I know the device isn't out just yet, but I was wondering if anyone has seen a sample of Nexus 4 camcorder yet? (Front & Back). I rely heavily on my cameras for work & for other reasons & not to bash the G-Nex, but the camera sensor on this device is a little underwhelming to say the least. I heard the camera hardware was based off of the AT&T 8mp Optimus G, but I'm not sure if that's an actual spitting image of what we can expect from the N4.
Any links or input would be greatly appreciated in advanced. Worst case scenario, 10 days isn't too far away!
Here you have some video samples:
Hope is what are you looking for :good:

Thanks sooo much for the quick reply with content. The actually image quality is quite an improvement, but my problem lies with the FPS & the audio to a certain extent. I wasn't expecting perfection, so I'm overall happy with what we have here. I'm sure it'll get better between camera mods & software updates. Thanks again.
The mic makes the video so crap, I tried to record video with my GS2 once upon a time and it was far worse than my old iPhone 4 which had such amazing audio quality. I mean I went to Reading last year and the iPhone 4 was super clear, picked up good bass and sounded great but the GS2 just sounded like I was rubbing a plastic bag over the mic and the bass just killed the mic all together.
So if the audio sucks then there is no point to it shooting video tbh. I just have a separate camera though so it doesn't bother me too much though.
I would love it if someone uploaded the original video file from the phone. Youtube seems to always use an aggressive compression on user uploads, I rarely see good 1080p videos on the site, even from pro cameras.
Make sure to go fullscreen when watching the video and turn your youtube video to 720p HD.
Can anyone help ....
I get HEAVY compression artifacts on the video recordings at 1080p on the nexus 4 itself - even when I upload to the PC. The sound and video is compressed sounding too.
Hi,
anyway to get 4k recording on S4?

No you can't do that. All the Galaxy S4 variants, including the LTE-A variant, can't record 4k videos.

Even if he could it'd be like 5-10 frames per second - assuming the hardware / cam drivers are modified to support that. Why'd you want 4K though when 99% of the people don't have a 4K display yet ;p Not to mention how much crazy space uncomrpessed 4K vids will take when I panic at the speed of 720p/1080p videos use up my s4's memory / sdcard.
that is what 64gb memor card are for and sammies can take 288gb memory cards if you have a ton of cash to burn
I want 4k video BAD. think about it. 4x zoom (via crop in post) and you still have 1080p resolution!!!

Whatabout an app that can record 1080p video, and at the same time take full resolution pics automatically as fast as the hardware can support it. Does anyone know of an app that does this?
Would it be possible to run this through a PC video app that uses the pics as p-frames?
Basically how divx works. You have intermittent hi res frames, and between you have the low res diferences between the frames.

I understand that part.
What Im trying to get at is that while I am making a video, I can simultaneously take pictures.
I was asking if it would be possible to use the pictures as the full frames, (at 4k resolution) and use the 1080p video frames as the inbetween "filler".
If there was an app that automatically took pictures at a set interval while recording video, Im sure it would make it a lot easier to encode 4k-type video from this setup.
Anyone with experience in video encoding and b and p frames?

negative the s3 the note 2 the s4 and the note 3 can all take for resolution pictures while recording video
the catch is the aspect ratio has to match so in 16 X 9 still picture must also be the same aspect ratio so for example on my note 2 the pictures are 6mp on the note 3 and s4 9.6mpiirc
And it can do this as fast as you can press the button at least it can on my note 2
I use it quite often
I am betting it might not be able to do this at 4k on the note 3 however.
Or get 2k recording on s4 .it is possible

The S4 shares its camera module (Sony IMX135), which supports [email protected], with the Note 3.
However, it's also limited by its SoC (4K recording is mostly CPU-limited, not sensor limited), and will have to be overclocked to at least 2.35-2.4GHz to match Note 3's 2.3GHz Krait 400.
A simple camera app port from Note 3 would probably work but lag.

It's not SOC limited and even if you over clock it to 2.4Ghz, it won't record in 4K.
That is because the Adrenocortical 320 cannot decode video at such high resolution

4K Video provides 2X zoom. Its 4 timess the resolution of HD, but technically, 2 times horizontal and 2 times vertical, which makes it 4 times of total. Hence 2x of the clear zoom you are talking about.

For example the LG G Flex Hardware does support 3840x2160 Video Recording but the feature was added.
The Z1 and the Ƶ2 have the same Camera Hardware, so theoretically the Ƶ1 would support UHD-Video-Rec.
The Ƶ1 Compact has a little bit weaker hardware than the other two!

But the Galaxy S4's hardware is too slow for that and would overheat.
The Note 3 can record in 4k because the Sensor is the same, just faster.

