[MENTION=4890367]BoneXDA[/MENTION] they are great shots but clearly professionally taken in the best possible light. Not knocking them but I personally would like to see the average user type photos as a true guide.

If I took photos like those, I would change jobs:)
[Galaxy S 4 General] BoneXDA:
Dunno if they are professionally taken, but even if so, the abilities are there. And this point, from sufficient lights and above, it's up to the user to capture the right moment, because as far as quality goes, the S4 is sneaking in DSLR territory. These are amateur shots by geek reviewers.
[Galaxy S 4 General] hjogi:
this pictures are fantastic!!!!!!
[Galaxy S 4 General] NZtechfreak:
I keep seeing talk of the S4 approaching DSLR quality: please people, lets dial down the hyperbole a little. Very pleasing shots for a phone, but nowhere close to DSLR.
[Galaxy S 4 General] gavinfabl:
Second that.
[Galaxy S 4 General] BoneXDA:
I'm not talking about functional abilities obviously, but image quality, which at some point can't get much better. see this picture for example. There isn't too much room for improvement in level of details, white balance, noise amount or dynamic range, cause it's pretty much got the scene right. Therefore in sufficient conditions image quality borders DSLR.

People who have used this camera and iPhone 5 camera-- which is more likely to take good pictures in everyday scenarios, ie, where you just pull you camera out of your pocket and snap a quick picture without even thinking about it? That's what I loved about the iPhone 5 (the only thing I loved, for that matter) -- pictures were consistently excellent with little or no effort.

[Galaxy S 4 General] BoneXDA:
Samsung uses a generation fresher of the Sony BSI sensor also found in the iPhone 5. The Apple device uses the IMX145 (8MP), the Galaxy S4 uses the IMX135 (Exmor RS), probably the 2nd variant of cause it absolutely blows away the 1st-gen Xperia Z).

Consistent high quality is what reviews suggest and it is usually what I see on their pictures, but I'm still waiting to test one myself so I can speak on everyday success. As you can see over the thread, it is at least very promising.
[Galaxy S 4 General] phositadc:
Thanks for the info. I'd be happy if it even just matches the iPhone 5 personally.

[Galaxy S 4 General] gavinfabl:
Camera quality is important for me as is ease of use. I dread to think how much better the iPhone 5S might be. I hope its not though. I want the best phone with the best camera. What I need is be the S4 detail with the HTC One speed.

[Galaxy S 4 General] BoneXDA:
The iPhone 5S is also rumored to have the Exmor RS. But right now, being very content with the S4 so far, my attention goes to Nokia's Lumia EOS with the 2nd gen 41MP sensor. If not the DSLRs, the 808 is definitely what the S4 comes close to, although the extra megapixels on the Nokia do much better job in zooming in heavily. In any case, some performance these small sensors can pull off.
[Galaxy S 4 General] NZtechfreak:
Definitely, for the sensor size the performance really is very good. As a Pureview owner I am really looking forward to the Lumia EOS, Pureview+OIS should be formidable.
[Galaxy S 4 General] CLARiiON:
IMO, we are reaching the level of saturation in image quality that can be obtained from a 1/3-inch sensor. From what I have seen in the forums, GS4 quality may be improved, but don't believe anything drastic can happen within the limited scope of these sensors. I don't think with present sensor technology and limited size, we can expect much improvement in GS5 over GS4. My 0.02..
[Galaxy S 4 General] NZtechfreak:
I don't think anyone would disagree with you there.

Next gen really has to have some mix of larger sensor/larger aperture/OIS/xenon flash to really make further quality inroads.
[Galaxy S 4 General] msavic6:
Its weird that manufacturers have slowly gone away from using xenon flash on devices. Plenty of devices used to have them but now barely any, probably because xenon flash can't glow continuously like an LED can, so it limits the functionality.
[Galaxy S 4 General] BoneXDA:
All that would require extra space however. But with all the stuff Samsung manufactures these days I'm surprised cameraphone is not on their mind, but I expect that soon. I was underwhelmed by the Galaxy Camera quality though. I think the Exmor RS hands down beats it,
[Galaxy S 4 General] ChronoReverse:
I'm quite confused by this statement. In almost all the image comparisons, the GS4 absolutely beats the Z.

