My previous phone was a Samsung Galaxy Avant which I knew had a terrible camera before I bought it, so I'm still getting used to a really nice 4K camera.

Very nice shoots

The 4K is exactly what I'm kind of missing in video recording. I'm satisfied with the photo and basic video quality however I have devices at home where I could watch back 4K recordings - if I had any.

I've got a 4K monitor, so I would have appreciated 4K video inclusion as well. :/

No, or not that much however your friend at least have the option to record in 4K. As far as I know some Sony smartphones limits the lenght of the video in 5 min due to the heat, I could imagine some limitations here as well and let the customer decide what he want to do.
The hardware should be capable of it I think my friend's OnePlus X can do it (with an unofficial mod) and the CPU-GPU is weaker.
I still love the camera but if I could wish something this would it be

My friend's Z3 has a camera of 21 MP. Astounding. Maybe that's why it heats up that much.

I recorded a 6:30 1080p60 video to test. The phone got warm in the camera area, but I wouldn't describe it as "hot." I don't have an infrared thermometer to give an exact figure though.

Interesting. My friend's Z3 goes so hot that the phone shutdowns itself to cooldown
Sent from my Galaxy Tab 3 using XDA Labs

The Z3 has a Snapdragon 801 which has some overheating issues in general, I think? It could also just be the difference that it's using 28nm tech instead of 16nm that uses less power. Or the Honor is encoding the video using a dedicated video encode/decode circuitry block entirely or more so than the Z3 which might use more of the CPU cores to encode video and consume more power doing so?
edit: Hopefully that made sense. I just got home from work and need a nap. Playing back 4K video on my PC uses ~25W with CPU decoding versus 5W with different software that uses my GPU.

That's a well know bug on the Z3. I think it was corrected in a firmware update. SD810 is just a hot poorly developed SOC.
From my brief testing with H8, it doesn't heat up as nearly as Z3.

I recommended him to root his device to solve the overheating or at least reduce it. But he said he doesn't want his phone modified in such way.

It should be normal.
Use Battery Spy app and track the temperature. Keep the app in the background, record a film, then check the app for the temperature variation.
Should be around 50ºc.
Can test Antutu or PCmark in loop and compare temperatures to video recording.
Just let it cool down between tests.

[REQ/Vote] Video bitrate enhancements

Right now the 1080p video bitrate is bordering max 10mbps, which is quite low and shows artifacts / blur in fast moving scenes. The 720p video is even worse @ around 5-6mbps.
A workaround now is to use the ICS Camera+ application and tick 2x bitrate. However watch the auto whitebalance settings since they give a purple hue. Set it manually.
This is a hopeful request to the OneX devs & modders to do their magic and squeeze more mbps as well as maybe lock a minimum FPS value so it doesn't drop to hell in low light and the expense of exposure.
i'd be happy with 720p @ 15mbps and [email protected], both at solid 30FPS
thanks in advance and vote for the feature!

Camera ICS + features like background and face effects don't work for me shame too, they look like fun!
they should also tweak the camera in order for it not to compress the pictures so much! HTC's stock camera app produces pictures that are twice smaller than pictures taken with other camera apps (or with a common 8mp camera) with no effects nor anything

Hox has a image processor so I'm guessing that will need to be flashed, or bypassed.

Not only video, but still quality too.
In order of priority:
* Fix the frame rate issues first (dropped frames are VERY distracting; currently video stutters badly)
* Provide adjustable image compression levels including a very high quality mode. (Raw would be even better, but I doubt they'd consider that.)
* Provide adjustable video compression levels including a very high quality mode.

don't think that's the case because we have seen 2 alternatives that increase bitrate just with a modified APK:
- ICS Camera - still some quality (purple hues) issues in resulting videos + cannot select 1080p
- NoDo-GT's beta which is currently frozen with no download available
seems the limitation is in the recording profile used: [email protected] / 10mbps
the SGS3 (and the SGS2 for that matter) uses [email protected] / 17mbps.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=25693754&postcount=108
[8] Video: SGS3 is clear winner here. HOX does not record in High profile. It records at mere 10 Mbps Baseline whereas SGS3 does High Profile recording at 17 Mbps.
Maybe now with the kernel source released someone can work out some magic.....fingers crossed.
While compression is too high and bitrate is too low, there also one very important issue - fps. I tested again and again and again, the stock camera can only take video up to 23-24 fps, while using camera ics I can do 29-30 fps. This proves that the low fps of the stock camera is not limited by hardware. An update to the camera is needed...

