hello
i want to buy a new android phone and i love capture photos..so which one have a better camera..SGS2 or MyTouch Slide 4G or iPhone 4..i don't care about video recording
Best camera I've had on a smart phone yet; had an iPhone 4 for a bit before this and that had the best camera imo till the GS II, the GS II takes amazing photos and can't forget the 2mp front cam vs the less than 1mp vga camera that you get with almost any smartphone these days...
Theres a post on the GS II general here that says "post the best picture you've taken with the gs ii" or something, id check that thread out as people have some really amazing photos taken with the phone up.
Edit- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1139591
There we go, check that thread out. If you are a skilled photographer or even just a point and shoot guy the gs ii takes great photos.

Well to each their own, from my personal experience i prefer the GSII camera 10x over the iPhone 4 camera. Then again I'm not really a photographing enthusiast I'm just a point and shoot type of person nor do i know the technical stuff about cameras to actually inspect both cameras technically and say which is better. If you are a "pro" photographer id google the specifications of each like the sensor or w/e and read up on it before making a decision.
gs2 camera is excellent..
sent from my galaxy S2.
I'm actually disappointed with the camera, I'm struggling to take any decent pictures with it, although that's probably my lack of talent.
I remember the iphone 4 camera being better, but without having them side by side I'll never know.
On paper the galaxy is better though.
It doesn't replace my 50D, but it does replace my 10 megapixel Sony TX1. Having an 8 megapixel cam on a phone is perfect for most uses.
Wait for iphone 5 or gs3

edit: wrong thread, was meant to post into the "best photo you've taken" one... somehow ended up here...
Anyway, definitely it is much better than my SGS1, esp in lower light. The front camera is unreal also, I take a lot of pics with the front camera when I am out and about (so I can see what I am framing with me in the pic ;-). The SGS1 front camera produced distorted, messy blobs, the SGSII one is quite a bit better. Good enough for facebook uploads, anyway.
But friends took a pic of a group of us with an iphone in a poorly lit telephone exchange, I was amazed at the clarity of the image, my SGS1 was never capable of such an image in those light conditions (my old old Nokia N95 on the other hand, I was nearly always happy with those pics). I reckon (but will have to wait and see till I get to the same location again one day) that the SGSII might just pip it, thanks also to the flash.
Came from an iPhone 4, it definitely has a better camera and it's not very picky when it comes to lighting and focus. In contrast the SGS1 camera was pretty meh compared to the iPhone 4's shots
sgs2 has one very good camera.but the best camera smartphone is the nokia n8.
I agree, the camera is way better than the one the SGS1 had.
First time I can take decent pictures with my phone in a bar - without a flash. Great
I do think the s2 camera is slightly better than iPhone 4 but it does have a slower shutter speed (my mate and I have tested this) and sometimes its hard to get in focus... overall though not bad. Just my 2c
Its not the best camera around but it can surely rival the N8's 12Mpixel camera. The only downside is that there is a pink/green spot depending on the light conditions ( even out doors ) and some users have frame drop issues on low light when capturing 720P. 1080P video is extremely zoomed so this is only good as a 720P video capture. Putting aside the defects, the image quality is very acceptable, altho it still cant rival my very old Sony DSC-P200 ( roughly about 7-8yrs old )
if you use true hdr apps to take pics of the sun you'll be fine
regular camera for the rest
those are (true) hdr from the sgs2:

(accept cert)
dont be fooled with camera apps claiming hdr and taking a single picture - its just image processing and the result sux
im listing that because the iphone4 uses hdr for pics and this kind of pic look a lot better that way
gsmarena has good comparisons of different devices' cameras . It's important to see pictures taken under similar conditions and the same test scene .
One shouldn't expect wonders from such a tiny sensor . Anything not shot in daylight / lowest ISO/ is a compromise.

Hey folks, I just picked up a Galaxy Nexus when it was on sale for $549. I'll probably be selling the Amaze soon. Let me know what you guys would like to see comparison wise between the two. I'm running Bulletproof on the Amaze and AOKP on the Nexus.
Id like to see picture comparison between the two. thank you

I already had a thread a while back regarding picture comparison, there is no comparison as I've been told!!! camera and pictures are below par on the galaxy nexus. There are at least a dozen phones out that take better pics. the new HTC camera is the best on the market, better than iphone 4s's as well... The new camera is currently employed in the amaze and the rezound. f/2.2 28 mm wide angle lense, backside illuminated sensor. the viewing angle is very wide, meaning you don't have to keep moving back to get someone in the pic. f/2.2 gives you very close and clear macro shots and very good shots in general... the iphone 4s has an aperture of f/2.4 the lower the aperture the closer you can get a macro also Smaller aperture=greater depth of field/wider zone of focus.

