Hi guys, i was wondering if the camera on the Nexus 4 is above the Note 2/SIII's camera because i wanna buy the N4 or the Note 2 and i am weighing my options.
I read some reviews about the Nexus 4 camera that it isnt so great, it's mediocre.It's true?
If you read the reviews you also saw the sample pics, do they look mediocre to you?
They look great, but compared to the SIII or Note 2 it's not that great.Or am i wrong?
I can only compare to the S3 and there is no real comparison. The S3 has a better camera and the differences can be seen a lot with indoor pics. Kinda a let down but I don't buy a nexus for the camera hardware. I buy it to avoid long software updates.

S3 running standard android - a bit better
S3 running tw - no but not by alot

So only in the indoor pictures is the Nexus 4 a let down, comparison to the SIII, right?
Outdoors they are equally matched?
I am not a camera guy also but its kind of a let down that Google didnt put a better camera in it.
I mean, at least to top the S3...which is 6 months old already.
I have one gripe about the camera.....the view finder looks bad compared to the end result of the picture.I don't know why it's like that.

The difference between the two is less with outdoor images. If I could I would provide sample pics but I no longer have the s3.

Interested as well. I take A LOT of pictures with my phone. Mainly outdoors on the boat or out and about. A phone is a tool to me and needs to have a good camera. I don't own a camera other than the phone so If i catch a nice fish I want a GOOD picture!
I see, it's a little bit worse than the S3's camera but how does it stand up against Galaxy S2?
I currently own Galaxy S2 and I am very satisfied with the camera it has so I hope Nexus can do better than that.
The Nexus 4 is awesome.... but the Camera is driving me nuts. It's the only reason why I haven't bought this phone yet and wonder wether the S3 or Nexus 4 is better for me.
When making pictures the difference isn't that big.. but ad video recordings the Nexus 4 is terribly bad.
So I wonder, since both have a 8MP camera, could get Nexus 4 camera become better by an optimized Android OS? E.g. in the next update?
I have seen a simliar happening with my HTC Desire HD.
Or is the camera simply not as good in the Nexus 4 compared to the S3 ?
Thanks

Maybe a bit , but not much. And yes the sensor in the s3 is much better.

I personally think the camera is good for what it is. The photos I take are easy to edit if needed.
I think software updates could optimize the camera a little better but not by much, if you are looking to make an improvement to the camera, try out the mod in the link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2039553
I guess I have to decide then:
Can I live with bad video recordings ?
Can I live with acceptable pictures ?
Generally my smartphone is the only camera, means even when selling stuff on ebay, making self portrait or pictures of ANYTHING -> I will use the smartphone
I honestly don't record videos that often tho.
Depends what you use your camera for. The pictures I take either go up on Instagram, Twitter or Facebook. I'm just a casual picture taker. And no one has yet to complain on the quality of them, they are clear enough for the average joe. Besides, the difference between N4 and S3 pic quality isn't that huge.
Now if you're using it to actually print photos and such... Or if you're an amateur photographer, then I guess the best possible camera phone is best for you. Which in this case would be an S3 or HTC phone.
Like I said, it all depends what you're taking pics for.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
I'm generally pleased with the way they look, I'm no professional but if they look great to my eye, then I can only guess they'll look great to the average consumer as well. The only problems I have are my two shaky hands, oh how great the pictures would look if they implemented some sort of image stabilization feature
Well I am not a amteur/hobby photograph, but then again, I use it for all kind of pictures.
Surely the pictures won't look bad but still the S3 is better.
For video recordings: The Nexus 4 is for some weird reason really bad (check comparisons on youtube.. S3 vs Nexus 4 Camera) :/
The s3 is just a horrible looking/feeling phone though IMO live the nexus and think it does videos and pictures fine for stuff like eBay and just in general
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 2
I agree the Nexus 4 looks better.. and I would overall prefer the Nexus 4.. but the Camera so far is my only concern. I will look for more picture comparisons today.. when it comes to pictures I think I am fine with the Nexus 4.
But those video recording.. soo bad.. that's why I thought there could be a fix coming soon ? Since pictures look "okay" but videos are rather bad.

Do you maybe have a test video/picture from the lg app ?
the video comparisons I am refering to:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vSlCc8A3t7A
but especially when comparing these two videos (nexus 4 vs S3) the difference is very big:
Nexus 4: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h3jtl5EOrqA
S3: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QcbsWeNqy8c
anyone?
Nexus cameras/sensors have always been weak, starting with the N1.
Marks toolkit for the SGN pimped the camera with some nice mods, maybe the same will be included in the N4 kit in the near future, too.
I´m looking forward to it...
Alright, Nexus 4 it is... let's see if the camera gets optimized somehow.
Time to pack for the snapdragon S800 I suppose, that can handle 55megapixel and 4k recording.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
To be honest, I like the N4 camera. The only gripe that I have is that it applies way too much sharpening on the photos it takes. If they were able to tone that down and add native Android volume/power shutter, I wouldn't complain that much (still image-wise at least)

All settings the same including resolution and it blew my note out of Lake Michigan!
I hope after taking the photos you transferred it to PC or some bigger screens. Seeing it on S4 itself will look the even worst photo good, for it's beautiful and smaller display.

