720p camera vs 1080p camera

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.

Video Recording [email protected] ?

Is possible to make videos at [email protected] or [email protected](i know this one is not possible though )
I know its now capped @24fps for 1080p
But by moding or something is it possible ?
Cause i know my brother's optimus 2x was also capped 24fps but then a mod was released which increased that limit to 30fps.

4k Recording on GS4?

Is it possible To record at this res?

The sensor on the back has enough pixels. It's a question of heat created by the sensor as well as software and possibly hardware requirements.
All depends on how much $$ Samsung put it into the sensor. Honestly, I doubt it's possible due to physical requirements. But, even if it were, who is going to know how to make a camera take that kind of resolution at good quality other than Samsung devs?
If anyone can find the model number of the sensor used in the s4 camera, I can find out if it's possible.

No It's not possible, The GS4 has a 600 Snap Dragon Processor which handles up to 1080p recording beyond that the hardware is not capable of doing that only 800 can do and higher. It cannot do that even with the deepest hacking ever The architecture wasn't designed to support this.

Yupp. I forgot about that. Good info.

Probably it's just server overload as everyone's downloading. Keep trying.

Downloaded and Playing

Downloaded and playing. Make sure to turn the graphics settings to high in game. Mine was defaulted to low.

Ditto on the graphics I thought low was the game was supposed to look. Thankfully I figured it out and now it looks so much better

For those of you who are extreme enough, search for dead trigger 2 ultra high graphics. Haven't tried yet. Sorry can't post link cause the website is full of other paid games. (hint: by chathu)

Ultra high has a slight lag on my stock rooted N7.2 but runs smooth on my One X+.

No lags at all and perfect gameplay on my rooted N7.2 with ButeredFlo ROM and glitch kernel.

And what you use to lower the resolution? Xscaler?

Great game

Super!

How does the fps compare on stock clocks if you lower it to
(WSXGA+) 1680×1050 - 283.02 PPI
Wide SXGA or Wide XGA+ (WSXGA) 1440×900 - 242.59 PPI aka Tesco Hudl
Wide XGA max. (WXGA) 1280×800 - 215.63 PPI - aka Nexus 7 2012
Wide VGA (WVGA) 768×480 - 129.3 PPI

4k and 1080p 60 fps in video is possible?

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.
