Hell yeah! I love the red pictures in dark settings effect.
Also, even if it were still a 4MP camera, it could very will be a completely redesigned, or at least tweaked, sensor that would perform better than the current one.
Seems like you have been saying that for over a year now, done with HTC
I'm pretty excited and I'm okay with the camera.

Same boat here. I ditched HTC after the 3D and the One was their final chance for me. This camera sucks beyond comparison. Makes the phone only a fraction of what it should be (yes I've had my device replaced). Only nexus devices for me from here on out. I'll pass on HTC's crappy radios and cameras.

Every single person at HTC should be fired, these shakeups they've had obviously are not working. Other than the camera I love the HTC One, but using the Nexus 5 for the past week or so I haven't missed a thing about it. I will probably end up selling it and not be coming back to HTC unless they can get there act together.

Everyone is so friendly with each other .... so I thought I'd chime in with my own opinion. Name one device that any of you have used that the camera actually measured up to what they say it will....anyone? I especially love how the N5 fanboys in other posts had the balls to say the N5 had a better camera when it is exactly the same as the last one, and yes, I owned an N4. Don't get me wrong, I'm totally with everybody that these companies should stop crowing about how great their camera is when it ain't, but GET REAL. As I have said before somewhere around here, when it comes to new devices, COST IS A FACTOR. Soooooo, would you rather have the same camera or the same processor? Same cam or the same screen clarity? They know they have to cut costs somewhere, this is where it happens. GET USED TO IT. It ain't no greener in the other dude's yard. If the camera is that important, buy a Nokia. The camera is the only thing about that device that's worth a s***. My two cents, flame away....:angel:

The camera in my HTC Evo 4G LTE was amazing. I used it at work all the time, and my co-workers refused to believe that the pictures I emailed from job sites were taken with a phone. It made my brother-in-law complain about the pictures he got from this GS3, which looked crappy by comparison. That phone was largely the reason I "upgraded" to the One. There have been a few incidences where the low-light capabilities came in handy, but overall I've been fairly disappointed by the "ultra-pixel" results.

Yeah, I hear you. My ONE takes great pics in near-perfect conditions, crappy ones in bad. But, my experiences with the N4, LGOG, and the ONE, not to mention my wifes GS III or any of the iPhones shes had (4, 4s, and 5) were really no better. I have just been resigned that the cam is one place that smartphones will lag until costs come down. Or until I can afford a 1000 dollar device. Have you guys seen the Lenovo?

...and I'll bet the cam aint that great on that badboy either lol
To keep the same camera says that there would have to be more people that like the camera than not. Most people come to forums to complain but that's a small percent of the overall user base. I still have my evo4glte and the ones camera outperforms it. If they left the camera the exact same and said it was 8 or 12mp people would all of a sudden say it was better just because of the number.

At the very least it's worth waiting to see what will be available....unlike the PS4 vs Xbox One, which was crystal clear early on who the front runner was.
There are also rumors that it may have an octo core processor. Maybe outlandish but we shall see. Maybe they include a 20mp or 41mp camera like the lumia.

Truth. I can only assume people have been smoking some pretty potent weed lately because they complain about the cam sucking yet it's one of the better cams on Android devices. Whenever my brother needs a pic he uses my One instead of his EVO LTE. Go buy a Nokia or iPhone, maybe G4, but don't go whining about a Nexus being the solution because it isn't. ll this crying over an article that only had an early spec leak for a prototype, and it doesn't give any info besides MP? lol c'mon guys, get real.
They really do need to innovate in the camera department. The same bull camera will be a fail.
If ScamSung ever overhauls touchwiz & give it a premium design... It's all over

Sorry but no way they release a device next spring time and use the S800 then with same specs elsewhere as the One.... Nokia has the camera dept won in my opinion just sucks they are doing windows...

To those that are leaving..... That's nice, everyone will surely shed some tears for yall ......

It looks like it is a cheap version of the other HTC phones with a gimmick screen. I was seriously tempted by it, but I am hearing other news that it is a decent phone that feels cheap compared to the predecessor...Dont get me wrong, i hate the plastic on the Nexus S, but, for a "flagship" phone, plastic optics sound crappy.
Read that review closer. They say they barely used it, then go on to say they used the **** out of the internet, and camera. and only got 14 hours.
I wouldn't speak to build quality until you can hold one, to engadget anything short of the iphone is a giant piece of crap to them.

