I need a phone for my wife, camera speed is very important for her.
The only online video review i could find are based on the 2.3 (i think) OS and it seems that the sutter speed and the speed between shots are not so great. Did the things has changed with ICS?
Nothing has changed at all. U can use apps as camera replacement but if camera is important then I gotta be honest other phones are much better. Best thing would be go to store and use the phone.

Thanks for the answer. It sounds like a real sin, as i know that this model is really fast in everything else...
Can't have it all unfortunately.
On the plus side though, a DSLR is pretty fast

I have the galaxy nexus and it would be ideal: fast and with a fast camera.
Problem is I can't afford another one so i'll have to choose between two phones from koodo canada: galaxy s2x or htc one v.
Htc one v seems to have good fast camera but i'm concerne it's going to be laggy.

Absutely, it's a good camera for what i found out. But for her speed is more important then quality, as all the cameras are pretty good nowadays if you only need "facebook pictures". She's always complaining that she constantly miss "the moment" because her current camera on her phone is too slow.

If you could get a rezound you wouldn't rather get the nexus? Rezound is using our same Qualcomm S3 MSM8600 chip.
As a phone, the S2 is absolutely fantastic. Does everything I want it to do. As a carrier, I'm still on the fence with t-mobile. Data speeds are plenty fast, but data reception seems to be a mixed bag.
well... when it comes to Reception, that is really the nature of the AWS technology which requires 2 wide bands 1700+2100 for up and down to work
so building penetration is always a compromise

Now that I am on the Galaxy S2, I can tell you that it is by far the best phone that I have ever owned. Even stock, it is absolutely blazing fast. After I put beastmod on it, the thing just flies, and this is before OCing. Keep in mind that ICS is supposed to be able to utilize dual-core technology to it's fullest so when the update comes up (it's not a matter of if, it's a matter of when), our phones will be in for a nice tune-up. As for as internet speeds go, I can tell you that it is BLAZING fast. It is faster and more reliable than when I had my G2 (which was just last year).
I can't post pictures but I can tell you that the fastest I have ever gotten with my S2 (in the same service area that I tested my G2 just last year) is 31MBPS. For daily usage, I consistently get 7-14MBPS. I am downloading HD videos off of Youtube in a matter of 5-10 seconds. I am downloading and finishing music downloads as soon as it pops up in my notifications bar. The phone is fast in every way, and everything flows so well together. No lag, no hassle, it just works.
got my phone a few days back from my awesome girlfriend, amazingly fast, battery only lasts a day, from 9 till 6, as i always use data connection, 1850mhz, not much of juice for this 1.5 dual core monster, resolution is a draw back with this nice screen 4.52" i am talking about, only 480*800? meh, waiting for miui roms........ only alpha versions atm, touchwiz looks gay.
speaker is way better than i9000, louder at least! some people say they want metal back cover, i say hey, it is light!!! with this kinda size!
i would give 9 out of 10 for this phone, i wanna buy the sprint version, lol, cdma 2000. not available in china yet, too bad.
What app do I use to test for lines and blobs?

I was googling this photo attachment product i saw on gizmag.com called Mobi-Lens and i found a couple of posts on this site about it so i thought id share it.
Us Android users dont get much gadgets/photo-accessories... this seems legit, even if you own an different manufacturer then Samsung, im sure it will work.
I got a red combo $60, beats my friends $80 olliclip for his iPhone... PLUS he has to remove his case every time AND only use the back side camera... SUCKER haha.
Now i dont have to lug around my DSLR when i go hiking or biking for some nice scenic photos.
just search mobi-lens on kickstarter.com or google it.
Welcome! Ya this is one of the best if not the best forum for all things mobile specially Androids!
I checked the item you speak off before and its cool however ill wait till it goes onto production as it is still under kickstarter phase.
Nevertheless our S3s have some amazing camera options, just wish it had SlowMotion video i myself had a One S after my S2 before I had my S3 and that was the only reason I miss the one s lol

I had the Sensation, and then the Amaze before my S3. It's worth upgrading for the screen quality and the screen size. The Amaze screen is absolute **** compared to the screen on the S3. Otherwise, it's not dramatically faster, and honestly overall, not a much better phone, save for the screen. Is it better? Yes, but if I still had my Amaze and my upgrade today, I'd probably wait for the One X+ or the Note 2.

I've been an HTC guy for years, I've tried a couple of Samsung's (Galaxy S(fascinate), Galaxy Nexus,S4) and I keep coming back to HTC.
Personally, I can't stand anything bigger than the Rezound/Galaxy Nexus. I returned the S4 because I couldn't find a comfortable way to hold it. The DNA wasn't much better (gave to my mother after a week)
The HTC one is a perfect fit size wise, I honestly don't know how anyone can use the note's as a phone... Just too big.
I may be sticking with the HTC one for a Long time, I love the build quality, design and the size (as compared to all the phones on the market now)

I came from the S3 and so far, it's a very nice phone. I really like how it feels in the hand when you are talking and I like how I can swype with one hand. As far as speed, it doesn't really feel faster than my S3, they feel about the same. Sense is fine, I use Nova as my primary launcher. Battery is good, better than the S3. But keep in mind, it's not unlocked right now and we don't know if any devs are working on it.
I have watched a couple of videos and they say the phone doesnt lag at all. Is this true? I had the s4 for a couple weeks. It had some lag here and there. How much screen time do you guys get
Sent from my SCH-I605 using xda app-developers app
I've had 0 issues with lag on this phone, the speed is pretty staggering.
i've had the phone for a week and have been very impressed with it. Battery gets me through a day. its very fast as well i haven't noticed any lag.
I haven't seen any of these high end phones lag. I'm thinking some people just like drama. Great phone. Use my rule though be happy and make your purchase based on what is on the phone assuming it will never be unlocked. I've been pretty happy using the logic. I'm unlocked myself, but also happy running rooted stock sometimes.
Long time HTC user up until recently had the sg3/sg4/
This phone is great, I highly suggest it.
The build quality i superior to Samsung, and IMO we have a much better chance of unlock root for this phone than on the s4.
I have a good feeling I'll be selling my s4 in the near future.