Now i'm going to compare the Video Recording features of three phones!
[S4/S2/S3 (For Maximum Resoulotion 1920x1080)]
Digital Zoom=Yes(Lossless to!)/No/Yes
Photo While VRec: Yes/No/Only if Image Stabilization (Digital) is Disabled
Filesize Display: KB/KB/Kb „and Left Space in MB on the Storage you're recording right now"
Video Stabilization: Digital/No/Digital
The Xperia Z2 Zooms Lossless only up to 1080p to protect off „overheating"! 61,2% Stupid, 2,35% Intelligent!
I did record 30 min With the S4 at Maximum 4x Zoom - it got very hot but kept recording!
The Note 3 and the S5+Alpha can Record 5 Minutes per QFHD (=3840x2016 Pixels; 4k=4096x2160! ) Clip, if that would be to prevent an overheating, then why are you able to restart your recording right after the „05-Minutes Mark" -?
Other Feature Comparrissions between those 3 Phones will be added by an Edit!
Did you know:
-The S3 records as good video as S5 in only-FHD mode without getting hot!
The sucking S3 has a better FHD than the S4 because the S4 gets Moiré-Artefacts on the GSM-Arena Video Comparrisson!
-After the S3 Mini was released, many people did verwechseln this!
Some people got a 4.8 Big Phone with a good Screen Resoulution and good FHD-Camera but some others got a Low-Res pixelly phone with low performance because they did not see the „Mini" in the name!
The S3 Mini is not a good phone. The only good thing is the „S3" in it which reminds to that sucking 2012 Flagship Phone! M3 would be a better name!

Like the Nokia 808 and 909, it uses a Smaller Part of the Sensor and Scans the 1920x1080 in a Smaller Part. Samsung did optimized it for x1,0 x2,0 x3,2 and x4,0 so at x3,9 the Sensor will probably build even more heat!

Look at Sony Xperia Z2's 4k on the GSM·َArena Compaire Tool! Right Here!
They've also got old Phones like Nokia 6220 Classic; 6111 and 7110!
But in the Photo Samples, theý're only Cameras from 3MP on, 2mp's like Galaxy Pocket are Excluded!
In the VIDEO-Samples every phone needs to have 720p-Recording or Higher!
The Galaxy Tab S-Models are the ONLY devices that i know, where the Maximum Video Recording-Resuolotions is Higher than the Screen-Resoulutionin! (Without Digitally- Zooming·In!)
The OMNIA 2 (GT-i8000) can record in 720x480 but the Screen-Res is 800x480 but because one of the x/y values is the same as the value in the video size (In this case: y=480) the Cideo can only be displayed in Original Size In.Preview!
The S4 uses 900p for Preview to prevent too much battery usage or overheating
900p=HD+=1600x900 like on a DELL INSPIRiON 17.
But the Note 3 Uses 1080p! Like the S5. The Alpha only 900p! The Tab S's 1080p.
The LG G3 Uses 1080p, the Find 7 1440p ,the Find 7a 1080p-.

What do you mean?
hello there
i was wondering on this issue.
the snapdragon 800 supposedly can do real 720P slo-mo at 120fps. right?
well, i checked many YT videos of the NOTE 3 alongside the A7's similar slo-mo (apple's 5S),
and it DOES NOT LOOK 720P at all. it looks pixelated, or better say, UPSCALED 480p.
while the A7 produce a video that's really usable, and really looks like genuine 720P.
why is that? from the specs i read on the SD800 it clearly says it HAS that capability.
this is a feature i just gotta have in my next phone and i want an Android phone with proper screen size.
any thoughts on the matter?
thanks!
Hmm I think you got it completely wrong..

yea i saw it, thanks.
whether of not this is true, i could see with my own eyes from the many YT 720P videos that it's vastly superior to any other rivals with this option.
mainly the Note 3.
so they say the 5S is not genuine 720p? so it means the Note 3 is even less than 480p? i need FACTS.
and my eyes tell me the 5S looks like 720P. and the NOTE 3 looks like an upscaled 480p
please look in YT and tell me i'm wrong?
the 5S videos are usable to me. the NOTE 3 aren't.
so, why is that?
I don't have any reason to not believe you but.
To me it looks like genuine 720p. GSM arena a respectable site says it's genuine, while the 5s is not, so..
It seems to me maybe you have individual issues with it. Did you try flashing the APK camera again or another rom maybe this will solve your issue?
Worst case scenario is that you have a faulty camera and you need to give it for a repair?