For a handset with such a broad range of standout features and specs, the Galaxy S II is remarkably easy to summarize. It's the best Android smartphone yet, but more importantly, it might well be the best smartphone, period. Of course, a 4.3-inch screen size won't suit everyone, no matter how stupendously thin the device that carries it may be, and we also can't say for sure that the Galaxy S II would justify a long-term iOS user foresaking his investment into one ecosystem and making the leap to another. Nonetheless, if you're asking us what smartphone to buy today, unconstrained by such externalities, the Galaxy S II would be the clear choice. Sometimes it's just as simple as that.

Fanbois always complain, but to be honest, Apple does a lot right with their stuff and, generally, the praise is warranted. For the majority of people Android is "different" and not as comfortable as the dead simple Apple solution...
I am more amazed that the EVO3D was so mediocre in so many areas. People ***** about the Nexus S lacking 720p video, single core, etc...but the phone "just works" without needing all the gimmicks.
i know most benchmarks are meaningless, but i am sure the Dual Core push is due to ****ty coding on Sense/TW/Blur...My Nexus S crushes my wife's Epic and they are virtually the same core hardware.

The Dual core push is "bad" because they're running on software that is not yet optimized for Dual Core processors. The only things optimized for dual cores are Honeycomb and the upcoming Ice Cream Sandwich. But even then, Quadrant isn't optimized for Dual Cores. So like you said, Benchmarks mean nothing.
Also, they're running on Android 2.2 for the most part! LoL

Ill wait till the GS4 comes out lol i'm waiting for another keyboard these companies are stupid for making a straight edge touchscreen phones, there okay but their not awesome.
If i were to make a phone i would throw a 2GHz Dual or Quad-core CPU, 400-500MHz GPU, a 5-16MP Camera. (16 in back and 5 in front). CM9 (4.0.3), anywhere from a 4.5 to a 5" screen with a damn Keyboard but make the phone slimmer it will obviously be a bit bulkier than just a touchscreen but slimmer than the Epic 4G.
HAHA Will laugh at this post one day when we do or have better like probably in 2015+
That's just my feelings for those who want to update their phones constantly.

I didn't mean it like that, I meant it as like what's the real benefit to all these phones that are expected to come out.

A valid argument on both sides. But with respect to the camera, the way I see it is the point-and-clicks are going to be extinct in a few years. If your smartphone, of which everyone owns (or will own) one, has a camera that works just as well as a separate point-and-click, why own a point-and-click?

See, I frankly dont give a crap about the hardware specs of the GSIII or whatever my next phone will be. I want a few basic things out of it though:
Ability to play high profile h.264 video in 1080p
MHL port functioning day 1
USB OTG without a need for external power
NFC
Apart from those, pretty much the only other consideration I have is the size and quality of the screen. The CPU/GPU are gonna be adequate no matter what they are from this point on. Having a quad core isn't necessarily gonna offer me anything more than having a quality dual core. The GPU/video decoder is important, but the CPU not that much. I dont care about the camera, especially not the FFC which I have used 1 time. I dont care about a hardware keyboard because I rarely use it anyways.
I probably would rather get a GNote instead (hopefully the GNote 2 will be out by the time my upgrade in June comes up). That 5.3" screen is tempting. Got to play with one yesterday from a friend who put it on AT&T (International version unlocked) and to me it doesn't really feel too big . In fact, browsing web pages is amazing on that thing. Plus I took a pic, wrote and drew on it with the included stylus, and sent it to Facebook.

More Samsung sales equals less apple sales
What event?
the Apple event is all hype. One thing is for sure, we won't be impressed by the specs cause that's what android does best, having. The best specs.

