Dark shots with no HDR. It's where the real stuff is strutted, and the weak crumple at the knees. I'll take comaprison shots with a D3100 (auto and manual) later, since I just don't have too much time unit Sunday.

I have noted, iPhone 4S does a little bit less JPEG compression on stored photos vs HOX(L), so this isn't a *pure* sensor capability test. Maybe with another camera program? HOX set to 4:3 (full, not the cropped 16:9 mode on the sensor), 8M. iPhone, predictably, has no options.

Filenames: HOX = HTC One X (AT&T); i4S = iPhone 4S (factory unlocked). Both are white, and caseless (if that matters).

Otherwise, first three are HTC, last three are iPhone, left to right.

HDR is "High Dynamic Range". It basically takes several shots at differing exposure values and merges them into one image in an attempt capture details in areas that would be dark shadows or blown highlights.

I'm surprised by how blurry\grainy a lot of these pictures are turning out. It's as if they are being compressed before saving them to the phones memory.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] oxeneers:
If you look at other threads and even comments about the camera, HTC is using post-image compression before the photo is saved. One look at the file sizes confirms this. 2MB for an 8MP photo? No way.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] shea-bird:
yeah I mean my pictures are still coming out great, but I could only imagine the quality with less aggressive compression...wonder if this will be a fix?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] oxeneers:
There's been talk in this thread about difficulty getting stable and "clear" shots. I have been able to use the burst mode to capture a few photos that came out pretty good. After holding down the capture button, choose the third or fourth photo you capture. That photo most likely will be the most in focus.

Anyways, here's my shots - some are edited, some are not. Click on them for the bigger version(s).

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] S8B:
I already have a few concerns.

1) It seems like the focus, particularly in Macro shots, is a bit off.

2) Some colors in certain situations are WAY over-saturated. Not sure if its the screen or the actual image. Will verify by transferring the pictures to my macbook.

3) Aggressive compression.

If these 3 issues are correctable via software/firmware update, then this camera is top-notch.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] timmillah:
This phone is the best smartphone I have EVER used. That being said, I am disappointed in the camera. Even with using burst mode, disabling face detection, etc.. All of the pictures generally come out slightly fuzzy/washed out. Very rarely does a picture I take actually come out looking like it should. Nearly every single picture in this thread reflects exactly that.. You will have 90% of the shots that have alot of noise/bad focus/off colors. But the 10% that aren't are AMAZING shots. My old 3.2MP SE K790a took better pictures than this.

Again, i'm not trying to bash the phone, seeing as how it's the only phone I've ever used where everything just works out of the box. I've yet to have a single force close, no lag whatsoever, web browsing is amazing, call quality is superb, battery life is well above average... But it doesn't change the fact that the camera is subpar in it's current state. The good news is that I can tell that the optics in the camera are fantastic, and it's just HTC's over processing when it comes to actually saving the images, so hopefully when we get either CM9 or other custom ROM's (which WILL come eventually...) it can solve the issue.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroAsc:
Big Rant here... we're almost at half time this year, and there is NO QWERTY PHONES in sight!!! What the f**?

I'm using the Sprint Epic 4G, which is what I would consider to be the 2nd best QWERTY phone (1GHz A8 CPU, PowerVR 540 @ 200MHz) even though it is 2 years old.

Only the Droid 3/4 beats it, and that is based on 2011 technology, and spec wise they are not much of an upgrade (Dual Core 1+GHz CPU, Power 540 @ 300 Mhz), with only the addition of another core, but the GPU is identical except for the clock speed.

And what's in store for 2012? I can't find any news QWERTY phones. I want to upgrade both CPU and GPU, so at least a Quad Core A8 or Dual Core A9, with a GPU on par at least with the Samsung GS2 Mali-400. The only news I've heard of is the Motorola Photon, but there has been nothing concrete since the initial rumours!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] icechen1:
Yeah, it's a shame. I guess there isn't nearly as much demands these days for a qwerty phone, or the OEMs are just obsessed on super sizing the phone's screen now. I doubt the Photon will have a keyboard too.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prboy1969:
It's not so much that there is not a demand. It's more of a general feel the corporate big wigs have from not being in touch. They're so into making the screens bigger, they're not actually taking certain things into account. Like that some people don't want something the size of a tablet, as a phone. Or just because the screen is larger doesn't mean we don't want a physical Keyboard. I for one am not a fan of the virtual KB. Fat Fingers, and a virtual KB. Not a good combination. Not to mention the virtual KB ets up a good portion of the screen anyway. If they keep this up, those that do have real keyboards won't be able to keep the damm things in stock. IMO it's split about 50/50 those that want a Virtual KB, and those that want a real KB. I would suggest to the manufacturers to give us the Physical KB, and find a way to keep the thickness of the device to a minimum. That would work better in their favor.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] icechen1:
Agreed, phone manufacturers these days just want to make the phone as slim as possible. Reviewers love it that a phone is 1mm slimmer than a competitor, rather than sacrificing that a bit in order to pack some actual functionality... A keyboard just doesn't have the same wow-factor than a big shiny phone, unfortunately.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroAsc:
The stupidity of the masses (especially the iSheep crowd) in my opinion is probably to blame. Touch screen only phones are functionally useless especially when you want to get any work done. Try manipulating a spreadsheet in landscape mode... almost the entire screen estate is eaten up by the virtual keyboard!

