Samsung Galaxy S III gets 30Mbps 1080p video thanks to a software tweak
If you have a rooted Samsung Galaxy S III, here is a neat trick that you might want to check out, especially if you are into shooting videos. Custom ROM maker hyperX has developed a software modification that allows superfine 1080p video to be captured at 30Mbps, thus theoretically increasing its quality even further.

Those who find that a bit of an overkill can select the 24Mbit fine mode, or the normal 1080p mode at 19Mbps. In addition, the 720p video modes have been tweaked, so superfine footage is captured at 19Mbps, while the fine and normal settings adjust the bit-stream to 15 and 10Mbps respectively. No matter what mode you pick, audio is recorded at 192kbps. If that is not enough, the developer is working on enabling 60fps video with his mod, although his efforts have been unsuccessful so far.

The modification adds a few minor tweaks as well, such as the ability to launch the camera during calls, and to take photos while shooting video by pressing the either of the volume keys. Interested? Then follow the source link below to learn how you can add these goodies to your Samsung Galaxy S III. Be aware, however, that the procedure is not for novice smartphone users and it might void your warranty, so proceed only if you know exactly what you are doing.

Oh, too late to edit... I meant the best camera phone, not the camera only...
And I forgot nokia 808 too...

the difference between the 2?
tens of millions are going to buy the SGS3, tens of tens are going to buy the Nokia.

How does the SGS3 camera compare to the HTC One X?

I agree with you Abdane..
What's the benefits you will get when you jailbreak your iPhone?
- cuztomization
- third party apps
- some performance & software tweaks

That's the basic things you can do on non-rooted Android devices.

That's why i'm always confused when iPhone users always say that Jailbreaking is a lot better than Rooting.. lol

Don't know any iPhone users that say "JBing is better than Rooting", but I do hear a lot of "JBing makes the iPhone so much better." Makes you wonder what it's like without JBing.

You will find many of them on Jailbreaking vs Rooting articles or threads.. They are really annoying, they just say Jailbreaking is easier & a lot better than Rooting without telling any reasons..

12. bangkokbobby posted on 06 Jun 2012, 09:43

because they have iPhones in their pocket...even tech writers...not all but many of them will not say that an Android feature is better than an "equivalent" iOS feature if their personal product of choice is an iPhone...

thats pretty cool. now lets see a side by side with a regular camera setting vs the tweaked one to see if its really any different.

You can do this to the sensation with a 20mbps or 40mbps 1080p video. Makes a big difference.
