with the likes of the latest flagships such as the note 5, G4(V10), Iphone 6s, Moto X pure, Droid turbo 2 etc?
Anyone can give their opinions, especially about the details, contrast, dynamic range etc?
Planning to get a replacement for my un-unlockable bootloader G4.

Oneplus camera images are always more into a "raw" yet "potential" side.
The post processing is never that much that it will leave the picture too "dull" for some people at the beginning,
but if you know how to tweak it later, it leave so much room for you to play

How would you say the overall potentialities of the OP2 as compared the LG G4 or Galaxy S6? I kinda have the G4, S6, and Op2 at the moment and I'm thinking of selling 2 of the devices lol.

From what I've seen on videos the s6 has a better camera but for the price it's a really good buy

G4 has a decent cam, but the screen color is deceiving. The photo will suddenly looks dull on other phone display, since G4 screen saturation is crazy high
all phones you have can produce an amazing picture, it depends how you use it and set it up

Camera comparison

Please post your comparisons here. I was just at my local store and they got the S7 Edge. I compared it with my S6 Edge and was rather disappointed! The Samsung guy in the store said it was something wrong with the unit I tested, but I'm not convinced. Will post larger pictures when I get home.

Here's another:
S6 Edge:
S7 Edge:

This is natural. S6 edge has a 16 Mpix sensor, while S7/S7 Edge have 12Mpix sensor.
In good lighting, at 1:1 maximum zoom level, the 16Mpix sensor on s6 will give you more detail.
However, as light goes down, so does real useful resolution.
At less than optimal lighting, the situation will reverse and S7 will edge out S6 in resolution, dynamic range, noise and colour fidelity.
At which point in global illumination (lux) and which point in camera sensitivity (ISO) this happens, remains to be seen.
My guess is that at ISO 1250 and beyond S7 will prove to be superior (with no flash in use, of course).

Here's another one.
Samsung Norway claims it will be fixed before launch. Let's hope it's true! On this one you can see the S7 Edge did something funky with the colors as well (yellow sticker).

You know I feel that comparing photos while can show a flaw in one camera over the other it is not a good way to evaluate if a newer camera is not as good as the older version. I'm sure the camera for the S7 will just as good as the S6. Samsung proved last year with the S6 how serious they were about cell phone cameras. I just think the S7 edge offers a lot of other great changes over last year's S6.

I agree, the phone itself will be far better in many ways, that's no doubt.
I got an S7 I can do some testing with, how to you suggest I should test them to see a good comparison?

Even if we set aside the fact it's faster, I've no doubt that the camera in the S7 will be superior to the S6 in the vast majority of circumstances. And that is the bottom line for me.

I think we should wait until they are released with a consumer firmware installed. The S6 camera have also been improved a little since release.

Galaxy S5 Camera Quality Deteriorating

Hey all!
So my sister has had get S5 for a while now, she likes the phone immensely. However she's pointed out an issue which I haven't come accross before. Over the last year and a bit, her camera quality has gotten awful. When she first got the phone, it was taking good quality, in focus pictures. Now, although they aren't blurry, they're somewhat not focused and grainy - as if she was taking a photo with the S1 for example.
See below photos for reference. If it's the lens that's dirty - I'll simply replace it. Not sure if it's firmware or not. I also found it incredibly difficult to focus whilst takin the first photo.
Thanks!