I say this from experience having gone from HTC Hermes (has KB) to Omnia 2 (no KB) and now Epic 4G (has KB). I've also learnt of HTC recent defection from keyboard phones... and this touch-only and slimness obsessiveness is getting out of control.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aerocaptain:
Qwerty's don't sell nearly as well. In addition, manufacturers don't want to spend the additional $$ needed to produce a device variant that also has a keyboard. Not sure why they don't offer them and just charge more for them....probably once again they simply don't sell the numbers required to make the same profit as producing full touch screen phones.

Phones are getting bigger and most don't want a brick in their pocket. You are unfortunately the minority.

The people that are used to them should squash the habit and dive into virtual keyboards. The selection is much greater. Most keyboarded devices are sub par in comparison to modern day super phones. And things don't seem to be changing anytime soon. The Droid 4 has a beautiful keyboard. Probably the best on the market. But the device itself is horrible. Not sure which I hated more, the screen or blur. Probably a combination of both. It comes down to economics. When you add a keyboard, the hardware suffers. The manufacturers have budgets to keep within.

The people with sausage fingers, hopefully will at least have the option to get the biggest screen device on the market to help compensate.

Adapt or be unhappy with every device you buy.

Probably because no one really shows interest in them. Android enjoys a good screen size, adding a keyboard hurts that a bit(IE: Evo 4G Slider or w/e it was).
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spunker88:
It seems all of the new phones this year have super large screens and no keyboards. I already have a tablet, the point of a phone is to be portable, anything over about 4.3" seems like overkill. My Droid 3 may be a little thicker due to its keyboard but the other 2 dimensions I care more about when holding it. I held a friend's Droid RAZR and it felt a little too big for a phone and its only 4.3".

For just typing words, Swype can be faster than physical keyboards, but for typing symbols and having arrow keys a physical keyboard can be nicer.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prboy1969:
Wow really :what: "

Adapt or be unhappy with every device you buy " . " The people that are used to them should squash the habit and dive into virtual keyboards " . this the same kind of thinking that says everyone should own a Prius. because they're good for the enviroment. Reality is they're not. It takes forever to recoup the enviromental impact damage from producing one. Also it's called choice, I don't want a virtual KB. As for the statement " When you add a keyboard, the hardware suffers " . I'd say your off on that one. Example the EVO Shift. The manufacturers listen to the people. But if we're all lemmings, then we get what they give and smile.

Adding the KB affects the size a bit. But that's more of a manufacturers choice than anything else. But it's still worth the trade off IMO to have the KB.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stevemotto:
I for one am not a fan of virtual keyboards. I may be naive but I think that the keyboard makes a phone look distasteful, but that's my biased opinion.

Nevertheless, lets be honest here. Virtual keyboards are no longer very popular and even the company that was most famous for its creation of Qwerty phones has moved into the path of full touch (Blackberry). That's not to say that there will NEVER be a Qwerty phone coming out (Black berry has confirmed that they will still continue designing new Qwerty phones) but it will most definitely not be flooding the market like other full touch screen phones are.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leona:
I have the xperia pro now, but already I'm looking to see what is coming next.

It really surprises me that there are now no QWERTY phones out this year, this is a worrying trend.

For those who say "use the on screen keyboard and shut up", trying using one with your eyes closed, not so easy to use now is it, no right then, that is why I need a physical keyboard, because on screen ones are too small and I can not see or feel what letters I am typing.

I do realise however that this is becoming rather a niche market, so I guess fewer and fewer suppliers will be releasing phones with this facility.

Its a shame Motorolla didn't release a GSM version of its Droid 4, a trick missed I feel.

Well at this rate, when my contract expires, it seems I'll be looking at a Blackberry or going back to a 'feature' phone, sad days :(
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dave H:
Well, physical keyboards add weight, volume, and cost to the phone. The slide-out function also introduces at least two more potential points of failure (the sliding mechanism itself, and the connecting data ribbon), which means more time and money has to be spent on QA.

I think the net result of all this is that for a keyboard phone to be technologically and structurally competitive, the price skews high, and it looks like there's just not enough relative demand for that feature. If manufacturers try to make a cutting edge, high-priced keyboard phone, they run the risk of having a whole bunch of product (with especially high manufacturing cost) that sits in the warehouse... cell phones don't age well, so that's a scary thought for them.

I'm afraid it's looking like keyboards (as they exist now) are being mitigated to the role of "smart phone training wheels", which means fewer and fewer high-end offerings down the road.

Just my (somewhat depressing) 2 cents.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bouncer5:

Considering the aftermarket bluetooth keyboards for Apple I'd say there are plenty of people who still want a hardware setup that lets them view the entire screen.

I'm not holding out hope for companies to continue making QWERTY phones, at least not quality ones. The finish of Samsung's new phones with keyboards is garbage, and even Sony's devices don't have nearly the level of finish of their screen-only counterparts. I love my Droid 2, and it seems unfortunately only Moto is still making high-end devices of that type, but I guess we'll see what happens by the end of the year.
