Please post your comparisons here. I was just at my local store and they got the S7 Edge. I compared it with my S6 Edge and was rather disappointed! The Samsung guy in the store said it was something wrong with the unit I tested, but I'm not convinced. Will post larger pictures when I get home.

Here's another:
S6 Edge:
S7 Edge:
This is natural. S6 edge has a 16 Mpix sensor, while S7/S7 Edge have 12Mpix sensor.
In good lighting, at 1:1 maximum zoom level, the 16Mpix sensor on s6 will give you more detail.
However, as light goes down, so does real useful resolution.
At less than optimal lighting, the situation will reverse and S7 will edge out S6 in resolution, dynamic range, noise and colour fidelity.
At which point in global illumination (lux) and which point in camera sensitivity (ISO) this happens, remains to be seen.
My guess is that at ISO 1250 and beyond S7 will prove to be superior (with no flash in use, of course).
Here's another one.
Samsung Norway claims it will be fixed before launch. Let's hope it's true! On this one you can see the S7 Edge did something funky with the colors as well (yellow sticker).
You know I feel that comparing photos while can show a flaw in one camera over the other it is not a good way to evaluate if a newer camera is not as good as the older version. I'm sure the camera for the S7 will just as good as the S6. Samsung proved last year with the S6 how serious they were about cell phone cameras. I just think the S7 edge offers a lot of other great changes over last year's S6.
I agree, the phone itself will be far better in many ways, that's no doubt.
I got an S7 I can do some testing with, how to you suggest I should test them to see a good comparison?
Even if we set aside the fact it's faster, I've no doubt that the camera in the S7 will be superior to the S6 in the vast majority of circumstances. And that is the bottom line for me.
I think we should wait until they are released with a consumer firmware installed. The S6 camera have also been improved a little since release.

Hi,
Have you taken pictures with another camera app than stock?
Camera MX (free on the store)

Stock camera
Seems the quality of the pics taken by the stock app is not as good as the other.
I've found that in the market they all have their pros and cons and that the differences are variable depending upon the circumstance, but the camera certainly isn't the feature to be bragged about on this phone. I've found that one of the ports of the Nexus 4 camera produces the best results most consistantly on my handset. I've also often wondered if my handset got the short end of the stick with the camera it has since a lot of other people are happy with the quality they get out of their RAZR HD, though I'm coming from a Galaxy S 2 which takes wonderful shots in comparison to some of the phones out now despite it now being an old phone model. Its the one thing I really miss about the S2.
On a tangent, I played around with a Galaxy S 4 today and did a bit of camera testing. Single shot stuff. I didn't find that it was all that much better than the S3 or S2 for taking single snapshots. The anti-shake setting worked but not quite as well as on the previous devices, for example. That was really all I could test though, since they always have great lighting when you're looking at phones. Quality is quality, but I'm not convinced 13 megapixels is better than 8 the way Samsung implemented 8 on the previous devices. To be fair though, I had it at 9.5 megapixels. 13 restricts you to a 4:3 shot.
I'll have to try out Camera MX now
thanks for the heads up, just tested it out and it does seem a little sharper, plus the FX options are pretty cool too

Are there any "hacks" for the stock cam in the build prop or media xml where one might tune a little parameters of e.g. jpg quality?

Hey all
Lets take a first look at the Galaxy Note Edge. With Samsung showing off its curved displays recently, they've now applied it to a Smartphone. It's a very interesting concept, the right edge of the screen wraps around the device, giving an extra strip of screen along the edge. This can be used for a multitude of things, from Email/SMS notifications to multimedia control and some application shortcuts. Samsung is also releasing a SDK for developers, this could prove to be a very sensible move, as at present 3rd party apps will not be able to make use of the extra screen real estate. Really looking forward to what our great developers can do with this:good::highfive:
The screen is the Note Edge's stand-out feature, as under the hood is essentially a Galaxy Note 4 with a slightly reduced battery capacity (3,000 mAh rather than 3,220 mAh) due to the screen restricting space. The display itself is a 1,600 x 2,560 pixels, 524ppi affair, so puts it right up with the best displays available at present. A breakdown of specifications for both devices can be found in the [SPECS]Galaxy Note Edge and [SPECS]Galaxy Note 4 threads.
I'm very keen to get hands on with this device, the curved display really appeals. We're yet to see if it will be taken up by app developers, but if it does it could prove to be a killer feature. For some, especially if left handed, the experience may not be a great one, as the strip will be on the wrong side of the device. Samsung has addressed this by hinting it may allow the screen orientation to be flipped, so as long as the home button being at the top is workable, the problem should be solved to an extent. Looking forward to members thoughts on this possible ground breaking design:good:

So ive seen a recent video on youtube by TechlineHD about his comparison with the best chinese smartphone cameras and it turns out OP2 reigns at top. How do you think OP2 will fair with the likes of the latest flagships such as the note 5, G4(V10), Iphone 6s, Moto X pure, Droid turbo 2 etc?
Anyone can give their opinions, especially about the details, contrast, dynamic range etc?
Planning to get a replacement for my un-unlockable bootloader G4.
Oneplus camera images are always more into a "raw" yet "potential" side.
The post processing is never that much that it will leave the picture too "dull" for some people at the beginning,
but if you know how to tweak it later, it leave so much room for you to play

How would you say the overall potentialities of the OP2 as compared the LG G4 or Galaxy S6? I kinda have the G4, S6, and Op2 at the moment and I'm thinking of selling 2 of the devices lol.

From what I've seen on videos the s6 has a better camera but for the price it's a really good buy

G4 has a decent cam, but the screen color is deceiving. The photo will suddenly looks dull on other phone display, since G4 screen saturation is crazy high
all phones you have can produce an amazing picture, it depends how you use it and set it up
Hey all!
So my sister has had get S5 for a while now, she likes the phone immensely. However she's pointed out an issue which I haven't come accross before. Over the last year and a bit, her camera quality has gotten awful. When she first got the phone, it was taking good quality, in focus pictures. Now, although they aren't blurry, they're somewhat not focused and grainy - as if she was taking a photo with the S1 for example.
See below photos for reference. If it's the lens that's dirty - I'll simply replace it. Not sure if it's firmware or not. I also found it incredibly difficult to focus whilst takin the first photo.
Thanks!

My camera covering glass is differrent from that of yours
you have already the answer in your last picture , the glass of the camera is full of dust thats the reason look for a tutorial on how to clean it or take it to an expert to do it for you
I'm starting this to get your thoughts on the different camera sensors in the S8 and S8+. As you probably know this is a trend with Samsung since the s6. This year, the S8 uses either a sony imx 333 or a samsung isocell. Last year the sony sensor proved to be a bit better than the isocell counterpart and 2 years ago this was a real issue with isocell users getting a lot less quality from their photos compared with those lucky ones that got the sony sensors.
My simple s8 has an isocell.

Took some photos and it looks fine at first glance. I'm curios how many of you got the sony sensors and how many the isocells.

S8 Tmo variant.
Kinda disappointed with the quality so far though, coming from a Nexus 6p. Hopefully Chromloop will make Camera NX available for the s8 soon so we can have that good Google Auto HDR+ with Zero Shutter Lag...
Which is better ?
I have the Sony in my S8+ ATT variant. Quite happy with the camera.
