Video quality - Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Real Life Review

Your friends are never going to believe what you did. The only way to prove it to them is with that video you took. Rate this thread to express how videos shot on the Samsung Galaxy S20 FE come out. A higher rating indicates that videos are smooth (and not choppy) and that auto-focus works very well, and that the camera adjusts quickly to different lighting conditions while recording.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!

Hei everyone,
interested in S20 FE (4G only available) for videography aspect.
Have anyone used Filmic Pro or Mcpro24fps with FE version? Is the video quality better than native camera app?
Other sensors are available or locked (ultrawide/ tele)?
How about it's stability with filming via 3rd party apps?
Thanks for the comments in advance.

Low light 1080p 60fps & 4K 60fps blows on the 5g SD865 version which is all I can tell you right now. Focus shimmer when walking is horrendous in low light but will most likely be good in daylight. Oh and the 108mp sensor on the Mi 10T Pro kills this at the same video resolutions but there is no telephoto, OLED or Wireless charging.

video quality is sharp for my tastes

I bumped on a nasty bug on Galaxy S20 FE 5G.
I can reproduce it on two devices.
When record video in PRO VIDEO mode in 24fps and video stabilization is turned on I got shaky useless video.
When video stabilization is turned off recorded video looks good.
I would be very thankful if anyone can try to reproduce the bug and report it here.

This is the shaky/jumping effect

I have found a thing that is interesting. Did anyone notice that 4k 60fps reduces some sharpness than the 4k 30fps video? Is this normal?

How's the camera of dopod838/HTC TyTN

I am currently an owner of o2 atom , those who've used it will know whY i am so skeptic , the camera of o2 atom is the WORST i've seen in my entire life , hell my o2 IIs was million times better with it's 1.3 mega pixel camera
Users of dopod838/HTC TyTN can you pls temll me , how's the picture quality , and how's the VIDEO quality , can we take a normal video with normal frame rate ? or will it lag like I am using a pathetic webcam
For a phone/pda/taoster device it has a decent camera. Here are a few pics I took in chicago while moving...in a truck, and I think they came out pretty good.

thanx nick , very decent picture, could you also tell me how's the video quality , is the video good , or does it skips ?
photo and video quality are good in outdoor / good lighting conditions (photos are not as good as but close to k750 quality, video is better) but at night and in dark places they are terrible.
Because the TyTN has onboard MPEG-4 hardware compression, the video comes out very smooth without any skipped frames. However, the compresion makes the video look kind of weird sometimes. Basically it looks as if you are looking up at the video from the bottom of a pool or something, with the image swimming around and looking very liquid. It's worse if you rotate the camera a bit while panning left-right.
@darky , at night I ain't expecting anything both in the photo mode and the video mode .
@rassah , will it be asking you too much to upload a small video if feasible , cause I cannot visualize the 'liquid' effect of yours ,though I am happy of to know atleast i doesn't skip
and o yes thanx u again

Hello

(brightness, contrast, sharpness etc etc)
thanks

set contrast and sharpness to 1
as for video the coolcamera software ver 1.15b (third party) can record in avi which greatly improves the quality.

Two Cameras are Better than One: How the Dual-Camera Setup on the Honor 8 Works

How the Dual-Camera Setup on the Honor 8 Really Works​Dual lens cameras seem to be the way of the future. We are seeing many smartphone companies make the switch to the two-lens setup. In this thread, I'll go over exactly how the cameras in the Honor 8 really work and why it's better than a traditional single-lens camera.
What do the Sensors do?

RGB Sensor
The RGB sensor is designed to capture rich true-to-life colors.
Monochrome Sensor
The Monochrome sensor is dedicated to giving your photos increased sharpness and capturing more light.
Having dedicated lenses for different sensors allows for much higher quality photos. Here are some photos taken with the Honor 8, to show off the color and detail quality of this camera.
Hybrid Auto-Focus​When reading about the hybrid focus, the Honor website states
The hybrid auto-focus enables laser focus for short range, precise depth focus for long range, and contrast focus — each working together to help you take better pictures in complex lighting conditions day and night.

I found this being a nice benefit in "complex lighting" situations. In photos with very dark and light spots, typically a camera will have to accommodate one or the other, leaving one part of the photo lacking detail. Here are some photos of situations with bright lights and dark shadows. Notice how everything is even and very detailed.
Dual ISP​The image signal processor is in charge of the autofocus, exposure and white balance. The built-in dual ISP improves the speed of the focus and process time when you're taking photos. This makes snapping high quality photos quick and easy, by removing time spent focusing your shot.
In conclusion, two lenses are definitely better than one and the Honor 8 does this very well.

