I know this is the samsung galaxy s2 section. But if you were offered a samsung galaxy nexus for your samsung galaxy s2 would you make the switch?
If no please explain
If yes please explain
Thanks
You will get bigger display and better updates. Depends on how long you got your s2, if you feel bored its not bad switch. Personally i would switch it.
Have a nice day!

Thanks for your input. But not having 8mega pixel, downgrade video quality, not having a expansion memory slot still tempting to switch?
I wouldn't switch... Like having an expansion card. Only positive of nexus over s2 is longer and faster updates of roms.

Personally, i like the design and i feel 32GB is enough memory. For the camera, you are right. Its just up to you, do you take pictures and videos often or no? You know the best for you here.
Obviously nexus have style, bigger display and higher pixel density, it's the google way.
But if you take in to consideration that:
- the usable screen it's almost the same becouse of the navigation bar in nexus case
- SGS2 has the better screen even at such lower res becouse Nexus use PenTile Matrix technology which it's a major downgrade (some colors have to be approximated by using adjacent pixels, and can cause colors that don’t read as true)
- you get 5MP insted of 8MP and you also pay more
- in SGS2 case you will get more fps in games and in User Interface becouse nexus gpu will have to process more information (720 x 1280 vs 480 x 800 in same amount of time; bouth gpu are similar at the same resolution), you must conclude that nexus looks nice and I9100 performe better.
For me performance, user experiece and image quality it's everything so I would take i9100.

Very good statement, i have to agree with alot of that. however, you forgot to mention Samsung nexus NFC chip, panoramic camera, face unlock and android beam. They are new features that makes me love my galaxy nexus, not to mention if your into a curve design, its pretty sleek.
for me it was really tough, i went with the nexus although, i wish had a better camera, but 5 mega pixel on nexus is surprisingly not that bad, of course the galaxy s2 camera is better.

the camera is actually really good, but as you said no flash so pictures look horrible taken in low light. you might also miss the rugged body of defy compared to galaxy s cheap plastic feel. but software wise i think galaxy s is probably much better than defy
Camera is great in normal light. For me super slow in poor light and no flash. In good light photos are awesome and taken instantly in low light photos poor and i often miss the phot as people have moved on before the photo is take (significant delay between pressing the button and actual photo being taken.) Other than that the phone is great.
Take the Galaxy! I had Motorola and sold it to buy my Galaxy S and I'm very happy with it!
My friend has the Defy and when I compare it with my Galaxy S, my Galaxy S is lot smoother, has better battery life and it even has amazing ROMs. I'd say, go get your Galaxy S today!

Check out the last few pages of the nexus 5 pictures thread. There's a few guys who have taken pictures with the nexus 5 and iPhone 5s. No reviews, just pictures. Check out out and you'll see the difference yourself. From what I saw in the pictures the nexus 5 has a better camera, especially in low light conditions.

Seems fair to me, although I wish they would include more pics. I like how they "stressed" the camera by taking photos in non-ideal environments, i.e. any phone can take beautiful pictures of buildings outside, on a sunny day.
PA also did a camera comparison versus iPhone 5S and I was thoroughly impressed

Are you talking about his Nexus 5 vs S4 camera comparison video? Cuz if you are you'll notice he's not even wearing the same clothes in the two videos. How do you figure he used the S4 selfie in the iPhone comparison?? Go back to your iPhone fanboy forums and spin your lies there.

