Hey guys I recently got a Galaxy Note and might I add that it's an amazing phone. Loving it so far.
But I have one gripe so far, and it possibly can be fixed.
I've been trying to record some videos on my phone, and the sounds is coming out horrible. Curious if there's a microphone adjustment, or something.
Before I bought this phone I was looking at a lot of youtube videos of quality of camera, and its sounds 1000% better then what I record. Not sure if its a distance problem, or settings I have to change.
Here is a quick test video I shot.

Also is there any other Camera App where we can get
Date on Pics we click, cos its not there on Note
Thanks
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.

It's not the matter. S5 is new device and it has advance technology than n3. It should superior than n3 in terms of pictures and video quality. I hope its software problem than hardware coz software can be fix

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.

Haha nice one. Size doesn't matter dude. Look other phone. They can squeeze the part of the phone to the 8 mm thin

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.

Quit being a douche. Your comment has no bearing at all, you're just being an asshole.

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.
Hi all,
I've recently created a 360 degree video and have received a couple of comments from Exynos users that the video is not running very smooth. I only have a Snapdragon Note 4 and am wondering if some of you with an Exynos Note 4 could help me out and test the video to confirm whether it works on your phones? Also, what should I tell my customers in regards to OS and firmware updates etc.? You can find a demo of the video when you follow the link to my website and go to 360° Video.
Your feedback would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Eric

It plays absolutely fine with 0 problems. Running UHD Lite, didn't notice a problem with it since day one.
Since it's just a video it should be quite future-proof regarding future versions of anything.
PS: Nice video
Thanks Domen, you're feedback is greatly appreciated.

Anyone know if there's a good video to show off the screen of the Note 8 to friends?
Ideally, it'd be in the 18.5:9 (or close) and have HDR and 2K quality.
They had several on the store models and it was tremendous to see.

Youtube has some 4k HDR videos now. Just search it and then hit the button to grop/expand to full screen.
Composed on the Galaxy Note8
4k HDR videos can be downloaded from here: http://4kmedia.org/tag/hdr/
These two are particularly cool:

Hi all, about to purchase the S8+ but would like to get confirmation on how the S8+ performs on these three streaming apps. Does it deliver HDR on all three, or just full HD? Concerned as seeing Netflix forums changing woodvine levels on various tablets. Thanks!

Can't give you an answer for APV or Disney+, but the Tab S8+ does indeed support full HD playback and has Widevine Level 1. It also has support for HDR10+. I have a rooted S8+ and I enjoy full HD content on it regularly.
Thanks SavXL. And in Netflix can you watch in HDR or just full HD? Just trying make sure I'll get most out of the screen

It only shows the max resolution as full HD for me.
Side note, i do not think anyone adapted HDR10+ outside of Amazon.
The thing about HDR+ is that it is heavily supported by Samsung and Amazon, as a gimmick against DolbyVision. From what i know, which may have changed, you wont get HDR10+ from Netflix, Apple TV and Disney+.
