Best camera on an Android phone?

[Mike3of3]

Opinions needed please!

I'm about to upgrade my BB to an Android in the next 2 weeks, and the camera is probably the most important feature for me.

The reviews I have read seem to point in the direction of the S3, but I would like to hear what real users think.

thanks in advance

Go with a new sony, something like a 13mp camera good quality. A 2012 sony xperia, not sure about the model just have a research.

If you dont like sonys phones then id say s3 or note 2, the note 2 also has the ability to record in slow mo

I had BB's for around 7 yrs...just switched to an SG3 a month ago. Awesome device, awesome camera. You can't go wrong.

I have an s3 and any day id recomend it however I find that a htc, samsung or sony phone will have a great camera. The new xperia Z and ZL will have a 13mp camera, sonys newest camera its going to be good.

I just picked up a Note 2 and am amazed by the camera on that thing, the shots look like those from a good digital camera. I was coming from the Galaxy Nexus, I knew that it didn't have the best camera, but I didn't realize there would be such a huge difference in quality.

HTC One X is the undisputed one...

Just curious if I am doing something wrong. I have a 9 month old son and take a ton of pictures all the time. I have purchased the Note 2 and love everything about it but all the pictures I take are very grainy compared to my old Iphone 4s. I with the Iphone it was very much point and click anywhere but with my Note 2 all pictures come out grainy. Lots of our pictures are taken inside with varied light. Is there something wrong with my camera?

Thanks for the advice.

There's not much I can think of besides a smudged lens, all the auto settings worked great for me. The camera should perform very well, on par with similar high end phones. Although I will say that the Lumia 920, iPhone 5, and HTC One X are supposed to have better cameras (I'm not sure how big of a difference there is though).

Ok thanks I just found d it strange that all photos were blur or grainy. I maybe have a bad Note 2 then. I

So I started from scratch yesterday and if the lighting is good, ie outside, thw pictures are a bit better but I still think my friends S3 gave me better pictures.

If you can wait for the newer phones get the S4 or One. If not, then the S3 or One X.