I'm not sure what you mean by distortion. The video that he posted is the best all around camera performance demo that I have found. Covers audio, video, photos, and HDR and non-HDR performance. The need to compare it with the 5s is because the iphone has always been known to put great cameras in their phones. So it serves as a standard. Please understand my attempt was not to start a hate war on apple, afterall this is an android development forum and I don't reckon many apple fans would be here, except for that one guy above (what is he doing here anyways). If I wanted to start a war I'd be on cnet or something

Lol strong point you got there but I have always used android and I will keep rocking this bad boy. If there is any fanboys here that is you and others like you that are afraid to hear another phone has better camera.as i said just be happy camera is good. This is a nexus and we like it for other reasons and not for the camera. I got my canon dslr and I use that for awesome pictures. Enjoy.
I have to say that after battery life (I knew from the moment the specs leaked, that 2300 mah wouldn't be enough) that the camera quality has been my biggest dissapointment, the phone has a HARD time focusing, the picture quality it's mediocre/sometimes decent and it really doesn't make sense since google is making a big deal out of the camera.
Check out the tag line for the nexus 5 on the play store: "Nexus 5 helps you capture the everyday and the epic in fresh new ways. It's the slimmest and fastest Nexus phone ever made, powered by Android 4.4, KitKat."
If you go the official nexus 5 website you will find lots of info about how good the camera is : http://www.google.com/nexus/5/
or the commercial ... it's all about the camera
Anyway, according to Joshua Topolsky, The Verge's Chief Editor, there's hope and we will get an update trying to fix what's broken, do you guys think it will really make a difference? Or is this camera simply a poor camera? Here's the quote:
"Representatives from the Android team say that software is to blame for the weak performance, not hardware, and reps tell me that a fix is coming to deal with the issues in the upcoming weeks. I've even seen an early build of the new software, and while it's only a minor improvement — autofocus is a hair faster, but still inconsistent, and picture quality hasn't changed — it's nice to see Google already at work.
Of course, there's no set date for a fix at this point, and I don't know how much the camera can actually be improved through software, but if the Moto X is any kind of example, there might just be a solution to this very disheartening problem."

The verge are right in this case. The focus is awfully slow. Google pioneered the instant capture feature on the galaxy nexus, dont know why they abandoned it on the nexus 4 and 5.

That's just not true, and you are very biased, it seems. Like others have said, there is significant lag in the camera focus and my Nexus 5 can take much much better photos than my Nexus S, but not any faster. And that is not okay.
I get the impression that all the effort on the software side so far has gone into HDR+
My experience playing around with it is that HDR+ not only improves detail in bright/dark areas, but it also results in sharper images overall. (This is contrary to what I have found with other HDR implementations which have resulted in blurrier images). Of course sometimes you don't want to use HDR (Maybe you want to photograph a figure silhouetted against the sunset for example).
Whilst I didn't buy the N5 as a replacement for an SLR, hopefully the non-HDR mode can be improved. After all, the best camera is the one you have with you.
(I also agree regarding the camera focus. At the very least, an option to pre-focus would make a huge difference!)
Shutter is slow... but it takes decent shots
It's no secret that Google needs to work on their camera software.

The same here, very surprised by picture quality in low light using HDR+ (for landscape mainly)... I mean im sure there are better cameras but for a phone im impressed
But i've a weird problem don't know if software or hardware but the camera app stay black screen when opened from the lock screen. it happened many times, i had to put my pin code kill the app and launch again to get the camera app working again.
Anyone got the same issue?

I'm not expecting Note 3-level of camera, but it'd be nice if we could have say... 70% of the Note 3's camera performance.

I'm finding the camera very usable with good results.
However, try using video mode and pinch to zoom. Does this cause Camera to freeze for seconds for others, either recovering eventually or crashing out?

Since you have those items, why don't you compare the camera shutter lag to those other phones?
You can always say that for you it's not a problem - and that might very well be as you say, but you'll never be able to deny that there might be people that want to capture "that moment" and with that lag it's just infeasible.
If your camera does not have any worse lag than say the iPhone 5s, please make a video so we can see for ourselves.

