GS4 camera is far better than ip5

I like it!

Camera looks really good in photo and video but it need better stabilization!! The video looks very shaky. Oh Nokia shold make Android too. :( i have lumia 920 and it is amazing! but WP 8....

Do a comparison with HTC One. Since the One performs better than iPhone5 and Lumia 920 I'd like to see how S4 stacks up against it.

One is not even close to 920 or iphone 5. It lost to 720.
The thing is that there are too many iphone haters on this site. When iP5 vs One comparison was posted, everyone quickly jumped to the conclusion that One was better, which is clearly not the case. Have a look at the comparison GSM Arena did with the same set of photos and you'll realise that the comparisons here at PA are not even close the level of comparisons done at GSM Arena.

Lumia 920 was better than HTC One!!! It's clear for me in this review. Look again for the photos and don´t read the bad conclusions.

A couple of things:
1st, never choose a site who name is the same as the company they are promoting (Nokia-.allaboutsymbian.com).

2nd. Make sure the person(s) who is taking the picture stands in the same place and use the same distance shot; look at all the HTC One, the picture is a real close shot, while the Nokia brands are not zoom in...hahahahaha

3rd Since Nokia ONLY has great camera as a feature, maybe they should get out the phone business and open up a Camera shop!!...; I mean for real, you Nokia guys ALWAYS talk about the Camera , can we please talk about another features..OMFG!!

The iPhone 5 images look better and the video looks much more stable.

No, look the guy's hand holding the phone. It is really pixelated on the iphone. The s4 seem ok.

SIV to iPhone 5 : Guess who has blueish tint now ! :P

13. hung2900 posted on 14 Mar 2013, 22:25 2

But in an iPhone sample I can sê Michael Fisher of Pocketnow.com clearly. lol
Anyway the icr@@p camera is no where near GS 4 camera.

25. HansP posted on 14 Mar 2013, 23:24 4

More importantly, the Samsung records with stereo sound! Wohoo!

31. rf1975 posted on 15 Mar 2013, 00:27 1

Yes, but iPhone has only 8MP cam but to SGS IV has a 13MP cam. So better compare with Sony Xperia Z

It's not all about megapixels. More megapixels does not mean more detail.

46. pwnarena posted on 15 Mar 2013, 06:03 0

with the right setup, more megapixels actually mean more details. just don't associate it with those chinese cameras with insane megapixel ratings.

more megapixels mean larger photos. you may end up having a lot of noise but you can capture greater detail. if you want to lower the noise or fuzziness, just downscale the big photo and you'll get a better looking photo with good amount of details.

Actually, more pixels means more detail. But that doesn't mean that it would be a good photo. It only means higher resolution.

nope its like S4>iPhone 5 in every way!

53. HDShatter posted on 16 Mar 2013, 11:12 0

All we really need to know now is how does the screen compare to IPS, I know its a lot better than the note 2/s3 but can it compete with HTC's LCD 3 in color quality?

68. mydi.maus (unregistered) posted on 20 Mar 2013, 07:39 1

HTC ONE BETTER THAN THESE TWO.

41. chemhaz posted on 15 Mar 2013, 04:16 3

It sure does. It's known as the Smurf effect.

54. HDShatter posted on 16 Mar 2013, 11:14 0

Its hard to say 100% right now but the blue tint seems to be gone from the S4 screen :), only toke them like 4 years lol.

18. XPERIA-KNIGHT posted on 14 Mar 2013, 22:48 3

Yea me too , movement in between shots could have messed with the results lighting situations or something

28. alterecho posted on 14 Mar 2013, 23:48 1

Apart from the blue-ish tint produced by the iphone 5 in one of the shots, i'd say they they both have the same detail level.
As for the video, haven't seen it, so can't tell.

14. hung2900 posted on 14 Mar 2013, 22:30 1

Michael Fisher also:D

16. neutralguy posted on 14 Mar 2013, 22:35 3

struggle with the detail? What I see is that, if you zoom in on the screen of the s3 captured by both devices, you could a very sharp details from s4 while ip5 captures rather, soft details. try the 5th and 6th photos. :)

17. Hunt3rj2 posted on 14 Mar 2013, 22:45 5

Try the Samsung logo and the earpiece instead. S4 is clearly much more fuzzy.

19. neutralguy posted on 14 Mar 2013, 22:58 0

i think the cause of that fuzziness is the lighting that was directed on the earpieace and logo on the 5th photo. Try the sides of the s3(lower left photo). You can see that it is more refined compared to ip5. :)

also, try the other photos. consider lighting of the part of the pictures that have the same amount of light. :)

It seems like the iPhone 5 captures more detail

24. 007akshay posted on 14 Mar 2013, 23:19 2

apple is bluish u idiot cant u c....

27. HansP posted on 14 Mar 2013, 23:29 1

Are you commenting some images they didn't upload here? The iPhone struggles with the extreme contrast with the red background and the extremely bright table. And the Samsung has a stereo Mic. This one is a RSC win for the Galaxy S4.

34. Muayyad posted on 15 Mar 2013, 01:05 2

I don't think SGS4 will get any close to HTC One when it comes to sound or low light capture.

42. HansP posted on 15 Mar 2013, 05:16 0

As far as I know, the One records sound in mono like the iPhone? Try putting on some headphones and listen to the difference in the videos above. The mono sound makes it sound like he's sitting in a barrel while commenting the recording.

Your Note 2 has a problem. Mine is just as good as the S3.
