The stock app on my S10e does not appear to have a white balance option for the front facing camera, and it doesn't automatically choose it correctly. GCam always creates superior results.
I can't imagine Samsung app devs would let their app be so terrible with selfies. Does anyone else have the same experience? Is there a feedback channel we can tell them?
Like I said on another thread why do you guys feel the need to have and use a front facing camera to take pics of yourself. I'm trying to understand is it a narsasiscic thing going on in this day and age or what?do people fancy themselves that much? not talking about you op or anyome here in particular so no disrespect intended. Just want to understand this need for front facing cameras. I love the s10 plus but the ugly 2 cameras on the front are stopping me from enjoying.and I'm not in love with myself to take selfies and admire my self all day.so the front camera ruins the phone for me a bit

People have always been taking pictures of others, and some have noticed that the cameraman has been missing for centuries.
Now we have a tool in our pockets to take a picture of everyone at once, in an instant. The S10 has a wider lens for even more people.
Every game night, I take a selfie with everyone using the GCam app in portrait mode. When I have a special moment with my wife, its easy to get a photo of us together. It's kind of ridiculous looking back at photos from years ago to know I was a participant, but no where to be seen, not a single photo of me interacting with others.
I took advantage of a sale at Office Depot for canvas prints, and made a collage of a year's worth of selfies:

I have got the HTC One from the end of May. But I still have some questions on my phone's "UltraPixels" Camera.
I wonder whether this technology is a software adjustment or a hardware settings?
4 MegaPixels should be all right for daily usage, but I always like to pinch to zoom my photos while browsing.
HTC One failed to reveal some details in the picture comparing to Samsung GS4 or Sony Xperia Z. I want to ask if it is possible to abandon the UltraPixels technology to boost the camera resolution to 8MP or even 13MP? Any app can do it?
Attaching my photo taken using ultraPixel HTC One at Hong Kong IFC Centre!

I believe it's hardcoded into the sensor that it only uses 4 mp for the image, while the rest of the pixels on the sensor used solely for exposure and gathering light

The phone only has 4 megapixels
They are larger than your regular phone megapixels, there isn't separate sensors for gathering light since that's how all camera work in the first place.
So to the OP, no.. Do some research on how these things work. Really.

You need to learn how to take pictures with the One because the pictures you have posted are terrible quality and the first is washed out. You're always best to focus on the sky and underexpose the rest of the shot and then edit in Photoshop or something because the quality of pictures I've taken are way, way, way better than them lol
Has anyone pulled the .apk and gotten it to work? I just want manual shutter. Picked up the S6a just for battery, almost got the N5 just for manual mode.
I could have sworn the S6 allowed for a "pro" more controlled experience. Is Manual exposure not anywhere; I recently just got my S6 back from repair so I haven't had much hands on use. I'll go ahead and check myself, but I could have sworn that it was advertised.
Also, I think this goes along more in the Help/Q&A section, but I could always be wrong
Exposure you are correct, I'm referring to shutter. You can have up to a 10 second shutter on the N5 which would be badass.
When I was posting on the Q&A, it said that only answers could be posted... I wouldn't mind a discussion also.
Is exposure different from shutter?
Yep... I might want a long shutter with a small aperture vs short shutter with a wide open aperture, the exposure could end up being very similar but very different effects.
Ah! I'm not an avid photographer frankly (I'm sure it will show). I did indeed look around, and yeah you're right no noticeable shutter control. I'll hang around the N5's section. From my memory, someone was able to port N5's functions over to the S6 over here on XDA or over at Reddit. For the apk though, we would need a rooted N5 or OTA file to extract it from likely. If they share similar API's, getting it to work shouldn't be impossible.
I supposed the timer is something entirely different from what you want. I just noticed it and saw the option to set for 10 seconds, but thought I'd ask.
These are a couple examples of what can be done with REALLY long shutter:

