Hi all, I'm considering the S6 or the Note 5 but mostly on camera features. I absolutely love the manual shutter speed option (up to 10 secs) on the Note 5 but if it's something that can be ported to the S6 I'll go with the S6 since it's cheaper and has enough features for me. After all they're using the same camera hardware so the features should be software-related only. Any thoughts?
Look out for the Note 5 Port in the develoment section. They ported the Note 5 Rom to the S6. Though Camera anf Fingerprint is buggy.
Since the SoC and camera (?) is the same and software is similar, there isa very high change it can be (and will be) ported.
Thanks, I thought so. The problem is that Open Camera with the S6's newest update still only allow up to 1/1.2 sec of shutter speed, wondering how can a port enable up to 10 secs. Could it be that the cameras are different? :crying::crying:

Hello!
It looks like the S6's camera can take better photos than Note 4/Edge, though as it's the same camera module, why Samsung is not releasing a Rom update to match the S6 camera quality?
Samsung is just trying to copy Apple that's all they don't intend to make things better for all level of users they try to create a smartphone class difference
Although they have the same Sony sensor, the s6 has an i.r sensor and more. It's more then software differences

maybe its my phone but my camera sucks. i mean i haven't looked at them on the pc but just taking normal indoor pics they seem very grainy and blurry even with ois
Then your Edge should go in service...the same problem I had a few weeks ago,and after samsung change the camera modul,everything is perfect....wish you good luck ...

Hello everybody. Does anyone know when and if samsung will update the camera software on the Galaxy S6 with raw support and shutter speed control like Note 5 or S6 edge plus? The hardware is identical, so it should be only a software improvement. And until then, is there a custom rom that ported the new camera app to Galaxy S6?

The 5.1.1 update was supposed to bring raw support. Sure speed control on the other hand I have heard nothing about

Well, seems like Shamesung has pulled a new low move from the shame hat. I just went an tested in a store a brand new s6 edge plus, installed Aida64, and the entire camera system, front and back sensor, image processing, etc, are exactly the same (this was Sony sensor). So they are trying to differentiate the Galaxy S6 from the more "pro" S6 edge+ or Note 5 just by software gimmiks... I am very disappointed, i payed a premium price for my Galaxy, it's only 4 months old... i want the phone to be the best as it can be, not artificially "gimped".
Greetings.
After going crazy looking for a phone to replace my Nexus 5 and not finding one that ticks all the boxes, I'm planning on getting a Galaxy S6. I'm not a fan of Touchwiz, but overall it seems to be the phone that best suits me. (Size, great camera, fast performance)
However today I was trying out a couple Samsung phones at a Sammie counter and I noticed the Galaxy S6 edge+ has shutter speed control on Pro mode. While the regular S6 (the one I'm interested in) doesn't.
Aren't the cameras the same on both models?
A friend who works at Samsung (marketing department) said he's pretty sure the regular S6 has shutter speed control on Pro mode.
I can't seem to find information on it o.o
So how is it? Does it have it now because of some software update? If not, is it in Samsung plans to bring it soon?
On a different note, is there anything terrible bad about the S6 I should be aware of before buying it? Random and formed opinions on the phone seem to be pretty good, but I wonder...
Thanks in advance
Your friend works at samsung and he gave you false info... no the Galaxy S6 has a max of 0.5 sec shutter speed and is only accessible with 3rd party camera apps and that really sucks
What?! even with third party software it's limited to 0.5 secs?
That sucks.
Well, I've also been looking at the LG g4. Does anyone have any experience with both phones?
The camera has more options however LG's software experience is even worse than Samsung I think. Plus the camera ain't always better
However, longer shutter is coming, as it is already included in the S6E+. Probably with the next update or Android 6
Hopefully!
Is there anything I should be aware about the S6?
One of the things I like the least on it is the notification menu full of buttons... I much rather have the Google's approach with a second page for the settings. Is it something you can change with root?

