Hi Guys,
I made a 2 part video comparing my HTC One X with the Samsung Galaxy Note... Hope it will be useful
These are just my 2 cents
Ash
I really liked ur video...How was the white brightness on both and the contrast?

The one x was brighter bro but the notes got better blacks
Was wondering how the GPSs was on both phones. HTC is well-known for having great antennas in their phones whereas the Note (as well as GS2) have questionable GPS(but still better than GS1). Thoughts? How is the headphone audio for both phones? Which ones louder, better quality or both are relatively the same?
So far, you've nailed a lot more topics than expected. Those are 2 I actively look for in phones so some clarification would be appreciated.

And what about the COLOUR SATURATION and CONTRAST?Does the onex looks like WASHED out when compared to note like all other ips panels?
I am really in a big problem of buying a phone,and My preference is not colour accuracy,what i want is the awesome contrast and the poping colours of amoled.Thats why i am a bit inclind towards the note and also its BIG screen! !
Heres a link:-
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1606636
On the above link the screen of onex looks more saturated than note
How is this possible that too to a ips panel?
I heard a lot abot its pentile,resolution isnt what should a 720p should show blah blah,,,,does it affect that much?My uses will be gaming,watching videos,browsing etc but NOTMUCH ebook reading.
BTW me too from india
I think the size of the screen of G Note makes the difference! For better I mean
Nice!
I think one x will be better than galaxy note if htc fix the browser bug

They are different.... especially in terms of size. galaxy note is huge and I would't use it as my primary phone .

GPS - Sorry bro, havent checked really so no idea on that and my htc is in the service centre so I cant check it now
Headphones - With bt headsets the HTC is of better quality (by a very thin margin) but as far as volume goes both are almost equal, I cant tell the difference as to which ones louder...
Hope I helped bro

Hah glad to meet a fellow indian
I know on paper the full rgb of the htc is superior to the note but I dont find the note inferior in anyway and for movies and games the true blacks of amoled just makes everything pop and I love it... the one x is amazing outdoors, the whites are better... its definitely a brighter screen.... I love em both but for movies theres no phone that id choose over the note

Hi guys,
I'd love to have read some users' impressions about SGS3 video recording quality, specially if there is any stutter, or focus bump. Is its technology so good that it can be compared to a camcorder or video-reflex in some way? Thanks a lot

Thanks for the feedback!
Really useable vid camera, seems a lot crisper than my s2 was, plus whilst videoing
u can snap great pictures at the same time
i am very happy with it.
on the whole the camera seems to blur the crossover between dedicated point and shoots and phones. if i really need a good shot then i'll bring an DSLR but for all other stuff this will do fine.
It works great, but the video is very compressed. Could be better if compressed less I guess. Pictures are very good, when it is bright enough. The flash (LED) is very powerfull!
Does anyone with s3 also have a one series I was thinking about getting the one s but might just wait for white s3

Uhm... anyway i believe it can resolve a lot of detail (i compared video stills from gsmarene video comparison tool).
The only thing I'm a little concerned about now is dropped framerate or focus hunting...
I may seem nagging but I have a video project in mind with smartphones and so need some information .
Thanks!
I found a couple of G2 photosets on flickr. They look better than the older leaked photos.

Post any other pictures and videos you may find. I know some of you suckers already have the G2 from AT&T. Let me see what you're made of.
Thanks for the links! I am very interested to see how the camera compares to the Note 3. And these pictures look pretty good!
I was definitely going to get the Note 3 until I read it doesn't have OIS, now I am considering the G2... And the price is pretty good also. Only $575 off contract vs $725 for the Note 3 on AT&T.
Yes, those pics look awesome!!

No it doesnt, Note 3 has digital image stabilisation.
Yep, and in my opinion there is HUGE difference between that and hardware OIS...

Well I saw this yesterday
http://www.phonearena.com/news/Camera-shootout-Note-3-vs-Galaxy-S4-vs-G2-vs-iPhone-5-vs-One_id47239
I can't find any definitive proof that the Note 3 doesn't have OIS. The O in OIS stands for optical, so there is no such thing as a digital OIS. That's just simple image stabilization, without the O.
Nvm. Poopoo it doesn't have it. I wasn't planning on getting it anyway. No one bothers to mention it besides dpreview. At least I can rely on them to get the camera specs right.
http://connect.dpreview.com/post/7967117746/hands-on-with-samsung-gaalxy-note-iii
So far the LG G2 is my fallback plan. The Xperia Z1 has established itself as having an awful camera, and screen, and is big and heavy for a small 5". The Note 3 is more of the same. I am sick of my cheap ass built Note 2 with squishy cover. No plans to upgrade to the same thing. My only hope is the Oppo N1 comes out to be amazing, and has a killer camera. All other companies have laid out their disappointing hands.

There are already a bunch of shootouts and comparisons out there. The HTC camera has only 4MP so it looks blurry no matter what. It couldn't compare to 8MP cameras, much less the newer 13MP ones right now. HTC also has very bad processing with weird colors and heavy sharpening and noise removal. It was one of the best low light shooters on Android, but the G2 can compete with OIS, and has much better resolution.

Most of the pictures I've seen are from reviewers, not average users and that's what I'd like to see.
Just because the HTC One only has 4mp doesn't automatically mean blurry... I'm a crap photographer which I'll readily admit and I've got some great shots on the HTC One by just pointing and clicking. Here are a couple examples... If the G2 can do better, I'll be really happy with it! I'm tempted to head to an AT&T store this morning.

You are right in a way. I have HTC One too but pictures become blur as you start to zoom-in because it is only 4MP. Whereas 13MP on the other hand has 3 times more detail in the picture. And to make the point clear, in a common user perspective G2 can blow HTC one out of water (in camera).
A quick pic I took in my office yesterday. Auto settings, didn't change anything.

