Galaxy Nexus Review: Two Steps Forward, One Step Back

An unusually good review from a site sponsored by the IPhone.

I figured Gizmodo was just nit picking the camera while I was reading the article but after looking at those pix and watching those vids, it's not looking good.

Wow that was actually a really surprising and honest review from Gizmodo.

The camera seems to be the achille's heel of the phone, but to be honest I don't expect to much, I'm more than happy with my Inc camera. The one of the Nexus is supposed to be lag-free too, so that's even better for me. If I want a quick pic with my Incredible I say forget it cause by the camera is ready to go, the moment has already passed.

I saw other reviews where they had better sample pictures . I don't know if they got an older revision of the software on that phone or it's just that the after-processing power was limited to achieve the zero shutter lag . This might be fixable with software , I tried my level 0.1 Photoshop skills on one of the sample pictures and just by adjusting the levels and nothing else here's the result :

The original sample taken with the S2 and the revised sample taken with the Nexus , you tell me which is which

Camera looks like it's washing out the colors with the flash. I'm curious how much we can improve the results once we tweak the camera settings.

Guessing pic #2 is the Nexus?

My guess is the top pic is Gnex

Pic #2 is G-Nex.

It's easy to see which is the Nexus because the angle is different, but I think the point was by just adjusting light levels you can improve the image dramatically, which often means a software tweak can remedy the issue.

Two out of three people got it wrong , first one is the Nexus and second G2 . Hmm , there is still hope for this camera if the software is tweaked .
I was also thinking that maybe they washed out the colors intentionally so they will look good on the increased contrast of the AMOLED screen .

WINNER WINNER, CHICKEN DINNER!!!! Can I have a Nexus now as my prize?

 

[SSHGuru]

Can't be worse the bionic camera.

#1 G-nex and #2 is the S2


Tell me i am wrong, cause i no im nooooot. :biggrin:

Camera aside, they took some awesome shots of the Nexus itself, looks beautiful.

Also, anyone else notice how much more viewable the screen was in direct sunlight vs the Rezound?

Looks promising.

That was wierd, it looked like the guy ate some greasy food then smudged it on the lens of the gnex, then proceeded to do his review footage....