Re read my post. I've used an s4 its pretty much just as good. People are biased from time to time. Also as my other post said lag is more perception at this point. These super phones do amazing things. Sometimes I think my keyboard "lags" on the one badly for instance. I also realize the other factors at play. Heck people here in this forum complain about sense 5 being laggy. My point is that lag is half perception.
Sent from my HTC6500LVW using xda app-developers app
Lag doesnt bother me that much as long as it isnt constant. I thought my upgrade was this month but its not until October. I think im going to call verizon and see if I can talk them into giving me an upgrade early

I'm in the same boat. I currently have a note 2 and thinking of either the HTC one or moto x. I love the build quality of the One but love that the moto x is pretty much stock android. If this phone had an unlock/root method, it would be a no brainer. I just hope something comes soon for it and then I could load a Google experience ROM or something

I'd go with the G2 just to have a faux Nexus 5, very much like how our LGOG is a faux Nexus 4. But the M8 does look quite sexy, and you can always throw AOSP on that once the dev team steps up. Logically I'd say go with the M8 for it being the latest and greatest, but for ROM purposes I'd say the G2 wouldn't be a bad choice either.
Or, you could flip a coin and let fate decide. I usually do that when I'm really stuck between something, lol.

I was thinking that, but looking at specs, it doesn't seem to be so much better to warrant the price difference.
I read that the LG G2 has serious issues with ASOP roms. I may be getting a new phone and that would be a deal breaker.
EDIT: maybe not serious problems but that kinda put me off also resale value of the new HTC one!
The HTC one 2014 still has 4 MegaPixel camera. Keep that in mind. I would say G2 for camera and AOSP ROMs will get better in time. Plus the UI is pretty nice on G2. One has beautiful UI, but lacks camera. Honestly is it up to you. If you use camera on phone, I would go G2. If camera isn't important, look at One.

I will never buy an LG phone again. 1 significant update in the 1.5 years for the LG OG is pathetic.
The Dev community has been great, but ASOP does not have conversation view and encryption does not work on LGOG CM
I purchased the M8 and have no regrets. I was concerned about the camera but the pictures have been a lot better then the LG OG in low light.
I would not purchase the G2.

The camera on the G2 sucks. It's great under good lighting conditions but fails at a lot of other aspects. It pretty much suffers from the same problems the LGOG suffered from. Great camera but awful software utilizing it. LG don't know how to tweak a camera to save their lives. Even the original M7 with its 4mp was better to use. At least the M8 has an extra sensor to improve it some more. For best camera I would always go with Galaxy devices, Samsung tweaks their cameras for optimum performance and do a great job at it.

I agree. The galaxy Cameras are great. Only problem I have with Galaxy devices are the power button fails. Went through 2 because of it. LGOG didn't have a terrible camera, but it wasn't the best either. I just don't believe 4MP would cut it if you wanted to crop or zoom at all. Don't know what HTC was thinking. He is correct though, if a camera is what you're going for, Samsung can usually deliver. G2 just has some neat functions and is good for daily use. One has speakers and clean UI with good built quality. Samsung has good cameras and (to me) pretty good build quality, even if it is plastic. Don't forget about the Nexus! Good build quality, more bang for buck, and all the AOSP support you will ever need!

And it zooms just as good if not better than this phone .
Also, my next phone will most likely not be LG unless they get there crap together. Will most likely go with HTCs newest phone next year if doesn't look like the m8(not my taste), as I deeply miss sense and the aluminum my evo shift has.

I hope you know ultrapixels is a made up gimmick word HTC came up with to make 4 megapixels sound awesome.. And yes you can zoom but doing so ruins the pictures quality because at the end of the day it is just 4 megapixels. Only reason they made up the word ultrapixels was because of the low light performance and to sell off 4mp.

My friend has a one max. It is four mega pixels, but the sensor brings in more information. We tested our cameras side by side, and his was the same as far a zooming in went. And low light was better.

Than either he has a very special HTC One or you two are not photoheads. I have the One on my account for my aunt and when I compared it with my Note 2 back then the Note 2 blew it away as far as cropping/zooming goes. You will start to see some distortion as you zoom/crop.. Did you do your test on a PC or from the phones display? It's funny because all the reviews have similar results. Idk if your fanboying to the max or really believe you got those results. Those sensor bring more information for lowlight performance they have nothing to do with zooming and cropping, just nice pictures at night. Heck even my sisters HTC EVO 4G LTE smokes the One..
If I can I'm picking the HTC one M8 over the LG G2. Build quality/speakers/Snapdragon 801 is enough for me.
The only LG product I would buy now would be a Nexus. I read all the horroe stories about updates of previous phones. I thought for sure because our flagship phone was based off a Nexus we would get timely updates. I want to wait and see what the Note 4 has to offer.
