Which version of videos look better on the Nexus?
Do you record video in 720p or 1080p and why? Personally, I thought the 720p looked better, but I haven't had the time to do intensive testing yet.
I only use 720p because there isn't a place to put my 32 gb sd card.

So basically, you would use 1080p if you had a removable SD card. So, it is a storage limitation for you.
My problem is file size not storage space (I have VZN 32GB). With 1080p the file size is huge, so I stick with 720p
1080p to be able to view it in large screen.

Yeah, I hate having to constantly transfer files to my computer. If I need to a covert a 1080 to a 720, I have the software for that, but not to convert 720 to 1080.

In that case, I'll create a software to do that and sell it to people who believe in 'upscaling'.
It's not that big.
I find that there's no major difference between filming in 720p and 1080p, so I mainly use 720p since I have no huge screen to watch them on.
I would say that 720p looks better on the Galaxy Nexus, as it fits the phones native resolution. You can't fully enjoy a 1080p masterpiece without the screen to match, granted it will still be very high quality.

720 because 1080 is only 30fps

so 720 is 60fps? I thought both were 30fps
1080p. Goes directly onto Youtube. Then I download it from there. Faster than transfering it over slow ass MTP.

No, he made a mistake: 720 is 30 fps and 1080 is 24 fps.
Not sure if the Galaxy Nexus and the Epic Touch Galaxy S2 has the same camera or not, but on my Galaxy S2 I noticed that when I record at 1080p the video looks like it is zoomed in or cropped differently from 720p which is why I use 720p on my Galaxy S2.
With 50gb on box.net I'll just upload each video there for safe keeping. until needed.

1. it's no longer box.net, it's called box now, and their address is box.com
2. u r aware that box has 100mb file limit right ?
They have different cameras. I would think that this could affect the aspect ratio and the overall quality of the shots.
Personally I don't record video so I don't have a preference.
I noticed on mine that if I'm recording video with 720p and I touch the screen to take a picture, the picture doesn't look right. It's not framed correctly due to the resolution change. What I saw on the screen is not what I get on the picture.
But when I'm recording with 1080p, the picture looks like how it did on the screen.
I'm on rooted stock 4.0.4 Verizon Nexus.

Well, I will do some testing and make a post about it. Seems like there are a lot of mixed opinions here.

Well, there was a Netflix apk floating around (search is your friend) from the Droid Razr, however the app doesn't seem to play nice with 4.0.3+ at the moment. If you are running a 4.0.2 rom or lower, you can use that. Otherwise, we have to wait for someone to mod the HD apk to work with 4.0.3+ ROMs or for Netflix to update their own app. Also, the Droid RAZR apk doesn't go full screen either.
Netflix doesn't seem very high definition even when streamed over wifi on my laptop or monitor. You're not missing much.

lol HD video on a mobile phone why?? Average 720p is about 2-3gb no thanks waste of bandwidth. You won't see all those details anyway unless you're a show off ....

Because some of us have unlimited data plans still, and IMHO HD videos on this phone actually DO look really solid, depending on the source of course. Then again, I'm also just a huge show off
i'm not sure what you mean, mattskeet. watching youtube on HD vs SD is apples and oranges on the nexus. I could happily watch a 90 minute HD movie on nexus screen
Netflix and gameloft have crappy methods of showing support rather then just throwing the APK out there in the market.

Netflix has the potential to have great image quality. My Apple TVs and PS3s allow for 1080p video and 5.1 audio.
Netflix only allows HD on devices with locked boot loaders afaik. Nook tablet has HD as well.

netflix's hd quality is amazing on my computer too, if its bad quality its cause the connection is too slow. you need about 15-20mb/s to get the best quality.
is there any update on this? just saw the new netflix on the play store but it still doesnt have 702p. does the hacked apk work for 4.0.3 or 4.0.4 yet?

That is not true, there is zero difference in Netflix quality on a GN with a locked bootloader vs. and unlocked one.

