The s4 has been ranked second after the untouchable Nokia 808. http://bgr.com/2013/05/24/galaxy-s4-camera-test-iphone-5/ funny enough the over hyped HTC one is no where to be found.
I think our dear phone has been proven to be worth the money once again.

well it doesn't suprise me since it's 13mp vs 8mp it even does beat xperia Z's 13mp and htc even super duper ultra won't help it
I think DXO hasn't tested HTC One yet..but I seriously doubt it will score anything higher than 70.

Read your post twice. Still desperately trying to find a sense in it that would justify opening yet another camera thread. Camera still superb at good conditions. And really crap at lowlight and fast moving objects. Shutter speed is pathetic. ONEs video/sound recording also way better. And I tested both for weeks. But wait: that's been basically said on every second page here.

I hate the way reviewers just say Galaxy S4......WHICH VERSION????
They are both very very different!
I think Samsung could do better camera. In low light conditions it is crap, shutter speed is still very low and on 1080p videos you've got tearing smearing with picture zoomed in.
You know, low-light (especially with motion) is the weak-spot of the GS4 camera but we have plenty of examples of high shutter speed images in the various camera threads.
Captures of hose water, kids jumping and so on are "frozen" as long as it's medium light or above.

My low light experience with the S4 is superb. It's able to capture, in night mode, even pictures made in a dark room.
Anyway, use the flash if you in a dark place
I would agree, the s4 really has got itself a very good camera. Im an outgoing person and I take most of my photos in high or medium lights. Its very seldom that I would take pictures of something or someone in low lights. I would use a flash if i really want to capture them with as much detail as possible.
Heres my very first shot of my s4 after i got it out of the box. It was very cloudy thst day. I cropped the fountain area only.

All cameras are useless in low light unless you can control the shutter speed and keep the camera stable. Even high end Cannon or Nikon cameras need a good flash or a tripod to get good results in those kinds of conditions. If you have unwanted motion in the framing then it's game over. At the end of the day, if you can't get light through the lens and onto the sensor, you can't expect to get good pictures. There are dirty tricks that can are employed, such as a high ISO speed, merging images, or a large low res sensor, but at the end of the day you're still making sacrifices with the image.
This low light camera business has become a proper skit for selling smart phones.

Hello, i would like to buy HTC Sensation. I want great quality of camera.
I saw many patches, drivers and modded camera. They improve compression to zero. Is the picture quality really improved?
Can i ask for some pictures with a modifications?
Thank you very much.
I'm hoping for some positive replies to this, the camera on my XE is a big disappointment.
Bro..in my opinion...our smartphone is really smart for manyyyyy things...but unfortunately still not smart enough to replace real camera. I have sensation amaze camera mod in my ROM..but DO NOT expect Magic . it gives ok picture in good light and everything. Android is something else..this is my first one and i am in crazy love with it..all modifications..tuning..but if a great camera is what u desire... I don't think it has much to offer..
Pls can you upload some pictures in a full resolution? Thx

These were taken with the Stock sensation's camera. IMO its pretty badass.

In my opinion, the close up shots are reasonable but those taken at a distance are very poor. At least that's the case with my XE. Here are some examples below.
Full res, cropped. This is a pic of my fireplace, no more than 8 feet away.
This is a close up pic, full res but cropped. It shows good detail.
This is a pic taken with my previous phone, a HTC Incredible S. In my opinion, the camera on that phone was far superior to the one on my XE. (Full res, cropped).
I agree with UKseagull, close up and bright light settings are pretty good, but low light and distance ones are pretty bad. i use stock camera. the biggest drawback is low light settings id say. but at least its pretty fast at taking the picture when u press the capture button on the screen
I am quite fond of the camera... It provides poor photos indoors though, outdoors it is far superior.
http://flic.kr/p/aCoxnU Here is the link to my flickr, quite a nice photo imo off the stock camera I believe.
These photos are taken with a modded camera?
The posters say they are taken with a stock (unmodded/default) camera. Note that the quality of the picture will also depend on the circumstances (close up/distant, dim/bright lighting, etc.) and relative skill of the user.