Far more important than the maximum FPS is that it's steady. If there are no frames dropped, your eyes very quickly get used to a lower frame rate. If it keeps spiking up and down between high frame rate and loads of dropped frames, though, that's impossible to get used to.
Check my vedio
The quality is very bad!!!

The mixture of low light and alternating colours would tax any camera let alone a phone camera. Used in decent lighting the quality is decent enough and doesn't lose focus like that

Nexus 5X poor video stabilization. Something we have to live with? Can it be fixed?

Hello,
Im looking to upgrade my Nexus 5 and ive been going through lots and lots of reviews, videos, pictures of many of the new phones out right now. Z5, S6, Nexus 5X.
I really like the Nexus 5X despite some of it shortcomings but one thing i REALLY have a hard time accepting is how shaky the picture is when recording video compared to iphone 6s, Sony Z5 and others.
Here is a video showing it against the Moto X pure:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l_zth08zFLw
The Nexus 5x i horrible Is that something we will just have to accept because it lacks OIS or is it possible to fix software wise in a camera update or using a 3rd party camera app. I must say that in its current form its unusable.
Regards
Jacob
indeed it is shaky...
haven't tried it but this one has video stabilization - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.sourceforge.opencamera
Maybe someone with a nexus 5x could try opencamera to record a video and post the result?
Yeah I was hoping 1080p would at least get decent software stability. It has enough pixels for it. ?
Sent from my Sprint Galaxy S5.
Does anyone know? Anyone tried opencamera?
Just my $.02. It was my understanding from the Launch event that it doesn't have image stabilization. Something about how it didn't need it with the upgraded light gathering capability of the camera.
The Moto X pure doesn't have OIS either, it's done in software
I'll just splurge for a gimbal. LOL

Just tried it and it seems decent. Good thing is that OpenCamera properly implements the sensor orientation detection, so the preview and resulting files are correct. It has experimental support for Camera 2 API, which needs to be enabled in order to expose the EIS setting.
At high resolution (4k), there's significant lag that's recorded in the videos with the EIS enabled. Google did say the 808 couldn't handle it; maybe they weren't just blowing smoke?
At 1080p, it seems to help reduce the shakiness by a fair amount; it's no OIS replacement for sure, but I'd say better than not having anything.
Funny how google said larger pixels negated the need for OIS. Did anyone really believe them? Did HTC not try the super mega sized pixels before?

From pics I saw it does fine without OIS. But videos would have benefited. And yes they coined it as "ultra-pixels".

OIS is only really of benefit for photos at shutter speeds less than 1/60th second, unless you have a zoom lens, where it is helpful at higher shutter speeds, as the more you are zoomed, the more amplified any body shake is. For smartphones with their wide angle view, camera shake is not too much of a problem for most typical situations, and any daytime scene OIS is completely pointless as the shutter speed is plenty high enough to freeze out any camera shake. The larger pixels help as the ISO can be higher without too much noise meaning a faster shutter speed can be used.
For video the situation is different as images are taken over time, so it's the movement in camera position between each picture that needs to smoothed, although the fashion these days on most documentaries and TV shows is to deliberately shake the camera around until it's a nauseating mess with whip zooms into the mix Still it's a good indicator I find for knowing the program is trash and not worth watching :victory:
OIS in smart phones helps a little with video, but the tiny lens optics and limited movement means they don't do nearly as well as a dedicated camcorder with OIS, which gives some amazing results. The link to the stablised 5X video is using a $300 device, so if anyone is that serious about their smart phone video, then for that money we might as well take a much bigger step in image quality and convenience and features and get a dedicated camcorder.
The elephant in the room with the Nexus 6P is EIS, this is the poor mans image stabilizer, yes it does help stabilize the video to a certain degree, but to do this it has to crop the image. It appears to be doing this the cheap way in software (hence needing the powerful chip), taking a 1080P video, then zooming into so it can have a window of view to pan around in, this means the resulting video has less resolution, see the clips here https://youtu.be/HV4rcFuUlUc?t=246 and compare the detail between the two, there is a drop in resolution on the 6P. Better EIS systems capture a larger image at the sensor, then would track and pan a 1920x1080 window across it so no resolution drop, but that requires more low level work with the camera hardware and dedicated chips to do a good job.
Record a 1080P video with the 5X, upload to YouTube and get it to apply stabilization and it will do the same thing, may even turn out better than the 6P EIS as it doesn't need to be done in real time so a bit more care can be taken.
Will the 6P stabilize 4K video? I somehow doubt it has the power to do that, so for 4K it's an even playing field between the two.

