i just got htc one xl (international versionfor at&t) and everything is just superb. but wait here is a problem with my phone's camera the image quality is not awesome in low lights its average with some noise at the ends of picture now where is the BSI sensor result??and the major issue is that my phone looses its focus while recording video and when i press centre of phone's screen then it appears ok what the hell is this? is it a software problem or my phone is buggy
There's an international One X forum, go there. Some others may be having the same problem. Honestly, it just sounds like you're expecting too much from the camera in terms of low light. Try messing with exposure? The phone comes over exposed though already.

yes i am expecting too much because htc and gsmarena makes me to expect that too much impressive result by talking about f/2.0 and BSI sensor performance. i also used n8 and that was mind blowing result and camera phone. anyhow what about problem in focus while recording? any one have any idea?
It must be a faulty handset. I've taken shots in almost absolute darkness and still been blown away by the camera's low level light performance. Like someone mentioned it's already oversaturated out the box.

And oversaturation is good for low light pictures right? Sorry, my camera knowledge is slim to none at best.

The only thing can really help the low light photography is a large sensor. You need a sensor the size of APS-C or full frame 35mm to achive that. The pee sized sensor in all phones can never get what you want no matter what technological wonders they have.
Unfortunately, those larger sensor (and the larger lens) is impossible to embed into a phone.
I also have a problem with the camera where the pics are mostly too yellow. Is this a common issue and is there a fix? I can't fine RGB adjustment in the stock camera app. Is there a good 3rd party camera app that has this feature?

It happens when you shoot indoors with incandescent lamps as lighting. You need to manually change the white blance to Incadescent mode in camera settings.
It's a common issue for majority of the cameras out there.

The continuous autofocusing does seem to be quite aggressive, resulting in the phone always searching for something to focus on. This may be what you're experiencing. Try turning off the Face Detection option in the cameras settings. Hopefully that helps!
The low-light performance of this camera is not mind-blowing. The overall image quality and abilities of the camera is, to me, quite spectacular. But take my word, and the word of reviews around the internet, with a grain of salt, as we are all speaking relatively. That is, understand that this is a pretty awesome camera for a camera phone. It's not an 808, n8, n9, nor is it your average point and shoot camera, which will have a large sensor and better image processing. But the HOX is capable of taking photos that compare to those types of devices.

I can't tell you one way or the other. I have not used the S3 or really looked deeply into it's camera. I'm sure this would be something you'd want to look around the web for, to see if any sites have gotten a hold of an S3 to test it out.
Just read that the SGIII has the same camera as the 4S. Take it as you will, but I like that camera. However its the post processing in the software that will produce the end result.

hello XDA-members,
i was searching the XDA-threads and of course google but wasn't able to find an answer to my question:
Is it possible to replace the original camera of the Moto X 2014 with the camere of the Nexus 6?
Both seem to be the same size and the flex cable of both cams look identical to me.
Specs of the Moto X 2014 camera:
- 13MP Sony IMX135 1/3.06-inch CMOS sensor, 4128 x 3096 pixels, autofocus,
- F2.25 aperture
- 31mm equivalent focal length
- Dual-LED (ring) flash
- ISO 50 - 1000
- Geo-tagging, touch focus, face detection, panorama, HDR
- 4K-video
- 2MP front camera (1080p)
Specs of the Nexus 6 camera:
13 MPSony IMX214 (Stacked CMOS; Exmor RS), 4128 x 3096 pixels, autofocus, optical image stabilization,
- F/2.0 aperture
- Dual-LED (ring) flash,
- Geo-tagging, touch focus, face detection, panorama, HDR
- 4K video -> [email protected], optical stabilization,
- 2MP front camera (1080p)
so in conclusion: would be nice to have a little camera upgrade to get optical stabilization etc. on our Moto X 2014 with this little trick...
here are the links to Etradesupply, where you can get a look how the cameras look like in detail:
Nexus 6 : http://www.etradesupply.com/motorola-nexus-6-rear-facing-camera.html
Moto X 2014: http://www.etradesupply.com/motorola-moto-x-xt1092-xt1095-xt1096-xt1097-rear-facing-camera.html
If sombody has already made some experience in replacing / changing the cameras, would it be nice if he/she would share his/her experience..
All opinions are welcome!
If they use the same connection, I don't see why it wouldn't work. Only issue I could foresee is a potential driver issue. Are the dimensions the same to fit in the phone casing?