First, You own a Note 1 not Note 2
Sec, This is the Note 2 section not the S4 or Note 1
Third, You lost me at the IP5 camera is the best part
Um, stating the obvious? And which reviews said that? Must have missed them.
[email protected] camera, BTW. Note 2's camera is comparable to iPhone 5 and camera isn't N2's strong suit, mind.
I love my note 2 and I love android, but camon guys iPhone camera is better than any samsung device camera specialy in dark environment and this thing is killing me, if I am mistaken please let me know what are the settings you are using in your note 2 camera.

Mate I have respect to you but this is a completely moot statement. I don't know if you have used the iPhone 5 camera or not, but undoubtedly the iPhone 5 camera is one of the best cell phone camera I have ever used. The winner for me would be the Pureview, and then joint winner will be both Lumia 920 and iPhone 5. Honestly you don't need iPhone 5, even iPhone 4S can beat Note 2 camera hands down.
Doesn't matter how much I hate iPhone, and Apple, what is good, is good. Besides the sensor is of Sony!
And a small request to all who comments crap about the iPhone, first use a phone, then comment. If you haven't used a phone, then how on earth are you commenting, what's the base? Stupidity?
Comment came from a semi-pro D-SLR user and a huge enthusiast of photography (5D Mark II, D5100).
Wow, a later revision of hardware is superior to an earlier version of hardware?
This *is* a shock.
I'm a mobile camera prioritizer, and a few here are really fanboyin the camera issue...I'll just say it this way: all Samsung Mobile cameras have fallen short of the iPhone camera in image quality. All. ...pretty much accepted even with android fanatics like me. Sorry to break the bad news.
And my point wasn't to express 'surprise 'that the new hardware is better...it's the extent that it was better. (Note 2 was marginally better than Note1 w/camera so new hardware doesn't guarantee feature quality improvement).
The iPhone 5 probably does have a better camera... However that's because besides making it thinner and lighter that is the ONLY real feature Apple has added/changed with the phone. Since the iPhone 4 the phone has been the same. And since iOS 1.0 the software has been the same.... Samsung might not have the best camera quality, but that's because they put out a vastly different phone from generation to generation ie. Note 1 to Note 2.

I have used an iPhone and yes, I still stand by the statement that iPhone camera is comparable to Note II (although I'd rate it slightly higher).
Still, we'd give the iPhone 5 the nod here, but keep in mind that it's a win by the narrowest of margins.

Probably it's not just me being "stupid" here, to be honest (quoted S3 reviews since it's almost the same Camera and has direct comparisons with IP5) The only cameras that managed to really impress me is the One and S4. Anywho, lets agree to disagree.
PS: Own Canon EOS 500D (well owned really, gifted it to my brother since I don't do much photography anymore)
4s camera is nice I tried it, I meant the devices older than s4.

We are talking about camera mate, we all know that android rocks and is better tha IOS -a point of view- for me I can not stand ios (I hate it) but when I want to take photos I use my wife's Iphone 4s.

I don't know about you guys, but personally I purchased a phone and not a camera? Since all phone pictures look like crap (compared to a CAMERA) it doesn't matter if it comes with 5/10/100 megapixels. If I want to take good pictures, I use my old Casio 6Mp. It wipes the competition (phone wise) clean off. And Iphone is NO different from other phones - the camera SUX!
My 2 cents...

What I've used, and I've tried will be beyond a lot of people, so complicate the matter won't work with me Nice try.
Honestly, all these mobile cameras are garbage for me, I only use it when I don't carry my SLR or M4/3. And as I said, stop the nonsense fanboyism, iPhone camera is better than Note 2 camera overall, and if it's with flash for night time photography then there is no comparison. Well you can push your 60's Mustang to match a Lamborghini, but you'll never succeed, nobody will.

Had purchased this phone with lot of expectations about OIS camera but unfortunately the camera itself is capable bug LG provided with not a great camera app.
Now I know that there are mods available which to some extent improve the quality of photos but still its not upto the mark.
Now I want to know whether you are using any good camera app which you consider gives better result than the stock camera?
Looking forward to your suggestions.