Hi I was just wondering where did you find that shutter speed for the samsung s6 and do you know what the default is I need to find this information for the s6 and iphone 6 but shutter speed along with information on the lens manufacture seems to be extremely difficult to find for some reason.

Hi,
How would you compare camera in Mi4c vs Galaxy s4 ? Is there any one who moved from s4 to Mi4c ? I have browsed all pages with pictures and comparison tools however cannot find real user experience. I am currently using sgs4 and camera is enough for me, however with new phone I would like to get a bit more Will I get it with Mi4C ?
Thanks
If I were in your place, I'd wait for mi5. S4 ain't a bad device
The only thing i liked about the S4 was the screen. The camera takes blurry shots 4/5 times and it lagged to no end. The Mi4c is worlds above it.
I had i9505 2 months ago I sold It and bought mi4c I think mi4c has a better camera as compared to s4 and if we talk about features of camera mi4c has awesome manual mode which s4 lacks
I agree with ermacwins. You should wait a little for mi5
hey, as far as camera is concerned the mi4c is miles ahead of the s4 (and it should be, actually, it's a flagship two years ahead !) i wasn't a sg4 owner but i have used it a lot and i'm also a previous xperia z owner (both share the same imx135 sensor) and i can safely suggest the mi4c as a camera update over the sg4. however if you are very interested in night photography mi4/mi note will suit you better (and of course mi5).
mi4c's imx258 is way ahead of s4, IMO the worst thing about mi4c's camera is the MIUI camera app itself - you've got plenty of options, but in worse light conditions it ruins 9 of 10 taken photos - a much simpler google camera takes much better pictures as it uses better exposure parameters and doesn't try to wipe out the higher ISO noise along with all the detail left
and yes, wait for the mi5 to appear - the mi4c price will drop making it even better buy
Hi, I come from a family of S4 owners but used a LG G2 instead.
The Mi4C takes much better pictures than the S4 (main reason being its fast PDAF focus). The processing is mature, it capures much more light in the same conditions as well and shutter lag is much less. Like the other people here, I advise you to wait for the Mi 5 release, but here are some pictures I took with my Mi 4c:

I remember reading your comments on the xda portal camera related on cm roms. If you havent tried cm13, try it now because it has a new snapdragon camera and it rivals the miui stock camera.

actually the miui app has proper manual controls and the g. camera has not. but yes, in auto mode your night shots come out both blurry and full of noise. (who makes the software? the camera picks 1/12 s.s. and 3000 iso ! tons of noise and shake too ! )

I'm on Team Superluminal's CM13. I'll definitely look into it. The stock camera of CM13 is horrible, it doesn't even support PDAF. At the moment I have to restore a MiUI build when I know I'm going to spend the day taking pictures, and revert back to CM13 afterwards. Thank you for letting me know, camera quality is the one thing that bugs me on AOSP.

Are you on the latest build because it was added with the ROM. I'm on a older build and had to flash the camera. There was some flickering but apparently fixed.
i need a fully working note 3 camera for marshmallow with slow motion, surround shot, UHD ....and all the other great features we used to enjoy on lollipop since it is the cam with best quality and compatibility
if it doesn't exist yet, please suggest some good replacements as i'm using a ported S7E ROM which basically uses the S7E camera (not fully compatible with our i9506 and quality is not that good )
Here are some of the apps i found compatible with marshmallow (note4 and s6 cam) but they lack a lot of features unfortunately... it would be great if any one could check them maybe he can add the missing mods : https://mega.nz/#!GUlkUJQK!XEZFIFTd3NLq29_UobBlvWT3UEI272Tj9j3dvLbsKQ4
I agree that note 3 camera fits the s4 advance I did I test hope someone can port it to be used in our device
Try of "AuroraROM" at Note 4 port if "Lollipop 5.0.1": Ultra HD and 60FPS at 1080p could be works but Slow Motion doesn't be works anyway. (Try to Xperia Z1C if be want of Slow Motion at 120FPS)
