Am I the only one who finds the camera on my note 2 way better than the note 3 camera?? Do I have a lemon?

I'm going to vote for lemon. I did not have a Note2 or Galaxy3 but I started with the HTC Hero and am currently on a Note3 and have probably had 15 devices in between. The Note3 camera has performed for me pretty much identically to my S4 camera which performed significantly better than my S2 camera, which was the first phone camera that got me to ditch a point and shoot and only keep a DSLR on hand for serious photography projects.
As amazing as these cameras are they are still pretty fallible...the sensors aren't huge and the lenses are kinda lacking. But all said, they produce shocking amazing photographs in most situations given that these are all-in-one devices (which have historically been "the worst at every function but, hey, it does all of them")
Setting up test scenarios can be difficult given the amount of variables that could be involved.
All said, I'd have to say that you might have a lemon on your hands. It happens. We hear about these one-off cases all the time on XDA. They often start flame wars. Tens of millions of these devices are produced in different production runs. I work in manufacturing...no two runs (or items in any given run) are ever completely identical. Even though I have always gotten the best-in-show of each device I've ever gotten and had no problems that I've heard described--hey, I've been very lucky so far--I know that, statistically speaking, there is a chance that I turn up a dud.
On the bright side, statistically speaking, you've gotten that out of the way and should have a long spell of good luck with statistically insignificant defects.
Caveat: YMMV

You are correct , the note 3 camera sucks.
I came from a HTC one and it blows the note 3 out the water. Even my s2 was better then this.
The note 3 camera takes fair pic in bright light, but indoors is crap.
They all look gainy and flat.
I knew the camera wasn't going or be all that but like so much other things about the phone that I got it anyway.
I hope they can do a patch to fix the camera but I think it's hardware and not software.
And for those that say it must be my phone its not. My girls is the same and the reviews pics I see on the net are the same.
My phone takes clear images. It has its days though when I'm inside and it looks crappy it looks crystal clear outside though and dark even zoomed in at 4x video and pictures look great outdoors indoors ehh like I said has its moments where I capture a good picture

Turn of the "tap to take a picture" setting in your camera app....
I would be willing to bet your gripe here is that your pictures are blurry, that is likely why. And turn on image stabilization.
Best of luck
I'd say u have a lemon. Had the note 2 and note 3 and I will say note 3 is the best camera I've used personally on a smart phone

And I doubt there is that many lemons out there.
go into your bathroom and take a pic of something. Then take that same item and go outside in the bright light and take a pic. You can clearly see the indoors pic is crap.
also all this is without flash. Flash helps alot but not all pictures you need flash.

Since the Nexus doesn't have a Q&A section i have a question about the camera before i get one. I am coming from an iPhone 4 and to upgrade from my contract (with 21 months left) it will cost me $300-ish hopefully. Now I have seen reviews comparing the GNEX's camera to the iPhone 4S but nothing to the 4. Now i know it's only 5Mp like the iPhone but what is the quality between the two. Is it about equal to the iPhone 4's or is it worse and such. This is my only major complaint about the device (based on what i heard) i can live with the lack on SD (i've put up with it already with my iPhone)

Coming from an Iphone 4 and a Galaxy S2 i'd place the nexus behind the other 2.
Its not awful but i can certainly notice the quality difference.
Like would you say it's a big difference or is more minor
The GS2 is better for sure but the Nexus is much better in low light shots.
Here is a comparison of the GS2 and Nexus, as I said it is better but the Nexus is no slouch.

Coming form a galaxy s ii the quality of the camera in the galaxy nexus is... horrible , i'm pissed at google, why didnt they use the same camera module as the galaxy s ii? i can only think of one thing: MARKETING , they want us to upgrade and buy the galaxy s iii , they don't want to build a perfect phone

This guy's conclusion paragraph is hilarious. The Galaxy S2 is clearly the winner here. The daytime shots are much more vibrant and sharp, the macro shots might have a slight edge on the Galaxy Nexus, and the night shots are just a result of the software dialing the ISO way up producing a clearer but super noisy picture. If you crank up the ISO manually on the S2 you'll probably get similar results at night.
I won't even talk about the flash shots. Both were horrible like phones generally are.
the best camera is the one you have on you
it may be behind the S2 in terms of quality, but you've more chance of getting a better shot due to the zero lag, S2 users cannot guarantee when their phone will take the shot, with the nexus I've got some great shots that needed to be taken as soon as I hit the button!
A question about video recording.
When i choose 1080p over 720p i see a lot of Wavy Lines in the screen....anyone else?
As for the camera shots its just fine for me. No complaints and the heavy flash is perfect.

is it the things you're filming that look "wavy"? (rolling shutter)
btw, filming in 1080 for so long (including using the light when indoors) and my battery was still at 40% by the end of the day!