Originally when I bought my sensation I hoped it will have better camera but my first impression was the camera is crap despit the fact it 8 megapixel.
I have used HTC wildfire s and u won't believe it the camera on HTC wildfire s is better than sensation and I'm talking about is sharpness its colours and the quality and I noticed that sensation camera picks red as pink or some what light red also the sharpness on sensation is very bad even my hd2 had better sharpness and colors but not the quality also my cousin iPhone 4 camera which is 5 megapixel is better than sensation in dark iPhone is still much clearer then sensation but I guess you can't have the best thing in life

The reason why pictures appear worse than they should is the amount of compression HTC has implemented. It really deteriorates the quality.
I've just taken some pics using manual ISO settings and no flash, as a comparison. This is with the standard XE camera.
Shery4life the camera on the wildfire s is not better by anymeans my co worker has that phone and we both know that phone camera not that great. She always want me to use my camera when we take pictures. When I work with her again I'll take a picuture with my sensation and her wildfire s lol not even comparable lol.

OK folks, move along, nothing to see here. I hate it when people cover up their retarded mistakes, so I will leave mine out here for any interested parties to see.
Has no one else noticed, or is it just not a big deal to anyone? The Sense camera only takes 3264 x 1840 images! That is at the "8MP" setting!! A simple plug-n-chug in a calculator nets you 6,005,760 pixels, or 6MP, not 8.
A quick check in CameraZoomFX shows images being taken at 3264 x 2448, a much more honest 7.99MP (Which I will call 8 ). Does this not upset anyone?? That rapid-fire shutter was one of the camera's biggest selling points for me, but I don't want to take pictures that are pre-cropped!

if you explore further, turn off widescreen under camera options and you get the same 3264x2448. camerafx doesn't do widescreen photos as far as I know.
Or what the guy above me just said
Is your camera set to widescreen?

Thanks guys. I would tell you how long I looked for that setting... But you might think me even dumber.
So why does it default to wide screen? That seems weird. I didn't realize that I was only taking 6 MP shots til now.
Sent from my HTC One X using XDA
I knew about this...I personally like widescreen. It wouldn't be so bad if they didn't blatantly lie to us by saying that the widescreen setting is 8mp.
Has anyone compared the two settings and notices a difference in image quality? this def explains the smaller picture files thought. I never 'really' thought about it until now.
they need to remove the 8m next to the resolution. thats bull
Sample Pics - Low Light
Real quick comparison showing the differences between the "Widescreen (Fake 8 MP)" mode vs "Normal (Real 8 MP)" mode.
Only editing done to the images is a crop overlay.
Shots taken in my living room that is mostly dark with one lamp bouncing light off the wall. Also manually set the ISO to 200 & 400 for comparison (auto ISO is setting crazy high values and degrading the photos immensely).

No they don't. As your lighting conditions diminish the photo quality degrades and its very noticeable, especially in auto-everything mode.

HTC is probably deliberately setting the ISO high on auto and trying to use the LED flash when ISO cannot get sharp 4 fps capture, I'm guessing their logic is that a noisy photo is better than a blurry mess, seeing as how most people will only use it for uploading to Facebook, they won't be able to tell the difference once FB's compression mangles it anyways.
I didn't find it for a while either... Just a crop, kinda annoying actually. It's awesome to shoot with the screen full, but you're just throwing away pixels.
Off topic a little, but still camera related. Has anyone noticed that if you set you screen brightness to low, open up your camera, take a pic, hit your home button and the darn screen is all jacked up to the brightest level. Is it my phone, a setting or normal?

I agree with the poster, ive had many phones and by far the note 3 has the worst photo quality ever, im really dissapointed for a ~750 euro device to have such a bad camera. 13MP looks nice in the specs but numbers is not everything.
To me it looks like there is some kind compression on the image, maybe the firmware has some kind of compression method to keep the camera up to speed for zero shutter lag.
Hope samsung will look into this and give us an update in the camera firmware.

What do you expect? The camera has a 1/3" sensor, a FX SLR has ~28 times the sensor area. This means that you would need 28 times the light (or time) to shoot a photo with same quality.
This is not possible because in the conditions where your photo was shot you would need a tripod and long exposure (which is not useable on moving objects) to make a photo which has comparable quality like an outdoor picture!
Anyhow, I have the N3 for one day now and I am happy with it so far, especially with the better camera!

Well it does have to do with the megapixels because the more you have the less the typical blur will be visibly apparent as a result of movement, which seems to be the case here, whether that be movement by you or the subject.

Until manufacturers either quit trying to outdo each other with more megapixels on the same size sensor, lower the megapixels on the same size sensor (like HTC did with the One), or increase the sensor size (such as Apple just did with the 5s), low light photos are going to have more and more noise. The smaller the pixel, the less light it captures, which results in worse low light performance.
Here is the metadata for anyone interested .. It seems like the camera shot the picture in night mode

I feel like the overall speed has increased, but the focus is terrible. Under slightly low light situations, the camera just doesn't feel like focusing properly. Also there are a lot of noise in the photos taken. Also auto-flash isn't working properly. There are situations where you would have expected flash to kick on but it doesn't; leading to horribly dark photos.
My Note 2 had a much better camera...

