When I flip my camera to slow motion, the resolution takes a huge hit. I'm not talking about the 720p that Samsung claims it records in. As soon as I press the record button, the resolution drops to totally unacceptable levels (honestly looks like 360p). The resulting video is absolute garbage. Is there something wrong with my phone? Or is this how it's supposed to look? I'm afraid it's the latter, because my wife's S6 looks the same when recording in slow motion.

Slow motion video quality is garbage. It looks bad on mine too, looks like the ones recorded by the GS4 with 2 years old technology.

That just boggles my mind. The slow motion on my first generation Moto X from 2013 honestly looks better than what I'm getting on the S6 Edge. That's crazy. God, I hope Samsung is working on this (for the incredibly rare and almost non-existent times that I use it).
Yes, slow motion is beyond horrible. It's like 240 or 360p upscaled. Really awful.
any fix available?
is there any fix available for the bad quality?
samsung can't fix it
The truth is that samsung is not able to improve slow motion quality on galaxy s6.
Either the chip is too weak or Samsung developers are too bad!
Why put such a feature though it's useless?
That's a shame!

guys!! i freaked out like all of you too but then i found out the reason for "poor" "upscaled" (and whatever you say!) slow mo quality..
by default when u record a slow mo and play it.. it plays at 1/8 speed... thats why u see such poor quality...
Now here's the solution:
1. Record ur slow mo
2. Open the video
3. Hold and press down the highlighted slow mo part i.e between the sliders.. you will see a pop up which shows a rectangular trim box and 1/8.
4. Select 1/8 and you will see 1/2,1/4 and 1/8 options..
5. Now select 1/4 and play the video
Tadaaaa!! now you have epic slow mo video!!
i have samples but i have poor internet speed so if you guys want i can upload it on youtube but it will take some time..

But we speak of image quality instead.
the sgs6 (nor the note 5) can't record slow motion with good image (frame) quality. That's a shame. iphone 5s does it absolutely better.

Has the SIII a slow motion camera like the htc one x?
It has alot of functions, but don't think so. Would be cool though!
In the camera filming mode the only options you get are: edit shortcuts, self recording, flash, recording mode (normal or MMS size), exposure value, timer, effects (negative, b&w, sepia), resolution, white balance, outdoor visibility, anti shake, guidelines and video quality.
Hope it helped!
sure helped!no slow motion for galaxy sIII
there's some apps but they are not working..
The thing is that the camera itself records just 30 frames per second, that's just over the comfortable zone of smoothness (you need around 60 for a good slow-mo). I don't see how apps could help with this one since the speed of the sensor matters here.
galaxy s3 camera lens has the capability of doing slow motion videos @ lower resolution, wait for the mods.

Just download the Note 2 Camera mod here by HyperX and flash it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1691145
It comes with 1/8 speed slow motion (12.5% speed ~ 1 second recorded is 8 seconds video) and it's working for me. Make sure to read the thread first to make sure you got the right software first.
Good luck buddy!
IT--
Note 2 has slow motion!
Maybe someone will be good enough to liberate the slow motion from the Note 2 to other platforms ))

So I have uploaded two video's to YouTube.
I have recorded both of these videos on the LTEEvo with the 1080 settings turned on.
When uploaded, it seems to only be uploading at max 480p.
This last video I uploaded of me testing out the LTEEvo Slow Motion Camera Option (Which is freaking bad ass) only uploaded at 360p.
Any idea how to fix this / set it to upload at 1080p?
If you want to see the slow motion video:

I look like a bad ass walking away from the camera, but then I ruined it by hopping around like a little hoe.
The lighting is a bit bad. I just had a single window in the kitchen and I had no lights on.
I was just seeing if it actually worked.. I am very impressed with it.

