Really ****ing sad there are no camera samples weeks after announcement and even after the pre-order date. This is what happens when you follow a Nexus phone. You get nil. Droid Turbo has a million photos already, and they frankly suck. The camera is the biggest upgrade on a Nexus phone compared to everything else, and yet can't find a single original camera sample. The Engadget guy who did the hands-on video said the images were much better than the Moto X (2014) so that's what I want to confirm. Motorola may have screwed up the Moto X and Droid Turbo, but I am holding out that Google may have done some magic with the Nexus 6. Phonearena seems to have an actual Nexus 6 unit so lets hope they will release a million photos later today. Google has been so hush hush and slapping NDAs on everyone I bet camera samples are at the top of the list. Maybe they are trying to hide the fact that it sucks.
[Nexus 6  General] ipmanwck:
No idea how Phoneareana manage to always get their handsets first? I watched the video and as soon as I heard "it's joooohn vvvv here" I had to turn it off as he must be the most annoying tech reviewer ever! Waiting for pocketnows videos. Hopefully MF as Tyler is now leaving. Pocketnow do really great honest reviews. Let's hope it's not about nexus situation with camera!

Not sure, but i think it is.....based on that user videos, he is into high end phones/cameras :D

I want to believe is such a nice camera. Note 4 is proud :)

[Nexus 6  General] 10pmStalker:
Yeah that's why I'm skeptical. Probably a dslr or something.
[Nexus 6  General] pemz82:
I hope this is the real deal, but the video caption shows 4k at 60fps for the nexus 6. I thought it could do 1080p at 60fps and 4k only 30fps? Maybe the caption is just wrong.
[Nexus 6  General] dazed1:
Maybe he made a mistake, i don't think the video is shot with dslr or anything similar, because its shaky like on a smartphone, OIS probably ain't even working in 4K.
[Nexus 6  General] italia0101:
Not sure that's real, 4k at 60fps? The specs didn't even mention any 60fps afaik
[Nexus 6  General] gogol:
The Nexus 6 is a bit on the cool color side, and the iPhone 6 plus is on the warm color side.

But, the still photo is indeed better on Nexus 6!!!! :)

The caption is confusing, I don't think N6 is capable of shooting 4K at 60fps.

https://www.google.com/nexus/6/

Rear Camera

13MP with optical image stabilization

Dual LED ring flash

f/2.0 aperture

4K video capture at 30fps

And iPhone 6 plus should be able to shoot 1080p @60fps.

https://www.apple.com/iphone-6/specs/

Video Recording

1080p HD video recording (30 fps or 60 fps)

Probably he got it mixed up :)

The 30fps is for N6 and the 60fps is for iPhone 6+
[Nexus 6  General] batna.antab:
I'm pretty skeptical about this video, why should Google give a nexus 6 to such a small channel when only few of the big one got one, second he even said 4k at 60fps which is not actually possible with any current smartphone and every smartphone with the snap805 shoot at 4k at 30fps, the iPhone 6 plus camera can only shoot at 60fps in 1080p there's no option to change the frame rate in ios apart from the slow motion options.

[Nexus 6  General] dazed1:
The OIS does not work on many phones in 4K, for example S5. Note 4...

About how he got the Nexus 6, i have no idea, nor i'm sure that the video is not fake, lets hope its real :)

If its real, he might mixed things up...and label it wrong.
[Nexus 6  General] olipheus:
How is it possible for the OIS to not work with video recording at 4K? Like batna.antab wrote the OIS is a mechanical function – either built into the lens itself or enabling the sensor to move to compensate for shakes and sudden bumps. How can it be turned off?
[Nexus 6  General] chrisjcks:

Here's the G+ source for the Halloween pic (hint: it's from Matias Duarte), plus another pic that was posted alongside the above one:
[Nexus 6  General] batna.antab:
Maybe you are confusing eis with ois, one is done with the software by cropping and the other is implemented with hw which literally moves the lense to compensate, ois can not be turned off as it is mechanical and it's always moving also when the camera is closed.

The Galaxy s5 doesn't have ois, just eis.

[Nexus 6  General] nexus6R3plicant:
But not known also if it is a nexus 6 or not he hasn't posted anything for proof either

I would love to blindly believe that this is the phone and would be very happy with camera if it is but this is the INTERNET....

Just because it's on the Web doesn't make it the truth
[Nexus 6  General] dazed1:
He said he got prototype, and that he will post more videos....and looking at the photos, on the previous page i'm thinking more and more that the video is legit.
[Nexus 6  General] jineshpatel30:
Well he said in comment that he just got nexus 6 for few minute for review only...so he can't able to compare photos with flash light, he added that he will do it after he get one again... after reading this i think it's trustable ;)
[Nexus 6  General] nexus6R3plicant:
Even more likely to distrust him because if he only got it for a couple minutes they would not have let him take it outside ....then he post this
[Nexus 6  General] Jooosty:
Looks very nice !