dude I know you love reading tech articles and stuff but I am not that big fan of blabla details they post on some phonereview websites. who cares what the characteristics of the cameras are on the paper? when it comes to pictures the image talks itself so 2 pictures of the same object will be the best way to judge which camera is better

Because some specs on paper actually matter.. the MOST important thing in the camera is the lense, and sensor which HTC has one of the best in these phones atm, along with Nokia, and Sonys xperia line. I was so disapointed when looking at the pictuers and video taken with the galaxy nexus, its def not worth the $600+ i would never pay that for a phone anyways..
edit: thats why dslr are some of the best cameras on the market. you dont see people saying "its just specs on paper, and they dont matter". its because of the the lense and sensor they put into the cameras. i can see people saying that to MP because you cant really tell a difference between 5 and 8 MP comeing to regular pictures unless zooming in or video

Lets just stop reading about specks of things from now one because they don't matter.
I also love how people come to this forum saying iphone 4s camera is better. I have personally taken multiple pictures with my phone and my friends 4s and put them on my 1080 p screen at home...Amaze kicks the butt out of 4s...some people think the camera on the 4s is better because the picture they see on the phone looks better...It's not a fair comparison. The two screens have different dpi's screen saturations etc. If you want to compare pics...get a big screen best quality screen you can find and connect your computer to it...maybe a monitor better than a 1080p... then judge for yourself...screen saturation of monitors also affect how a picture looks. heck print the picture ans see which one is better.
I have also taken pictures with the galaxy nexus in the store and with my amaze, even with bluetoothed all pictures to both phones and compared, so I have the same screen comparing the pictures...go do it and see which one is better...If you come here for advice and you get one, why do yo argue against it. BTW my brother and I are very much into photographers, my brother more than me. and specs do matter. megapixels after 5 might not not matter as much, but sensors matter the most, and amaze has a very good one, and lense aperture, lense quality and viewing field all matter.
go research and see if aperture size matters!!! I blieve galaxy nexus aperture is like f/2.75 vs ours f/2.2...you're saying specs don't matter...then go buy a computer with the least amount of ram and a slow hard drive and cpu...specs don't matter.

someone was saying in another thread that iphone takes better low light pictures...thats ignorant with lower aperture number you get a bigger aperture size...means more light comming into the camera...so iphone 4s's f/2.4 has a smaller aperture thus letting less light in, than a f/2.2 which has a better aperture letting more light in...just ignorant...lower aperture also leads to better clarity and overall and closer macro shots!!! people should read a little camera 101 before they start posting things based on pure opinions about camera's.

the lense has nothing to do with aperture...on point and shoot cameras aperture size changes based on lighting, on dslr's you can control them manually....on in general lower aperture number is means a bigger aperture hole; thus more light. older phones have higher aperture numbers thus letting in less light, less clarity etc. The big lense size has nothing to do with aperture...aperture is like the iris of the camera...

He was just saying how the HTC camera is better than the Galaxy Nexus, and used the iphone as an example because iphones have such "big hype" for no reason. a good example imo cause everyone thinks iphones are better than everything because the Apple logo/name. then you replied to him saying specs dont matter blah, with that comment he had prove you wrong so i wouldnt be pointing pictures and telling him to gtfo. no need for that

I know there are some sonyericsson phones out there with variable aperture size...If we could change aperture size's like dslr's on our phone it would be heaven!!!! As of now...the lighting is controlled by software...on point and shoots lighting is changed by changing aperture size like the iris of your eye. This controls both lighting and clarity, phones do this through software, thus having a bigger aperture (smaller aperture size f/size) is beneficial because the software can always turn down the lighting if needed...but you cannot get more lighting if you have a smaller aperture focusing pictures is a whole other story and are done through different ways....I gotta make a thread about camera's let me get some good sites and info together and i'll make a nice thread regarding camera quality.

I believe its a little bit of cost issue a little bit of politics. Samsung didn't want their best phone to be the google one. I think google gets a good margin of profit from these types of devices. They probably sacrificed the camera for a 720p screen for cost reasons...the 720p pentile amoled is not that great...the rezounds 720p slcd is much better: 1. because its a smaller screen and has a higher pixel density, higher than iphone, lol!!! and 2. its a regular rgb matrix instead of pentile!!

