do you guys think the camera quality will be improved in a future software update ? kitkat perhaps ? they did it with the nexus 5
I think they will definitely fix it by the January update but I wouldn't expect more than what they did for the Moto X.
I'm guessing unlikely. Unlike the Moto G, those other phones got fixes because they were premium devices and have capable hardware, which caused turmoil among their user base pre-fix.
Mostly no one expects a budget phone such as the Moto G to do better than it already does.
Unlikely...it's just the way it is

Meanwhile you can try alternative camera apps like VSCO or Focal (CynogenMod Camera App) - with a bit of patience I can produce good not oof pictures.

Is it really that bad? How's the shutter speed?

The shutter speed is good, but the quality of the photos is not very good in dim lighting. Sometimes it is necessary to take more than one shot to get a satisfactory result.
I think it's just a poor camera to be honest, remember how little this thing costs

Yep this is what I suspect.
I don't think it'll be software especially after the Moto X.

Maybe someone else can shine some light for the curious?
Yep, the same here. Can't wait for my order to arrive...
Bought the Moto G for £99 here in the UK and was a choice between the Sony Xperia L for a similar discounted price and the camera on the Moto G is worse than my HTC Desire from several years ago! I'm still within the 28 returns period so could possibly buy the Sony to test at home too but even with the new camera update, pictures have so much noise I have actually checked the glass covering the lens several times for any plastic etc they might have left on it for packaging. Apart from the camera the Moto G feels like a £300+ phone but I think the Sony Xperia L which has 8MP Camera as well as MicroSD slot etc might be the better phone for the same money.

You can find a pretty good review here.
I think that the camera quality is almost the same regarding the back camera.
Personally I suggest you to offer the Nexus 5:
• Android updates
• Light
• Cheap
• Smooth (I hate TouchWiz!)
The battery life isn't the same... however I have good results with my N5 thanks to our XDA developers

they aren't really the same age. sgs3 came out in june of 2012. nexus 5 came out in nov of 2013. that's 17 months of difference... or a lifetime in the terms of phone components.
My opinion coming from a note 3 I actually like this camera better it just seems more user friendly in my honest opinion **** I've had this phone for 3 days now and I absolutely love it

How does the camera and sound quality, screen really compare? I've seen some reviews, but I'd like to get real user input from anyone who has used both.
Greatly appreciate any feedback.
Sorta' dead around here. No custom recovery yet, no custom ROMs.

My wife has a note 3 which I have obviously seen but haven't played with it much. The sound quality on the LG seems as good, if not better than the note and perhaps a little louder.
The screen...... the note 3 has a beautiful screen but IMHO I prefare the more natural colours of the pro 2 and, of course the screen is slightly larger which, when streaming movies etc, looks considerably larger as it is slightly wider and loses the on screen buttons.
As for the camera, both seem excellent but I do not have the knowledge to assess this on a technical level.
Personally, I prefare the pro 2 over the note 3 ......perhaps I'm a little biased as I own one and not the other.

I much prefer the G Pro 2 to the Note 3, I didn't have the Note 3 long because of the lag in the Touchwiz UI. The buttons being on the rear of the G Pro 2 are so much better. Notification lights front and rear, the 5.9" screen is fantastic. My only advice would be a 32gb model as the apps lag a little if run from a Micro SD card. The camera is superb and the sound quality great also! Hope this helps. :laugh:

I had the same thought, but in reality, I won't be happy unless there's development going on, and right now, we have no custom recovery, no custom ROMs, and no sources to build from. This is an incredibly amazing device and a great value for the money, but sadly, I doubt it would be a good option if one wishes to keep up with Android.

I think he's trying to say that the Root method by that one dude and GEOHOTZ(PS3, iPhone), will work for this phone. Which I'm pretty sure is incorrect because it will only DEFINITELY Root phones made before June 13th, 2013. Lol. Yeah that's ironic. It's on the XDA Portal page.
I do not recommend getting this device. It literally is something LG decided(from the looks of it), to just release just so they can say they have a phone bigger than others. I really advise against getting this phone. Get a G3 or just keep your Note 3. Besides, this phone is a complete downgrade from a Note 3. And I don't mean specs. What's the point of having all these specs if you can't utilize them as a flashaholic?!

You can root it via towel root, the same method as the s5. For the record, I like my g pro 2 more than my note 3, to each his own.

There are a few things that I recommend to all of my friends that buy a Nexus 5. Out of those 5 or so things, 2 of them are for the camera / recording.

Flash both in recovery and enjoy a better performing and better sounding camera!

Nope. Its complete rubbish. One guy took that one photo about how he had bigger holes (which he did) but wrongly assumed it was a "new version" then every idiot tech blog and news site cloned his article as truth and Brought about one of the biggest misconceptions in technology news history.
I'm sorry but there is only one version. Buy a brand new nexus manufactured yesterday, you may have big holes, you may have little holes. Its not because of different versions. Its because there are big variations in their production lines
I wrote a thread about it here
Will everyone please stop talking about different hardware versions?

I just wonder why sony z3 is sometimes behind imaging with other flagships especially when it comes to iPhone 6. In my opinion, iphone 6 takes way better photos except maybe in complete darkness where z3 ramps up iso. Is the camera hardware of z3 insufficient or is it the software? Can it be on par with other flagships if software is fixed? Auto in iPhone is much better versus in z3
Sent from my D6633 using XDA Free mobile app
Ironically enough the iPhone 6 like many others including the Galaxy Note 4 use Sony Exmor Sensors. The Z3 has a better sensor than them but the software processing on "auto" mode on Sony is detestable. If you switch to "manual" it takes much better pictures. Sony does not bother fixing its auto mode for some reason.
Yeah auto sucks but I guess the manual is on par but not really "superior". So this means hardware on z3 is more capable and this can be solved all in software aspect. Or maybe there are other "hardware" on other flagships that are better than z3?
Sent from my SGP621 using XDA Free mobile app
No, its the software optimization. I get really good pics sometimes then horrible ones at other times, mostly leaning to horrible. So that is why I use "manual" its far more consistent and photos are good though it can be a core to change settings based on lighting conditions.

I was just about to post about the image differences between the Z3 and the Iphone 6. I was trying to demonstrate tonight with a friend that my new Z3 upgrade was better than his new Iphone 6 so I did a camera comparsion.... And I wish I hadn't.
The IPhone 6 shot was far superior. My image was grainy and horrible when zoomed in, compared to the sharpness of the I6.
Kinda sucks I don't want to mess with a bunch of settings just to get a decent photo.
Athough I did root my Z3 so hope I haven't messed with the DRM keys. How do I check they are still there? (I haven't unlocked the boatloader)
Just to put the picture quality into perspective... My shot was worse than my previous. M7.
