[Q] z2 and g3 camera - Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello everybody..i have sony z2 and lg g3 and you know z2 camera is 20mpx and g3 13mpx but i feel that lg g3 camera is better than z2 does anyone noticed that?

Nope, I had to use a G3 for a few days while I waited for a replacement Z2 from my insurance and thought the camera was awful. Nice phone though, has a couple of nifty software options the Z2 is missing but overall the Z2 is by far the better handset.

Maybe i didnt know how to take pictures with z2 .. I think z2 and g3 the best phones

The software on the z2 isn't the most intelligent. Best to use it in manual mode adjusting white balance and exposure accordingly as you go along. The g3's camera isn't better, by no means, it just does better in auto.

I am very unhappy with my Z2 camera.
I feel like camera on my old Galaxy S III was better.

If your bootloader is unlocked, then your camera pics aren't gonna be as good as a z2 with a locked bootloader.

i can't het good photos on frontal camera,its all noisy,any concern?

Hello
I have had both devices in my experience Z2 has better Camera but I am not saying that G3 camera is bad ,G3 is ahead having OIS and Dual Tone Flash and its not just on paper in real experience G3 takes better photos with flash and laser focus works with charm as I love talking macro shots g3 helps a lot,but then it comes to other stuff like z2 camera is not just for people who like to tap and snap it has ton of options both in app & downloadable ,and in manual mode z2 camera is very flexible

You what, how does unlocking the bootloader change the quality of the camera ?

No No No... G3 camera can't be compared with Z2.
Pictures on G3 are overexposed and video stabilisation is ha ha ha

Here is a test to prove Z2 has no loss in camera quality

I must say that I believe the z2 takes very good pictures. I made the switch from the z2 to the LG g3 and I'm very happy. Both devices take very good pictures. I vehicle the g3 might take better low light pictures in the sense that there is far less noise. But the z2 takes very very good pictures in general. I don't think anyone can go wrong with either device. I think both bring positive and negative things to the table. Just my. 02 cents.

Not true, no discernable difference on Z2, whether bootloader unlocked or not.

Galaxy S3's camera sensor ?

Hi...I'm finally getting an s3 this week But I heard a rumor that not all the S3s use the same camera sensor.One uses the sony sensor which takes great quality pics and one uses an unknown sensor which -as I heard- gives bad quality noisy pics.Is there a way I can make sure mine got the sony sensor when I buy it ? Possible through camera firmware ?
Personally don't think so. Where did you read that mate?
as far as I googled it, i get Sony sensors for every Galaxy S3
so don't worry

He's right, some S3's have a Sony camera module and some have a Samsung one.
The difference is negligible though, they are both as good as each other.
The Samsung one does not have a lot of noise.

But well the sony one is the same one used on the iphone 4s so it must be great(iphone's camera takes great pics).]
Edit:I looked around here and apparently the S3 with sony sensor firmware version is GDFD06 and the samsung one is ZDFE02.I will tell the retailer(which is samsung certified) that I want the one with the sony sensor and if you sent me the one with samsung's,I will return it back lol.

Afaik it's the other way around, GD for Sony and ZD for Samsung.
There is a comparison thread and there is no discernible difference between the two.

Yea,actually I edited my post before I see ur reply.Can you please give me the link to that thread ? By the way,it seems that most of the S3s shipped use the samsung sensor...
Edit:found it,if you are talking about the comparison thread between the S3 and the 4s There is no difference as you said except that the colors in pics taken with the iphone are fake Thanks for the info ^^

Love the detail on the wooden baskets on the 2nd image. Really nice clarity
Very impressive shots coming from a 8MP camera, I guess the camera sensor quality makes up for the low pixel count. Night shots seem to be terrible though, very high amounts of noisy and pixelation. I don't think flash will have any effect on those night shots either, unless the target objects are within 5 meters of the phone.

the Z Ultra camera is too horrible to even give me the slightest inkling of desire to take a single picture with it, let alone post or show off any that actually do get taken with it.

you are absolutely right mate my previous phone was sg s4 . the 8 mp camera on ultra is lyk 3 mp on any smart phone even in the daylight photos are pix-elated. even my samsung galaxy note with 8 mp did a much better job than ultra :crying:

Yep. my almost 2 year old note 1 takes better pictures. well, at least I have my x100s around my neck and a wifi sdcard for when I do want pictures. :silly:

It's Official; the Z Ultra is my new daily driver!