Quite different connectors.
Even if they was the same the drivers for sure will be very different, but the main problem is at the connector.
My job for living is to repair mobile devices and i ve seen both cameras and they are far from be the same.
The only thing that is the same is the main placeholder that meke them look the same.
I have a moto x2 and i think the same way when i first bought it but i end up on the wall when digg a little ?
Sad to hear, but not surprising. Thanks for your input.
Hi guys,
The camera of my S7 works perfect and the photos are great, but I was just a little bit curious with it having less MP than the S6... So I googled a bit and came across this camera super pixel app in AC and decided to try it. And wow!!! It works! It definitely works! The interface is rather simple and the whole thing is in beta, but holy crap I really took detailed 48 MP photos!!
Have you tried it??
It's most likely a placebo effect. A 12MP sensor cannot takes photos of a higher resolution.

Even I don't think mobile phone cameras can do this: there are cameras that are able to do this!
Cameras with in body stabilization can move the sensor four times one pixel to create a bigger resolution picture.. I think Olympus has a 16 mp camera sensor that's able to create a 40mp pictures. Other cameras use this technology to create pictures with more detail I think Pentax has this.
Send with my Xperia Z3 Compact
Yes but it's not the case with mobile phones.
To achieve more MP there has to be some interpolation, 'invented' pixels. Besides, 12mp is more then enough.
Hi all, I'm one of the developers of the app.
We have been working on this app for 2 years. "Camera Super Pixel" is implementing a super-resolution algorithm: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super-resolution_imaging
The camera takes a burst of 8 photos (which are aligned with sub-pixel accuracy) and reconstructs an image with 4X pixels . To work well it needs a static scene.
We are now on beta phase and we hope to improve more the quality & speed of the app.
If you have any question please ask me. Thanks for all the feedback!

Although I understand the hate after the lame stock cam app in my S4, the stock one in S7 is really great.
- Nice and ergonomic UI
- Not too much lame mode, you can hide then, and even add some more for free
- No shutter sounds when phone is muted
- can store in SD card
- can shoot selfie with heart rate sensor
- can register RAW file in pro mode (DNG format)
- HDR in video ! when at or below FHD 30FPS
and so on...
I still like having the nexus app, but mostly for photosphere...
About the super camera app this thread is about ill give it a try, but for me, the 12Mp are already really impressive for a smartphone. the 48Mpx would be no use for me, as if I want better photo, I already have a high end DSLR.
Apart from the frustrating fact that you can't record video and that the ultra-wide lens isn't very wide, the colors and seem to be extremely off in the comparisons I've seen to the point that I don't know if it's solvable through a software update. Maybe fixing the distortion and the super low saturation through software will somewhat save it, I don't know. Heck, even Mi 9 has a clearly superior ultra-wide WITH recording. What do you think? Does anyone that has the phone have a different experience? I want to buy this phone, but at this point in my country it's about the same price as a S10+ (Exynos) and I'm struggling to make a decision.
I wish GCam mods come early to save this mess.

I cannot answer specifically to the 7 Pro, but I can tell you that the colour science is off on my now-sold Galaxy S10 Plus Exynos version. Switching between the main lens and the wide angle lens in the same exact lighting and spot yields different colour reproduction. It might be down to the actual lens used in junction with the software, but I can safety say that this problem isn't exclusive to the 7 Pro if anything.
Also, don't buy the Exynos version of the S10. It has garbage battery life, and has different camera lenses to the SD version that have shown to be inferior to the SD version.
There is a setting in the camera called "Ultra Wide Lens Correction." I wonder if testers are switching this setting to see if this is the issue. I just got mine, but it's night time right now so I will need some time to test (but I only have the LG G7 ThinQ to compare to.)