Yeah, I realized that after I thought about the actual process I had to go through to make "fake" slow motion.
You can tell by watching the video that the quality is degraded a bit by adding so many more frames/p sec.
Oh well, the option and the result is still pretty damn sick.
Awesome, with that look on your face then a shirt that says pillage naked... Nice vid man I felt like the haduken was coming right at me too... I am surprised the slow mo is so fluid.
Hey Guys,
G2 has another feather in the cap, G2 tops the charts as best Android Camera Smartphone in Phone Arena Comparison. It matches iPhone 5S, though 1020 was omitted. So it pretty much confirms G2 is the second best camera phone in the market right now

Not only that! The LG G2 is also the highest rated smartphone in PA's (for those who might not know, PA is a popular mobile news & reviews site: PhoneArena.com) history with a score of 9.4 out of 10. The LG G2 beats the Samsung Galaxy S4 which was the previous highest rated smartphone. The only negative aspect of this phone (according to PA) is the lack of a microSD port. But if you get the 32 GB version, you're set. Many of the top smartphones don't offer external memory via microSD; HTC One, Apple iPhone, etc.
LG G2 on PA with specs and rating: http://www.phonearena.com/phones/LG-G2_id7969
Can't wait for my 32 GB version to arrive next week
Sorry, but even as I own an LG G2, I cannot agree with PhoneArena. The LG G2 nighttime video is awful (shutter speed too low, heavy noise reduction, no details at all), and in daytime video there is constant autofocus hunting, as you can see (although the image is very detailed).
iPhone 5s is clearly the winner, it has no obvious flaws. And the G2 does not even come in second.
LG G2 camera produces outstanding results in daylight photos, this is true. But there are significant bugs in the video processing that need to be corrected via a software update ASAP. Even night time still photos suffer from too much noise reduction.
PS: I read that LG is PhoneArena's biggest sponsor.

Yeah i have to agree i really like the g2 but the camera has serious problems with focusing and shutter speed issues that badly affect picture clarity. I really hope that the camera issues are due to poorly optimized software and can be fixed in an update.
I just watched a few iphone 5s vids. Showing camera and video. The autofocus while recording on the iPhone is terable. So much blur when changing what your looking at. The photos are nice. It low light are about as in impressive as ever other phone. I'm well aware that my phone is a phone first, camera second. but, with a few tweaks here and there. this phone takes amazing photos and great video. Yeah it has its shortcomings so does every single phone on the market. Adjusting shutter speed and the iOS are the key features to great photos
Sent from my VS980 4G using xda app-developers app
Totally agree G2 camera blows the other phones camera out of the water. Current only the new iphone and the new lumia phones can compete with the G2 regarding camera
I also think people might need to try to tap the screen on different portions of what they are taking a picture of. I learned quickly that the camera on this phone adjusts to room lighting AND the darkness/brightness of what you're taking a picture of.
So, if I'm in a bright room and I set the focus to something dark, THEN I get the washed out effect. But, if I'm in a bright room and I put the focus on something just as bright, then the camera adjusts to near perfection.
AND put it in reverse if I'm in a dark room. Set it to focus on something bright. (basically just tap the viewer on a bright or dark item and see how the camera will change automagically (I meant that word automagically lol)
That has helped me get much better pictures easily.

I am curious to see that article you read. Could you provide a link?
I've been a PA avid reader (i go through every single article or at least have a peek at the main ideas if i'm in a hurry) since a few years. The one thing that really put me off was permanent display of Samsung Galaxy flagship phones at the top of the page, right above the Featured Stories section. The Samsung Galaxy S3 got a permanent spot there for the whole year and eventually S4 joined its older sibling for a very lengthy stay in that bar, which qualifies as nothing short of advertisement for Samsung. It really got me riled up every time i saw the main page and when i pointed that out on YouTube to one of their reviews about the Galaxy S4 besting every other smartphone, my comment got topped up to over a hundred likes. People were finally noticing and PA eventually made some slight changes, but still today, you can pretty much guarantee that you'll see the top Samsung products displayed as a "versus another product" or "review" at the top of the page. As for LG, i never noticed any of its products being advertised on PA. Actually, the G2 just released and despite a great rating, it has only managed to secure a spot at the far right of the page, ready to drop out of the headlines at the next mobile device release.

They rated G2 a 9.4 mate, which is pretty high. That said i am not sure how LG is a sponsor as some rightly pointed, all i see is Apple and Samsung on the main page, be it featured stories or main page.
As a matter of fact it seems like a story of some butt hurt fan of maybe HTC one, whose strongest selling point Camera is the worst.
Anyone noticed the audio quality of the videos taken with all the phones and the camera?The quality of the Lg audio is eons ahead of them all including the supposedly great audio quality of ONE.The audio chip and the mics of G2 are amazing.

Are we supposed to put the phone near a speaker in full blast,in our everyday use?That kind of comparissons are idiotic at best...When i record a video with crystal clear audio with G2 and the I5s will record a muted low sound,will you be proud that it can do better when you put it near a speaker in full blast? lol Also the G2 is extremely sensitive and pic up noises that other phones cant..thats good and bad,depends on the situation.

