I zoomed in and you can see them better but no one is going to notice them in a real picture.. I will test it and see.

Are you sure you have a sprint S3? You're posting from the international version so I'm a little doubtful. If you're rooted it may also be a big with your rom, or maybe a common problem with your phone (if referring to int'l version)
I made a mistake.I have int version and it is not rooted l.maybe is a common problem who knows.

Low light photos tend to be grainy and don't look good, unless you have a very good camera. There is not really a cell phone out that takes low light pictures really well. You don't see the spots or grainy ness when you use the flash because there is more light. Take some pictures in sunlight and they will look great.

Yes i agree with you.When i take pics with more light they look very good and dont have spots.You think that is not a big deal?or maybe is a common problem for s3 and only i noticeed it,i cant belive

This is a problem with all phone cameras. They just don't have good enough sensors and what not to take good low light pics. If you want a great camera for low light images get a real DSLR camera.

I love DSLRs and use them quite often, so I might be able to shed some light (pun intended) on this situation.
I won't go into too much detail about it, but the low light performance comes down to the CMOS image sensor size. This article and this article do a good job of explaining what the camera sensor does, but it boils down to the following: a smaller sensor will be able to absorb less light than a larger sensor. This is why phone cameras will never be as good as (high end) DSLRs. This is also why, for the most part, size does matter when it comes to cameras (not 100% foolproof of a rule, but it stands).
Now, when you're taking a picture in a low-light area, the sensor picks up what it can. This is where software takes over. There are algorithms that cameras (both in DSLR and phone cameras) that interpret the sensor readings and compile them into an image. When the sensor can't read enough light, it's output to the algorithm won't contain enough information to provide an accurate picture. This is where grainy pictures come from and sometimes, artifacts like the ones you've been pointing out.
I'm not sure why it's happening primarily with low-light Red pixels on your phone, but it won't be fixed by getting a new phone. It'll be fixed by getting a $2K DSLR. Even though our cameras are 8MP, they will inherently be worse than a high-end camera. These cameras are nice for snapping a pic of a friend or relative or your favorite dish at that new restaurant, but if you're trying to blow them up to a poster, good luck with that! Having realistic expectations of the phone camera will help you be more satisfied with it.

I should also state that my previous post mainly applies to low-light conditions. Given adequate lighting conditions, this phone camera is phenomenal. The problem with the small sensor is that it takes more light to get adequate lighting. Hope this makes sense.

Hey I am on a Samsung Galaxy S4 Google Play Edition with Android 4.3 and my front facing camera is exactly like yours that you described. It looks like a painting and its quality is terrible, even though it is still 1920x1080. Did you eventuall fix your camera?

I also agree with engine95.
The 13 Megapixel Camera with mods makes in totally worth it.
The front facing camera is the same as others. I dont notice the difference.

HTC One will blow the S4 camera away in low-light conditions. That is a fact.
Elsewhere, the S4 camera can take quite stunning pictures.
Of course, like I always say, the photographer affects how good a picture is much more than the camera itself.

That protective film was not really meant to be peeled off, it does not cover the lens or degrade the picture, so I'd leave it on if it's still there.
Anyone find it kinda slow for taking pics? I find my s3 to be instant once I tap it.

I don't have any pictures of my own to post, but the galaxy s4 has the best camera that i have ever had the pleasure of using on a phone.
My Moto Razr HD, Galaxy Nexus, HTC Thunderbolt and the OG Droid had a lousy camera compared to the S4.
By the way, does anyone have any tips for taking the best looking pictures?
So I've been on aosp ROMs for a while now and I know about the whole focus issue with them, but recently I realized my camera won't even focus on the first try. It use to focus just fine, but now it won't focus with the scripted or even on stock. Any ideas?