Video Recording Bad Quality

I shot some video in standard HD and i'm surprised how bad the quality is due to compression artefacts. My S6 shoots way better video than S8.
This can't be possible.
Am I missing something? I can't find any settings for compression.
And there's no way such bad quality is the case when I've seen videos from other ppl and in reviews as well as Samsung's own advertisements/ showcase of camera & video shooting.
Help/ suggestions appreciated, thanks!
Wait so you are shooting in 720p and expecting good quality?

It's shot in FHD 1080p.
And I've had way better quality on my S6. Something can't be right.
Usually the video on these smartphones, at least since S6 is almost on par with DSLR video.
But now the videos I shot on my S8 are below acceptable. Extremely fuzzy and large compression artefacts that I have never seen before on a smartphone. Not even when I was still on my iPhone 4.
You can see other examples of videos on YouTube that people shot with S8 and on review videos, which is what I was expecting. But not extremely poor video quality.
And there's no settings at all for compression stuff. Any other ideas?
Here is also a screengrab of a part in the video.
It's a test video done in the kitchen. There was enough light, even bright lights on except in that part where it was a little darker but it should never be this harshly compressed even in somewhat darker or low light conditions.
I mean look at the image. You can barely notice any straight lines and the fridge corner, it's so extremely fuzzy breaking up any straight lines.

My videos looks the same in dark. Terrible & unacceptable :\
It would be better if there is dark in the darkness instead of this software-tuned ****.
@MXS801 that's exactly why I started this thread a few days ago: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8/how-to/bounty-camera-mod-bitrates-jpg-quality-t3613441
any help would be appreciated ..or at least spread the link in so many threads as you can so all can see it..
Try this maybe
I have same problem too on low light, try to :
- Set to FHD or higher
- Dont use 60fps
- Disable stabilization
I tried that and seem fixed it
I'm having the same issue... But wondering why this isn't a widely reported issue?
Samsung paid for youtube reviews. Those videos were probably shot with thousand dollar dslr cameras. Wonder what the u 11 camera actually looks like. Hm. ?

Wow I changed from FHD 60fps to normal FHD and what a huge difference, but it should be the opposite really...

Photo quality

Say "cheese", then rate this thread to express how photos taken with the OnePlus 7 come out. A higher rating indicates that photos offer rich color (without over-saturating), sharp detail (with all subjects in-focus), and appropriate exposure (with even lighting).
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
cheese
came from a poco f1 and I'm impressed by OP7 color accuracy and photo fidelity, nice one ...

it's a good upgrade due to OIS and build quality and I got the 256MB/8GB version for €428 but I think now I'd rather pick a 7 pro or 7t, theres still more cam detail. indeed the poco f1 can do great photos too but it's a safe bet to take excellent shots with an OP7.

My Device is now running on android 10
The stock oneplus camera app is super choppy in the 240fps slow Mo mode and there is terrible frame skipping.
What should i do to fix this.
It's utterly unusable now.
Been on many phones, ever since my Pixel 2XL no phone just blew me away, honestly with OP7 you don't even need a GCam I love how a the pictures from its stock Cam app are

4K Ultra Night Video - AI Noise Reduction

Since the OPPO Find X5 Pro comes with the dedicated MariSilicon X Image NPU, it has the ability to perform intense video processing features in real-time. One of these features is the new AI Noise Reduction. Using dynamic processing, this function is able to reduce noise in dark areas of your footage. When shooting at 4K resolution, noise that is usually caused by dark areas is minimized, while the bright areas retain all of their details and clarity.
Smartphones have a history of struggling with low-light footage. It is possible to clean this up in post using editing software, but it takes time and skill to do that. One of the biggest challenges in editing grainy video is removing grain while preserving the quality of the brighter areas of your footage. This is where AI Noise Reduction becomes a huge time-saver.

AI Noise Reduction is part of a feature called 4K Ultra Night Video. This is a passive feature and does not need to be turned on and off. It is, however, only available when shooting video in 4K. To make sure that you are using 4K Ultra Night Video, set your resolution to 4K and do not adjust the f-stop or use any filters. F-spot adjustments and filters will lower the resolution to 1080 and disable the 4K Ultra Night Video feature.
My experience with the OPPO Find X5 Pro has me convinced that this is a very formidable videography device. You can capture fantastic footage in low light conditions, and quickly prepare those clips for posting on social media, using the built-in editing tools.
The MariSilicon X is able to perform several other enhancements to your photos and videos as well. You can read more about the abilities of this powerful chip here: How MariSilicon X Makes OPPO Find X5 Pro Have an Incredible Camera
[Thank you to OPPO for supporting this thread.]
With the advanced AI noise reduction (AINR) algorithm detecting and reducing noise pixel by pixel, it makes 4K Ultra Night Video mode 4K times better than when it was first introduced in OPPO Reno and OPPO F series. The video makes it look spectacular.
