camera saturation defualt setting is too low.

I took two pictures of a colour card I have, and the one take with default settings looked very dull compared to +1 setting on saturation. +1 looked more approximating to the original card. Just a note as some of you may not have tried this and may ave noticed some of your pictures look a bit dull/bland etc. try adjusting saturation by 1 level.

I am also using saturation +1 most of the time.
The AMOLED screen is way over saturated, and it makes you think that the photos look ok under the default settings. But once you load them onto your PC, they just look super bland. Saturation +1 is still not perfect, but good enough for a cellphone. I would just use my DSLR if I need to take really high quality pictures.

agreed. +1 is better but not perfect. Pity there are only 6 settings from black and white to total saturation. 12 steps would have allowed more fine tuning. still, as you say its fine for camera phone. cheers for reply.

how to modify the saturation of camera's preview by using sdk api?
i cann't find some relevant APIs...

You can change the white balance, but that's about it. You should be happy because most other amoled screens are painfully oversaturated. I feel this is just the right amount.

I dont know but does it look accuracy as LCD?I mean all amoled screen are pinky

I agree. Most AMOLED screens, like Sammy's, are way too rich in color. This is the first display I've seen to hit it just on the mark. I prefer a little washed out/natural display, in terms of color balance. This phone has an excellent color pallete.

This phone was way way better whites than the Note 4 and 6P I had before.
However at low brightness Greys appear greenish. Very noticeable.

Your personal opinion is invalid. The colours are as wrong as they can be.

I've never held a oneplus 3 and I've read the anandtech review but would average Joe notice? Most reviewers said it's good nothing outstanding.

Unfortunately my Oneplus 3 has an unevenness in color display!
In the upper part of the screen, the colors become a bit more reddish, while in the lower part the tint becomes a bit more greenish.
This especially can be seen when turning brightness down.
Once seen, this can't be unseen and makes me very much think of returning the unit!
Is there anything else who has different hues in different parts of the screen?

Blueish
I don't like the blueish colours, oversaturation and small text rendering on my OP3.
Even colour temperature setting can't fully fix the blueish colours

Not sure why a lot of people are having issues with their contrast and saturation. My display is perfect. Blues are completely accurate, as well as every other color. This is hands down the best display I have seen. I love it. Blows Sammy's over exuberant color pallet away. This is all I did to adjust the display...

I had the Nexus 6P and that AMOLED is probably the best calibrated display and much sharper than OP3. I don't think it's a huge deal breaker here since the phone is so much faster, easier to hold and use. I really wanted to like the 6P but it just didn't have enough customizations even though custom roms are plenty.

I love the display. Its so much better than on the 1+1. Those blacks and colors.

I'm a very picky user for most everything on my phone. I have extreme ocd. I believe everyone's screen is different. My display in my OP3 is better than my S6 and my S4 as well as my honor 5x and Nexus 6p. It may also be preference because as I do love amoleds, this one is a bit duller than usual samoleds but more accurate. I have no color transitions no color issues at all. I have my white balance bar about 88% up to max. Personally, to me its looking excellent. Everyone's screen must differ.

yes they did , but in terms of Accuracy .
it is absolutely possible that it feels good to a not so keen user.
Also there's a possibility of better calibration via XDA devs

Completely agree with you. At first I thought it was just me. Coming from various devices including 6P,G4,Moto X Pure and N5 the screen on this 3 is terrible.
I've always preferred AMOLED over LCD as I found it easier on the eye. Returning my 3 as it's causing me eye strain (don't play games,Facebook etc).

LG G7 Screen Grainy effect???

Am i the only who has noticed like this grainy effect on the display if you really focus on it. Its more noticeable on white backgrounds

? You're not alone, my screen is the same- full of very faint horizontal banding. I thought at first it was due to the cheap plastic screen protector I had on it. While I need to look closely to see it, it is quite annoying. In the BBC news app the red section at the top of the screen is where I first noticed it. I love the phone but for all the shouting LG has made about the screen, this is not acceptable. Personally I'm not sure it's a fault, rather LG's inability to produce a half decent phone screen- look at the issues people had with the v30/Pixel 2XL's screens and my G4 was a hot mess of image retention after 6 months. ?

Can you try to check it with a different wallpaper to see if it is due to the app or background

My screen is perfectly fine and crisp.