Hmm, aren't those phones using the much higher resolution of the sensor (at least about 4k) to stabilize the video by changing the captured frame on the sensor corresponding to the phones movement? At least i thought that's the reasoning why this works only up to 1080p (which would be preserved, in that case).
I think this could be quite useful for the next Nexus http://techcrunch.com/2015/01/09/imint-wants-to-bring-real-time-video-stabilization-to-android/

Low light

At the club, at the bar, or just in your mom's basement, nighttime is when you come out to play. Rate this thread to express how the Samsung Galaxy S7's camera performs when no or low light is present. A higher rating indicates that the camera sensor "sees" lots of light in dim conditions, and that the resulting photos have minimal noise. A higher rating also indicates that when the flash fires, the resulting photo is evenly-lit without any bright spots.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!

Well, that's how photography in low light works. The shutter speed is increased sometimes up to 1/8 s, which roughly translates to 8 fps. That ain't smooth.
the rear camera's quite well, but I hate the fix focus on the front camera.
way tooooooooooo much sharpening in Auto mode......I got the Samsung sensor.
Got a stunning shot of the stars with a 10s exposure. All I can say about this camera is wow.
I think the camera in low light (almost without light) works pretty well.
you can look at this, I was amazed ...
postimg.org/image/refmvvrwr/
It's good but it doesn't touch the LG G4/G5 in low-light, especially since max exposure is 10 seconds on this compared to 30 on the LG devices.
Very good in photos, good in videos but only at 30fps (that's normal, physics applies :3)
The only feature I'd love to get is to use for example 4 pixels for each pixel when recording at 1080p, like that, each pixel is 4 times bigger and gets 4 times more light. It also could be useful in photos but the quality loss will be noticeable (but not in videos)
Very good.

Your friends are never going to believe what you did. The only way to prove it to them is with that video you took. Rate this thread to express how videos shot on the Samsung Galaxy S7 come out. A higher rating indicates that videos are smooth (and not choppy) and that auto-focus works very well, and that the camera adjusts quickly to different lighting conditions while recording.

I read somewhere that the video stabilization option in the menu is for electronic image stabilization. Supposedly OIS is always on and doesn't react the same with EIS enabled.. Try shooting a video with that box unchecked and see if it's any better