Well I think iPhone 5 will win in....
Camera (Unless they use iPhone 4S camera again then it will be on par with S3 and Note 2 which is not so likely...)
Graphic (PowerVR... Again unless they use 543MP2 again...)
you should be happy with the fact that samsung has done well enough to satisfy their customers, they are learning fast. Expecting too much from them is totally unfair

8mp or 12 mp really only means that the 12mp is a larger photo.
People are falling for that myth that more megapixels equals better well have a read through this
http://www.digital-photo-secrets.com/tip/333/do-more-megapixels-mean-better-photo-quality/
And with the graphics it will have to catch up a fair bit and then some more to be better

About camera....
GS3 and 4S is using the same camera module. If Apple does not upgrade, it should be already about S3's camera standards.... Its not about MP I am talking... Of cos for iPhone 5 if they changed the camera, it would not be lousier than the 4S's camera... So its a high chance it can beat S3 in camera...
About GPU...
PowerVR 543MP2 is inside the 4S. I didn't say it beats S3's Mali 400. Apple loves to use PowerVR graphics. And if they upgrade to lets say... 543MP4 (iPad 3's GPU), it will beat the hell out of Mali 400 and Adreno 320.... And getting 543MP4 is very likely IMO...
I was thinking the same thing this morning.
It would be so cool if Samsung would do an official release of JB for the S III later today or tomorrow morning... that would steal all the lights and attention from Apple.
Seriously... if Samsung did that, it would really piss Apple off.

No. SGS3 Camera is not the same as iPhone 4S.

Clarification added June 4, 2012 – we have seen some reports suggesting that we found it to be the same sensor as found in the iPhone 4S. The bond pad arrangement is not the same as the IMX145 found in the iPhone4S nor is it the same as the IMX105 found in previous Samsung phones. The initial opinion (subject to more analysis) is that the sensor is new.

What do you guys think? I think its a winner. All Sony's 2012 phones were terrible.
I think it has nothing to do with the Nexus 4...

It doesn't look bad at all. And dust, water resistance is always a plus. But I prefer the N4 with pure android and updates from Google.
It's OK to post this here. We don't have an off-topic forum, or even an off-topic thread, right? Oh wait...
Agreed. This has nothing to do with the Nexus 4. If you're already willing to jump ship, well... Boo.

Yeah, but alot of the CM devs seem to like Xperia phones since Sony actually works closely with them so they have functional source drops, blobs and documentation... Which means that Sony is good enough for people who are interested in their designs.
Non Nexus phone? no thanks.
Here are the key specs for the Xperia Z:
1.5 GHz Snapdragon S4 Pro quad-core processor
1080p HD 5-inch display
Android 4.1
4G/LTE
2GB RAM
13.1MP rear camera; 2.2MP front-facing camera
NFC
Water and dust resistant
Dimensions: 139 x 71 x 7.9mm
Battery 2,330 mAh
Up to 16GB Memory; expandable (up to 32GB) via microSD card slot

... same thing I mentioned in the other thread. phones being announced at CES are still being released with older android versions. waiting for the update to come out? no thanks. I will stick to my Nexus devices, I can't trust any manufacturer to release updates for their phones in a timely mannered. nice specs though.
Glass back? Guess it will get scratches 'out of nowhere'.
In that respect I guess it does belong in this forum

They weren't.
But with them releasing a phone like this, it kinda makes me hope the next Nexus is made by them. The Nexus Z? I could go Sony for that. Hell, I went LG for this one, and I swore I would never do that again.

Deja vu Xperia S release?
Actually they are better this time. I'm surprised they have 4.1, instead of 4.0. ROFL
Screw all these phones getting bigger and bigger its so depressing even with this nexus its semi hard to type with one hand when ur reaching over for the A or Q ..no complaining but cmon where are they gonna draw a line of being too big for mobile use

Yeah they aren't even comparable, it's twice the price of N4.

I love Sony and I hope they can see success in the future. I'm a Sony loyalist to the bitter end. I would love to see them make a Nexus device in the future. I would consider buying one of their products if they made devices that mattered. Sony used to "wow" the world with their innovation and design. I find it sad to see them make marginalized products. Even Steve Jobs tried copying their design and that says something. With that said, this phone looks like a step in the right direction. The physical design is stunning and I’m sure the screen tech will blow people away, however I really think they needed to bring their A-game, but this looks like another phone that will get lost in the shuffle. In terms of specs, it would have been awesome if they stuffed a newly announced Tegra 4 and some new battery tech (keep in mind Sony is a major manufacture of high-tech batteries). Sony really needs a game changing device to blow away companies like Samsung & Apple and I don’t see this being that type of a device.
Why is this on the Nexus 4 forum?

