Need Camera2 Probe data for Samsung Galaxy A6

Hi all,
I'm considering the Samsung Galaxy A6.
I'm pretty concerned about the camera though and I was wondering if any one can provide the output from the app Camera2 Probe, which gives elaborate specifications for the rear camera.
The phone is on sale at MetroPCS for $150.
Thanks in advance.

here i have the a6+ though

Thanks I'm glad to see it can shoot RAW i.e. DNG photos.
It appears the A6 and A6+ cameras have the same megapixels and f-stop. Not sure of course if it is the exact same camera but seems probable.

Exynos S10 8K video recording?

I was wondering if some devs started working on this since the Exynos 9820 officially supports 8K video recording. The phone is limited to 4K since it would cause inconsistencies with the Snapdragon variant. Does anybody have any news about this hack?

Unless 8k is supported by the sensor, you aren't recording in 8k. Doesn't matter what the chip supports. You can't record in 8k with a 4k camera

I remember that a simillar discussion was at the S4 forums 5 years back. It turned out that the camera was perfectly capable but the SoC lacked support.

8k is 33.2 megapixels (7680x4320). The main camera on the S10 phones is 12 megapixels. You're not getting anything close to 8k no matter what a developer tries to do.

Yup, camera does absolutely not have the resolution for that. At best, you'll oversample your 4k video to 8k, won't have more details and your video files will be a lot bigger.

The S20 lineup has HARDWARE support but the S10 lineup does not. The S20 and S20+ use the 64 MP telephoto camera to shoot 8K. The S20 Ultra uses it's 108 MP main camera to shoot 8K. The top count in the S10 lineup is 16MP. The CPU in the S10 is capable of 8K shooting but there isn't a camera with sufficient MP count on board.

thats resonable however 8k isnt something to panic about with tons of space and the giant display you gonna need i think is s10 is still a full package imo

I also have the Pixel4XL and am tempted to go for the S21 ultra either the 256gb or the 512mb version as I feel the 128gb version would be a waster of money with all that 4k videos an 12 bit raw photos.
I also buy my phones for camera and love the fact that you can get close for macro with the wide angle lens and the 3x and 10x zoom look appealing as well.

Samsung photo processing can't still beat the pixel one.

For me, I'm over the "Ultra/Max Flagship". I don't need/want to spend $1200 even with 0% financing. I would rather spend $700 every two years for 3 new phones ($2100) than $1200 every 3 years for 2 new phones ($2400). I'm 99% sure I'll get the Pixel 6.

I originally bought the s20 ultra for the camera. The photos from it are great but I also brought along my mirrorless camera for anything worthy of photographing. I have grown to dislike how heavy and big the phone is through the years. I am now back to using my P4xl and enjoying it.

Question What Gimbal and gimbal app work best with the Galaxy S21 Ultra?

Wondering if anybody in here can get full functionality out of a Gimbal and gimbal app for the Galaxy S21 Ultra.

Pretty much all gimbal apps work. But no 4K 60fps video with any gimbal app. You're limited to 4K 30fps.

And no tele lens...

Is this just a temporary limitation you think that just needs a fix of the gimbal apps?

Unfortunately it is a limitation posed by Samsung that doesn't allow most apps to use the full functionality of the camera.
However, there are apps like FILMIC PRO that managed to overcome the limitations posed by SAMSUNG and can record in 4K60, however they also cannot use the ZOOM lens. FILMIC PRO has a compatibility option for the DJI OSMO MOBILE and ZHIYUN SMOOTH 4 Gimbals.
I would advise you to consider 1 of the 2 so you can use them with FILMIC PRO. I made the mistake to buy a Baseus Gimbal which works fine, but the Baseus APP is limited, the gimbal controls do not work on the Samsung CAM, and FiLMIC has no compatibility option for my Gimbal.

Thank you for the information. The stabilization of the S21 Ultra is so good that I imagine with a gimbal it would be basically perfection.

It's not just Samsung, it's all Android phones that have this limitation. Only iPhones can do 4K 60fps.

Well not exactly, because I can confirm that Filmic does 4K60fps on the s21 Ultra and also on the s9+. (EXYNOS)
Same goes for open camera and mcpro24fps.
All of that without any lib changing. Some apps just managed to overcome the FPS limitation.

I recently backed the PowerVison S1 project https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/powervision-s1-world-s-smallest-smartphone-gimbal/x/18021902#/
They said the S21 Ultra is one of the cases they plan to make. Check out their demo and review videos to see how clever the case is with magnetics and wireless charging.

Question S21 ULTRA VS S22 PLUS

Fellow readers,
Which Is your opinion , since now days s21 ultra and s22 plus have the same price which you believe is better option?

S21u for cameras

Except the zoom I have the impression that s22 has better cameras overall.

Tested s21u and s22u, didnt find a big differences when looked on photos in devices. So S22plus cant replace s21u in photo quality, another minus is battery, 5000mah is best Choice when you dont want charge phone every 15h with a moderate usage.

The S21 Ultra has better overall cameras than the S22 base/plus. Also the ultra wide has autofocus and can do macro and a better front camera. If you main focus is on the cameras, the S21 Ultra is the way to go.

Can't live with the 1080p resolution on the plus phones vs 2k on the ultras

Since the camera is what most of you are considering in this thread, I'll add something of my own. As a photographer I like the S21 much better than the S22, but if you are not a professional photographer you won't find any difference and you might even like the S22 much better. Plus, the price of the S21 is much lower.
The only problem I encountered while using the S21 is the lack of understanding of how to take a screenshot, because for some unknown reason the keys on this smartphone model is different from the keys on other models of Samsung smartphones. Fortunately, my friend recommended me to pay attention to this article on how to screenshot on s21 fe https://thecelldesk.com/how-to-capture-screenshot-samsung-galaxy-s21-fe-5g-methods/.
I decided to take this advice and did not regret it, because this guide was very detailed and I quickly managed to understand how to make screenshots on S21 FE.

They really don't compare very well. The S21 Ultra is larger with a bigger display, 1440 x 3200 pixels, 1080 x 2340 on the S22 +, Internal Memory, 512GB w/16GB Ram, 256GB w/8GB Ram on the S22+, 108MP Main Cam Senor 50MP on the S22+, 5000 mAh Battery 4800 on the S22+, Android 11 is more trouble free compared to Android 12. For the same price, S21 Ultra hands down, it's not even close.
