N5 camera

Will the N5 specs be the same as the LG G2, camera and all?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app

I think I remember that LG used the same camera as the iPhone 5 did for their Nexus 4. I I hope it's the same this time with the new iPhone's 120 FPS camera

Yes. At least that's what my fortune teller said.

A lot of the issues with the camera are that the stock camera app sucks, Google needs to spend a little time making a half way decent camera app.

So its more on the software side not hardware? I'm surprised custom Roms haven't gone to town on the camera
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 2

So if Nexus 5 has the same camera as G2, how come it has that weird camera lens in those leaked pics? G2 doesn't have that kind on lense or stuff around it.
I doubt that design really changes much from final Nexus 5.

I'm fairly sure that's what it was, people were discussing it a long time ago but I can't really find it. There were even people comparing which camera was better and in the end it died down after they realized both cameras were the same model by Sony or something. There were even a few people having issues with the purple haze on the iPhone 5, who also had it with the Nexus 4, so that gave it away initially, or so I think. It's been a long time, don't remember.

The Nexus 4 does not have the same camera as the iPhone 5.

I'm pretty sure most custom ROMs use the stock camera app. CM was using Focal but the dev had them take it out after CM incorporated and now CM is back to the stock AOSP camera. By the way Focal is now a beta app in the Playstore and is worth checking out.

The issue is the iPhone does much better photo processing than pretty much any phone. This is done at the driver level and not really directly in the app itself. Hopefully, Google can really improve the experience on the N5.

Please keep all Nexus 5 discussions to the existing threads.

Moving to moto x??

I know that on paper the moto x is just a "mid range" device and i love the htc one in every single way...but sprint and its crappy service is even worst with my one. Idk if is just because is metal but my wifes galaxy s3 get better sigan everywhere we go. I heard motorola is really good with radios and anthenas and to be honest is the only phone on sprint's line up thats not a crappy samsung or an icrap that i would like to get...anyone has any input on this?

Well allegedly there is a bug fix coming for how the one handles the 3g/4g switching. I would wait and see how 4.3 works.

Honestly, even with the features on the Moto X, the HTC One is the better phone. If I had my upgrade today instead of two months ago, I would still go with the One. Just my opinion though. Go to a store and try out the Moto X. See which one you like more!

I experience the same issues as you. Wife's s3 holds onto signals better just about everywhere we go, Wi-Fi included.
the customization options for the Moto x had me drooling...until I noticed that was for the AT&T variant only.
I would hold out until 4.3 drops for sure.

My wifi speeds are slower on my One than my S2. It's probably the metal but I don't think the iPhone has this problem. My speed test shows that I have 16 Mbps but the pages load as if I am getting 1 Mbps. Weird. Hopefully this is addressed in the 4.3 update if it's fixable

I dunno about moto being the one who makes good modems/attenas, but I know Samsung is known for having very good ones... I don't know why you wouldn't even consider a GS4 or a Note 3. Hell, if you're gonna switch carries why don't you just keep the ONE??

I don't know why people were calling this a software issue. I think the software issue they were talking about fixing was the blur.

Is the X unlockable? After the photon/atrix fiasco I vowed never to touch another Motorola device.
Sent from my One using Tapatalk 4

I switched from the moto from the One today. I switched because of the purple camera issue. 4.3 didn't fix it. I have to say I like it a lot more.
720p screen isn't bad at all, can't really tell. Its thinner than it seems in pictures. Runs really smooth. Cam is alright but havent taken any outdoor pics, just indoor so it may look better outside. The touchless controls and notifications aren't gimmicky, you'll use and like them. Moto assist is pretty good. The only thing I miss is the speakers in front.

Don't know why you would do this without trying to fix your ONE first... It's obviously a hardware issue, not software. You can do all those things on the ONE so technically it is a gimmick. You basically just downgraded.

Its the second one I've had with the issue. Just got tired of it. Doesn't feel like a downgrade at all. Only on a spec sheet comparison. Its not aluminum but built very nice, feels great.

No, actually. Active notifications alone are a god damned good reason to never go back to my One. It's life changing. Touch less controls are fantastic. AOSP + those two things, boot loader unlockable, rom interchangeability with all carrier, equally if not more smooth experience than the one plus better battery life, higher resolution camera, and the phone is repairable. My one will stay in my backpack as a backup phone, thanks.

Hmm, I'm thinking something different... I was looking for something suitable to use as a drive icon, for when the phone is plugged in to the computer. I think this might be it!

This is really cool - and yeah, some high-res images for wallpapers would be grand.
Even better, use it as a background for the N5 cropped to the right resolutions.

OK, CT scan next

I will check tomorrow if I it is possible to take a picture in higher resolution.

Hi Guys,
here an other one, combinated two pictures with a bit more sharpness.
A higher resolution is not possible with the hardware I get here, sorry for that! I think i could record a new image playing around with the camera frequency (=focus level) but i dont want to x-ray my phone 20 times to get an image which is a little bit less blurred.

Yes in terms of smoothness the nexus 5 is the best when it comes to android phone. My only downside with this phone is the speaker, its volume is just too low.

I must be the only one that likes the camera. Sure things can always be better, but it's way better than the N4 i was used to before. Only complaint is the slow shutter speed. My pics come out great. /Shrug

First full day with mine after messing with it for 6 hours last night. After modding the hell out of it last night I can say I'm really happy with it, I might change my DPI up a little more, at 320 and the icon's are a little too small. Overall though one of the better pieces of hardware I've seen in a while, love the soft touch back.

It'd be nice if they would simply make an 8-ultra-pixel camera, I only skipped the "One" simply because of the resolution limitations & memory-expansion.

They(HTC) no longer hold a stake in the company itself, but that doesn't mean they don't still have licensing. From what I heard, Beats will continue to be offered.....but, that could just be rumor too.....

According to these articles, it sounds like the M8 isn't going to be much better than our current device. 2GB of RAM, UltraPixel camera (no reference about actual pixel count)
I hope these specs are not correct because I will not be getting it if they are.
HTC you need to step up your game on this device.

The phone would need to be a bit bigger for a larger battery. I think that battery life on my DNA is awesome. Although I do run a custom rom and kernel (latest cr-palmer kernel). I really don't think that they should use a smaller battery either, hopefully it will be more advanced.

I have a feeling (other elevate members will know what I'm talking about) HTC is considering going back to removable batteries.