Some pics from yesterday, not really trying just pointing and shooting. Also i had changed my lcd density without setting the xposed framework to put the camera back at 480 so auto focus was confused the entire time.

Those look really good for just point and shoot! Thanks!

Hi to all,
We all love V30. We all wait LG V30 and real photo/video comparison. V30 is the phone with all good things. And the main thing what are we waiting for is camera.
So I search to see witch camera did V30 have and it is Sony IMX351, with 1,6 aperture, with 1pixel size. This means that small pixel is not so good for low lightcand for the details. V30 will catch photos without noise because 1.6 aperture but not so much light in the dark because 1 pixel size. And this camera sensor Huawei P10 use it for front camera. This make me a big disappointed. Why they use a average camera? The competition (Samsung, Google, Appel) use camera with big pixels.
Last night I watch google pixel 2 and how DXOMark write the best phone camera on the market.
Samsung and Appel have very good camera.
Where here is V30? In the middle? Or near like them?
So what you think? Is this camera sensor very bad or not? Is Possible to V30 with software make very good camera?
P. S. And OIS is veey bad on V30, every video is shake so much. Is possible with updates to make OIS+EIS for better stabilization?

His channel is very popular, I don't think he would lie about the devices he compares. After the presentation of the pixel xl, testers could take the phones for a test ride outside. Also same way lg gave test units to some youtubers, that's how he can have both. So you can believe the credibility of this video although unfortunately front-facing camera is a disappointment an there's not much lg can do about that

I'll know soon enough. I ended up pre-ordering one from my carrier a few minutes ago. Says it'll ship anywhere between today and Monday. (Not that I trust that estimate but fingers crossed that it is true.) If it ships today and I have it in hand by the weekend, I have a standard set of tests I can run on it. Otherwise, hopefully it is still here so I can use it at a concert on Wednesday. I'm keeping my V20 so I'll be able to side by side with that.

We will see! I also frequent a dark jazz club a lot here in KC. So I have plenty of opportunities to test audio and video in the absolute worst conditions. I can tell you that the V20 mics using just the HD Audio app that it came up with picks up things pretty clearly. Unfortunately, it also picks up the other people in the club talking too. That's not a knock against the phone though. I'll be interested in seeing how the directional mics compare while recording video. Although, I still need to figure out those sliders.

Ha! I'm a bit of a photographer already. I shoot with a full frame DSLR and a smaller mirror less in addition to my cellphones. To tell you the truth, I only drag my DSLR out for road trips and special shooting conditions. At this point I do most of my shooting with smaller sensors like my mirror less or cellphone. DSLR sensors are too clinically clean for my tastes. I just reset my Flickr account settings so people can see which shots are done with which camera:

I will say that when I shoot, most of the shots are going to end up in B&W. That's just my shooting preference.

The information about the V30 is a bit confusing. I've looked my V20 over and over for the three mics it's listed as having and only ever saw two holes for mics, one on top and one on the bottom. In the JerryRig tear down of the V30, he does point out something interesting though. He points out the same two mics but then mentions that the phone's earpiece becomes a mic in very loud conditions. I'm guessing the V20 did the same then and explains why the sound when testing video recording sounds different than if I am just doing audio recording without video.
As for whether the mics are directional or not while recording video, I swear I saw one video where someone was demonstrating it on the V30. Only problem is that I've watched just about every V30 video on YouTube from a lot of the larger tech contributors that I will have a hell of a time trying to go back and look for it. I suspect it will be there.

In LG official web site, now they put info about camera. It is good it see that Slow Motion have 240fps at 720p. But too bad it is not 1080p...
LG V30 camera is phenomenal, Saw a comparison between the Galaxy Note 8, the LG V30 did a lot better, specially the rear cameras., LG V30 should have been released faster and for the DXOmark scores, the V30 should score higher than Galaxy Note 8.

Thank you! You mentioned that the audio recording quality changes between using the camera while on video vs recording only audio with the dedicated audio recording app on the LG, which one gets you the better audio and utilises the earpiece as a mic please? Are you able to record high pitches like a flute or sax on the high register and drum sets?

I finally grabbed my v30+ Korean version.

At a glance, your photos look like mine. The FFC is total garbage. Dumpster fire garbage. I come from a Lumia 950. Say what you want about windows, but those phones have a great camera. I have had to settle and adjust to my new reality. My wife still has a 950. I ask her to take the important pics. One good thing about the V30 though, it has manual settings. I would like to learn how to use manual better because amazing things can be done with this V30, then.

You should try Google Camera port. It has good HDR+ mode and Raw for post processing.
I'm using the latest version from this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-3/how-to/modded-google-camera-hdr-60fps-video-t3658552

At a glance, your photos look like mine. The FFC is total garbage. Dumpster fire garbage. I come from a Lumia 950. Say what you want about windows, but those phones have a great camera. I have had to settle and adjust to my new reality. My wife still has a 950. I ask her to take the important pics. One good thing about the V30 though, it has manual settings.

You're right, I actually spent like 5 minutes for adjusting the manual camera, and got a better result than default setting photos. But we can't spend that much time every time, note 8 and pixel 2 xl cameras are amazing, I thought V series were supposed to bring the best camera performance under every circumstances

I was going to tell him the same thing. I have it, it does not impress me either.

I am on the Oreo beta program. From what I reckon. Improvement has been done when it comes to the noise in low light shots.
It might be by imagination, since I cant exactly pop the same shot twice and compare. But from recollection, I would say that it has improved.

I hope so. I believe that LG has the ability and know-how to improve. I also hope that HDR for Netflix begins to work correctly after the update.