This is also not true, you don't need anywhere near that bandwidth to get great quality.
You need 8Mbps for 1080p video with 5.1 Dolby Digital Plus audio.
Regardless, I get 25Mbps on my home connection and my phone, Apple TV, and PS3s are all connected to the same network, so that rules out network conditions.
I remember reading somewhere that it is a software limitation and the Razr got a special version to showcase the HDMI 720p streaming out on the device.
When I had my RAZR HD Netflix looked amazing. You can see so many details especially facial details. Skintone, facial stubble etc. Would be nice to have on the Nexus since it has a HD display. GG unlimited data .
I will start first:
Maybe 5"-5.3" screen.
1080p Display
12mp camera
3mp front camera
1.8ghz quad core
2.5gigs ram

I don't know why they would really bother with 1080p display or anything, it is already to the point where normal people can't distinguish the difference in resolution between super high end devices.
No, I don't need a higher resolution screen, I need a more adaptable screen with brighter, realistic colors that still manage to POP. A screen that works just as well outside in the sun as inside in the dark.
Improve the technology we have rather than constantly trying to develop new ways to do what we do that aren't really much, if any, better and are even worse sometimes.
Galaxy s4 will most likely have similar specs to the Galaxy s3.

5-5.3 in screen? That's Note territory, I think the screen will stay the same size.
I don't care about megapixels, 8mp is prefect for me. Now it would be awesome if they had better quality optics and optical zoom....

don't mind if they stay at 8MP, just better sensors and optics(MP just means a larger image)

Tegra 3? Tegra 3 will be old news this time next year. Anyway, why would Samsung use Tegra 3 when it has Exynos?
the same form factor with the following improvements:
newer display tech
22nm (or better) processor tech
software
all leading to improved battery life and performance
radio speeds wont really get much better, 4g networks are still being improved next gen networks wont be up and running yet. with the same screen size, anything over 720p wont be required. focus will be on code and power efficient tech to improve battery life and os speed.
- 5" bezel-less non-pentile AMOLED
- 2GHz quad-core
- 4GB RAM
- laser beams
- pink unicorns
I want an updated camera and optics. F2.0 and beats iPhone 4gs's camera in every way. I want studder free record and playback of 1080p recording. I also want a mic with built in auto level control so no more distorted vid audio.
4.8 inch screen, super amoled plus, Dual core A15 Exynos and the new Mali Gpu ( I hope)!!! and more motion features tho I don't know what else they can add but you never know!

Why note 8 don't record in 1080p ?

I was told because of the lack of storage capacity. The gtn8 only has 9gbs avaliable before you even add anything to it and it doesn't write it to the sd card

Just want to add that the Note 8.0 i have writes images and video to my SDCard, camera-app even asked if i wanted to save to SDcard when i started it.
Guess the guy at the Samsung counter in Best Buy was wrong. I haven't tried it myself.
I Was just going off what they told me there When I asked. Though it's not surprising as I knew more about the note 8 than he did.

Wow just took a video. Sure enough it installed it so the SD card. My pics are written there too.
Samsung needs to train their sale people better.

But the processing power of the Note Eight is clearly sufficient to record 1080p Videos because my Nexus 7 2012 is able to play [email protected] Video recorded with a Note 3. And the Note 8 has as much processing power as the Galaxy Note 2, which is pretty much sufficient for [email protected] recording. My Note 3 is also able to play [email protected] and [email protected] recorded from a 6s. I wonder why Samsung hasn't enabled it to record in that Framerate.

It doesn't have a flash either, and it's likely because it's a tablet, and most people don't use their tablets for photos or videos. It would be a useless feature for the vast majority of Note 8 owners. Most companies and likely Apple as well, treat the camera on their tablets as an afterthought.
It'd be cool if it did! ?
Good friends, Hard are is that you can as the Samsung Galaxy alpha has the same processor and GPU. ..the you can record 1080p 60 fps and 4K with some mod? greetings and thanks

You need a 13mp camera for 4k last I knew. The Tab S all have only an 8mp. The 1080p 60 maybe possible but there could be a hardware issue there as well since tablets get lesser cameras.

4K is less than 8 MP. Problem is that the part of the SOC used for image processing is probably not fast enough for 4K video.

We actually have a mod that enables 60fps 1080p video. I tested it and works.
However there is a considerable bug. Using this mod, we cannot record slow motion
video. Neither 120fps nor 240 fps.
