30fps vs 60fps 1080p video - Google Pixel Questions & Answers

So guys,
On 60fps/1080p the video is noticeably much more blurry than on 30fps/1080p video.
I've noticed this since getting the Pixel, no matter what os: ship to latest including DU.
Has anyone else noticed this? I can't find anything here.

Are you recording 60p video on sd card or on internal storage?

Pixel does not have an SD card slot.

The only thing I can think of is it's using a higher ISO which will introduce more noise. The higher the frame rate, the less light reaches the sensor for each frame so the ISO needs to be higher.

No one else can say they experience this?

I have been on HTC 10 forum in parallel and accidentally mixed up Pixel for HTC phone.

So are you having this issue with the HTC 10 or the Pixel?

He is not the OP with the issue.

The video on 60fps is lower quality indeed. Details are out, it looks like mud.

How can i record the videos in mp4? / improve the audio quality on the recorded vids?

What the hell is htc thinking? the videos are recorded in 3gp!! is there a way to record the videos in mp4?
Also the audio quality of the recorded videos is awful, like the phone is under water, it has been said that htc uses the AMR codec when EVERYBODY else uses aac , is there a way to fix this? a 8 mp camera phone with 720p recording and lastg generatio audio quality, what a bummer! htc should be working on this as we speak!
Check out this video that includes talking and wind noise, the wind noise sounds like a tornado lol
no workaround for this?
I am also bothered by the video camera. It is supposedly HD but most of my videos are choppy and showing up as being in the area of 9, 12, or 14 or so frames per second. Is there any way to adjust some settings that I am missing?

ive heard the choppy framerate is because of the included sd card, and that class 4 cards dont have this problem
I'm pretty sure it can be cooked up in a rom. all that needs to be done is replacing HTC's camera with googles. Also the HTC camera does record in H264, but uses the 3gp file wrapper.
It can be found here:
/system/app/HTCCamera.apk

EDIT: Now that i think about it, it might be a little harder then just doing that due to framework errors. But hey ill take a look for you. *maybe even take the best out of both*

Ours included class 4 cards with the phone. Was this not the norm?
It's the HTC camera app. Using AOSP video recording on CM7 with a Class 2 32GB SD, it doesn't skip a beat. It's container is MP4.

?? 720p front camera???

I just seen that the nexus 7 got a mod that makes the front facing camera able to record in 720p.... My only question is. Does our nexus s 4g have the capabilities of the same thing???

on the Nexus7 it is a simple property file tweak - on the other hand I don't think that either camera on the Nexus S is capable of 720p recording
No. Neither the front facing nor the back camera can record 720p video. Hardware limitation.

Slow motion video

I love my nexus 5, I just hate how it doesn't have slow motion video! All of the other hot phones are doing it nowadays, and google just left it out. Is it possible for this to come in a custom ROM/is it being worked on already?
Up
I'd like to know if it's only software related or it's also hardware related ?
If it's only software can we expect mods ?
Thank you
Please answer

The HTC ONE X have it too, if I remeber
There were a thread on xda to add this feature to the N4, but I don't remember if something was released. The socket of the N4 is in theory able to do this, so I think the N5 too.
I'm really interested to have this feature on my N5. I will try to find something
No other phone can do it. The iPhone 5S has a camera that can record at 120fps. No Android camera has ever supported this feature yet.
HTC one, one x, galaxy note 3, s4 can do slow motion video.

It's not true slow motion that you see on TV though. It's software based. They can't record at 120fps!
The 5S is the only phone to record video at 120fps.
The Moto G can record slow motion although its not 120fps

sorry but it's not software based at all.. I own a s4 and iy can record 120fps videos in 720p you can se it's actually 120 fps by furiously increasing file size when recording...

That is entirely incorrect. The GS4 supports it. The only difference is that the resolution is reduced while shooting slow motion, whereas I believe the 5S does 720p. The phone is actually shooting at 120fps though - it's not using software interpolation.

It is true slow motion video, they record at higher frame rates and replay at 30 fps. My htz resound had this in 2011, [email protected], the new Samsung's and htcs have it as well, they don't shoot 720p at 120 fps but they do 480 up to 240 fps (note 3). Also there is many iOS apps that allow you to record up to 1000 fps on iPhone 4s and newer. It is software related, also all tegra 4 phones can use camera awesome and record 1080p @120fps.
Bump. Is it possible?

No.
Sorry for revivng the thread, but Google mentioned that the N5 can do 8MP 30FPS with the new camera HAL they are working on. If we can have full resolution 30FPS, 120FPS HAS to work in 720p. BUT we still have to wait for it.
And now with 5.1 lollipop, look at what's possible today, lol
Does the Nexus 5 comply with this HFR-Recording Standards?

It won't happen, 5s has special coprocessor in it so you won't see anything nearly as good for N5.

Htc one has also a slo mo function, so i think if the processor is fast enogh and the cam takes enogh pics it will work. And i think also the n5 could do it.

From what I know, the iphone 5s records at 120fps, this is all possible because of a hardware combination of the camera, and their in house processor has a dedicated chip for this. It's the only phone that does this, the HTC One does this, but only at about 1/2 the frames. So I stand by my word. The N5 will not see comparable slow-mo to the iphone or likely even the HTC One. Source http://www.engadget.com/2013/09/17/iphone-5s-review/
The Xiaomi MI2 have a 90fps option without co-processor FYI
So I think the N5 can take at least 90 fps without any problems
Comparison of 5s slow motion video with Note 3: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EBXbgFeEYHo
G2 also has slow mo, to an extent. Don't see why we can't get it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=crT0AmZWiUk

Terrible font camera quality when using Snapchat

Hello,
I recently bought a google pixel 2 XL. Coming from the previous model, google pixel XL.
I never had any kind of photo quality issues.
But on the Google Pixel 2 XL the front facing camera provides extremely bad quality photos.
Before the photo is actually taken it looks decent, but when the photo has been made it just blurs the photo, you can clearly see pixels on the photo and everything gets greyish.
Im running android 8.1
I enabled camera hal hdr+ in developer options.
Also tried a previous version of snapchat but that didnt provide me any difference.
Anyone else experiencing this and knows how to fix this?
Could anyone confirm having this issue too? doesnt matter if this is for Snapchat or any other kind of app with picture taking features.
Google Support isnt taking me seriously cuz noone else has reported this issue before.
Pretty poor on the Pixel 2. Instagram looks fine.
