Hi, Trying to upgrade to a very good selfie camera phone. I have seen very good photos of the rear camera but unable to find info or pics or reviews on the font camera. Will the Xperia X be a good buy just based on the front camera specs? Or anyother suggestions in a similar price band
i think it is good, sharp and bright images even indoors at night.
Got a lot of compliments about video quality when I was doing live video last time.

+1 I go with yeah too, the selfie camera is better than you would expect. Actually it's way better than what I personally need. Anyway, it's a very good front camera but if you really want the best sony selfie phone, go for the XA Ultra! It has the best as far as I know. Check out the X1,XA1 line of phones preferably, not the old line.
IF you want the best selfie on earth for 2017 - go for the XA Ultra. It uses the main Camera of the LG G4 - V10 on the front. Yes, you heard it right.
Exist better front cameras:

Xperia M4's rear cam is IMX214. Our front camera has the same IMX214)))
Also, it wasn't that bad. With some tweaks it was a good phone, sadly without custom ROMs

Based on Libraries and test between IMX214 (Xperia M4a) and IMX258 (Xiaomi Redmi Note 4x), our front CMOS could be the IMX258, ironically, this phone (Xperia X) use both libraries.

I am about to purchase my second tablet. Well, if you count an older model rooted Nook as a first tablet, that is. Been doing TONS of research & I have it narrowed down to the Z, Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014), and new Kindle HDX.
At the moment, the Sony is leading. I wish the screen were a little higher def, but you probably can't even tell the difference at some point. My main questions are about the camera & internal speakers.
- Does the rear facing 8 MP camera have video capability? Is it 720 or 1080?
- Where are the speakers located? They are on the back of my Nook which makes them really hard to hear, especially if the unit is sitting flat.
I wish there was a "one size fits all" tablet, but it is a series of tradeoffs regardless of which direction you turn. Thanks in advance for any tips.

The rear facing camera can record in 1080p.
The tablet has 2 speakers, with four grills. Each speaker is located in the bottom corners of the device (consider the Sony logo in the right position, i.e. device in landscape). The grills are located in the side and bottom corners of devices.
Look at this image I made: The circle says more or less where the speakers are, and the arrows point to where the grills are.

So they are rear facing like the Nook? May be only choice due to front glass, but I thought I saw a tab somewhere that had them on front. Just can't remember which one. Looked at WAYYY too many!

It has both front and back facing cameras. Back one is 8 MP, 1080p. Front one is 2.2 Mp, 1080p also.
And the speakers are side facing, not rear.
I meant speakers, not cameras. Sorry about that
Has anyone tried it or seen some friend using this ?

I believe this should also work for our G3 if it does for the S5.
It even supports macro mode if you rotate the lens.
Looks promising.
Also looking for a wide angle kit for rear camera something like ~120 deg. But not for macro rather for action video shots 5-10 meters (15-30 feet) from the subject. Can someone recommend a decent kit?
Is the laser AF affected by the external wide angle kit?
Does anybody know what angle is the rear camera, can't find this info anywhere?
Any chance for a sample shot with the wide angle lens from above kit.
This gets good reviews on Amazon and Blunty likes it.

One wide angle it need a bit zoom to remove the black surround all others are micro.....i found this the most useful..
I am a beta tester from China
I have used the new OnePlus 2 for a few week
Ugly design, but the crafting is good
Thicker body, but feel good in hands
Camera has OIS, but not Sony sensor
Home button with fingerprint sensor, not quite sensitive
Oxygen OS not finalize yet, lots of bugs
Prefer OnePlus One more ...
Enjoy the hands-on pics! (shortened the "http" )

Not sure if you're talking the truth,
but since this is the first time I see those leaked pictures **** must be kind of true.
Pls tell me it has SD card slot
Looks like a dog, but not as bad as the TENAA leaks, but way short of any wow factor the One had. OP are really going to have to market this to get any longevity out of this Samsung/LG mishmash
SD card?
And how is the temperature?