I agree with the night shots, but my day shots are horrible. All washed out.
My front facing camera produces better day shots, its as if they were switched around or the back one takes in too much light
Is there any particular reason why they went with a 5MP camera? I know MPs aren't everything, but I ask because a lot of reviews are pointing to the now-below-high-end-standard megapixel camera as the culprit of the average camera.
Just wondering why Samsung didn't offer at least 8. Did they make any public statement about the reasoning? Does it have something to do with the super quick shutter?

Hi all,
I have recently bought the Samsung Galaxy Note II and I really am disappointed with the camera quality of this phone. The pictures taken from my Galaxy S2 were much better compared to this.
General Problems:
1. Grainy,Shaky and Blurry images
2. Auto focus not effective all the time
3. Photos in good light conditions are also grainy.
Is there any mod or anything with which i can improve my camera "image" quality. Please help. I couldn't find any mod on the website till now.
I am using note2 from 6 months. But I have not faced any problem regarding camera.
Even its camera is much better then S2.
Check out this thread. All photos are posted from note2. And all are very nice.
There are many camera apps in play store. You can try any one and check.
sent from my GT-N7100. Press thanks if I helped..
what firmware are you on?
Maybe its because tou had ISO on auto. It tend to pock a high value for auto. Have you try manually set iso to 100.
Ofc it work best in bright conditions or else iso=100 will make the photo darkwr than usual.

Post some taken pictures, maybe we can tell if we experience the same, or if it is something strange om your device (camera/focus broken?)
Try cleaning the lens before taking pics. ..it tends to get smudgy. .. silly but true

I was using Nokia N8-00 before I get N7100. Back in those days I can't stand symbian but god knows I miss the camera of N8. I can't say that there is a distortion or anormality on pictures taken from Note 2 but simply I can't satisfied. I hope that Note 3 would have better camera quality.
The biggest problem with our camera is that the cover over the lense is always 'smudgy', usually with greasy residue from your hands. Make it a habit to very gently wipe this clean on your shirt before taking any pictures, even the slightest bit of cloudiness will result in crappy pictures.
All phones suck at taking pictures indoors, outside they are all generally pretty good. If you want DSLR quality then pack around one of those monsters everywhere you go - otherwise, clean your lense and try to rely on adequate lighting.

I agree the camera quality and focus does not focus correctly and picture image is not sharp. My HTC Thunderbolt took great photos and it was more than 2 1/2 years old also had a 8 megapixel camera. Not sure who made the lens for Samsung and not sure if that is the issue. But I can tell you this some people think the images are great. They are not camera people the clarity and focus are not right.
Before upgrading to the Note 3 just a few days ago, I had a Galaxy SII for roughly a year and a half. I'm finding that the pictures taken on my Note 3 look awful in both day and low light settings.
I've tried the stock camera app, Vignette, Snap Camera, A Better Camera, Camera Zoom FX, and Camera FV-5 all which swear are the best camera apps. All pictures look like crap regardless of which app I use.
These are from my SII:

So what gives? When it wants to, it takes shots like the last above. When it doesn't, it doesn't. All pictures are unedited taken with auto mode. ISO and exposure settings have not been modified.
Bad module. I had the same problem, photos would not correctly focus. Exchanged it at tmobile, New one works much better. If you hand shakes the tiniest bit the auto focus goes crazy, that's why next one needs OIS.
I'd like to get more opinions please.
Definitely something wrong. The note 3 has one if the best cameras I've used yet on a phone.

My phone has been tack-sharp for the most part. I think 1 of every 8 or so might be blurry but its been really good so far. I've only had my Note 3 for 6 days but I've taken about 60 or pictures. I have not taken any night shots yet, just indoor/outdoor during the day.
Mine takes crappy pictures a lot as well, plus when filming, the slightest movement makes the autofocus go ape sh* and gets all grainy.
Again like you though, it takes great pictures and films when it wants to.