Yes, but at least every other wide angle camera in the market gives decent results. 7 Pro's results are very undersaturated, very soft and sometimes seem like out of focus.
I know about the S10+. If it was a Snapdragon version I would have already bought it.

Great! Post some samples when you can. I'm not that worried about the lens correction, I don't mind the distortion. My problem is mainly the saturation and softness of detail. If you can, post original results + "corrected" versions using Snapseed/Photoshop to check if some post-processing saves the day at least. Thank you in advance!

It really depends. It might not be fixable with gcam.
The main camera uses a pretty good sensor. But it is a different sensor for the wide angle lens. So the quality of the wide angle shots will heavily depend on the quality of the sensor they use for their wide angle lens. It might be a weak sensor, we don't know right now. Huawei uses 4 Sony sensors for example, their wide angle pictures are pretty good. And yes, the best hardware is useless without a good software. But the best software also can't fix a bad sensor.
Not saying that it is a bad sensor, it's just that we don't know by now. We might have to wait for a teardown and some talented devs to see what is inside and if it is fixable.
I can only link you the specs from dxomark:
Primary: 48Mp Sony IMX586 sensor (12Mp output size), 26mm-equivalent lens with f/1.6 aperture and OIS
Ultra-wide: 16Mp sensor, 17mm-equivalent lens with f/2.2 aperture
Telephoto: 8Mp sensor, 78mm-equivalent lens with f/2.4 aperture and OIS
Good morning! I bought a Google pixel 7 pro and while using the camera I see that I have the cameras in the back of the phone but when I take pictures I only get 12.5 megapixels instead of 50 megapixels. Could someone help me with this issue please. Thank you!
It's not issue. That's how it works.
But should it have 50 megapixels as it says in the specifications?

No. 12.5MP is what it takes.
What is pixel binning, and what does it mean for your mobile photography?
AKA four teeny tiny pixels are pushed together to create a slightly larger teeny tiny pixel.

No, no it doesnt, nowhere do Google say you get 50MP images or do they say it is a 50MP sensor (even though it is but pixel binned 50/4= 12.5), they rather confusingly say it has a 50MP wide lens which means bugger all, they might as well have said it has a frog for a lens because a lens certainly doesn't have a resolution.

S23 ultra 200mp sensor defaults to 12.5mp by pixel binning 16 of the smallest pixels known to man in to 1 (although you do get the option to take 200mp whoppers)

It's not an "ISSUE". lol
It's called "Pixel binning". Literally, the majority of the OEMs do it nowadays, not only Google.
What is pixel binning? Everything to know about this photographic technique
Pixel binning has been a fixture in smartphone photography for years now, but what is it and why is it so important? Find out here.

If 50, 100, 200 MP take "the best pictures", then how come 5,000 dollar and more D-SLR's pretty much
top out at 46 megapixels?
My d-slr "only" has 24 MP, but it takes photos better than any phone.
In most cases, where "more is better" comes into play is when you take a photo, save it, then zoom in.
You will retain a better photo per se, with more megapixels.
It's not the number of pixels, so to speak, as it is the SIZES of each sensor.
Also, the lens on the front has A LOT to do with it.

Read first the article that been quoted to you, so you understand the concept and how our smartphone camera works (inc one from other brands). Else, you might sound like a troll.
It is all marketing, Samsung would be better off using 12.5 million bigger pixels rather than 200 million tiny ones and then combining them with binning but 200 is a bigger number so it has to be better in most peoples minds.

Can you explain why you want 100 or 200 megapixels?
Bigger is better? No, not at all and given the right conditions the p7p creates outstanding images. You make them, Google creates them using there software and ai wiz.
What bothers me though is that also raw is binned 4x and therefore pretty pointless. From what I've seen there's not enough raw data in the image to make for excellent personal post-processing. But then again, the involved hardware is not extra special or anything so by a proper camera if you want the hassle of carrying a big bag with stuff.
Here's some testing results.
