S6 vs G4 camera comparison - Galaxy S6 General

Would like to start this again and get memzworld insight on the cameras. Hopefully silly mods won't close this one, as this topic needs it's own thread.

I think the message is if you want a great camera phone get either an s6, note4, g4 or iphone 6+ and neither will disappoint you (how's the z3 because somy actually makes the sensors)

Thanks for creating this thread.

I agree with you about the mods. They are too overzealous with the closing of threads. I don't want to go into one single thread for all things related to the camera when there are so many facets of it that can be discussed. Those huge threads with hundreds of pages are a PAIN to sift through - there can be 3 or 4 different discussions running at once. It's way too cumbersome.
If you want to discuss the S6 camera on its own, go to the camera thread, but S6 vs G4 camera I think deserves its own thread.

Silly mods won't close it. Sensible and sane mods on the other hand...
Camera is camera is camera. Should we have individual threads for S6 vs every other phone camera there is? I think not. All comparisons should go in the S6 camera thread.
Thread closed as its a duplicate.

You take the absolute worst pictures. Nothing will make those look good. Check the settings in your camera. The phone is capable of much better than that.

Lol yeah, I wonder why turning the lights off in a room and using only the flash on the phone makes bad pictures [/sarcasm]
On a serious note, please learn to take photographs before saying the camera sucks

Photos Comparisons....S6 vs "Others"

Just curious as to others that have multiple phones. Show as close to idential shots with the S6 and the "other" phone/camera.
Here are some from my M9 and the S6. Both are in the out of the box fully auto settings with auto HDR as well. I also picked a central focus point on each before snapping just to be fair that they focused on the same spot. These were taken on a normal early summer evening. No bright sun but not dark. The S6 is just in a different league than the M9. I really am disappointed with HTC this year. The only thing going for the M9 is it does have noticeably less lag. Although it is a far cry from how much faster than S5 was. This time the lag is bearable on S6. File names show which is which...but easy to tell without looking at the files names. LOL
Not sure why some are auto rotating when uploading...but you can still see the difference.
a few more.
retry on upload
last ones.
I was amazed that the S6 even had depth of field without using any "gimmick" filters.

Very important news about this phone!

Please don’t delete this topic it’s fair warning!
I hate to be right sometimes but as I told long ago after years of testing it turns out that the best camera of Samsung was in S6 / S6Edge+. Test it yourself. Hold S6 in one hand and for example S8 in the other and take a photo in good light. Then zoom it on the phone and you will see that S6 has better details, no artificial brightener while for example S8 has it.
S6 has 16 Mpix and all flagships that came after had 12 Mpix rear camera.
I’ve tested S6 Edge Plus vs. S7 / S8 / S8+, Note8, S9, S9+ and…
only S9+ finally beat S6. (look how Samsung did bad for us from Sep2015 till March2018)
I wish I had NOT sale my S6 and bought a newer one
If You don't believe me? Ask XDA members who has S6 and a later Galaxy S model (but not S9+)
This is a Warning for You don't sell your S6!!!! or sell only if you can afford to buy S9+.
I did the wrong thing so I Warn you no to make the same mistake that I did
Dont get the wrong idea. I have nothing against S7Active. I just tell that in good ligght S6E+ wins.
There was a topic with XDA members (elite,expert and dev) agreed with me.
You are absolutely 200% correct on that. I noticed the decrease in image quality (Not only sharpness and resolution but also color and overall image appeal) immediately after I got the S7 Active. I wish my S6 Active wasn't stolen. That camera was better than this.

Finally someone out of a few XDA members agreed with my observations.
Can a moderator delete this thread? I don't see how pining over a phone that's three generations old is useful and even relevant to the S7 active. What are we supposed to do, ditch our phones and go buy an older phone that is no longer supported and likely to have worn out batteries and the like? This has to be some kind of joke.

With all respedt dude You dont understant THAT was a warning for people that want to change S6 ONLY for CAM quality and they wonder what to change for. Its for them not for You. You absoylty musnt dich your phone. Please understand.
I said about a lot of people haaving S6 and their 1 and ONLY reason (cause it's a great phone) was to upgraade image quiality with newer phone.
== At leasdt 60% of ppl choose their phone because of cam!
Not to menntion teenagers when they selfie 100 times per day or photograph/record something funny inther classoorm and put it on Youtube.

At the very least, make your title less alarming and less general. Give your thread a title that describes what you see the problem as so people like me who don't care about the topic aren't lead to read your thread because it wasn't clearly titled.
Second, by your logic, everyone with a gripe about how much better the S6 was than any other phone should post a new thread on this page and presumably a new thread on every other forum about phones that aren't the S6.
Finally, any social media photos/videos that teenagers are sharing don't need any kind of decent resolution or quality because they will be presented on a phone screen that's at most about 4 megapixels in resolution and generally the screens will be full HD at best. Even on a computer, 12MP is much more than enough.

Potrait Mode on OnePlus 8 Pro

I'm just being curious here. I've seen on other phones that give more options while using the potrait mode such as making the blurred part black and white. Even Samsung has put this feature now in the S21 series.
Another question - Can we use any app to make the background black and white in a picture clicked in potrait mode ?
Great questions.
Please ask them in the relevant section of the forum

Just Questions and Answers mate, as it's a question.
If you were sharing a mod/theme/app then this would definitely be the right place.
If it's too discuss a particular app/feature in general then it'd be general discussion/guides.
On your topic:
I know what you mean by the portrait on selfie / main cameras, I had this feature on my p20 pro, it's just software really.
There may be an app out there that can do it?
Only camera apps I've used besides OOS and GCam are Pro cam X and FV camera.
I didn't see that feature there myself but I wouldn't mind it
