Not sure if this is the right spot to post this. Anyways, I'm looking to make the switch back to android. Currently I'm using the iPhone 6s Plus. I like it and all, but miss android.
Now my question is, should I sell this and grab a op3? My main concern is the camera. I've hear a lot of ups&downs about it. And I am very pleased with the 6s Plus camera.
Help me out, I can't decide lol.
(And yes I realize I am posting in an android community lol)
Can't really tell you if the Op3 camera is better or as good as the 6s, as I don't have experience with the 6s... But I've had no issues with the Op3 camera...
Maybe check some comparisons...

Trying to be fair I'd give a 9/10 to iPhone 6s camera and a 8/10 to OP3's one, so there you go: probably iPhone is a better shooter, but OP3 plays fairly well, too, and gives you so many other benefits.
As long as you stick with OxygenOS or HydrogenOS, the camera is fantastic. If you want to go aosp/cm, go with sultanxda CM, he's implemented a custom camera HAL that outperforms the stock HAL on aosp roms despite it being a tad glitchy at times. I'm currently running the community build of OxygenOS 3.5.2 and it's great!
if camera is the priority.. NO.. I am a big android fan but it looks like the new iPhone 7 is the best all around phone at the moment. I myself would not buy it as I hate ios but if you like iPhone and are not opposed to shelling out the price for the 7. sadly it outperforms any phone in the market and from what I have heard the camera is better than any out there. it all depends on your budget I love android and I wouldn't switch to ios just for camera but than again its al preference. keep in mind the freedom you get from android. weight out the pros and cons.
The camera on the 6S is on par with the OnePlus 3 if you ask me, there may be a very little difference...I've used both and they perform almost identical to me.
OP3 camera is amazing at daytime, but at nighttime you will notice a difference.

Just wanted to hop in and say hi. Hope I made the right choice while at the Verizon store. I was so tempted for the Razr MAXX, but I used their iPads in store to check the xda section for it and saw that dev was kinda "meh", lol. So motorola, if you're reading this, you lost a sale because of it!!
Coming from a Samsung Infuse which I loved to death, but development for it died... and fast. If dev got more popular for it I know for a fact it would've been one of the best phones on the market.
One thing I miss dearly though, that camera. I took some sample shots. I resized because of the forum, also because one was 8MP and the other 5MP, but you can see the difference:

Hopefully all goes well with my experience with this phone. So far it's amazed me, other than the camera everything is pretty great, but I need to use it for a while before I make a final judgement.

I went from webOS to nexus as well, its great esp when the calendar works like amazing
I know what you mean about the camera. Unless the lighting is perfect, the Nexus camera has lots of "noise".
I've taken some great, clear shots with my Nexus, but often I take pictures and im like wtf why is it so grainy?
I'm also coming from a Samsung Infuse and agree about the 3 less MP for the camera. Absolutley love the GNex though! Congrats on the new purchase
Welcome to the club. i switched to the rezound because i was so frustrated with the camera. i switched back 2 weeks later.
im using "Camera fx" its an app that slows down the shutter speed so you can be still.
it seems to help.
Not sure if this has been posted, but our Galaxy Nexus sits on the same pantheon as the acclaimed Leica M9, Canon 1dx, 5d3 and Nikon d800 cameras.

Strange since everyone complains about the camera.
I don't complain about the camera, bests my old Thunderbolt's 8MP shooter.

not me, im constantly trying to show people that its an awesome camera. people just dont know how to use it. they expect the camera to do all the work for them, but it only does what you tell it to do. plus its really important to keep that back lens cover smudge free.

As per the above poster, I also love the GNex camera. It takes some getting used to but it takes better pictures than pretty much any other camera on a phone I have ever seen.

Very nice pics. I personally don't have an opinion, my eyes are not the best, and I've never had a good eye for capturing photography myself. I just use the camera casually and it works fine for me. What I meant was the general consensus on the camera is that it is poor, that is what the websites and reviews and even users all complain about. It may just be a common misconception, but it's widely the accepted view, accurate or not.
Not better than my SGN. I am still pleased i didnt go for gnex and opted a note last year.