you misunderstood me.
i don't own a Note 3. i am looking for an Android device that can do a decent 720p slo-mo,
and from all the latest snapdragon's out there, the Note is the only one that claims to do a real 720p slo-mo.
i looked at many comparisons videos on youtube, downloaded them and studied them.
conclusion: the 5S is doing at least a x2 better job, whether it's fake or not.
if you could upload a sample of a 120fps slo-mo from your Note 3 and let me study it, i might be proven wrong.
but from MANY samples on YT, my eyes tell me a different story. please check for yourself and tell me.
(i'm not allowed to paste links yet, sorry)
btw - the gsm arena themselves say that they took a 720p video (NOT slo-mo) from the Note 3 and compared it to the 5S slo-mo, so obviously they didn't compare it right imo.
Ok I will be Cpt Obvious but... Do not trust YT. Or the internet samples from the vast majority of YT channels. I only read respectable sites and not the biased stories of every guy that posts or reposts the same videos with unproven or unscientific or biased methods.
Beyond all that, logic says a smartphone that can shoot 4K video @30fps and [email protected] certainly can do 720p @120fps. Especially with a processor like the S800.
If I have some time to upload a video I will do it for you, but I can't make any promises.

Read the article again carefully. They did that since iPhone 5s does not support regular 720p video . Also the method is more than legit if you follow their logic. I am sorry to say that again but I would take the GSM Arena's findings any day over a YT's channel.

Once you choose the video resolution you open the "gear" menu and select the recording mode from a videocam icon that is there. There is no 30/60/120, just normal,fast,slow/smooth/limit for MMS options,depending on the video resolution you choose.
Thanks, I managed to find the options. There are actually some other options as well, you can set 1/2, 1/4 or 1/8 (default).
I've made two quick recordings of me picking up a pen and dropping it, one in slow-mo (1/8) and one at regular 720p. There's a definite difference in quality, I think.
Rather than upping them to youtube, here are the files straight from the device for a better comparison:

He's not kidding. I think many people can't tell. It does indeed look pixelated and i'm here in Singapore. I showed my friend and she can't tell, i wish everyone in the world can't tell so we can all just live a big lie but it's pretty obvious there if u compare it with another 720p at 30fps
I'm just surprise that there isn't too many mentioned about it. :laugh: Sad to say, cos of this issue, i haven't been doing any 120fps video cos of the bad quality, a feature i was really excited over nothing. I wish Samsung would fix it though, if they even think it's a problem to begin with.

I know! I haven't once use it to take a video that i can upload but i'm thankful for the 60fps FHD. That one works really well
There are three modes for slow-mo.
If you select slow-mo 1/2 videos are recorded at true 720p - 120fps (quality is same as with regular 720p)
If you select 1/4 or 1/8 slo-mo (slower movements) videos are recorded at 240/480 fps and resolution is definitely lower (probably 480p upscaled) and you could clearly see difference in quality as well as pixelation.
Try recording at 1/2!

Tried. Quality looks better but i'm pretty sure that's not 120fps? Cos it's almost the same speed as a normal 30fps. Regardless, i think it's really poor. I hate to say this but iPhone 5S one looks way better even though it's not true 720p. And it can actually vary the speed, which is really nice.
Weird thing is the FHD 60fps look so much better that perhaps they should go for 120fps at FHD
I have the same problem.I would like to record 720p at 1/8.Isn't there any third party app that can help us or does it have something to do with hardware limitations?

Thanks, I managed to find the options. There are actually some other options as well, you can set 1/2, 1/4 or 1/8 (default).
I've made two quick recordings of me picking up a pen and dropping it, one in slow-mo (1/8) and one at regular 720p. There's a definite difference in quality, I think.
Rather than upping them to youtube, here are the files straight from the device for a better comparison:

many thanks!
watched the slo-mo.
yea, definitely not 720p for 120fps.
5S wins heavily.
I've been using the Galaxy S8 Plus until I received my solar red U11 yesterday (glad I waited, it's very nice looking). Anyway, I am very impressed with the photo image quality of the phone (it is very comparable to the S8), but I have a few nitpicks about the video recording:
1) No 1080p/60 mode. I really don't understand why it doesn't have a 60fps mode when even phones from 2016 had it? It has 1080p/30 and 1080p/120 (for slow motion), so why no 1080/60? Is it overheating concern?
2) No way to turn of EIS in 1080p video recording mode? While 1080p is very stable due to its combined OIS and EIS, it also crops the view significantly when recording video in this mode (compare it to 4k, which is quite a bit wider but has no EIS). Anyway, the EIS is nice if you want that, but I think there needs to be a toggle or option to turn off EIS and have the wide recording mode in 1080p that is like the 4k mode. As it stands, there does not appear to be a way to change this.
3) 6 minute recording limit in 4k. I guess it's also due to overheating concerns, but why not just make it unlimited and have the phone's temperature monitoring stop recording automatically if it gets to a certain temp? Some people are reporting overheating stoppages even before the 6 minutes, but in cooler environments, we may be able to record indefinitely in 4k.
Things I DO like about the U11's camera though...
1) Photo app and quality are excellent. Nice Pro mode too.
2) Glad I can lock exposure and focus during video recording very easily.
3) Focusing pulling with the touch screen is very nice on the U11 (it doesn't rock back and forth when focusing like many other phone cameras).
4) Audio recording options are very nice (3d audio vs hi-res, and acoustic focus)