Furthermore, doesn't the Galaxy S4 use Exmor RS as well?

http://igyaan.in/2013/03/39617/samsung-galaxy-s4-teardown/
[Galaxy S 4 General] BoneXDA:
Nah I'm talking about this Galaxy Camera. But I can see where the confusion is coming from. Strange naming by Sammy, as it is not a phone just a smart camera, and not as good as the Galaxy S4's Exmor RS.
[Galaxy S 4 General] NZtechfreak:
Image quality from the Galaxy Camera was incredibly underwhelming in its price bracket, heck even a few hundred dollars cheaper it still wouldn't make sense.
[Galaxy S 4 General] GTRagnarok:
Yeah, I just looked at some Galaxy Camera samples and I'd have to say the S4 takes much better pictures. I don't understand how the tiny camera package in a phone can take better photos than a dedicated camera.
[Galaxy S 4 General] lamkhatoco:
I like Samsung Galaxy S4, it is very good.
[Galaxy S 4 General] BoneXDA:
Even though the Galaxy Camera's Samsung sensor is slightly bigger (1/2.3" vs. 1/3.06"), the Sony Exmor RS is a more advanced unit that captures much more details due to it's stacked pixel arrangement. A bigger Exmor RS sensor around 20MPs would be certainly interesting.
[Galaxy S 4 General] ITALIANNYC:
I am loving the photos. I have a GS2 and don't think it takes very good photos. This is a very nice upgrade.
[Galaxy S 4 General] BoneXDA:
And the US reviews are out with tons of pictures, not many full-res at this time however. These are from AndroidCentral and DigitalTrends. No zoom unfortunately.
[Galaxy S 4 General] gavinfabl:

[Galaxy S 4 General] CLARiiON:
Check both the comparisons. Now I am surprised that in these crops, why there is always a vignetting effect on all GS4 photos?

Look carefully at the left-top/left-bottom corners. Clearly visible in sky images.

Someone definitely did some post-processing.
[Galaxy S 4 General] BoneXDA:
It's just shade under the text, visible under "iPhone 5" too.

DPREVIEW Comparison

The photos from GS4 here looks less sharp from what I have seen from Exynos version in the forums. Waiting for their full review along with DxOMark analysis.

---------- Post added at 03:08 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:08 AM ----------

You're right!
[Galaxy S 4 General] BoneXDA:
Shots are pretty good though, just missing that little more. It might just turn out that Sony ships the Exmor R for the SD, the Exmor RS for the Octa-core variant, but let's put this aside until further proof. Interestingly they didn't use night mode in low-light which we know does a better job than high ISO, but they seem to like the overall abilities.

None of the devices in this shootout are good at everything. So, if you're planning to take a lot of pictures with your smartphone, you should be clear about where your priorities are. With its 13MP sensor the Samsung Galaxy S4 clearly produces most detail in good light and shows a good overall performance. In low light the S4 tends to opt for higher ISOs than the competition, but in turn that gets you faster shutter speeds and the sensor still captures more detail than the rivals. Having 13MP to start with also means that at equalized viewing sizes the Samsung's higher noise levels will be much less noticeable than at a 100% view. That is important to keep in mind considering that almost all smartphone images are reduced in size for editing and/or sharing. The Samsung's flash performance is decent too and exposure is usually spot on.
[Galaxy S 4 General] foxy4270:
If i remember correctly...on a previous article of yours you claimed thay both variants they use the same Exmor RS Sensor.
[Galaxy S 4 General] BoneXDA:
It's the first time someone respected posted something else than the Exmor RS, Andandtech, IMX091PQ (Exmor R). Threw them a mail, hopefully they'll check into he details.
[Galaxy S 4 General] satannik:
Oh yeah? And Apple should make a plastic version for the people who don't want to pay the premium for aluminum.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Toss3:
This is one site I'd trust over the others. Techobuffalo's pictures looked very different from everyone else's. Every iPhone 5 shot I've seen has been somewhat washed out like the ones in the dpreview comparison. Not sure if TB is using another camera app other than the stock one on the iP5, but it seems that way.
[Galaxy S 4 General] barondebxl:
I like this feature quite a lot