I personally think the camera itself is great piece of hardware, the software is on the other hand, however, as many reported (and I agreed) the IQ (image quality) when taking in the good light source is super. In another hand, when taking under low light condition, it's crap.
There is a modded version of it, if yours is rooted, give it a try.
I tend not to install 3rd party app.
I've tried the camera on stock lg rom and 4.4.2 on PA, both pictures look terrible compared to the Nexus 5's camera with HDR mode.
I am using Focal camera (from the ex-CyanogenMod app ). Great UI and features. Still beta, but no lags for me)

lmao. random noobs who haven't even used the other device talking about comparison? what do you know? nothing.. keep theorycrafting.
the nexus 5 has an optimized camera app that has better image stabilization and HDR+ mode that actually works by taking 5 pictures and combining it into a much crisper picture compared to normal mode. the HDR mode in the G2 looks practically the same in terms of sharpness and quality.

I'm the opposite heh, I returned my Nexus 5 and picked up a G2 and think the pictures from the G2 look considerably better, in anything but great lightning. Outside with great lighting I think both create very good photos. Additionally, while the software part on the G2 isn't great it's still well ahead of the camera software on the Nexus, which is about as bare bones basic as you can get.

I think it actually only uses 3 pictures though. But not sure. I saw in a review that it uses 3 with 4.4.2 to make it faster a little. But it still turns out great. I personally can't see the difference in pictures unless placed side by side but that's just me I think since I don't really pay too close detail.
One thing I want to say is video on the nexus 5 is terrible unless full day light and even then not very good. It darkens it so much (which I think is software) but it's practically unusable with out lots of light because of that. Hopefully Google fixes that

Is the image stabilization a hardware feature? Like, in the VS980 version of the G2, does image stabilization work when using AOSP-based KitKat roms and the default AOSP camera?
The Lenovo Supercamera or whatever it's called will blow you away mate.

That one is in my Dropbox, it's the same APK from the thread in Apps & Games section.
I think they renamed it to Lenovo SNAPit too, not sure.
Change it to 13MP in the settings menu too, because it's set lower as default.
Here are some shots I just took (huge images)

I'm disappointed too with g2 camera (d802), it is extremely slow and in low light it is impossible to take pictures. Then I installed aosp roms and things got worse. Here some pics, taken in very low light with aosp camera (android 4.4.2) but even with stock rom camera I can not obtain decent results.

Hi, traded my trusty ol Nexus 5 for the be spoken M8 Eye. I have been a droid loyalist since the gingerbread days, have used HTC legend, desire , evo3d, galaxy notes, s4, Xperia ultra , nexus..but I swear by God this the best buy yet.
The HTC phones are sure built like strong German cars, and comparing to new iPhone 6, yes, m8 just tops it on handling and finish. The i6 feels like the older HTC one x.
Sound clarity is beautiful from the stereo speakers, SQ is there but it could have done with more loudness.
Out of box it came preloaded with KK 4.4.4 and the SenseUI is buttery smooth topped with good battery life.
Camera quality is all good, very snappy in locking focus unlike nexus5. My camera usage is very basic so not commenting much.
Happy to be part of XDA..thanks!!

The Eye is great with the 13MP camera, I just understand why HTC omitted NFC and the Infrared port on it.
The m8 eye is a good looking device ! I like it...but I won't trade my current m8 unless it brakes jaja if it does I might get the m8 eye
Is the camera just more MP, or is it actually upgraded hardware wise?
Just curious. ?

I still use an 8 MP Kodak camera, cause the pictures are awesome. And I don't need to blow them up. ?

Couldn't agree more about no need to blow up photos, and I have no interest in making posters with my camera photos. I think the pics the original m8 takes are great, but they needed to make the eye version to appease all those who felt more megapixels equals better. There are also those who swear their pics are washed out on the original, but that hasn't been my experience.
I asked cause my wife might be interested in an M8...and was curious if I should look for an eye... But I think the original M8 is more than good enough.... For a phone camera anyway.

It's not just about quality...it's the ability to crop since we don't have optical zoom.
Let's say we only needed 30% of what's in the frame and you crop it tight to get rid of the unwanted background or foreground....your 4mp image just became a webcam resolution image that's only gonna be good for mms!

Yes, agreed.... But that's for you. Your photo needs, right. Me, I point and click... And that's all I want/expect out of my phone.
More important things, I use my camera.
And quality is pretty important... Especially for what your describing. Even with many MP, blowing up a poor quality pic is just enhancing the poor quality.
IMHO. ?
FYI as per GSMArena specs the Eye is also missing the IR port & NFC compared to the regular M8.
Just thought I'd share this (again, see post 2) since a few people subsequently commented that the phones were identical sans the camera.