Is there a Lite model or just a OnePlus 2?
Does it have an IR Blaster?
How is the sound quality of the speakers?
Is that a mute switch on the side of the device?
Looks just fine to me. What about the screen size and resolution?
Now you got me curious
That IR blaster question even more
Could you please post some full resolution sample pictures taken with the camera?
Does it still have a option for on screen navigation buttons?
Guys those are real but idk why they are leaked.
More pictures in high resolution?
This is just short beta preview, actually it means nothing, guys, just wait for full video preview, i think someone will make in next 24h after VR launch
Anyway it looks nicer than before
It's definitely sleeker than the original leaked images led us to believe. Based on what he just posted on the front page, this is the A2001, which is the lite version of the phone. The A2003 is the higher end model and will look somewhat different (potentially).
I edited the OP to make the links active - and it looks like there is an imgur album

What is that weird switch on the left of the body?

Best guess I've seen is a mute switch.
thanks @jerdog for fixing.
@chinaleakking - thank you for sharing -- can you describe what you mean by "not quite sensitive" ?
Does it have a micro SD card slot??? If so, this is definitely a 2016 flagship killer.

Would have prefered something more like this.

Will a willing G5 owner use AIDA64 and under devices identify what camera sensor LG employed in the G5? I want to buy this phone but want to know the camera is at least a small upgrade over the G4 like the S7 is over the S6

Didn't have the type of sensor listed and yes, the app is set to scan sensor info

If the G5 sensor is an upgrade over the G4 like "the S7 is over the S6" then I will not consider the G5. From everything I can see of the S7 it is most definitely a downgrade next to the S6.
Interested in this topic though
I think it's a better device than the G4. I never really loved the G4 but love this G5
Phonearena has both as 16 megapixels, Aperture size F1.8, Camera sensor size 1/2.6", Pixel size 1.12 μm, laser auto focus.
I played with the GS7 and Nexus 6p, MUCH better for dark scenes and the only time 16MP looks better is bright light. And only at full resolution zoomed in, if you upload it to FB or anywhere for that matter you will loose any advantage the 16MP camera has other then using digital zoom.
I've got some time ago this app for free and never really used and now I wanted to give a try with a JPG comparison and for my surprise it is way better than stock, in the attachment the samples.
This is the link for the app:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.riseupgames.proshot2
For the Proshot picture I shot in: JPG, P, ISO 50, no noise reduction, Detail turned off, IMG+ turned off, Topaz Denoise and Sharpen.
Proshot seems to be way better than stock, its a pitty it does not support 50mpx yet.

PROSHOT
STOCK
Wow.. look way sharper... Do you have any other comparison like outdoor? ppl?
There are many version of gcam available and not really complicated to install.
Is this better?
Hmmm, the stock image looks either out of focus or soft by motion blur... would it be possible to show other samples, also from other scenarios ? That would be great
Does Proshot support all lenses on the S23U ?
Both pictures where shoot in the same condition, I will try to do other test but the test shows detail and color rendition

The problem is that this is a painting so we have to point of reference in our mind as to how exactly it looks in real life. If you go out and take a picture of like trees and buildings, it's easier for us to compare. Though I agree that proshot does look sharp and nice! Just hard to tell if it's not too sharp compared to real life?

I will do more testing because in some test I did today seems that even if I disable in camera sharpening, the app applies sharpening. Other thing I found is noise pattern this camera creates that is more difficult to Topaz to remove (somethin that not happen with Canon for example) but I will arrive to a bette conclusion when I do more test.
What about ProShop post-processing? Will be great some examples of outdoors pictures vs stock cam...
As long as the RAW issue with ProShot on the S23U is not fixed this app is virtually unusable with this device.
When shooting RAW you always the the image from the 1x module even when using 0.5x, 3x or 10x.
At least the guys at Rise Up Games are aware and looking for a way to fix the issue.
Also video stabilization is not present or working on the S23U in combination with ProShot.