Were they ever away?
Their hardware has already been great, it's just their slow update cycles that swayed me towards Nexus 4.

Just as the Engadget Podcast said.... when was the last time you could remember a hit phone by Sony? Android? Nope sorry. Yes they have tried, but their company is more PS3 and other things focused. Yes maybe they are now realizing that Mobile is THE place to be( a little late there) and hopefully they can get their sh*t together. I love my PS3 and other Sony products but their presence is not felt in the mobile industry, regardless of how good their hardware is. HTC make Beautiful hardware, but even they are sliding off the map...
4 easy step Success recipe for Sony, HTC or any other struggling company:
1.BEAUTIFUL durable, Hardware, make it 4.7( nothing bigger than that)
2.POWERFUL guts like quad core, 1080p display etc,
3.PURE Google Android, with ( people LOVE this! Look at other companies that are doing this, Huwaie, ZTE etc..)
4.Stick to ONE phone and make it your Flagship phone!
5.Guarantee the fastest UPDATES for it besides the Nexus for 2 years!
Done, you will have a hot seller! Oh and market it right, no creepy commercials.

So it's time to retire the G2. I left the S4 for the G2. My first impression of the S4 was lagfest. Drove me insane. Does anyone think the S5 will be the same way?
Without being biased to Samsung, which device do you think will be a better phone? I am not brand loyal. When the announcement of the S5 was over I was highly disappointed and expected much more from them. I haven't had a HTC device since the EVO4g.
Thoughts with the M8 releasing tomorrow?

There is no better device, there's just a matter of preference. If you have a chance go to your local best buy and try the S5. Then go to a Verizon store tomorrow and try the M8 then pick which one you prefer.

I am a Verizon customer so I cant do Sony. I also have a droid Maxx and it's just OK. No Nexus either with cdma

If you're gonna retire the G2, would it be possible for you to donate it? I currently maintain a G2 Help Thread, and a G2 Index thread. It would make it much easier for me to help out on these threads and make XDA better. Thanks. If you can't I would understand.

I have seen some camera samples from the M8 and they don't look that good.
4 MP is just not enough IMO, Ultrapixel or not.
Also, it's larger than the S5 and yet has a smaller screen and also On screen buttons.
But it's better that you look at both of them hands on before you decide.

Thank you. I guess I'm not the only idiot here because HTC is a Taiwanese/Chinese company. So HTC phones are literally, chinese.
But anyway, one of the main advantages the 2013 One had now is gone, the 2014 One lacks OIS, big fail.
No OIS in M8
How can they remove an important feature like that for the sake of gimmicks like 2nd camera?

the images from M8 looks even worse that m7 specially in low light AND no OIS #fail
It would seem that there is just alot of fanboys of sony and htc around, as I see people complaing that the s5 is a s4s and all this crap the plain turth is all of the 2014 phones are only a minor upgrade to last year and the m8 even less so.
I just came back from carphone warehouse tottenham court road where i played with the remote err i mean phone.
people say the s5 is zzzz, well this is zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Phone is so very nearly the size of the note 3, it looks good in terms of the shape of the phone but the new material feels less premium than the m7 imo, it feels more plastic like compared to the m7. the htc logo argghh that logo such a waste of space and makes the phone bigger for no reason and uglier imo. the camera is rubbish.
sound quality is good though and the phone is loud and lots pf bass and clarity
screen looks good
phone memory is 16gb in uk with 9.53gb available (yet people complained about the s4) and yet sense 6.0 doesn't have as many features as the s4.
All in all imo its hte least interesting htc phone ive seen since the sensation. Wasn't impressed atall. I remember i was so excited when i played with the htc one last year that just after 3 mins i pre ordered it.
Htc m8 is a big let down in my eyes. Good design with poor camera quality. Hardly any cool software upgrades. This is not the way to sell HTC.
