There are Google Devs that visit XDA right? Can one please confirm whether or not the Nexus S will do 720p. The specs say no, but I'm hoping its a typo. If not out of the box, then surely a software update will add it?
I would like to know this also
i'm not a google dev but it's confirmed that out of the box there is no 720p. Max resolution is 720x480.
However, the phone should support it since the Nexus one could and i'm pretty sure the galaxy s can as well. Hopefully within a few months (maybe weeks) of it being out with the source code people will be able to enable it.
the leaked nexus s sample video is 720p, so maybe it does have the feature.
here is the video and you can change the resolution to 720p: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZM0n0H179jY&feature=player_embedded
Just throwing this out there, on the official nexus s page, it says it takes HD Video...
come on if you want to know info on a phone take at least do some HARD CORE researching lol. http://www.google.com/nexus/#!/tech-specs

Yeah it's that 720x480 spec that throws me off. I'm hoping its a typo. I did see where it said HD video. That and the youtube video testing the quality are good signs that point to 720p I guess. A confirmation and/or correction to the specs would be nice though.

Don't worry about it, it DOES have it. What make you think a (google baby) high-end, 2.3 android, 2nd phone in the nexus line won't have 720p? haha all high-end phones will be having 720p.
On their features page they have mentioned this;
The rear-facing 5 megapixel camera is capable of taking stunning pictures and HD videos that you can share with friends and family. The front-facing camera can take VGA quality images and video.

720 x 480 != 1280 x 720 != 720p
I'm hoping it's a typo, because I really want to like this phone.
Clearly the 720x480 video resolution is for the front facing camera.

(Just to avoid total typ'o'fest... 1280x720 (non-interlaced) == 720p)
720 x 480 is not VGA quality... so it may, or may not refer to the camera on the back...
It would be a GLARING mistake not to mention a functioning 720p recording on the spec sheet...

Sadly, no:
Front-facing: VGA (640x480)

I Don't understand how this is even a question, we have established this is fundamentally the same phone as the current Galaxy S (I own one) which out of the box running 2.1 eclair had Full 720p support, both Video record (rear 5mp camera only) and playback, in fact it is so cool I am able to play the 720P .mkv High Def TV show downloads you see floating around on the net.
All this straight out of the box.
It will most likely be added later by google or a developer
Developers added 720p Recording to Nexus One

But yea kind of lame by default its not supported considering galaxy S does

Dont expect the same support on the NS those video codecs were supplied by samsung since this is Google only i wouldn't expect the same playback support the galaxy s line had .mkv...ect
Im really hoping im wrong though

Actually its:
720 x 480 != 1280 x 720 = 720p
With Nexus S, however, an unexpected trick - in contrast to the Galaxy S, he writes not 720p video, but only 720x480. This is done so as not to create competition for their product. With the same purpose removed the expansion slot and FM-radio. At the Nexus S only built an array of 16 GB, and partly a desire to operators in other markets.

Looks like a reviewer confirmed the missing 720p recording.
http://hi-tech.mail.ru/review/misc/Google_Nexus_S-rev.html (in Russian)
Even if the phone doesn't support it at the moment, I dont see why the devs here on XDA would'nt be able to add the feature considering it's essentially the same hardware as the Galaxy S..... and not to mention the devs here are awesome.

the fact that they did not put in bt3, memory car slot, 3g+ and made the NFC read only meaning you can't use it to make payments\in the subway etc.?
So,...My girl is taking the NS back because it doesn't have a zoom feature in the camera app? I mean she is reaally upset about that...Share ur thoughts !

what are you expecting to be "shared"?
no zoom on the camera app is the deal breaker?
are you trolling?

Yes, as noted in the stickied FAQ, there is no digital zoom in the camera app like on other Android devices. As far as I know, and I'm sure someone will be quick to correct me, there hasn't been a real zoom on any phone.
Personally, this didn't bother me because the digital zoom always looked like crap lol.

You should explain to her the difference between a mobile phone and a digital camera. And if she thinks that she can get the best of both (all) worlds in a single device, perhaps you should tell her about this thing called ... money?