http://www.phonedog.com/videos/samsung-galaxy-s-4-1080p-hd-video-sample/
[Galaxy S 4 General] Sarcron:
Yup. I found that to be the more interesting of the camera options. I mean it's pretty basic but I can see multiple cases where it would be useful/fun to have, such as when taking group photos/photos of yourself in vacation spots and monuments, video calling, and doing Vlogs where you want to have your face in the view but also want to show/demonstrate something.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Toss3:
The iPhone's aluminium shell only adds like $10 to the manufacturing cost over the polycarbonate the S4 uses.
[Galaxy S 4 General] pack21:
Glorious, who cares about premium metal without this great features? i don't.
[Galaxy S 4 General] BoneXDA:
That is of course if we consider glued metal, a headache against scratches and repair, premium material after a couple of months of use.

[Galaxy S 4 General] phositadc:
How the hell does a nearly one year old Apple phone continue to be superior to Android latest flagships? How can we not even get an iPhone 5 quality camera one year after the fact?

Btw, got my GS4 yesterday, and initial impression is that the camera is good, but if I had to pick I would choose iPhone 5's camera.

My i9505 better have Exmor RS, or I'm going to be one unhappy camper... If they are only putting R's in the North American variants, then Samsung is being very stupid. It wont be doing itself any favors selling our market 2nd rate goods. I and most others dont consider the S600 2nd rate goods, the camera sensor however, is extremely disappointing for me as a consumer, I'm sure others would also feel ripped off by this.

No one can determine the best ROM for you as we all have different needs for our phones. Additionally, each phone may react to every ROM differently. My advice would be to try out as many as you can. :)

The link I provided should be a good point of reference for gauging people's thoughts on ROMs. Reading and trying them yourself is honestly the only way to know.

try roms is all you can do. personally I like wicked v8. I give roms a one strike and youre out rule. if one thing doesnt work good enough for my needs its gone. I wanted to like synergy but it gave me a few issues. maybe I will wait a month or two and see what else comes. ive had great success with wicked and devils reject roms. I have friends using intergalactic and it also seems good for them. my battery life is better than ever on wicked but of course it all comes down to usage and tuning. most important to choose a rom that works.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] johnnyutah22:
I like CSROM. The battery life is great and you have good aroma install options for things like aosp messaging and email. It has good mods like tethering, toggles, etc. Also very good support from the Dev and others in the development thread.

I just decided to try another.

Now I'm using CSROM they don't have a lot of cool thing like synergy . They have some diffrent touchwizz from Sony and Motorola.They have multiwinow but my battery is working sucks . I have 2 battary but I have to get charge 2 times in a day it's mean 4 charge for a single battery.I'm not sure about all this things I'm just saying my experiance.

Every phone is different. Every user is different. While a rom may work great on one person's phone it may be the opposite for yours...even with the exact same specs and hardware. The opposite can be true for other roms. And the way you use the phone differs as well. There is no "....is the best rom.". If you are not happy with the current ROM, then try another.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] s8freak:
I'll give you three of the best IMHO that I've used extensively.

#1 Xtremperia by Jovy23

#2 Darthstalker X1 by Jovy23

#3 Deadly Venom 3.0 by Venom

All three are bug free and extremely stable with excellent battery life. I use the Ziggy kernel with all three.

At this point I'm running Hyperdrive multiview w/ Ziggy and I have Synergy w/Ziggy as my back up.

Yes they both have minor bugs but are easily fixable.

That being said the VERY first thing I would and this comes from an expensive lesson I learned BACK UP YOUR IMEI FIRST!!!! If I've helped please hit the thanks button:D and happy flashing.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] johnnyutah22:
The other reply covered it pretty good as it's different for everyone. I see a lot of people posting about battery life and I would suggest the following. Charge your battery to 100% before you go to bed. Take it off the charger and then just let it sit overnight. When you get up, check the battery stats and see if it goes into deep sleep, meaning it wasn't awake when the screen was off during the night. If you see more than a few times where it was awake, you probably have wakelock issues. If so, use Better Battery Stats to find out what's going on. Sometimes its the media scanner hanging up on a pic or vid that isn't playing nice, sometimes it's something else.

I have my mail synced 24/7 as well as contacts and calendar. I play games for about 10 minutes a clip throughout the day and browse xda and google news and I get about 20 hours with 2-3 hours screen on time.
