So I bought the GC110 as a birthday gift to my wife who is a heavy social media user. She always wanted a second phone for Snapchat and she needed a camera to get decent pictures of her recipes.
I was horrified to see that recording video on Snapchat and instagram is noticeably bad! I mean any budget phone would do a better job.
Is there anything I can do?
Thank you

New to this site so Hello
Seems to be several topics on Photo quality but very little on the video camera.
Personally i have no complaints about photo quality, seems a decent upgrade from my iPhone 4s but the video camera does seem kinda poor to me.
also going from iPhone to Android, ive noticed the lack of video camera apps the is within the Playstore
curious to know what others think
Not sure why you are having problems with your video camera but, Z1 is rated on of the best video camera on a smart phone...

thats 1 review. the reviews seem all over the place with this phone. mostly on photo tho. some say the camera is the best available (excluding the Nokia 1020) some say it isnt as good as a Galaxy s4.
Ive found the videos look grainy or faded in well lit areas. sometimes looks like the video is upscaled rather than true 1080p

im really impressed with the video quality and its really good meanwhile i tried most of the smartphones and believe me z1 is damn good in video recording...................
i think the video quality is pretty good on the z1, obviously the king of video recording is the galaxy note 3 with its 4k video capability(Sony take a note here and enable this on our phones damn you). Its not just 1 site which has given the z1 a pretty good video recording score (gsmarena, tech radar, engadget and more). In optimum lighting conditions the quality of the videos are pretty good better than the iphone 5s never mind a 4s, one thing that the z1 does suffer from is when you record in low light, the quality of videos and photos begin to degrade, would have been nice to see some sort of OIS to combat this, but overall i find the z1 a very capable shooter.
shut the steady shot ... and try again thx
Why are the videos on YouTube so bad? How do I improve them and the same for the Snapchat camera, the quality stinks on that as well? :/
Same problem

On App Youtube when you play vids go to right corner on top and select from CC to HQ Quality, wait until it changes, it also depend of your internet. Snapchat is an App or is the camera of the Z1? If is the camera there is a LOT of settings and probably you don't know how to use it.
I think x reality engine also activate for youtube, so turn it off. Its only good for viewing SD source.
Hi everyone.
I am planning on buying the honor 5c as a daily driver and as an heavy social media user I'd like to know about the performance in apps like Snapchat WhatsApp Instagram etc.
Especially I would be very grateful if you could tell me about the image quality in Snapchat in comparison to the normal camera app. If possible could somebody also please include sample Snapchat pictures
Thank you very much in advance ?
Hello!
I bought an honor 5C and i'm using it for about one week now and I can tell you that the phone is amazing and mainly for his price!
Image quality in photos looks so good (both cameras) but I can tell you that on snapchat it just looks really bad compare to the original camera and we all know that it's snapchat that reduce the image quality.
I think it will be the same case on instagram.
Hope that it will be usefull for you! :good:

Phone is really good. With good camera battery. And performance is decent.
just wondering does snapchat work well on your devices, thinking of buying this phone but use snapchat a lot. on my current android phone performance of snapchat is abysmal. is it acceptable on the op3t or unusable?
thanks
Much better than what I got on the Nexus 6, which pretty much forced me to downgrade so the features don't slow down my phone. It's been really smooth for me so far.

Hi. Can you post a few photos taken with sc and with stock camera app?
Also, if you're willing to do so, can u take the pictures in both good and bad lightning conditions?
Wanna compare op3t snapchat performance with my iph6
So the non marked ones are stock camera app and the Snapchat ones are saved via Snapchat. I would take this with a pinch of salt as I'm 110% Snapchat compresses the pictures. Also there is no lo light assist via snap while the stock camera has HQ mode for low light. The last plant shot is a Selfie camera pic which BTW is really good.
Hope this helps!

snapchat will never be good on android until the actual developers work on a better code. All it does at this moment is take a screenshot of your display and thats why for us it looks so bad but I will say with owning a 3T that its the best performance of any android phone I have used the app on
I bought a 3T in the end, and there's no lag using it.. Snapchat performance is good, I think it's only been slow once or twice on me. Definitely not something to worry about .
Unfortunately Snapchat is crappy on Android in general. Laggy, poor performance and leads to battery drain sometimes.
Hello good afternoon
I bought the maxx bike about 3 days ago, and it's an excellent cell phone, except for some things that are not optimized like the performance of the battery, which is solved with greenify.
I come from a motorola G1 and Alcatel idol 3, and I am astonished that the video recording on the moto maxx is inferior or similar to the one of these cell phones, I still can not find any app that will benefit you :/
Find an app that really took advantage of the photos, like the bacon camera or the HDR snap camera, but I still can not find an app that makes me satisfied with the video recording :/
Do you recommend any app for video recording?
A query, I occupy many social networks, and I just realized that when I try to record a video in stories is really horrible, it seems recorded in 240p, you know why that happens?
Edit: Here I found people with the same problem https://www.reddit.com/r/droidturbo/comments/57yy4p/instagram_story_camera_quality_on_turbo_1/
Greetings and thanks.
Your answer is in that thread:
I had the same experience with the photos as you described. Videos just look like garbage. FYI I just found out you can upload from your camera roll if you swipe down while in the story camera. I’ll test the quality and see if it is better when taken with the normal camera first.

I have been uploading from the camera roll and have been getting much clearer uploads compared to shooting in the app. I only use the main camera so I can't comment on the selfie camera. I imagine the app just is not optimized for the og turbo's camera. Maybe it will get better but I might have a new phone by then.

DON'T use that app to record your video. Record your video and attach it/upload it through app.

That is known, thank you.
But currently the application has the option for live videos and just the rear camera looks horrible in this, while the front looks like you should see.
He sent several messages to instagram but received no response on the problem; This is precisely why I do this query here.

This sounds like an Instagram problem.
Are you running a custom ROM -- if so have you tried OTHER camera apps which are available? For instance, I have one of the Moto G cameras running on my Moto Maxx. There are others. Do they all have the same issue?
