Just wondering what resolution the camera captures video at? Still 320x240 or is it any better?

352x288 in MPEG4
Thats a pity, had an Acer WM device for a bit that took VGA video, anything less isn't really worth editing on a PC.
Thanks for the info

The iPhone 4 does the same,i wonder what is the reason for that...

i read about the iphone doing the same but i have no clue
ya read that too on gsmarena.. hope they fix it by release time.
It isn't a really terrible issue,but i can't help but keep wondering what's the reason for that zoom.
It wasn't solved on iphone 4 so i guess there's a "deep and technical" reason beyond that.
Maybe the 1080p doesn't divide well into the 8 megapixel camera for easy conversion, so they make the viewable area slightly smaller so it is a nice multiple of the 1080p, because the processor can't handle the load otherwise. Shot in the dark.
Could it be that you can't display a full 1920x1080 video in a 800x480 screen?

i doubt it because you cannot display full 720p either ie 1280x720 but it doesnt crop/zoom that image when you video record..

No it doesnt. Double tap your screen and it zooms out.

Naturally it is so and also logical !
How should a 800 x 480 pixel screen show full resolution of 1080 p ? It is not possible physically. Only via HML on the TV-screen You will have full HD res.

1) Scale 1280x720 to 800x480, in which case you get an aspect ratio error of 1% which is more than acceptable.
2) Scale 1280x720 to 800x450 and pad the rest with black bars.
Is that what was asked?
For comparison purposes, my Captivate does this also. 720x480 is zoomed; 1280x720 is zoomed further.

450? did you watch the video? the problem seems to be only in 1080p and as far i know 720p and 1080p have the same aspect ratio

450 because it will be the same AR. Anyway, apologies. I should have read further back to see what the actual problem behind the discussion was.
Do we know the reason for this? All of the retail units are doing it.
Its simply a lower viewing angle at higher resolutions, its not that uncommon on video recording devices.
not sure I understand?
The youtube video in the OP shows RECORDING, not playback, right?
When it records in 1080p, the screen shows a zoomed in picture.
This is because the phone cannot take raw 1920x1080 video stream from the camera, and at the same time be encoding it as 1080p and saving it to memory, and downscaling that raw 1920x1080 stream to 800x480 to display on screen. This phone is powerful, but not that powerful. Or maybe that youtube video was of not final software.
Yes it's zoomed, and that's a hack to make it possible to record 1080p.
They've basically just cut off the pixels on the side, and are using 1920x1080 pixels from the centre of the camera's sensor.
This way, it doesn't have to process the "extra" pixels on the side, do pixel binning etc. The sensor is decent enough that 1080p still looks crisp at native res.

Ahh that is what they were showing Makes sense, just like the iP4 then - thanks for the explanation.
Ok using the GE 4.3 ROM, but I can't figure out what resolution the wallpapers should be.
I have some 1920 x 1080 that I used to use before when running the stock Samsung ROM, but with the GE ROM is keeps wanting me to crop the image.
So what resolution wallpapers should I be using?
Since it's 1920x1080 say I want to go lower like 1680x1050 or 1366x768 or even 1280x720 or other such type of resolutions?? I think that might be a way to save a bit of battery since I don't think I'd notice a slightly lower resolution.
Just curious if such a thing is possible.
Try Resolution Changer from the playstore.
I'm testing the resolution to 4k and it seems that it looks better than the default 2k. That if the battery goes down something faster.
If you want to try is easy. With adb shell (pc) or console (mobile) put this:
Adb shell wm size 2160x3840
Adb shell wm density 640
The first line is for resolution and the second for density. Never lower the density below 600 with 4k resolution, if you do already know .......... launcher loop and format the mobile.
For mobile by console (app terminal) ....
First enter as root with "su" without quotes and commands:
Wm size 2160x3840
Wm density 640
If you want to return to the default resolution and density
Size wm 1440x2560
Wm density 560
Note that if you do not change the two lines of the dpi option of the build.prop file, some options of the launcher (lock clock and something else) will be seen with the default dpi of the rom (560).
If we change the resolution will not work the screenshots, but by third party app's if (google play). The screenshots are output to 4k and not to 2k.
P.d: The normal or reasonable dpi for 4k is 800-840.
P.d2: Do it under your responsibility (if you do not know, do not touch)
P.d3: The youtube app the maximum that it offers are 2k.
Edit:Really is a 4k screen? Could you implement 4k in the kernel as in xperia z5 premium?
Le max 2 screen is a 2k not 4k
So is it possible to set resolution to 720 or 1080p to improve performance and battery life?
I Issued those command with no error/success and couldn't find option for 4K in video settings. Did I miss anything?

Good question. 720p would be ideal as 2K (quad HD) is a direct multiple of 720p (HD), so scaling would be no problem.
Hello,
I change the resolution to Full HD
Adb shell wm size 1080x1920
Adb shell wm density 420
I use the Pixel Launcher and I haven't problems, but I test with default launcher and was deformed.
I don't see how you changed it to 4K when display does not have that amount of pixels... can't you smell this smell?

Heyyo, err... It's called downsampling. It's a technique used generally on PC gaming to improve texture quality and lower aliasing compared to using post processing like FXAA or SMAA as those can have a smear or blurred effect to them sometimes.
Nvidia have Dynamic Super Resolution which is a driver software based solution
https://www.geforce.com/hardware/technology/dsr
AMD went the hardware route so there's less performance hit but more limitations on resolution. Virtual Super Resolution
https://www.amd.com/en/technologies/vsr
With that said? I think the gains on the Le Max 2 downsampling 4K UHD to QHD (2K resolution is technically 2048x1080 also known as 2K DCI... QHD = quadruple HD and HD is 1280x720) would be quite minimal since the pixel per inch of this 5.7" QHD acreen is already so ridiculously high compared to a TV or computer monitor.
