Ok before you declare me as another "Samsung agent" or , let me tell you i had this since end of May and first couple of months was great but now, for the last month or two, this phone's camera became HORRIBLE. And i dont mean "well in comparison to SG4 or iPhone", i mean it as it is so bad that im actually considering selling this phone and buying something else because this camera is a total piece of garbage.
Let's see some examples:
HDR
What the hells is that "flare" around the umbrella? it looks like some house in distance is on fire...
how about some casual event photos
Nop, totally useless photo because it cant focus for distance larger than 1 meter. Great.
Now lets see what happens when you try to take a photo of a park. Totally steady hands, focus on a tree in the background
oh would you look at this. Out of focus and blurry.
and another one distance shot
crap, yet again no focus and blurry as hell
so i tried another one with different settings
nop, still crap.
and for grand finale, HDR photo
just look at it, it's like the chimney has some saint glare around it.
And thats not even all, but i think you see where i'm going with it.
now compare all this photos to this photo from my first couple of days with it
so for no good reason this phone started making crappy photos that i cant even post on facebook or instagram unless they're taken with a macro mode because that is the only mode that still takes normal picutres, all the res are pure garbage.
And yes, i do know how to take pictures with a phone, i do use multiple settings and try to get a good results but seriously, my iPhone 4 from 2010 has MUCH MUCH better camera than this phone. 3 years old phone has a better camera than this one, makes you wonder.
