Smartphone photography has moved on, but Samsung is still stuck in 2021
Smartphone camera hardware has made major strides in the last few years, but you might not know it if you have a Samsung phone.
How about instead of making nothing in the phone decent except the camera, we put more memory in the phones and make them usable for actual computing
You think a phone with 512GB storage and 12gb RAM is lacking? Phones should be way faster and snappier with what resources they have, Android and iOS are just bad in using what they have available
These days phones have a lot of ram. It isn't uncommon to see a 4gb phone.
Yes, and it's very sad.
Because that's still very niche. Flagship phones have more than enough power for the vast majority of users and have done for years now. The cost/benefit analysis doesn't add up
Better not develop anything for the platform that needs any real processing power then, let's just keep phones as data harvesting tools and nothing more
Oh no we have lots of thermometers left over from Covid, how about we put them in your phone instead?
Just leave it be. How often do we need to increase the MP count of the sensor?! It's anyway an insanely small sensor.
Just make another Galaxy Camera ffs. Call it Galaxy Snap or something. Or the Pixel Snap. Or whatever tf you want. Just stop obsessing over changing stuff that's alright.
I've been a mid-range phone user since around 2018 or so. Don't really see any reason to get flagships.
The one area where mid-range devices do lag the flagships is camera quality.
Same here. I buy Xiaomi midrangers or their Poco devices. They have great hardware for the most part, and have amazing custom ROM support.
As for camera hardware, a surefire way to improve your picture quality is by using a GCam Mod for your device. You can check on Telegram if your device has a Photography group (search "devicename Photography" or similar words) OR you can search for your device on the official website for them.
I've reverted to buying the previous year's flagships now. When you do a side by side comparison the only real difference between last year's and this year's is £300-400.
Ugh, another opinion piece. They don't even have comparison images.
Probably part of someone's marketing budget at Apple.
I had a Galaxy S20 and the video recording was constantly choppy. I was very excited to get my Pixel 8 and the video is choppy. Am I just cursed or do these Android phones have a hard time with video?
You might be cursed. I've never noticed any choppy video and I was still on a pixel 4 until last week
Video is amazing on my s22. And I'm picky since I work professionally in video.
Going to pile on, I have a Samsung A73 and videos are fine.
Do you use some sort of custom settings?