I assure you, it's not user error. I'm taking pictures exactly like how I took them when I had a Nexus S, Galaxy S3, Galaxy Note 2.
When I take test pictures in my room when it's a bit dark, the camera focus just doesn't work and keeps returning RED focus circle.
My other problem is the auto flash. Trying to take pictures of a piece of paper with writing on it in the dark, the camera won't utilize flash; hence it doesn't focus because it just looks dim and the flash support light doesn't light up the text so camera doesn't know to focus on the text. Manually turning on flash makes it somewhat better.
When in optimal lighting situations, the camera works fine. Issues are with auto focus/flash in dim/dark situations
--------- ACTUALLY I think I found my issue.
It's my case. Spigen Slim Armor. The camera area protrudes and I guess it affects light sensors, thus messing with the focus. I took my case off and was able to have it work appropriately.
Dear Xiaomi Mi Note 3 owners I would like to get the model as everything sounds very appealing, especially battery life, speed.
I am currently a Google Pixel XL (1st gen) owner, I would be tempted to switch to the Mi Note 3.
From your experience so far with the device, can you please provide me some details/opinions about the camera quality?
I would like to know how it behaves in real life scenarios:
- daylight / low light;
- moving subjects/ focus speeds/ blurring moving targets faces, for i.e. children;
- aggresive noise reduction?
- video recording quality.
And last thing how does it compare to the Pixel Camera ,since DXO Mark gave them same score (I know that 90 was achieved due to portrait mode capabilities and bla bla)? Is this change worthy in your opinion?
I appreciate your participation to the thread!
The quality of the photos was what really impressed me, I'll attach some.
Focus speed it's pretty good; about moving subjects, I didn't test yet.
I did like 2 or 3 videos and the stabilization is pretty good as well, even the sound captured.
Battery lasts easy for 2 days, and I have always the wifi or network data On + BT.

É uma máquina top!
camera superb..rear or front,feel like using flagship phone..good product from xiaomi..
MIUI camera app is known for bad lowlight photos and in some cases that is the situation on this phone too. You can have a look here >>> https://flic.kr/s/aHskrQ7jJp
I can not say how much better pictures are when you use ported google camera since i didnt root my phone so i cant use it.

The quality of the photos was what really impressed me, I'll attach some.
Focus speed it's pretty good; about moving subjects, I didn't test yet.
I did like 2 or 3 videos and the stabilization is pretty good as well, even the sound captured.
Battery lasts easy for 2 days, and I have always the wifi or network data On + BT.

I have it for about 5 days so i haven't big experience but as i have used it the battery is so good.
I started playing psp games(using bluetooth gamepad attached + wifi) from 11:15 to 3:00 and the battery drained from 100% to ~45%.
It was good if you imagine that i had wifi + bluetooth + psp emulator in working continuously

Today I had 7.30h screen time and lasted 2days, with wifi/network on and the most used app was Facebook(the big battery drainer).
Camera quality on MIUI camera app is close to ported Google Camera, but can't beat its HDR+ (enhanced) results. However, it's done in a much faster speed (MIUI vs HDR+ vs HDR+ enhanced = instant vs 1 second vs 5 seconds). With HDR+ turned off, the quality is more or less the same.
Battery life is very good if not amazing.

Great dude .. I will try to buy Note 3 128 version soon. You know the issue that there is no a separate fourm to support this device as well as no developers, and the only custom ROM available is https://download.mokeedev.com/?device=jason.
Thanks.

I'm sure there will be a separate thread soon.
Yea I know, thanks anyways.
mi note 3 camera is better than s7 or g6?
On pair if not better. But i would say it can compete with best. Only drawback is night photos but i heard it got fixed in latest china roms.
Here is my flicker account and you can see for yourself >>>> https://flic.kr/s/aHskrQ7jJp

What about moving targets, children for example? Does it compare to pixel in this matter?
If it is day it is fine but in the night it struggle. I usually take a lot of pics while i walk my dog and i didnt notices during the day that they are blurred.
Put 1 just for example.

What exactly happens in low light? It struggles focusing moving targets, focus becomes much slower, or overall picture quality degrades, like noisy textures, bad color reproduction?
