New SGS2 users, Front facing camera quality? - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777

Just got myself one! Will be here monday, Just wondering how the quality is of the front facing camera! Are you happy with it? I recently did have a Nexus S 4G! Will it be way better or?

It's a 2mp. It's a lot better than the nexus s which was like a .3mp if I remember correctly. I'm very happy with the quality

Check the thread about xda users and their cameras.. or something of that sort. It started out as shots with the ffc ..sorta but there's a few shots to see.
I think for a 2MP camera... that tiny ... on the front of a phone... ... it takes great pictures!
Btw karth, you got a thanks because I chuckled when I read your post

Danke!
10char.

i love this phone and welcome to the SGH-I777 section of this forum the front camera is good.

I have no complaints about it honestly. it is about all you could expect from a camera with such a limited lens space! as far as your other phone, I have no idea, sorry bro

Pretty sure 2mp is still the best front facing camera you buy today quality is great in the right lighting

if you are asking due to face unlock then don't worry about it, it does the job needed! I cannot say the same however for the software behind face unlock itself...

That's true for any tiny sensor.

Guys don't know if this is a stupid question but can't we get the 2mp front facing camera to record 720p? I'm asking because the Galaxy S3 has a 2mp front shooter and the nexus has 1.3mp and they both do 720p video capture.

Camera is extremely clear in the front. I love it and all my friends are jealous because their iShits arent as good

poor camera quality

Is it just this model phone? I'm running viper ROM and using stock kernel. It just seems very grainy, could it be from the ROM?
I read on the HTC sight that it has bad quality when taking regular photos..not for sure tho...check it out yourself

Upload a photo to see. In a dark shot it will look alil grainy on screen pics come out fine tho.
No, it's the phone. The camera stock settings are crap. In fact, the whole design of the camera is not up to standard with the rest of the phones.
They dropped the ball on that part when they made this phone. It is now up to the community to correct the companies error. Hopefully a good camera port will come soon.

I will agree on some of the phones there were camera issues. So far I haven't ran into any yet. The phone does take some excellent shots.
The amaze camera port is great.
The Amaze Camera works completely on our phone? Holy crap.
Yea I second the Amaze camera its really good. Now we just need a kernel base with no shutter lag.

Thank you!
I will test the Amaze Camera!
I also think that the camera pictures arenĀ“t good
mine takes great pics... just saying.
Yep, the Amaze camera is not too shabby. I'd recommend it.

Opinions on your favorite thing about the HTC EVO 4G LTE!

What's your favorite thing about the new EVO? Dedicated camera button? Sense 4.0 with Android 4.0? NFC? Let us know

Possibly NFC...but I have never used it before. I am thinking I am going to like this feature though.

I like that the phone has no shutter lag (supposedly), and will let you take photos while videoing. I also like the screen size, along with the resolution. In the reviews, people always seem to comment on how awesome the screen looks, so I am really looking forward to that. NFC sounds cool too.

Im excited about the camera as well. Looks like good quality (from samples ive seen) and no shutter lag. Just an overall fun camera.apk
I hate AMOLED displays for the viewing angles and hue, so I returned the E4GT and didn't even bother with the GNex. I refuse to upgrade to a phone that has less than a 4.5" screen. (Spoiled). That said, assuming the camera is on par with the E4GT, what I'm looking forward to the most is the camera. My son is very active these days and I have a daughter on the way, so being able to get good pics of them whenever and wherever is a big deal to me, and let's face it, the OG EVO camera has always sucked. Quick shutter speed, high aperture, wide angle, BSI sensor, dedicated imaging processor, stills during video capture, dedicated camera button. Hell, even as a gimmick feature, the slow motion recording sounds fun.
The camera easily, after playing with the One X's camera , I look forward to it.
XDA Since 2007...
I'm in for the faster cpu, larger screen, and more memory. Although I have all animations turned off, the original evo is lacking in the cpu dept.
I chose this over the One X and SGS3 because of the dedicated camera button, kickstand, micro sd card, great screen, and slim profile... coming from the original EVO 4G. But... if i had to pick one.... the camera button. Why doesn't everyone have this?
S4 chip, kickstand, real ics. Those three are making me upgrade from my og EVO

I like 4.3" screen. Will have to see how the LTE compares though with the added .4". Quality of screen sounds amazing though. Gorilla glass 2, slcd2, and hi def resolution ? Killer specs to ignore

Yeah, other than the pre-order drama, I am really excited to use the camera button. I didn't have an EVO 3D and I have been taking more and more photography lately with my EVO 4G. Can't wait to see how the camera button affects this new hobby of mine lol.
Camera was the big one for me. Honorable mention goes to the screen, camera button (wasn't a fan of the round one on the E3D), slimness, and KICKSTAND!!!!
Anyone know if the cam button can be used as a shortcut button to open the camera?

