So far not loving the camera. Not sure if mine is bad but details on some of mine appear flat... This is in good light. Or just seem way off like no details in hair. There was no movement either by the kids.

I said the same thing dude, This cam is no match for my pixel, even compared to my 7plus....no match. The pixels cam is more crisp in colors and everything. Sammy didn't go hard on the cam this time around, it was all about the display. Ill probably return my s8 and wait on the Note 8 with its dual cam and 4k display..

The camera is good, but not mind blowing. It uses the same sensors as the S7, which had a very good camera. Sammy focuses on ultra fast and clear pictures. If you want better color, you should use the manual mode settings.

If you're gonna wait for a note 8, you might as well wait for the s9, or note 9......etc

Your picture is scaled way down... considering its resolution the picture quality looks awesome. The only hair detail you can't see was removed when you shrank it by %80.

why ??? Iv never like any galaxy s phones but love the notes. not to mention the s8/s8+ appears to have been rushed to market(FPS no Dual camera)... this will be corrected on the Note.

You're also indoors, under fluorescent lighting. Not exactly ideal lighting conditions. Use natural light. It is your friend for good photos, even on high dollar SLR's

Try playing with settings. I have not used a pixel, but I can compare to my V10 (which has a pretty good camera). Despite slightly lower max res, thus camera is getting better detail and dynamic range. Colors are also rendered better.

My Huawei Mate 9's camera is better in lighted scenarios, the S8+ is better in darker rooms. Overall, I feel the Mate 9's camera is better.

People, you're talking about a phone-camera with an infinitesimally small sensor and lens to match. NO phone camera will give you great detail - it's just not physically possible. Smart-phone manufacturers concentrate on getting the noise in check and providing good low-light capability. In order to reduce noise, you reduce sharpness - with small sensors, there's just no other way.

It amazes me how the media hypes which smartphone camera is best - what they're really comparing is which isn't worst!

Get real - smartphone cameras take amazing pictures for what they are. Don't expect miracles!

I think the camera is actually pretty good. The only alteration I did to this photo is saturation and straightening but other than that, the detail in my wheaten's hair and the grain of the floor are insane.

You don't even know what the note 8 will have as far as display and camera. There's really no point in a 4k display...

I find the camera to be much better than my v20. The dual camera is nice, but I hardly used it. If/ when Samsung implements dual cameras I hope they do a better job than LG.