Over the last 2+ years, I had an S5+ (G901F). The one with SD805 and the IMX240 (same sensor powering Note 4). Recently, due to an accident which resulted in destroying my S5+, I bought an S7 (Exynos version...and quite possibly an ISOcell sensor or whatever Sammy calls it these days) I don't think I ve got the IMX260 powering my unit, so I can't make any comments regarding the hardware...
OS wise - it was 4.4.4 and 6.0.1 on my S5+ and Android N (pre-installed) on my S7.
Since I am a hardcore video shooter with my phone, I can share my impressions of the S7. In short, I was rather disappointed.
Video rec modes remain the same for both i.e. 4K, 1080p 30/60, 720p...don't care
I was expecting similar output (if not better) from my S7 compared to my S5+. But no. After triple-checking on the camera/video/photo settings, I was still recording videos where compression artifacts are clearly visible. Usually in darker areas (but not always the case) - sometimes even in areas that you d believe the camera is focusing on. I m not saying that this is a sensor issue, but rather more of a post-processing / compression issue. If I freeze the video at certain parts, I can see in a frame, compression artifacts such as the ones you d get from a highly-compressed JPEG. Which makes me wonder why didn't I see any of those whilst I was checking on the video quality produced by the S7, compared to other flagship models.
I am not sure if that quality drop between the two flagships is justified by the fact Samsung decided to move from 16MP -> 12MP, or the software i.e. Nougat vs Marshmallow (...or both). For all I know, frame quality under video recording, has significantly dropped in the S7, compared to the much older S5+. (don't know what the case was for S6, never actually tested it...) Just to clarify - this is definately not a stabilization issue (phone position is fixed whilst shooting).
The good parts - obviously - the S7 is very good under low light conditions (both video rec and photo shoting). Focus and photo shooting is amazingly fast. Two areas that it clearly smokes the S5+ as far as the camera is concerned. But that's about it really. And I d rather have the 'slower' S5+, rather than the heavily grained videos the S7 produces. Being able to shot better in the dark is always a bonus, but not so important to me. I m usually shooting [email protected] Sometimes 4K, but under good light only (due to lack of HDR whilst at 2160p). [email protected] video shooting quality seems like a 'tie' between the S7 / S5+. Both very smooth and similar amount of details preserved in the video. But yet again, I m not shooting high-speed moving objects so as to justify shooting at 60fps. But I m expecting better quality per-frame whilst at 30fps. And at 30fps, the S5+ produces better results.
Also, the video trimmer under S7/Nougat seems to lack the Rotate feature. Don't know if it was moved under the Movie Maker app (which I haven't yet downloaded). Video processing seems to be much slower now. Trimming under 4.4.4 was at least twice as fast compared to what it is now! I am really curious if trimming under more recent versions of Android actually re-compresses the output file. If that's the case, that would be discraseful to say the least...can anyone confirm this? I will at some point test this myself and post the results.
Just to clarify. I m not saying that recorded videos using the S7 are bad - I m saying that it lacks the quality per-frame of the ones shot by the S5. I very rarely recall seeing compression artifacts in videos captured by my older S5+ and that is why is pretty obvious to me now. And I can't explain it. If it's not a sensor issue, could it be that the compression ratio has been increased? If that's the case - it's a good thing - as it could be fixed in a later release. Has anyone witnessed video quality degredation from Marshmallow ->> Nougat?
Please share your thoughts.

Video quality

Your friends are never going to believe what you did. The only way to prove it to them is with that video you took. Rate this thread to express how videos shot on the Samsung Galaxy S11 come out. A higher rating indicates that videos are smooth (and not choppy) and that auto-focus works very well, and that the camera adjusts quickly to different lighting conditions while recording.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
Not really a fan of the 8K video quality especially at low (maxes out at 24fps) frame rates. What do you guys think?
It's.... fine. 24fps is cinema rate, so it's more intended to be used with a stabilized mount and slow panning, so that accounts for a lot of the jutter. Well, that, and YouTube's compression algorithms, but I won't hold that against the camera. 8K isn't likely to be really useful for a few years yet, so honestly I am fairly impressed the the quality is as good as it is when the camera is still.
Video capability is on par with iPhone 11, and blows Pixel out of the water. If you do a lot of video recording, this is currently the best Android device for that job.
I would say the video quality is quite good.

Keep dreaming! ??
I have taken video with this phone and the quality is very high and clear. I think you have a good resolution camera.

Well done ?
Does anyone know or has tried to record 4k 60fps continuously.
What I mean to ask is, if recording 4k 60 fps, is their any limit to the record time or can you keep doing so until you run out of space or battery.
I'am coming from an Sony Xperia devices, on their there is no limit apart from the memory card or battery.

Thanks for your reply, so I take it there isn't a time recording limit. What about 8k recording?
wide angle cam stabilization test
here's a sample footage to test stabilization of the wide angle camera on a very bumpy trail. i say stabilization is excellent.
