[REQ] Samsung Galaxy S camera bits...

Not sure if this is even possible but, my wife has just got a Samsung Galaxy S.
Overall the phone is quite nice, but while playing with the camera I came across the panoramic photo setting.
This is simply stunning.... the camera basically takes a series of 8 photographs, BUT this is the part - it tells you were to line the next picture upto, but I mean flawlessly and very quickly.
The stitching of the actual photograph in the end is fantastic.
I'd love this function on the Nexus, if you have played with one you won't grasp how easy and quick this function is. The best I've ever seen.

Did you take the attached panorama? That's amazing!

Yep, taken with the Samsung in about 2 seconds.... bloody brilliant.

You know...for most of the Samsung Galaxy features I say "If you want it...go buy one" However this is something, personally I would love to see. It'd be fantastic to have so this earns my bump of approval.

Any other great features like touch focus and settings like htc desire cam?
If yes I'd rather get this cam instead of desire cam for 2.2

Yes, it has quite a few nice features.
It has a decent selction of scenes.
Backlighting, Black and White...etc.
The macro mode is also very decent.
It has the touch screen focus also, so where ever you touch the screen it focuses on that point.
It has blink detection, but I haven't seen face detection as yet (trying to get it out of my wifes hands! )
I think on reflection I would have this over the Desire one.

Sounds great!! Thanks!

I'd throw down a donation for this...

If the Desire camera could be ported, then maybe this could be done just as well?

I too would be willing to donate to get this!!! Thanks for sharing. Hopefully it can get done!

Guys,
I've been playing with my wife's Galaxy for a while now and it's brilliant.
The camera is stunning, HD video recording is super stunning.
The Music is awesome and with the EQ settings and different 'scene' like live music and concert hall, even 5.1ch!
It's bloody fantastic in some ways, I think I'm going to sell my Nexus and get one!
The stupid part?!? I have a 16Gb unlocked one here on my table that I sold tonight - doh!!!

Just horrible there is no camera flash wtf were they thinking lol.

I know, that's what I keep stumbling on.
Can I live without the camera flash and the trackball notifications?
The Samsung takes VERY good pictures in low light on the correct setting, however you have to keep it still for as the shutter is open a long time in comparison.
The pics I took oon the Nexus with the flash were quite washed out anyway.....Hmmmmmmm, decisions, decisions.

that picture in the OP is amazing.
this feature would be nice if ported to the nexus.

Nice idea! Btw my old htc trinity on winmo 5 had this function, too.
Wow and now I'm dreaming of a "sweep panorama" function of the new sony cams

I want the Panorama-Feature too on the Nexus
By the way: Its not that stunning. Done on Windows Mobile 2 Years before with the same "it tells you were to line the next picture upto, but I mean flawlessly and very quickly."... But its still a nice Feature

[Q] google nexus one vs samsung galaxy s i9000

which is better Google nexus one or Samsung galaxy s i9000 in camera ,display,wifi
,gps,internet browsing and application

cane any one answer me

I personally love my i896, which is similar to the i9000, and from my understanding, aside from a few missing features is almost identical. I could be wrong, but im quite happy with the galaxy series
Sent from my SCH-I800 using XDA App

thanx for answering but i see that google nexus is always superior in quadrant test
does this means that the devis if faster than galaxy in runing applications

You must understand that quadrant is a syntethic benchmark,and the score is not always representing the true potential of the device.
Galaxy s is way more powerful than the nexus one, even if it gets lower score in quadrant.

Another thing to consider is the reliability of each to receiving updates. I'm speaking from personal experience when I say that Samsung does not do a great job with putting out updates quickly. Sometimes months behind others. However Nexus one...I mean....its Google

thank u very much u will save me some money because nesux is more expensive than the galaxy

still weighting for other openions

Camera: Tough, But the Nexus S has a flash, but the i9000 has 720p recording on the stock rom. But I'ma say NS
Display: Hands down i9000
Wifi: Pretty much the same
GPS: N1, The i9000 has had some issues with it
But i'd still say go for the i900, Newer Hardware, faster, and the screen is amazing

thanx for the details

vote for samsung for best quality screen

So i guess samsung i 9000 is winner here:d

is their difernce between nexus one and nexus s

Hey!
Don't they both have the same SAMOLED display?
Or taking into consideration Contour vs Gorilla Glass?
And how is the i9000 newer/faster?
They both have the same innards,plus no TouchWiz lag on the NS

[Q] Nexus or S2 - which is smoother

As this is my first post on this forum I would like to say kindly HELLO to EVERYONE.
I have a big problem in choosing my next smartphone. Currently I'm using Samsung Galaxy S+ (i9001). I tested almost every rom on it, and I'm not satisfied with it's speed...I mean it's laggy and apps open too much time.
So I want to buy either Nexus or S2 but I can't really choose. Like I said the most important thing for me is the smoothness and quick opening aps (calls, sms and so on). I don't play games so I won't benefit from better GPU in S2. I have read many comparisons and ones say that Nexus is smoother than S2 because it's pure AOSP, and other say that slower CPU+GPU in Nexus with HD screen makes it a slower device. Will be S2 really smoother than Nexus when I will put an AOSP rom in it ?
It would be great if someone had both devices and compared them. Comparisons on YT tell me nothing cause those people are comparing those devices on too much differing roms like one on ICS and other on JB.
I am aware of other pros and cons of those two devices. What I am asking for is that which one does have smoother feel and faster opening aps. Well eventually the battery life is what interests me too, cause I have read that Nexus has a weak one.
Sorry for my bad english.

