Not at all loving it ! Plus I see even the Nexus 4's specs are similar to the One X with just an extra GB of RAM

Oww yess..

Snapdragon s4 pro KRAIT iz amazing if u want performance/cost..new nexus cost 350€ max
Sent from my E15i using xda premium

Interesting fact : The dual/quad core Snapdragon S4 pro krait actually out performs the Quad core Tegra 3 in my One X. Ask Chris. His One S owns my One X in processing capabilities plus this new Nexus 4 is no different. But keep in mind that's about it

What??? His one S owns our tegra 3? That makes no sense. We have a quad core !!!!

I've only taken a few photos with the N4 so far,
Generally...
The S3 camera was brilliant inside in well lit shots (photos with flash came out awful) and the N4 can't match that,
The S3 was always slightly off with certain colours outside, the N4 doesn't seem to suffer this problem.
Things I've noticed...
HDR mode works better on the N4,
The N4 lacks image stabilisation which I liked on the S3,
N4 images look slightly less sharp when viewed full size on a pc (not sure if this is due to the lens, less sharpening or more noise suppression),
When viewed on a PC N4 images seem to have better colour in certain situations (for example, outside my daughters pink coat always looked washed out with my S3 but it looks perfect on the N4),
My S3 occasionally did funny things to peoples faces, made them look like they had been slightly distorted, I could never work out what caused it, it just popped up now and again in photos, not noticed this with the N4.
All my comparisons have been done on my PC and not the phone screens.

That's good to know , Cruz the pictures on the actual phone screens u can't compare ,I shall upload and checc on comp as well

What? A lot of people find the Samsung/Touchwiz camera app to be more "feature-filled" than the AOSP one (especially prior to 4.2), so it's not ridiculous. But thanks for your contribution.

Why can't he be if that's important to him? Some people won't buy it because of lack of an SD slot, or a non-removable battery, and so on. To each their own.

For the price this is a great device but if you use your camera a lot and want somewhat good pictures then yeah id stick with the s3 , some people say if you want good pictures buy a dedicated camera but that's not what people are usually asking , night time pictures aren't that great on this or I got a faulty device I guess

Multitasking is made possible due to modification in touchwiz framework as well as changes to 10-12 apps that support it like browser.
TW framework hogs lots of resources. Even Note2 lags far far more than Nexus.

No. Touchwiz camera is difficult to port even for aosp roms for samsung devices.
About multi Window check cornerstone it came long before Note2 there was a time when CM considered adding it. You can check if some dev is ready to include it in their Roms

no. samsung doesnt release any source for tw so it doesnt work really

Thanks everybody I'll check out for Roms and such

Regarding the source code for tw can't you just extract the note 2 source code and modify that?

Purchase a Note 2 or SGS3 if you want those features. Those features are only for TouchWiz roms, tied with the frameworks and such. Closed drivers for the camera and what not so no this will not happen.

But the thing is I like a nexus I will not support Samsun

Source code is written in 1 or more programming languages. After it goes through a compiler it is horribly difficult to reverse engineer. Actually, horribly difficult doesn't sound hard enough.

You want Samsung features you need to support Samsung and buy their products. Getting a fully functional touchwiz ROM on a non Samsung device will most likely not happen.

Foggish photos using Nexus 4

Hello everybody!
From what've read, I understand that Nexus 4 is based on LG phone, LG Optimus G.
One of my acquaintance bought the LG Optimus G a couple of months ago and one thing that he noticed was that the photos present some kind of "foggish" effect. It's like some kind of smoke in the picture and from he's research, he concluded that the all the Optimus G phones had this "facility". He looked at lots of reviews and he saw this problem.
So, my question: does the Nexus 4 has the same problem?
I found a site which compares the Nexus 5 camera with Nexus 4 camera here:
http://www.phonearena.com/news/Nexu...exus-4-spot-the-differences_id49020#3-Nexus-5
Look at the first 2 sets of pictures, especially the photo with the keyboard.
Is it me or the Nexus 4 photos present the same foggish effect?

In fact the N4 camera is really bad.

2. It is NOT my display. I tried a lot of settings and camera apps on my N4 and compared the photos with other smartphones on ONE display. You should really check your eyes. Even in good light you can see a lot of distortion and the auto-focus does not work properly.

Not mine, but good luck

The nexus fanboys all received a different device from the rest of the world that includes a magical camera sensor!
But to the OP, the nexus 4 includes the same camera as the 8mp Optimus G model. If camera performance is important to you, stay away from this device.
But the again you're looking a 1.5 year old device that launched at a starting point of 300 bucks.

First it's you're.
It's nothing about being tough or whatever other nonsense you're going on about.
When anybody denies reality because of a brand on the back of their devices. They're fanboys
The OP is asking about the foggy picture look. And the device does often produce images with it in various lighting conditions.
Oh not mine! It's your screen... Pure nonsense. It's there.
And now somebody is upset because somebody says something negative about their brand of love. R people.... Get a job / money.... So yup. That's a fanboy alright