Fantastic looking! Looks like there was a system dump for the N5. I could look into extracting what I need from that, but haven't looked into it in detail - yet. Will get to it later when the day settles down.
Well, it seems that not only the Pixel suffers from lens flare...
Today I tried my op3t camera for the first time in low light condition and... the flare is there.
I'm attaching a picture, you can clearly see the 5 spots on the left of the lamp.
Does it do the same to you? As far as I understand it's a common problem between cameras.
Any way to avoid, or at least reduce it?
Thanks

There are some camera apps (like DSLR) where you can change the ISO, most of the time when you change to a high ISO value the flare would be less seen

Just tried it and it works. The thing that bothers me is that everytime there is an artificial light there is a flare...
I'm not an expert here but I think a lot of phones exhibit this. My wife's s6 edge plus has weird light retractions in low light.

Yes. Most phones have it. It largely has to do with the lens attached to the phone. I've had more success on phones such as the Asus Zenfone 3 Ultra. Use such phones and go into manual mode. In all cases I was able to eliminate the lens flare. Too bad I had to switch to the 3T which is a better phone but poor shooter. Can't find a way to eliminate it there yet.
You captured a UFO! No way! Lol. Anyways my experience with low light conditions has been great. This is at a party. So clear I can zoom in to the musicians faces clearly absolutely 0 editing. With Snapseed I can lower the brightness of the lights overhead

Hey there! I was wondering if anyone uses webcam covers on their XZ1C. Since the front camera on this phone is incredibly wide, I was wondering if anyone out there has one that manages to not show up in the wide angle selfie shots.
I like the look of this one - Amazon link - as it lists that it has a 4.6mm hole, which I believe should clear the front camera entirely. I'll order this and report back on my findings if anyone else is curious.
Otherwise, if you use one already and it works, please reply and let me know!
Thanks!
Hello, I'm here to update this. I bought what was in the amazon link, and the cover is just barely not big enough to cover the super wide angle of the front facing camera. As best as I could get it, the image had vignetting in the extreme corners. A not-so-great test image can be found here.
This would work on just about any other camera, as the XZ1C has the widest front camera I've ever seen.
The circle on this cover is 4.6mm in diameter. We would need something more around 5-5.2mm. If anyone can find one, please share!
All that being said, these things are absolutely tiny and razor thin...they'd be great on any other phone! I recommend it for other devices.
Thank you!
Edit: I'm going to try one of these. The internal diameter is 6mm, so it should clear with no problems. The entire thing is just under 22mm long, so it should fit on the glass without hanging off the side. I'll get back with results once I receive this one.
Edit Edit: I got in this exact one up above, the 6mm internal and 22mm long ones. It works perfectly, although right now it still slides around on the screen a bit. I hope it'll adhere better with a bit more time than a few minutes. It fits perfectly around the camera and around the notification light. Most importantly, NO vignetting! I'll post pics of it below.

Good day.
Nice findings!
As i am searching for a way to protect the back camera lens, your post called my attention.
Have you tried any of those in the back camera?
As the back camera has a bump, i don't know if any of those works.
Thank you.
I guess I'll start with some pictures I've taken.
My first pic with this phone. Zeiss Natural Color was OFF here.

Zoom test. I think this was around 25-35x zoom.
"Sports mode" test. Colors are wonky, but still impressive.
Low light test
And a few more:
Guys, could you please share some more pictures (especially night ones and made outside)? I hesitate to upgrade my x70 pro plus or not.
Playing around with some filters
One more!

One is indoor extremely dark room..
Went to the zoo recently, these 2 photo's came out great (if you ask me)
Some of my snaps, including zoom lens testing and raw photos.

Here you go, some beauty of my country
Guys, who has both x90 pro plus and x70 pro plus on hand? if someone has both devices, please post full-size night photos for comparison (preferably taken outdoors, not indoors). I just can not decide whether it is worth updating to the 90th. For me, only the camera is important, other aspects (display, processor, battery do not matter). Thanks in advance.