Nearly all cell phone cameras lack "zoom".
What you see in cameras labeled "zoom" is actually cropping, so you end up with a lower quality crop.
Explain that and she'll be okay.
Please stop the arguing in this thread, or it will be closed and infractions/warning PMs will be sent. Thank you.
Edit: Thread cleaned from all the nonsense. Please, keep this on track.
Explain that all she's ever had on any phone is digital zoom which is not supported in the stock Android camera app. There are alternative camera apps in the Market if it's really important to her.

Nobody asked for your opinion, "go bith and moan" on another thread if you think it's all ok.
Like I've already explained: "maybe it's not so useful for pictures (because it's a digital zoom) but it could be useful for videos in order to move attention on a detail".
Lack of 720p is another issue, however, 720p recording (just like digital zooming) is usually interpolated on smartphones, so it's not a big one. Moreover, you know it doesn't record at 720p from specs.

They down sample. There is no issue with downsampling. Upsampling (digital zoom) degrates the image.

Upsample. Usually on smartphones the sensor is not 720p capable but it has a lower resolution, so you get 720p recording by upsampling frames. However this is off-topic
its called crop it..done looks waaaaay better
I'm liking the responses

werd theres not really a big use for zooming in anyway just take a pic and pinch to zoom it looks fine tbh. Not a good reason to return a good phone lmfao tell her to send it back get a free phone to make fone calls and text and buy a digital camera so she can take some ugly facebook pics

Nope, video is downsampled from the sensor resolution.
720p frames = 1280×720
5MP sensor size = 2560×2048
The image captured by the sensor is downsized to the 720p size.
The reason cellphones aren't capable of 720p is because the hardware can't keep up with downsizing each frame that the camera is capturing.
Digital zoom in video means downsizing from the sensor resolution to the video resolution. Then upsampling the image information again to make it fit to the recording resolution. You're not gaining anything from digital other than introducing alot of noise.
Tell your girl to get an iphone.

So it can downsize to 480p but it can't downsize to 720p... interesting lol

Nope. There isn't any "downsizing", they are captured at lower resolution than the max resolution available (because of the bus width), usually the resolution is lower than 720p, then they are processed and upscaled to 720p.
I absolutely hate 4:3 photos/video. In the camera settings native max resolution is 3264x2448 (tunnel vision). With my S4 I was getting 4128x2322 (widescreen).
How do you enable widescreen photos with the Nexus 5 !?!!?

i'm going to bump this because I have the same question & didn't want to start a new thread. Yes there is a 2MP 16:9 option,but let's be real, that's pointless
I know that in CM roms (and possible other custom roms) have this, but is there a way, via modification of camera apk or other similar method of allowing more widescreen resolutions??

I saw this link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2548974
Where someone posted a mod for the G2 where they enabled 4k video and 120fps recording. I am interested if we could do this on the nexus 5?
Is it a hardware limitation? I'm pretty sure the s800 can handle it and the camera can snap a picture in 8mp resolutions, so I would think you could mod it to record video in 2k, or 4k resolutions.

AFAIK, one of the developers already said that it's a hardware limitation on the Nexus 5. So, no 120fps or 2k/4k for us!
It's possible ... maybe ...

Hi, can anyone share their experiences using XZP watching Netflix? Especially the HDR and the 4K.
I'm on edge whether buying XZP or LG V30.
I will be using the phone mainly for watching, reading, and using moonlight.
Lg V30 has oled dolby vision and bigger screen.
Quality is great especially on downloaded contents but beware, only HDR is supported by the Netflix app, 4k resolution is not available even though the display is 4k, not even 1080p, the max resolution we can have is 720p, this applies to every device as far as i know
Thanks for the feedback. I followed up on this and found that there is a modded netflix app on XDA that allows up to 4K. Gonna try that.
I am just curious 720p HDR vs 1080p and even 4k, which do you think worth more?

Actually I'm not really sure if I can see any difference when HDR is used but probably I've never seen any side to side comparison, probably I would prefer 4k over HDR just because I think the difference between 720 and 4k is incredible.
P.s can you please pm me the thread to the modded APK? Thanks
