As on the specs site of google there is written, that the N1 can catch D1 video (720x480) with fps20 and more (dependig on lighting conditions), i wonder if we could make a thread where we can collect short video samples in order to judge the quality of recording and to find out in which conditions we will get best results?
Unfortunately I don't have a Nexus One yet, so it's your turn meanwhile.
This is for anyone looking to get the Note 4 and wanted a sample of the Video quality. The video is done though the Note 4, and nothing was modified or changed in anyway.
You can also get a few photo samples here: Samsung Galaxy Note 4 Camera Samples So far the phones camera is awesome in my option.

If you have problems with viewing in 4k, select 2k (2160). If problems still exist, go to 1080p, and you will still get a good idea of what it will look like, because of this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kIf9h2Gkm_U

Someone recently stated that it still looks better than 1080 on a monitor thats only 1080. This explained it well and kinda answered an question i had about that.
Bump for newcomers.
I didn't see any in depth camera review of s3 neo in youtube,but I've checked some of video sample where I noticed some pixelaration while moving the camera.But when I searched for original s3 samples it seems to be pretty ok.So pls tell whether there is any change in camera clarity in neo coz apart from certain HW changes,these 2 handset are almost similar in look and specs.

Searched for hours for any in-depth info about camera (sensor type & size, pixel size, iso values...), but couldn't find anything beside f-stop (f/2.6) and focal length (3.7mm). Those two values are the same as on Galaxy S3( check on devicespecifications . com).
I guess I'll have to try getting info from local Samsung customer support via live chat, and I recommend you to try that too.
Can you please post links to aforementioned videos here?
Hey,thanx for ur rply. Link for the s3 neo sample: { well xda says I can't post outside links upto 10 posts, U just googleit with search term "s3 neo camera sample" and U''ll get one with 0:50 length shot infrnt of a sea and pebbles arround there post by some Arindo Vlore}
also see the comment section there. Overal the video looks good( natural colors & all that) but U can see those annoying blocks dat makes it dirty.I don't think galaxy s3 has any such camera issue.
Hi all,
I posted this on reddit but wanted to post it here as well to see if anyone could help/replicate.
Before I start, I just want to say that I'm not using the sRGB mode. I'm using the regular more saturated settings.
I noticed on Saturday that after recording and playing back a test video I shot, the colors looked very washed out compared to how the viewfinder looked during recording.
Today, I was streaming youtube, and also noticed a similar trend. The colors looked very washed out and lacked contrast. It almost feels like there's a film overlaying the video. This is ONLY during video playback. Whenever I just scroll through apps, or view pictures the screen looks great.

Above is an album with pictures I took of my Note 4's and 6P's screen when viewing the same content. I tried to match the brightness as best as possible. Also, resolution was the same for videos on both screens. The first picture is the most apparent. I was watching John Oliver's latest episode and the top is the 6P where it looks completely washed out. The second picture is showing that when just viewing the homescreen, they look very similar and the colors pop on the 6P just like on the Note 4.
If anyone can please try to replicate this, I would really appreciate it. If this is just how the 6P plays videos, then I will deal with it. But if this is not normal I will try to RMA as videos really don't look that great.
TL;DR: Colors look great when viewing anything but videos. When viewing videos colors look very washed out. Album compares 6P and Note 4.
Bump
I tried this on my Nexus 7 2013 and it also looked a bit washed out. This could be a software thing. However, would someone please try to replicate this? I really want to make sure it's not just my device. Thanks!

Big thread on reddit about this, which points to this bug (which was closed) and referred to this Nexus forum thread (no Google response yet).
Someone found this commit, which looks highly suspicious:
https://android.googlesource.com/kernel/msm/+/android-msm-angler-3.10-marshmallow-dr^!/
Going to ask in the original development forum if someone can build w/that commit reverted to see if the problem persists.
I've got this issue also !! Thought I was going crazy had the 6p a week or so and I'm sure it wasn't happening when I first used it. Only when playing YouTube videos the colours look watched out more noticeable on black's that look light black for want of a better description. When looking at apps (sky news etc) the black's are very black but not in YouTube vids. I've got a nesus 6 played the statwars trailer side by side against the 6p and you can really tell theres an issue. Gonna hit Google with this will call them tommorow and post back. Fault with the handset might swap my 6p for another see if its still the same .

It's a software problem, please +1 the forum post here:

Same issue
Same issue here! Compared it side by on my previous Samsung S6 each watching the same YouTube video. Saw that the Nexus 6 P's video was washed out, especially the blacks looked more gray. Looks like there is an Instagram filter on the video of the 6p.
Same issue here. Google has acknowledged it and has a team on it. The speculation is it is a video colour space bug that was introduced in one of the early updates put out.

This affects a bunch of devices, including the Nexus 5X and Nexus Player. I made a thread in the Nexus 5X forum with a bunch of relevant links.

The commit is LITERALLY linked in the forum thread. It's asinine that it is taking this long for Google to do a git revert. I hope it's rolled into the next monthly security latches. But I'm not getting my hopes up. I took things into my own hands and flashed a kernel with that commit reverted.
Anyone check to see if 6.0.1 fixes this? I know Google acknowledged the issue about a week ago and said a fix would be in a future maintenance release. Wondering if it made it into 6.0.1. Probably not, but one can hope.

I think someone reported on the Nexus forum thread that 6.0.1 does fix it. I returned my 6P so I can't confirm.

It's fixed in 6.0.1
It's fixed in 6.0.1, lot of users are reporting it on reddit.

Yep, seems fixed on my 5X as well.
nevermind I had sRGB on turned off all is well
When I first picked up my Galaxy s7 Edge on Sprint, I wrote a post about poor quality, lack of stability, and a lot of people told me I was imagining it, or put it down to YouTube. Now watch this...
https://youtu.be/gF_PRYBFS84
That is a video I took in FHD60 (i.e. 1080p and 60 frames per second) - skip forward to 8 seconds. Unacceptable isn't the word. I should add, most of the time it's not as bad as this - usually just a really jarring stutter, but it's done this a few times,
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PnRAHEE-nB4
This one is 4K. Not as bad on the face of it, but the weird motion blurring and blockiness present is ...well, it doesn't feel very 4K. I also experience some skips/frame drops when filming in this mode.
I took approx 130 10-30 second videos over the weekend and skipping is present in most of them. I've even got to the point where I try and film everything twice (panning across a landscape) so i can hopefully minimize the likelihood of skipping.
This is my second S7 edge, after the first one developed a dead pixel within the first 2 weeks. I've updated the firmware to G935PVPU2APD3.
From what I've read online in forums, one user claimed that on a live chat , Samsung are refusing to admit it publicly, but there is nothing they can do to improve it. I believe this is a problem mainly with the US Snapdragon 820 chip - but I dunno, it could be an issue with the International version too - either way, I'm not happy but it looks like we have to put up with it.

Hi Dave,
I have the Snapdragon 820 processor and camera is SONY_IMX260
I've seen pieces online that say the Snapdragon fares worse than the Exynos in terms of performance, so it could be only really noticeable on those phones
Indeed, am no pro snapper so I cannot comment.
But the picture quality has been perfect on my device.
Am going to try this recording on the way home in the car now though (something i have yet to do)
I'll upload to YouTube for you to view if you like.
Any specific settings you used?

It happens with FHD60 most commonly. Panning the camera makes it most notable... that's pretty much it!
Just a question.. you are recording internally or on sdcard?
I don't think there's any way that is a hardware issue. Seems like something is going way wrong with the video recording on the software level - I'd be money it is digital stabilization going haywire. Was that turned off? If so, maybe it's broken.