Look this thread is about issues with the Nexus 5's camera. What good are you doing when you tell people "It's not that bad guys! You just have to anticipate the 1-2 seconds lag, I learned it too!"
It's just ignorant to tell people there is no issue with the camera at all, because you yourself can work around the lag issue. You do see that this might annoy people, especially normal users?
Ok so i recently bought a S5 900F, one thing I've noticed is that 4K video from the S5 isn't as good as that from the Note 3, which i also had.
For some reason on the S5 the colours look slightly over saturated, the note 3 looks more natural.
Also video sharpness seem to be slightly better on the Note 3 aswell, I have a 4K monitor so can see the difference, which doesn't show on a 1080p screen .
The most annoying thing i've found recording in 4K on the S5, is that it has a tendency to skip if the lighting conditions suddenly change quickly, doesn't do it all of the time but when it does it spoils the video, I've tested another S5 and it does the same thing so it's a camera firmware issues that maybe fixed in the future, the Note 3 doesn't have this problem at all both where recorded on the same 64GB Samsung class 10 card.
Tbh i quite disappointed with 4K on the S5 if anything it should be better than that of the Note 3 but atm it isn't, as the S5 is still new i may get sorted out with future fixes, but as it stands the Sony sensor does a better job atm than the Samsung sensor in 4K.
If you are that serious about the quality of the camera than you should buy a real camera.

So? The N3 is bigger than the S5 so it's easier to put better hardware in there.
Not the case of better hardware, the S5 has better hardware it's either to do with the new Samsung Sensor or the camera firmware.
We've only had one update so far I think for the S5, and with the sensor being new tech, we may see a few tweaks to it and the firmware in future updates.
But as it stands now camera is better picture wise than either the Note 3 & S4 , video on the otherhand moreso in 4K could be better.
And the very random skipping it sometimes does that really needs to be sorted though.
As for having a real camera, I've got a couple of really real camera's, but i don't tend to carry them around with me everywhere i go.

Im on the fence about this one, just my opinion but I felt the 13mp sony sensor was one of the best ever seen on a smart phone for all round experience. The S5 definitely takes better 'well lit' shots, however, the N3 kills it in low light and as for 4k I agree with OP, hopefully updates will improve it.

you ought to be careful some of your posts are considered trolling!
The S5 video seems equal to the N3 after installing this camera mod. This mod bumps the 4K bitrate up from 50 Mbps to 85 Mbps, etc. patterned after kevinrocksman's original N3 camera mod.
That is not to say that both devices then become identical. Or that one clearly outperforms the other. The mod vanquishes glaring differences, but the S5 still performs better in some aspects and less so in others. A nuanced comparison would need careful and controlled A/B testing.

. The S5 definitely takes better 'well lit' shots, however, the N3 kills it in low light and as for 4k I agree with OP, hopefully updates will improve it.

I wonder how many of you when speaking about low light performance of the Camera for Photos actually use HDR ON ?
As for the 4k Video this is still very new tech currently limited to 5 minutes video which is not very good but it`s connected to some buffers filling up. I could imagine that the issue is mostly with the RAM memory not enough for 4k Video recording on the S5 as all of us know N3 has bigger Ram size which will explain why there is flickering on the S5 probably because video buffers are filled out.
Hope this helps.
It seems s5 is not a good choice

So all those other flagships with 4K video and 2GB ram are also unable to record too well? That's not the case. 2GB is well enough for the task.
This is more a sensor/Firmware issue in my opinion. Or camera tuning that is needed.
Some article mentioned that the limit is more of the phone hitting a Thermal threshold due to the high demand of 4k recording.

Really useless comment to post on an S5 forum, don't you think?

Maybe most of the tweaks to the camera firmware will come with 4.4.3, which is due this month on the S5.
Also Sony has a new 16mp OIS module coming out soon, which is apparently is going into the Note 4, looks like Samsung don't have much faith in it's own sensor if that being the case, because of all the bigging up they did of their own sensor here http://connect.dpreview.com/post/0315472077/samsung-explains-the-galaxy-s5-isocell-sensor
You think they would put it in the Note 4 if rumours end up being true.

Was is a good choice? your iPhone?
Definitely need to buy a camera if you're really concerned about video.