Thanks! It's good to see that they are working on adding 1080p/60, though it appears to be a ways off.
Another thing that bothers me (when compared to the S8 or iPhone 7) is that I can't seem to take a photo while recording in 4k. I'm not sure if that's a software or hardware limitation, but I used that all the time on those phones. I really like using the squeeze to open the camera, take a photo, and switch between front and rear cameras though!

Try Open Camera on XDA, it works shooting 1080P without EIS and no time length limitation on 4K.
I've also see the same issue on the HTC 10 in regards to the 4k and taking a photo while recording if you can call it an issue. I suppose no one had complained about it and they left it unchanged

It's a nice camera app, thanks. Tried various settings in the app for video recording. Looks like no matter what framerate you choose, it can't go above 30fps. I thought maybe it would let me shoot 1080p/60, but nope (even when setting it to 60fps, it still records at 30). Also doesn't seem to be a way to take a photo while shooting video in this app? Nice that you can shoot longer than 6 minutes in 4k though (I didn't try it yet, but I assume it works).

I call it an "issue" only because I have come to expect it when shooting video now. In fact, I used it quite frequently on my iPhone and Galaxy S8. Being able to take a photo without interrupting the video recording is a pretty important feature, in my opinion. I suppose one could load up the video in software and capture a frame manually, but it's a feature that other flagships have, so I miss it.

60fps will come with one of the next OTA updates.

Indeed, my old year 2012 HTC One S supported shooting FHD video and taking a real photo at the same time and I owned a Galaxy S6 support that feature too. However, I think during 4K recording that no phone could take a real photo, all they do is just capture a frame from video clip and pretend that is a photo.

Right, I understand it's not an actual "photo" at the highest resolution, but I would still like the convenience of capturing a frame during 4k video recording like I can on all of the other flagships phones.
Wow I'm glad I found this post, I thought I was going crazy with the issues you mentioned, especially the cropped 1080p video! I hope they can fix that with the 60fps update, because it is really annoying.
Hi, 60fps still not possible?

1080p60 is being introduced in stock ROMs with versions 1.26 and higher.
Do you know if EIS for 4k video is planned? Thinking about buying the U11 instead of the much too expensive Pixel 2, but the lack of EIS in this case is a bit of a bummer.
Hye there guys.
Did anybody have the same issue as mine, that when I start to record a video, there will be
some micro stutters about 2-3 seconds. After that it will be gone, but when I wanna start
a new recording, it will be back again.
I know I can try to use other apps to record videos, but for me stock camera gave the best stabilization.
So, anybody have solution to this?
I'm experiencing the same issue, although I believe it is related to the poor software optimization of MIUI.
Hi, same here with Mi 9T. The worst case is recording video in 4K, with a lot of stutters here and there. Some solutions?
Shocking 4k video quality some videos are just unplayable

Also really rubbish slo mo 120/240 not smooth
Sigh. A little bit of relief knowing I'm not the only one. But then this is a global issue, Xiaomi should acknowledge it and
provide solution via updates. So far I still didn't see any camera optimizations from updates that I've received.
Install Google Camera and use it foir everything other than 48M photos. It gives decent 4K videos but don't expect much. You won't see stuttering but fast moving object will bend basically. Kind of like the pencil trick where you hold a pencil horizontally and move it up and down and it seems to bend like if it's made of rubber. It's a $300 phone so..
the processor is pretty weak video-wise so you should've spent your money on 9T Pro for video capabilities

Your talking rubbish pal my previous phone was the 3a XL with the lesser Snapdragon 675 and handled 4k with perfect eis and also before that a mi max 3 which also could do the same with the 636.
Please show evidence next time instead of saying you should of spent more money
And the 1080p 60fps lack of auto focus ..

True. For me the software optimization is the real issue here.
Camera app also lack of good auto focus where sometimes it kept hunting for focus.
So for me the camera app is still not that mature to provide users with perfect camera experience.
It is not about the price. It is about the app quality.
