Re: Camera samples / DXO report

Have had it verified there is NOT optical stabilization. Why would they forgo that and say their camera is great?

For me, that almost makes it a deal breaker alone.

Re: Camera samples / DXO report

Yeah, that is really disappointing (no OIS if true). I know they were going for a particular price point, but then don't brag so much about the camera. Unless they have some way for compensating for that.

The sample shots are improved over the current X, but I'll withhold judgment until I can see some side by side comparisons with other phones.

I'd say scoring 3rd place only 3 points behind the 1st place S6 is definitely something to brag about

Re: Camera samples / DXO report

This definitely looks promising. And after a thorough reading, it looks like they aren't just blowing smoke out the wazoo. They really did jump up in quality by leaps and bounds.

It's an arbitrary scale. The difference between 3 points may be bigger than you think, depending on the usage.

The only thing we can say for certain is that it's camera is definitely improved over previous versions, and at least closer to the leaders than before.

Re: Camera samples / DXO report

This sounds promising but ... I want to see reviewers with it.

Re: Camera samples / DXO report

To be fair....Moto said it was "best in class" and at this price point it basically needs to beat the Zenphone to technically be correct about their statement. So I'm with others that say it's best to wait and see what reviewers say about it. I'm disappointed there is no OIS though.

Re: Camera samples / DXO report

No CameraApi2 support :-( Fail.

Sorry, but can't be best in class, or even close, without it nowadays.

Re: Camera samples / DXO report

Disappointed that we don't get OIS, I mean you add a 20MP camera with no OIS why? You had the room you should have put it in there. What was the cost difference, $10-15 at most? Still this looks to be one of my next phones. I will be getting two so I can swap as needed.

Re: Camera samples / DXO report

The "3rd place after the note 4" quote was their words, not mine. All I did was quote them.

When there is a tie for 2nd place, then those two are considered "top 3" regardless of whatever the topic/category may be. So they are accurate to say they are in the top three of smartphone camera devices based on that rank from that site. That also explains why they didn't say "we're the 3rd best" or "we're the 2nd best" because, from a marketing standpoint, the way they described their position is accurate and sounds more easily marketable.