Hey there, I'm having the EXACT same problem with my new Note 3 and it's driving me nuts!
Just got it less than a week ago brand new from Best Buy (March 29).
I updated to KitKat OTA and everything is great EXCEPT the camera. The smart stabilization doesn't seem to do anything, it's always blurry unless it's super sunny and bright and I'm not moving at all.
I've been doing some research and it seems to be pretty common, about 50/50 of Note 3 owners complaining. Somebody mentioned that Samsung changed the image sensor in the later batches of the Note 3? Also some customers have exchanged their device and say the 2nd one works fine.
I'm gonna play with the settings some more but will likely go back to Best Buy tomorrow (April 4) to see if they have another one I can try.
BRB, Keep ya posted
Hope you don't mind me posting on here, but I also got a "camera is acting ****ty" question and it may be related.
I went from a Note II to Note III ... and taking a picture with this is horrible. I press the shutter button. It does the whole "took a pic" animation and then it says "Processing". If I move the phone while it's processing, it captures whatever is in front of the phone as I move it, as if it was taking the picture during "Processing" and not when it did the animation that indicates it took a picture.
Does that make sense? In essence it's ruined a bunch of shots because it's telling "hey I took the picture" and next thing I know, not, it hadn't taken the picture. And in the Note II I never had to wait for any "processing" like this one seems to do for every picture.
What gives?

I've had the blurry processing problem as well. Probably couldn't replicate it if I tried. Maybe it has to do with whether you are saving to sd card or internal memory?
Saving to my 64GB card that I used on the Note II without this issue.
Damn camera
Yeah same here as well. You have to take off stabilize shot and just take regular pics until someone can make a mod for it or Samsung gives us an update. You could go the other route and take smooth video and then playback and take pics from there. (^_-). I was and still am pretty pissed about this camera. It works sometimes but the whole processing thing is terrible. I too am coming from the note 2 and it had fantastic pics as does this note 3 it just does so when it wants. Be very still when taking pictures.
Thanks for the heads up. Took off the Smart Stabilization crap and now it works as I'd need it. I've done photography for a few years so I can keep a phone steady enough for a picture. The tradeoff of instant capture vs software stabilization with a delay is silly.

Note 4 camera is much improved over Note 3. It also has optical image stabilization now and really fast focus. I think you'll be impressed.
If you just got the new iPhone 6 plus why not just keep it? Both camera would do pretty good so its subjective. There's plus and minus to both.

My concern is the camera as well. I discovered a couple months ago at the Jay Z Beyonce concert, the Note 3 camera doesn't video night images very well. It would record images ok under the normal white light. The stage lights would often change to different colors i.e. red, blue, purple and this where you see the weakness of the Note 3 camera. Whenever the stage lights were other than white, the color of the light would create an over exposure and drown out any other image in the frame. I pretty much could only get decent video footage on the white lights. I'm hoping that this area had been greatly improved with N4. Otherwise I might have to switch to another product with better capabilities.

In case you are thinking of getting an iphone plus...
http://www.independent.co.uk/life-s...w-smartphones-bending-in-pockets-9752204.html
so if i read that correctly, the Note 4 took better photos? I also saw an article earlier showing how the 6 camera actually had some software issues with it.
I've just got the Note 10+ 5G coming from a Huawei Mate 20 Pro and the camera on this is disappointing to say the least. I haven't tested it in good lighting conditions, but in low light the Mate 20 Pro wipes the floor with this.
I can't actually believe just how big the difference is. Unless I'm doing something wrong? For a start, I can't find where you set the resolution of the cameras. Or can you not select it?
I also coming from Mate 20 Pro and Pixel 3 XL. And also not very happy with the camera. Yes, Mate 20 Pro is better at night indeed but not at day time. Pixel 3 XL seems took better pictures most of the time . Apart from that, the phone overall is much better that anything I had before.
I have an 11 pro max and n10+. I brought both to my brothers house on Christmas to take photos of my family. I used the iPhone and note side by side. The note absolutely couldn’t handle trying to catch my nephew in motion. I used the iPhone for most of the night and every shot was beautiful and not grainy in medium light. Not pleased with the note camera at all.