The one thing about the Galaxy that pushed me toward switching was the AMOLED screen, it's just so pretty! The blacks are so deep and the colors so crisp. Aside from that however, the Amaze pretty much takes the cake, especially in respect to build quality and the camera as mentioned.
Either way, this comparison is rather exciting
hello everyone,
Since the Amaze have 2 camera flash leds, does it mean it takes quality photos compare to Htc One XL (US variant)?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using xda app-developers app
amaze xl camera
Here are specs for Amaze One XL camera:
8 megapixel camera with auto focus, smart LED flash, and BSI sensor (for better low-light captures)
F2.0 aperture and 28mm lens
1080p HD video recording
Dedicated imaging chip
Capture a photo in the midst of recording HD video
Auto flash smartly determined by distance from your subject
Single LED flash
Video stabilization feature removes annoying, shaky motion
High quality slow motion video capture and playback
Simultaneous video-photo capture.
It uses a BSI sensor whose manufacturer I did not learn.
Here are specs for Amaze 4G camera:
8mp auto-focus, dual-LED flash, BSI sensor
F2.2 and 28mm lens
No slo-mo
No smart flash
2 LED flash
No simultaneous video-photo capture
Even not knowing who makes the BSI sensor in the One XL, and even though it is single instead of dual LED flash, I would probably prefer to have the camera of the One XL in my Amaze.
The Amaze had the "Best" camera on a smartphone at the time, and the One XL has the same pixel-count besides another similar set of features, but improves physically with the F2.0 aperture alone.
Considering that it lets in more light, has slo-mo and the ability to capture photos while videoing, I would prefer to have that camera in my Amaze. I was VERY pleased with Amaze ability, and would probably be even more pleased with XL ability. Lack of one LED for flash, and the possibility that it is a newer-gen sensor is a gamble I'd take. But XL doesn't support the 1700 band that most of T-mo's network needs for 4G.
We don't know the LED spec or the sensor specs, thus don't know what difference 1 or 2 LED's will make. I personally would prefer the newer camera, EXCEPT, I would not want to switch from the 8mp I currently have to the 4mp of the HTC One unless camera samples showed it to be in all cases remarkably superior.
You can google around for camera samples, and decide suits you.
The sensor in the Amaze identifies itself as a Samsung product S5K3H2YX. I believe it is the same sensor that was used in the Galaxy SII and HTC One X with better glass than the SII had. It is not a Sony Exmor-R sensor as far as I know.
Thanks for detailed response guys, this thread could be also a comparsion between HTC Amaze and HTC One S (Htc Amaze successor with amoled screen)

Maybe Sony gets there CMOS's from Samsung too. J.K.
I'm interested on the Galaxy A3 2017 phone. Specs wise it seems very good on that front. But I have been hearing some issues like:
1. USB Type-C is of the 2.0 version and not the faster 3.0?
2. Strange speaker placement making the sound tinny?
3. Blue light filter not baked in on the quick shortcuts?
4. Overall screen quality poor in direct sunlight &/or has poor sunlight readability?
5. Camera photo quality is slightly poorer/inferior to previous models? No image stabilisation even on 1080p 30fps?
6. Multitasking and apps reload pointing to a poor memory management?
Can someone please confirm or advice? Thanks.

1. cant realy confirm but ithink 90-100 mb/s is usb3 speeds
2.the speaker is weird but doesnt sound tiny and isnt bad
3.if u mean that its not on the shortcuts on the notification panel then yes it isnt by default but u can add by simply long press any shortcut
4.the screen is pretty good not the best for its price range but it gets verry bright undersunlight but only on auto for a reasson ,
5.the camera is kinda meh ...for 13 mpix theres no much detail and the photos are kinda fuzzy
overall its an amazing device but thhe premium of its prize goes to the look mostly , u can get better hardware at this price range but a3 is the best looking 4,7 at its price range and its specs arent completly garbage ....
i bought for 3 reasson 4.7 its my size , the hardware is fine , got it as a huge deal for 200$ and my previous phone was a windows phone... if u find it for less than 250 go for it u wont regret it
Screen is Amoled so very good but low resolution. Wish it was 1080p. But it gets very bright. Not as good as S8 but good for it's price. Have seen flagships like HTC10 with less performance.
Camera can make pretty shots in good light but it's not great. Depends on what you expect from this camera. For social media it's good enough. Compared to S8 it's a poor performer. Lack of image stabilisation is my biggest issue.
Look at GSMArena for comparison with other phones.
Considering it's price 250,- I think it's a solid phone. Compact, great build, ip68, fingerprint scanner but camera could be better.

Hi i m using this device since launch and its exonys version....but camera pic quality is not what i had expceted..i just blurr the face in potriat mode.and night pic sucks more than that...l
Ya because the second camera telephoto lens low light is not good as the main camera. It would make the phone more expensive if it was good. It's great at day time though
but this is clearly a cheating.i was about to buy pixel 2 xl and this came and i bought due to camera reimagined add.
I wonder if a software update could fix things. Feel the same... The theme for thw s9 was camera reimagined and the note 8 and s8 took better quality. Actually quiet dissapointed. Also exynos version