I love the screen on this bad boy! The biggest concern I had was the battery and after testing it is better than I could get with any previous phone. About the same as the Note 2.
If you are on the fence, jump off and go get one!
Now I have to sell my Xperia Z and my S4 Active lol.
What can you tell us about the screen?i am quite curious about it.
Also congratz on getting z ultra

The screen is absolutely beautiful. It is not as bright as the S4 Active or the Z but I am sure they did this to keep the battery life better.
I will upload some pics next to the other phones.

Don't forget to hit the Thank you Button if I helped you in any way
good to know.i always wondered about triluminos display.thank you dude.hope some awesome developers get this device.
So with same brightness and same wifi/etc on, it's same battery life as Note 2? That's pretty good. I was afraid it'd be 2/3 or half of the note 2 battery life.
Yeah battery was my biggest concern but this baby rocks! No worries now.

[Q] Buying Xperia U

Hi guys, I'm really interested in Xperia U but my budget is under$180. Does anybody know a good deal flying around ? I don't mind refurbish , I looked up on Ebay but I'm not sure the quality since all the sellers are from China, I wonder can people fake a Sony device or not? Please help!!

i know 3 people who own them, who all hate them and wish they'd never bought it. it's laggy, it freezes, it's slow. I've updated them to unofficial jellybean and they're better but still not great, considering the original iPhone's were 1gig dual core's too. and they didn't have those problems

well the fact is Xperia U is 1.5 years old and has no more support
So I dont recommend it to anyone now but it is a great phone
You should get a phone with support even if your budget is low, why not get something on contract?
thank you everyone who commented. I'm googling Ace 3 right now. & please keep giving me advice. I really appreciate it.

I'm still on contract with Tmobile until April 2014. I'm living in Midwest USA which dominated by Verizon. Other options are US Cellular & Viaero but their signal is not strong in some places that I go on weekend. so I'd like to be open with get in and out with a plan easily. I'm thinking of having PagePlus service , I don't need data plan so it's even cheaper.

Will witch one is faster and better for gaming
Xperia u with a 1ghz dual core or iphone 4 with single core
If it is hard to play games ??? how could it run jellybean with the same ui as the Z
Will the U can't
Plus it is using a snapdragon chipset and if some dev worked on the kernel it can be overclocked to 1.9 ghz
About resolution
Small device with a low resolution is not a bad thing it is just like the xperia go in display
And the low resolution means less ram usage less battery drain better gaming
The camera is not that bad i think it is similar to xperia u's one cause megapixels does not mean everything in cameras
The only real problem that there is no flash
He can take photos in the morning and use other cameras or phones to take photos in the night
And as i think he is living in america (us)
And it is full of lights as i know lol
Or he can buy a flashlight with the remaining 30$ ( just joking lol )
AFAIK all iPhone's were dual core

Wait till tomow, when the author of that article comes back and says "psyc!"
All I want out of the ZU2 would be better battery, LED Flash on the camera (For flashlight abilities) and an official case that doesn't have a loose stylus holder and make the almost double it's size.
They can keep it's appearance the same, they can leave the screen the same size (Though bigger would be nice, if only up to 6.5"), hell they could even keep the same processor since the difference between the 800 and the 801 they include isn't really big.

Won't happen. Again, why would they joke about a rumor about a niche product that 87 people cares about? Yes, there are 87 Ultra users in the world, so you better feel special. A better prank would be to announce that Sony has sold its mobile devision to those bastards at Lenovo, or that Sony is dropping Android for WindowsPhone.
You should dust off your April fools prank skills, son, 'cause you ain't gonna prank anyone with this weak sauce!

Google I/O is in June(?) so i guess we'll get to see Android 4.5/5.0, which the Ultra GPe will get pretty quickly, so.. not sure i'm going to upgrade this year, unless the ZU 2 is crazy gorgeous and has a teleporter of some kind.
The source is way too vague, anyone could have come up with a news like that.
I bet my 6 yo daughter could come up with something even better.
Come on, "allegedly", "this summer", "at some point in 2014", "led flash and 13mpx camera"... anyone could have guessed any of those, this is simply a bad article, that's it.
And BTW, if they *will fit* a led flash, I don't see why they couldn't fit a freaking 20mpx camera as on the Z2.

Totally agree with I won't upgrade my ZU for a snapdragon 801 no way, I'll wait for a device with the new snapdragon 810 or Tegra K1.