That's the main reason I sold my wifes S10+ and bought a Pixel 4. Nearly impossible to take pics of people while moving.
I have the same setup with the Note 10+ and the iPhone 11 pro Max. I use the iPhone for photos much more often than the Samsung.

I agree. My OnePlus 7 Pro takes better photos indoors than my Note 10 +. During the day there's little difference but indoor photos are blurry if anyone moves even slightly on the N10+. It seems like with each update it has gotten worse but it could just be because I have been taking more photos in different places because of the holidays and never noticed that it was that bad.

Interesting, I actually had this issue with the OP 7 Pro. If subjects were completely still, I'd do ok and get them in the shot nicely, but as soon as there was movement, or it came time to take pictures of people at night, it did pretty bad.

I only have one nephew and I feel like these years as a baby are very important for me to document and the most basic function of good pictures are sometimes very hard to achieve with the note camera. Maybe I’ll give it a try again with the note 11.
I've cleared the camera app data, reset the camera settings and wiped the cache partition and after restarting the phone it seems to have sorted itself out.
I'll do some more testing and see how it performs now.

I might try the S11 but I am definitely going to wait until others report back. The two best cameras this year are the Pixel 4 and Iphone 11 pro max. I had the pro max for almost two weeks and the camera is great but returned it because of ios being so restrictive. If it wasn't for that I would have kept it. The flat screen, build quality and camera are top notch.

I've cleared the camera app data, reset the camera settings and wiped the cache partition and after restarting the phone it seems to have sorted itself out.
I'll do some more testing and see how it performs now.

My issue with the camera comes when the lighting isn't the best and the subject is moving. If the lighting is in full daylight it works great besides over smoothing with the processing. I really hope Samsung fixes all this with the S11. If not I will look elsewhere.
I totally agree with all of you. If my grandson moves even just a little picture is very very blurry. And forget about taking pictures while my son is playing basketball.

I only have one nephew and I feel like these years as a baby are very important for me to document and the most basic function of good pictures are sometimes very hard to achieve with the note camera. Maybe I’ll give it a try again with the note 11.

I know exactly how you feel. I have a 7 week old and a 22 month old. I need those pictures to be perfect to capture there moments. Perfect example for today. My wife and I took out eldest son to the park. He was on the swing and she was able to capture our son swinging in live focus or portrait mode or whatever you want to call it perfectly with 0 blur on her Pixel 4. I know my Note 10+ would not be able to do that.

For today’s lunch with family, my 11 pro max captured everything with zero blur and wonderful lighting. I brought along the Note on a little tripod to take photos of all of us and use the stylus as the shutter button. One photo and I was disappointed.

Interesting, I actually had this issue with the OP 7 Pro. If subjects were completely still, I'd do ok and get them in the shot nicely, but as soon as there was movement, or it came time to take pictures of people at night, it did pretty bad.

It seems like as OnePlus updated the camera got better and as Samsung updated the camera got worse. It's very strange.
You guys need to learn to use pro mode on the camera.
The pictures in bad light looks good!
I know the Mate does better pure night shots and that's ok, but the Note is pretty good when using the right settings.

I know how to use Pro Mode on the camera but it makes no difference on my Note 10 +, pics indoors still don't come out all that good.

All of the 2019 Samsungs choose a lower shutter speed vs my 4XL and P30 for any given scene this is IMO why they struggle with any movement at all. I sold my Note 10+ before Christmas but picked up a second hand S10 as I found one in Cardinal red! Camera between the two is pretty much identical. Pro mode and effectively shooting in shutter priority helps a little but then you then get a little more of that Samsung smoothing plus you cannot do this if you want to use night mode. I just think that Samsung used the same main camera hardware this year as they did with the S9 and we are paying the price.
A good example below of my cat over Christmas, S10, P30 Pro and 4XL. Pixel and P30 are close the Samsung way behind, not like the cat was jumping around either. Samsung is the first one
I haven't had time yet to proper play with all settings, but why don't you guys use gcam if you're not happy with the Samsung camera app.
I've got the note10+ 5g and am still on latest android 9 patch as 10 update isn't out for my 5g version yet.
Both with Samsung camera and gcam I don't get blurry pictures when trying to catch my 5 year old twins when they're jumping up and down. Believe me, they will NOT sit still for anything, let alone a picture. Although gcam seems to edge it slightly on the no blur front.
So maybe give that a whirl.