Some people enjoy going to concerts and all you know... Sometimes they want to record a video of (a piece of) it. And pretty often the sound goes to crap in those situations, so wouldn't call this kind of stuff "idiotic at best". It all depends on what you use it for.

Putting the phone near a speaker it doesnt emulate a concert at all.The G2 pic up noises that i5s cant this is why its more fuzzy at times.If the sound is crap G2 will pic up a crappy sound,cause it records what is there...Sure it can be good and bad,but its prefferable at least for me,when at 90% of the situations i will use it,the sound will be great,instead of having a sub par sound,that will only be usefull at the 10% of my use (concerts and all)
PA's reviews are continuely garbage. Their ranking system has no repeatability, their test methodology always has flaws. Might as well look at Gizmodo's or Engadget's 'seat of the pants' reviews.
I mean, I do hope it’s just me...but I see something really weird in almost any 4K video recorded with Mate 20 Pro....or at least with the one where there’s a sort of rapid panning: it seems like there’s a “stripe” of video at the panning direction edge whenever there’s a rapid “panning” movement where the image is like deformed?!?!
I guess is something dealing with EIS or AI stabilisation, but I’m not sure. What I don’t understand is why no one talks about it. I mean, every review say the mate 20 Pro 4K video are finally stabilised but at what expense? I find those video to be terrible with the “deforming edge”....is it just me?!?!
Here you are an example of what I’m talking about
https://youtu.be/vKS1U56uj04
https://youtu.be/lGUiLgUv-CI (especially from minute 1.03 up to minute 3:00)
I do hope someone having the phone can eventually confirm what I saw.

It happens the same to me, Huawei told me that they are working on it, so you don't have to be worried about that, it's just like AI Vídeo modes ( they just doesn't appear in this pre release version), I'm afraid that we have to wait a couple of weeks more... I have to learn how to be patient! LOL

Look again. There are still stammers. Pay attention to the cars and see how the traffic is not smooth at all.
If they do not fix it, then shame on huawei and its flagship device.
Thats why im waiting before gettinng this device
It is likely because of stabilization.... try without stabilization...
When stabilizing video the camera only takes a smaller crop from the sensor and uses the information from the edges and gyro sensor data to calculate your movement then it can use that edge informatrion to smoothen out your video.
link to explanation
Due to the physical sensor being 4:3 format and the video being recorded in 16:9 there is still enough edge to work with top and bottom.
Left and right though the sensor has to be cropped, if they chose to crop only little than the stabilization algorithm does not have enough edge information to smooth out the movements and this jitter effect becomes visible.
That of course is only my explananation, i could be wrong

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 Note 10+ 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!
I quickly shot this and edited it on my Note 10 Plus this morning while at this event w/ the Beverly Hills Chamber of Commerce. I have to say for shooting on a cell phone I'm impressed as all hell.

Hello,
Very nice shots, smooth. What were your settings?
I personnally did not find the super-steady sharp enough, like if my exynos had a hard time interpolating the frames. Super steady has some kind of grains or pixels things like grain fog that i do not like much.
I prefer by far the use of optical stabilization only, HD 30p or even better with HD 60p.
Be able to go directly from ultra wide to wide, or to zoom, is so nice.
I barely use UHD.

I should have paid attention to my settings at that time. I do like UHD 60FPS more than the non 60FPS as you get a lot less ghosting while panning shots.
Sorry I don't have an exact answer for you though for that shot as I was in the middle of that event, just did some shots and threw that together while sitting down for 2 minutes. If I waited to do it at home later that day I'm sure I would have done a better job on the audio levels and a few cuts.

No pb, thanks for the answear. I feel same about 60p vs 30p ; i'd rather have less ghosting and smoother shooting than stabilization ; that's why i like HD 60p, best of both world when hand held:good:
It is so easy to make a film with a few rushes just on the note10+, i love that editing feature especially with s-pen.
This was shot tonight at an event and I just quickly edited it on my Note 10 Plus 5G while in my car.

Hello,
Just found out that "adobe RU for samsung" has a video recording feature, with manual settings.
Manual focus seems buggy to me, but the lock exposure is very nice.
Rush are added to gallery, i think there is no need to subscribe with monthly fee.