Yes, hit the shutter button and the camera app opens. Not when it's locked though.
The camera button is the big feature? Has no one ever had this before? I know my EVO 3D, does, but it isn't new to that device. The PPC-6800 had it back in 2007 and I think my PPC-6700 did too. The Evo 4G is about the only phone I think I've had recently that didn't have the button. It is like they were trying to mimic Apple too much.
The Nexus s 4g, G2, HTC Hero, Galaxy Nexus, T-bolt all phones I had. None had a camera button. I had a ppc-6700 too but I wasn't trying to take pictured with that. The camera was horrible. Oh I had a EvO too.

Huge dissapointment in camera

Hey people first off all I would like to say that I recently bought myself a new shiny S3 and so far love it. The one thing however that disapoints me is the quality of camera. I had an iP4s before this phone and I must say that it took much much better quality pics than S3 especially in low light situations. The difference in quality cannot be unseen, the pics are supernoisy even without zooming. So I'm asking, is it possible that I maybe got a defective camera on my phone? This fact really annoys me because I tend to use camera on my phone quite often.
I took this the other day - would you sat it is poorer quality that what your iPhone shot?

theres been huge comparisons between the 2 cameras. Theres a thread on here that compares them in a bunch of different conditions and if i'm not mistaken the S3 edged out the 4s (sorry i dont have time to link it right now) .
GSMarena did a camera test S3 vs 4S vs OneX vs PureView and the results were (from best to worst) Pureview, S3, 4S, OneX
I guess it just depends on the way you take the pics but i have heard of some models shipping with bad camera modules... Could u post some pics maybe so that we have a comparison
Check the "pictures taken with your S3" thread.. if yours isn't taking pictures as well as the pics in that thread you may have a faulty camera. I've been nothing but impressed with the camera!

I checked that thread and it really looks like my camera is worse. I'm uploading a picture I took this morning and it really looks mediocre at least. The road is super noisy and the sky looks lie it's finger painted. Plus the overal detail of the buildings and cars is below average from what I seen in current smartphones.
Yeah the road is def way grainy and I see what your talking about

can we have more info on your picture? like iso, etc. i had similiar problems too, but found that with just the right adjustments its still a workable camera
Oh yeah? Well I have iso and everything else set to auto.What settings do you use?

basically i just turned anti shake and auto contrast off. that limits the max iso to 800. then you gotta play around with the scene settings~
Hello. I haven't used the camera much yet but i would have the iso off auto and set as low as possible. Image size at 8mp and quality set to superfine. That would be my starting point. The few photos i've taken so far didn't look rough like the one shown by op. Play with the settings and see if there's an improvement.
Some phones have Sony camera (Perfect, better that iPhone's one), but most phones have Samsung camera (Korean ****)
I was pleasantly surprised about the picture quality my SGS3 produces.
Then again I don't expect too much...
The camera is ok, its only a phone use a camera if u want high quality pics

my camera is fantastic. granted it wont take the place of a standalone. even videos in the house. people are like dude. its so clear. i think they did a great job :good:
the s3 camera is ok. i still think my htc sensation took better quality pictures. the htc sensation camera has more setting options than the s3. i do a lot of photo touching in post for print ads, with photos, using a professional camera but touching up photos from the s3 vs. my old htc sensation, i would have to say that photos taken with the sensation was much better to work with. the s3 is better with video recording. i do plan to shoot a 5min short film with this phone...just cause.

This forum got some good info on the s3 camera firmware, when I got my s3 and took some photos I thought the s3 camera was crap, then when I started reading some of the review and looking at the pictures I thought something must be wrong, I flashed a custom ROM(fox hound 1.4.4 with Franco kernel) its Seemed to have fixed the the problem...

the camera quality on the s3 is awesome
BUT the 4s'S one is better
thats why you are saying its bad
because you are used to soemthing better

Why does the camera suck?

So I love this phone, but the camera really bugs me. Haven't had this poor of a camera since my G1. It takes wonderful still images, but anything else just forget about it. I'm hoping a mod comes to some how increase shudder speed, but not even sure that possible. What do you guys think? Is the camera lacking on your Note 2?

Same for me. The pics look fine on the camera but zoomed in or on a PC they all look grainy.
Could it be a setting, maybe they are too big and don't translate well on lower res?
If anyone has any tips I'd love to hear them !