TIPA didn't evaluate image quality only, but the whole pack of good screen, zero-lag shutter, 1080p recording and some other goodies.
TIPA meeting was on 24th March 2012, so it's understandable why they choose Galaxy Nexus.
All I can say about the camera is, its the only camera that can take colour accurate images of my coral reef aquarium. I've tried several cameras and other phones and its way off. Mind you I've learned the best settings for that application is simply changing it to cloudy.

Looking for a Hand held Gimbal that I can use both my phone and GoPro on. The cheaper the better but I understand I don't have many options. Any Ideas?
Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk
You might want to explain what a gimbal is or why you need it and in what context you'll be using it. you mention gopro so potentially, it would be in a rugged environment or sports.
Just saying, if you want responses, clarify.
Yep, Also never heard of it...

fancy word for selfie stick
I use a ikan FLY-X3 PLUS, It works great as long as you don't have lots of wind hitting the phone. Its better with my S7 or GoPro.

Gimbals are definitely not just selfie sticks. They're for producing cinematic quality video and are quite effective when used correctly. I've got a DJI Osmo Mobile that i was using with my S7 but I havent had a chance to try out the S8+ on it yet. I'm going to guess that it'll be pushing the limits on the motors for it though.
Anyway... just set it up for the S8+... Looks like it'll work alright but no way your gonna get it to work inside a case and you've basically got to adjust the thing to the limits of the device. I'm sure the weight and size will put stress on the motors and use more battery than normal, but it does work.
Sorry for the sideways pic:

Of course...this won't help you with the GoPro part
I think i found one that works.

Saw this on YT, nice side-by-side comparison of 2 gimbals, plus he has OIS on and off with each one. That's where I found out what gimbals are (as far as smartphones are concerned).

Zhiyun smooth Q, cheaper than osmo and can function comparable to it.
Hi,
My carrier is Verizon. Between these two phones, which one is to get? thanks
This an Apples v Oranges comparison. Spec wise they're not too far apart, and the OS skins aren't that heavy on either. The camera will be different on both as well.
Ultimately it boils down to size. Do you want a small phone, or a big phone?

I am in dilemma. I like the size of Sony, but I also like the dual cams on LGs.:laugh:
I just got my XZ2C this morning. Coming from a HTC 10, which is smaller than the LG G7, I'm very happy I went the smaller route. I forgot how good it is to be able to use a phone with one hand ... Camera seems good enough for me. I'll buy an actual camera if I need proper shots.

Noice. My upgrade path was exactly the same: from HTC 10 to XZ2 Compact.
And even though the keyboard is smaller, my typing speed has massively increased.
The battery, oh, damn, the battery. I got 11 hours and 16 minutes of screen-on time.

i would go for Sony even just because of the size and the fact it has no notch lol
Still running Android 10, I have 3 OTA's saved on my device. 14.0.28_OTA_0280, 14.0.29_OTA_0290, 14.0.30_OTA_0300.
Can I run the latest or do i need to step through them all?
Sure, use oxygen updater app
Heh, Sure to which? Step through or not?

"Sure" to jump to Android 11.0.4.1
I did the 1st one and it killed speaker volume, suffered finger print reader, sluggish performance, auto dimmer. More I'm sure, can't remember it all.
I played hell and hoop jumping to get back to 10. There have been several releases. Are things OK now?

Thanks, Think I'll stay on 10, I don't see any celebrations about the 7t on 11. Almost got sucked into a Pixel 6P but a neghbor sent one back for heat and battery, a co-worker for crap finger print. Both of which installed updates.

Great words!!!
I experienced the same problems that's why rolled back to OOS10 and would never update even to OOS12 which is also not that good yet
I moved on to the 8t. Totally different phone, much better, got the max RAM. Much better call sound quality and reception. The only thing I miss is the better macro camera feature on the 7t.
