As much as I don't want to agree with you I do... F*c*i*n* amazing camera during the day,,, Completely useless at night.

For $39 you can buy a little Fuji that works a lot better (and is about the size of the battery of the GN3). Just gluing a lens on the back of the phone case doesn't make it a camera.

[Q] Screen Compared to Galaxy Nexus?

Since both phones have a Super AMOLED display, does anyone know how the screens between the Galaxy Nexus and the Galaxy Note compare?
Coming from a Galaxy S2 (Super AMOLED+) prior to the Galaxy Nexus, I have to say I'm very disappointed in the Galaxy Nexus screen. Banding, grain, terrible low light/brightness quality, etc...
The following post shows exactly what the screen on my Galaxy Nexus looks like.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1394358
However, I'm very tempted to pick up a Galaxy Note as a daily driver but if the screen looks like my Galaxy Nexus, I may think twice about it.
Anyone here have and/or used both able to comment?
Thanks!
It seems the note has the same issues as our nexus with the display. Banding, grainy at low brightness, etc. Its due to Samsung new production process of amoled. It will get fixed over time with later upcoming phones.

TurtleShell for Galaxy Note 2
it's not going to turn your phone into a DSLR.
it only offers mounting points for accessories, it's not a DSLR without a moving mirror on the inside.
Ok so where do u buy this?
Umm, that says $247 dollars.You could get an actual camera for that much that would be way better than any phone camera.

Nexus 6 Camera Vs Galaxy S4?

I couldn't find a comparison between the S4 and N6 camera. Does anyone know how the two compare? I currently have the Galaxy S4 and was wondering if the Camera on the N6 is superior or rather the same.
S4 just by having better software. But the nexus take better pictures than the note 3 . I felt the s4 camera was night and day versus the note 3. Nexus camera is really good the s4 was great. But I haven't had the s4 since it was released so I I'm not sure how good it is now but back then I loved it. For some reason hdr on the nexus looks fantastic so for me if they just add more options in that camera app then it would be on par with the note 4. The stock app just seems dated.
Has anyone else used both phones? Id like to get several opinions
I've used both phones. The S4 camera looks like a VGA compared to the Nexus 6. Its also super slow, I can't stand using the S4's camera. I had one sitting in my bookshelf for s few weeks while I was selling it in eBay and I was not impressed with the S4 and its camera. The Note 3 took better pictures, but the Nexus is still better run my opinion.

Galaxy note 7 12mp camera ??

Doesn't the note 4 have a 16mp camera?? Why are they making a lower resolution for a 850.00 phone ?
I think it's because of it being water resistant? I'm not sure.

The pixels are much bigger, it has better low light, and better focusing. There is no doubt it is a better camera, just a lower resolution.

See , I figured it had to be something like that . I couldnt imagine theyd be putting a worse camera in a freakin damn near 900 phone.

High mega pixels are over rated, for one. Simply not necessary. Just a selling ploy from way back. "Bigger/more is better" Not!
No one prints these out, so simply viewing them on the phone or pc does not require such a HUGE image file. And if you did print them out, at 16MP, they should be poster size. LOL. Many users don't understand this, so they fill their SD cards up quickly with these huge image files and need more SD cards, and larger hard drives. I've wondered for years when the madness would end.
I turn my settings to midway at best. Usually lower, unless I plan to print.
I am disipointing about the chanhe samsung made regarding to aspect ratio on max resolution. Note 4 had 16/9 and now note 7 has 4/3. I dont understand why samsung bad to change a good thing. 4/3 is awefull on the wide screen on a laptop on a slideplay cause is onlu show 75% of screen.

16:9 is cropped 4:3 when it comes to photography.
Yea them sony phones have 21 mega pixel and they suck.. the note 7 has same camera as s7 which is the best camera phone u can buy, the apature is higher therfore no need for more than 12mp, note 4 has 1.3 or 1.4 lens apature I think. Note 7 is 1.7 aperture dual pixel auto focus.. but I don't take a lot of pics, I'm disappointed in the processor.. it's just a s7 with an spend and dual edge screen.. should of had 6gb ram too! BOO!

This thread does not belong here. It belongs in the Note 7 forum not the Note 4!
This has nothing to do with the note 4 other than you are comparing it to the note 4.
TL;DR Incorrect forum.
Go here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-note-7/help
Moved to T-mo Note 7 forum as it compares against Note 4.
From the specs, the resolution of Note 7 camera is lower, but the performance of the camera has improved. Galaxy Note 7 used the same camera sensor as Galaxy S7 edge, and just optimize the camera app operation.
And an FYI, although it is 12 MP, it is also dual pixel so it will get better low light and about double pixels (think 24 mp)

I had the S7 Edge for a few weeks and the camera is better than the Note 5 I have. The big difference is in low light settings and that is where you really see the difference. The one thing I did not like as much was the aspect ratio. It just doesn't seem right to take the pictures full screen but when viewing them they are not full screen. That is the only thing that I wish was different with the camera but now we just have to crop the pics to use them as backgrounds on widescreen devices. I would rather have the better picture quality over aspect ratio but it would have been nice if we could have had both.
More pixels doesnt equal better photos. For years iphone out shot tons of android phone with 12 and 16 mp and never had to break 8mp to do it

samsung knows that there doing.
I had the note 3, note 4 edge and s7 edge. The s7 edge has the best camera and the note 7 is suppose to use the same camera.
So there is no doubt that the note 7 camera will be better then the note 4.
and more pixels dont always mean a better picture.
I learn this long time ago. I had big megapixel camera that took flat wash out photos. While my lower pixel cameras took way better photos.
My wife just bought a Sony Camera for $200. The point is its 22MPs...The Note 4 takes better pics and is less and the Note 7 is less than that ans takes even better. ... there's a lot more variables than the number of megapixels

Is there any zoom feature on the Note 7? I've looked at all the you tube videos and haven't been able to find anything.

Sports shot and dual camera modes?

Does anyone have working apks for these? I was able to install the most recent updates from apk mirror but they don't show in my camera modes or edit camera modes. Does anyone know if these are being worked on?
I want dual mode too...

It is truly disappointing how Samsung removed the additional Camera modes for Note 9 users..

I believe the Note 8 camera has no issues using the different downloadable modes (dual camera, sports, surround shot). Problem is trying to make them work on the Note9.

Not just that, it's much more disappointing that they actually decided on going with a *lower* resolution sensor than that of the Note 4 (of all).
I would never have expected that years along the line, camera quality for the Samsung Note range would go down, instead of up. Especially not in the steps from Note 4 towards Note 9.
But it did, and they're not even sorry, it seems.
We need a heavily amped up camera mod, with 100% jpeg and such. I'll try what I can do myself.
