I'm thinking about buying the maxx version of the razr. But some reviews said, that it has really poor picture quality when taking pictures. So you all own a razr. Is this really the case? Maybe you could post some pictures you have taken with the razr? Is this a hardware problem or will the phone get camera updates to improve the picture quality?

My friends g35 I just took to another buddy to tint all the windows. I rather think the RAZR has a very nice camera. This pic wasn't taken w best lighting in mind. Maybe this helps you but my maxx takes very nice photos
A quick photo I snapped of a fire alarm panel. Terrible lighting.
The picture quality is good. It just doesn't look as vibrant on the phone itself.
On my RAZR in display settings I have the checkbox for save battery dying dimming screen. Puts a light yellowish hue on the screen. Makes it look duller. Maybe you saw a phone w a similar box checked. I dunno. Just trying to be helpful. The camera on the RAZR has the f/2.4 aperture and for me it really shines
Ohh thanks guys that helped me a lot. Especially the picture of the alarm panel seems really nice to me I haven't seen the phone in reality yet. But the battery, oled display, processor etc seem to be really nice, just what I am looking for. I read some reviews of the phone, but they all said, that the camera is the only negative thing about the razr. And after my xperia play, I would like to have a phone, that can shoot quite sharp pictures
Edit: would be nice, if you could post some more pictures, especially with bad lighting etc

not sure if this is discussed elsewhere or is the same thing as the black crush issue ....this is a bit different ....i see lines where the screen background gradiants from black to grey, some apps are worse than others.
it does not show with solid colors, only with gradiants like on ICS style menus.
had to take a picture because it doesn't show on a screenshot, this is one of the worst, the others are not as bad with only a few lines
anyone know what this is?

Exactly the same here. I don't know if go and take a new one, because I'm tired of these AMOLED Screens. On my SGS2 had the same problem, the ugly gradients, some green/yellow tint, and ink marks with not true deep blacks. And now, with PenTile.
Put this image on your S3, It's a screenshot of MegaJump. On my PC it looks well but on the phone... ahh.

Sorry friend, it's just Samsung. That's what we get from a "premium" phone.
(I'm spanish, sorry if there are some grammatical errors)
yes, i can see all the gradiants quite visibly on the S3, it is much better on my S1, my S1 also doesn't have those grey banding lines which are worse than the halo effect ....i hope the lines are just software or background issue
i still prefer amoled to LCD though, just those banding lines suck
Hi, ho have the same problem on my sgs2. It's not a screen problem, but a 16bit rendering. This rendering mode improves 3D graphics performances, but reduces display quality introducing: banding, dithering, color missmatch.
aha!
it seems that is the answer ....so how do we enable 24 bit rendering?
can't find any info on it ...or is it something that should not be changed?
i presume there would have been an option on the phone if it was ok to do without too much performance degradation
Hello XDA,
There has been some talk about the Z2 camera and its questionable performance, especially when comparing to other flagship devices.
Here's the first comparison. From a phonearena phototest. Clearly Z2 did terrible here. Blurry all the way.

So i wasnt shure if this was a technical problem, or a software problem. Did some tests myself, taking same shot with superior auto, full manual (resized to 8mp), and google stock camera app. And heres what I found out:
Look at the bins closely. Especially the lid. Google's stock camera has most detail and did better than Sony's own optimized one! Thats a bit shocking, isn't it?
I took some more shots that day using the superior auto, and guess what - they all came out very different, even though they were shot in completely same settings. What happened with the so "softening" of the images is what I believe is distortion correction. When sony's own software tries to fix that distortion, its blurs the image slightly in some parts of the image (depening on where it wants to corrects the distortion).
here's the test - couple of shots in auto + one in manual. And the result:
I just hope sony's going to fix their algorithms and provide a little update to their camera later on. Now I need to take 3-4 shots everytime to get the sharpest out of my shot, hoping the software will not "fix" down the picture it took.
Cheers All.
Hey, I've been getting this problem for a while now.
Decided it was time to do something about it. In advance: sorry about the legs.

Notice the very obvious weird rainbow lines.
Pretty sure it only happens in my room. It may be my fluorescent lightning.. It may be a lot of things.
I just want to know if anyone else has experienced this ever.

ive xperianced around fluorecent lighting and high temp during/after 4k recording
i think most cameras have the fluorecent lighting thing, its evident when you point toward old lamp tvs with cameras

Ah ok then, fair enough.
Had a feeling it was something like that, from memory Fluorescent lighting strobes or flickers at a very low speed compared to regular light bulbs. While great for saving power (they run 16 hours a day) it clearly sucks heavily for cameras.
Anyway, thanks for confirming that for me.
Is there any way to disable the optical image stabilization on an Android device? Preferably S9 as that's what I'm using, not sure if this is a thing that can be done on rooted Android devices?
I'm using it with a full frame fisheye lens as an action cam (like GoPro) with a chest harness and so far it works great, I think the quality is a lot better than GoPro (especially at night) and the lens is wider too, but there's one kind of big problem because it is using OIS and it was not designed for bigger shakes it actually ruins the image for a split second, it seems the OIS shifts the lens out of focus whenever the phone is shaked a bit hard - you can test this with your phone by shaking it forward-up-down and then playing the video back frame by frame, it is very noticeable anyway.
So what I was hoping is that by disabling the OIS (it seems to be controlled electronically and tries to compensate for the shake) it could hopefully maybe fix this, although I'm not very optimistic by this, there are moving parts in the hardware but what I noticed is that if I shake the phone without the camera app open, the camera makes more noise/moves more versus when the camera app is open, so maybe just maybe there is a way to mod the electronic part to hold it into place all the time?
Here is a gif of an example of what happens when you shake the phone, please note that this is not motion blur, but it is actually out of focus when that happens, it is exactly the same result whether I use it in very bright lightning conditions or low.

I was really happy with the results with this phone and the fact that you can edit and share content right away, would be great to solve this problem! By the way I'm using it with a Blackeye Pro Fisheye G4 lens if anyone is curious.
Hi everyone.
So i just got my hands on p20 pro, 2nd hand (pre-loved, as some socialites call it ?), and so far i'm loving it.
I'm considering of installing a physical lens protector cap, like this one:

but i noticed it doesn't have holes in between 2 top lenses, where there should be an autofocus laser transmitter-receiver set.
I tried looking up more info on how the laser autofocus works and affects the process of taking picture, but so far found none. So I thought of asking about it here.
So my question is, how useful is the laser autofocus, and what will happen if I cover it with the lens cap? Will the camera stop working (like if I cover the second camera, the phone says, 'please don't cover the lens), or the autofocus speed slows down, or maybe no changes at all?
Also, why is there no HDR mode? Is the night mode essentially means HDR mode?
Thank you in advance.
Laser autofocus helps a lot with focusing and keeping the focus on moving objects
The HDR mode is actually VIVID/SMOOTH in the tiny box i think

Hi, sorry for the (very) late reply.
Ah okay, I thought so too (that covering the lasers would hinder in AF ability), so I went with a glass cover instead for the cameras.
Thank you very much.