Man, you have the eyes of a Spiderman so you able to see the pixels with 550PPI. I bet when you'll see Note 9 display your eyes will just pop out.
It's just pixels on G7

LG G7 has slightly higher resolution than the overrated Galaxy S9/Note 9. LG G7 is better anyday.

camera issues

Hey, iv got my S20 today. Been playing around with the camera and can honestly say I'm truly disappointed. The quality is awful. It finds it really hard to focus on things and the image quality is pants.
Iv just come from a p20 pro which I think was brilliant, I actually rate the camera on the p20 (a 2 yr old phone) 100x better than the S20.
Am I missing something or doing something wrong?

Waiting to fix focus with some updates... The quality is not awful, I think... Not so good as I expected too, but I have a hope that with some next updates, things will get better at some point... maybe

It's bad... Gutted iv got 10 days to return it. Guessing it ain't going to be fixed within that time

On wich software is your phone running? Samsung did fixed the issue with software updates on my phone.

Newest I think, iv got April 1st security updates.

today I cannot focus on my ID , driving license (to send it to my bank) , all photos was blurry in daytime condition shame

I noticed the same camera issues with my S20

Got an s20 plus and the same situation in here, Can even focus anything, or any text on the main camera, as the front camera too. Disappointed, came from the mi9 with Gcam that took awesome pics.

Glad its not just me then, now I don't know if I should keep it or not. The main thing I use is the camera

For my s20+ samdung improved the Camera, esp the autofocus in the past 3 updates.. But still fail to fix the white balance in low light.
Photos taken esp food is always too warm or with red tint. Had to manually adjust white balance with adobe lightroom or snapseed.
I just wish samsung will fix the white balance as it is very obvious it's a firmware bug.
Autofocus is still bad but it improved woth firmware updates. Doesnt really bug me as i always press on the location to focus though..

Well I've got 28 days now as the return centre has closed lol let's see how it goes

I have noticed several things that really annoy me and are making me think about selling it after 2 weeks. Does anyone else notice:
1. Extreme saturation of the colors on picture. Contrast is way too high. I have not been able to fix this.
2. Autofocus is really poor
3. In bright light outside, people almost are orange when using video. Gras is extremely green, it is so ugly.
4. When sending video on Whatsapp, quality decreases extreme. Meaning color is almost gone, quality very low. (I mean way more than the usual decreae because of dropping)
Really dissapoimted given the price of this device.

Grass is Extremely Green?: It was doing that to me too but it wasn't the Camera. It was because in Display I had Screen mode set to Vivid and not Natural. If you have Vivid on ever Picture is going to look oversaturated. It's the screen doing that not the Camera.

Try turn off scene optimization, this will boost collars also.
Or HDR and see if u like it better.
WhatsApp always decrease picture and video quality, if u want it 100% than u should select document and search for your photo or video.

I know this.
Tried the adjustment of the screen but problem remains.
And as I stated in my post; i know quality decreases on whatsapp video messaging (wich makes sense). But in this case the video's go to totally different to no colour, lighting changes, etc. etc.
I know you can expect some quality decrease, but this is absurd.

I keep trying new things but I'm still shocked at the camera, every photo looks blury. I'm not getting a crisp photo no matter what i do.
Iv given up with the 64mp mode as they are the worse pictures! So one of the phones biggest selling points rite there is useless.
10mp does auto focus faster but the lag between pressing the shutter button and it actually taking causes photo blur

Its pretty ok i think

Try to send the photos taken with extreme contrast. If it's still appears on other ppls phone with extreme contrast.
I had this issue.. I noticed photo abnormally warm and over saturated. Then after I transfer the photo to pc, it looks just fine.
Then i saw somewhere on xda, try changing the display setting from vivid to natural. It's much better.

I can't anymore. After three weeks I sold mine. Dissapointed in Samsung. Looking for a K30 Pro now or even an Iphone 11.

Same here, got rid of mine, got a p30 pro... amazing.
I read on sammobile that they don't think they can fix some of the issues with the exynos chip. Some of the side by side comparison tests with the Snapdragon may as well be a different phone

I've just updated mine I'll try out the camera shortly. I think it was lacking in that department so if they've addressed it happy days.

I think so too and I can't say I like it more.. Oversharpening got better but it's still a bit much and the photos are still too contrasty, I really hope they reduce the contrast in a future update. Darker colors get too crushed and it doesn't look realistic.

I have the same feelings even with the latest update I think it still captures over contrasty photo's some time.

As per I am noticing it seems like the colours are punchier in photo's than before.

Check what you have your screen calibration set to before you judge your photos, having it set to Vivid or Amoled Wide Gamut or P3 will give the illusion of very colourful photos when they're not. I keep my display at either Natural or sRGB since they are the two flattest profiles.