S2 has amazing support of community and it can be very smooth. Actually its smoother then stock S3 with good ROM.
It is also thin and light as feather. I really enjoy in its lightness.
Nexus is one of the phones I would only root, and don't touch anything.
They are actually quite different. Sweet misery. Anyway you can't make a mistake with either one.

Galaxy Nexus is smoother, because it is pure AOSP, like people said. Development is good for both devices, but Nexus has better development mainly because its a Nexus device. You also get official updates faster and will probably get more updates than SII. I would pick Nexus over SII any day. The HD screen doesnt make that much of a difference. Besides, I'd rather have an HD screen with > 300 PPI than a screen with only 217 PPI. Both devices are really good, but that resolution on the SII really irks me.
PS. I agree with the person above. I would probably root it but leave it at that. Pure stock on Nexus really is amazing.

I have to go with Nexus too. I love pure stock. TouchWiz is ok... but when it comes down to it you have to deal with some Samsung crap that you don't want.

Your S+ is laggy because it runs on a Snapdragon CPU instead of Exynos. There's nothing "Plus" about it.
As someone who's owned both the S2 and Galaxy Nexus. I'm assuming by S2 you mean an Exynos-based one like the i9100:
Development (ROMs) - Both. Yes, the Galaxy Nexus is a Nexus device, which means a lot of development. But the S2 i9100 also has a TON of support and development.
Speed - Galaxy S2, for both CPU and GPU, by far.
Camera - Galaxy S2, by FAR. It has an amazing camera. The Galaxy Nexus has a terrible, terrible, TERRIBLE camera, and any GN owner will admit it.
Screen - Galaxy Nexus, if you don't mind pentile. It's 720p vs 800 x 480 in the S2. The S2 isn't pentile though. Honestly, I'd give it to the Galaxy Nexus regardless.
Storage - Galaxy S2; 16/32GB storage + Memory card slot. Galaxy Nexus (GSM) is 16GB, which is really like 12GB usable. No memory card slot.
Notification Light - Galaxy Nexus has an RGB notification light. Galaxy S2 doesn't have a light.
Personally, I'd go with the S2 because I game a lot and need room for my music and files. I only have like 250 songs on my card, but I also use my phone as a camera, so storage and camera quality are very important for me. It's much much much faster for anything beyond day-to-day tasks. The screen resolution isn't bad at all considering the screen is 4.3 inches. I had the Sprint Galaxy Nexus, which was 32GB, so it had a redeeming factor, but I felt like it was hard to downgrade performance coming from the Galaxy S2. The Galaxy Nexus is still a great phone that's still very viable (and still a Nexus, so you get continued support from Google), but between these two phones specifically, I'd go for the S2.

Yeah deff agree with the sucky camera. And the lack of a micro SD slot is ridiculous. But I rarely use either. Honestly it depends on the type of user you are.

Yeah I agree on the last bit. That's the most important thing. If you're the occasional phone photographer and you're not playing the latest games, you can survive on the Nexus (btw GTA 3 and Shadowgun run fine on the Nexus).

N5 or i-9505?

guys nexus 5 or the sgs 4 i9505?
wich camera is better? i know sgs as a 13 one and nexus 5 a 8mp one but dunno

I don't understand why people are asking these questions. The nexus 5 isn't out yet, so how are we supposed to know what the camera's like?

I strongly advise against the S4 GT-I9505. I had one for a few weeks, and on paper, it's great, but in practice, it's not.
Issues for me included:
Knox bootloader, without which, no 4.3+ Stock ROMs
Screen Smearing... can't be fixed, only masked by making black into gray.
Extremely easy to scratch the fake chrome bezel trim
Huge amount of internal memory is consumed by Touchwiz ROM space and cannot be reclaimed from it, even if AOSP/CM is flashed.
Touchwiz drags down the strong hardware. AOSP/CM is missing sources thanks to Samdung's policy to not provide what's necessary to make it work properly.
To me, the best non-Nexus option at this point is the Optimus G Pro, even over the G2 with a semi-locked bootloader, because it has stellar hardware, a great screen, bigger battery, huge internal storage, removable battery, expandable storage.
You can get one online for around $300!

[Q] Camera quality compared to Note 2

Hi Former Note 2 owners!
How would you compare the camera quality to the Note 2. Based on the specs Nexus 5 with OIS should be taking better pics.
What do you think? Do you like it or is it too close to judge? Thanks!

I had an s3. Not sure if that's the same camera as the note 2. I prefer the nexus

I'm going to say the N5 is better. Especially HDR+.

I hate the camera compared to my Galaxy Nexus. The GN took much faster photos, focusing quickly and they were always very crisp.
But that is probably because this phone did not launch with the new camera app (using the new API) that it was supposed to, thanks to last minute bugs.
Once we get this (according to google it will be released shortly), then I'm hoping the photos will be much improved. As it is right now, we are using outdated software.