For sure my next phone
[Nexus 6  General] jineshpatel30:
Well i'm not forcing you to trust him :p

Anyway whatever it is we can see actual compare within weeks now bcz nexus 6 has already booked by many ppls:)

Nexus 6 easily beats the iPhone 6+ in the low photo details segment, iPhone 6+ wins in video recording. if the video is real, ( i think it is) we got one of the top 3 cameras in the Nexus 6, Note 4 and Iphone 6 are other 2.

[Nexus 6  General] ipmanwck:
Looks great. I am sure lifting and everything was perfect. Let's wait for user results.
[Nexus 6  General] Jonnyredcorn:
The issue here is if Google wants to charge a premium price tag then there can be no corners cut. With Nexus phones before they were always high end devices that had corners cut in areas to keep them affordable. Speakers, camera, and battery seem to be the usual corners cut.

Now Google is branding the Nexus 6 as premium and doubled the price...so naturally people are going to expect everything to be on spot.

I personally think the Nexus 5 camera is great. It was bad at first but now I can take great shots, albeit a bit slow. The build quality I also like. My phones taken spills, drops, and only thing that would make it noticeable as not new is the common hairline split under the SIM tray...which seems common on devices that are babied.

Anyway I'm passing on the Nexus 6 and will maybe pick up next year's model when it has a proper 64 bit CPU.

[Nexus 6  General] cb474:
I don't think you really understood my post, to which you're replying.

As far as the camera sensor goes, the Nexus 6 has a sensor that is on a par with almost all other flagships out there. It's a good 1/3 sensor. That's the same sort of thing you'll find in iPhones (which are more expsensive than the Nexus 6), the HTC M8, the LG G3. Everyone uses 1/3 sensors, even the flagships.

There are only a couple exceptions. The Samsung Galaxy S5 and Note 4 have slightly larger sensors (about 1/2.5), also the Sony Z2 and Z3 have sensors in this range (although the actual peformance of their cameras has not been that good), and the Nokia 808 and 1020 have sensors that just eclipse every other phone ever made and are years ahead of everyone (they have 1/1.2 and 1/1.5 sensors, respectively). That's it. Everyone else, even in the highest end phones, uses 1/3 sensors.

So you can't say the Nexus 6 is not living up to flasghips standards as far as the camera sensor goes. That's just wrong. It is exactly followoing current standards.

What you can say is that almost all flagship phones have settled for mediocre 1/3 sensors, because they want their phones to be thin, rather than have higher quality larger sensors. This is what people don't get. Flagship phones in general, just about all of them, are not making any serious effort to keep up with camera sensor technology. They've got gimmicks and minor things, which they pretend are advances, but really they are stuck on 1/3 sensors, first introduced eight years ago in the Nokia N93.

So it's not the Nexus 6 skimping. It's everyone skimping.
[Nexus 6  General] androidi10:
Great post. Do you know the differences in camera/flash parts between the Nexus 6 and iPhone 6?
[Nexus 6  General] wrinklefree:
FWIW in a recent podcast, The Verge editor who did the first hands-on of the N6 (Dieter Bohn) has been using the phone for a few weeks now, and he fully stands by the initial positive impressions of the camera. This is great news.

[Nexus 6  General] cb474:
No, sorry, I haven't paid much attention to the flash technology. I don't like flash photography and almost never use a flash.

Of course, having a really large sensor like in the Nokia 808 and 1020, as I discuss above, allows the camera to capture more light and perform well in low light situations even without a flash--thereby rendering a more realistic representation of the lighting situation. So to a degree the flash is another area where phone manufacturers are trying to make up for tiny sensors with bad solutions.

It's perhaps also worth noting that this is also an area where the Nokia 808 and 1020 are leagues ahead of all other phones, because they have xenon flashes, like in real cameras, not crappy LED flashes. So when you really do need a flash, those Nokia phones are going to hugely outperform any other phone. Yes, there are better and worse LED flashes, but compared to a real xenon flash the differences between LED flashes are just different versions of crappy. Again, there's pretty much no way to get a xenon flash in a super thin phone, so that's why almost no one does this.
[Nexus 6  General] sonyfan12:
If these videos are true, then sudden nexus 6 have the best camera color rendition at this moment. No yellowness and "fading" like iPhone 6, no oversaturation and slightly "fading" like in note4, "coldish" less than in note4 and pink seems to be (few video) doesn't get there don't need like in z3c, z3, s5, note4 (sometimes a bit), alpha and others.

Dynamic range quite a bit loses iphone 6, but nexus 6 have OIS. If the detailing will be better than in iPhone6 (can be even slightly worse than the note4/s5) it will be the best camera in the smartphone at this moment

In the past, I told my friend that my Nexus 5 takes great photos.

And showed to him, which obviously they were really good photos, even low light.

But, his reactions was "Yeah, those are still photos. Try with people, kids, person moving."

And I realized it's quite difficult to get good photos of people, especially kids (who usually moving a lot).

Skin tone, sharpness, exposure, especially low light are difficult (or challenging).

So, I am not that surprise with all the "still photos", food photo, buildings and such. For sure they are great :)

Interesting. Z3 has better video but pictures are better on Nexus 6. Except the last one, what happened there? You didn't focus it well on Nexus6?

I am quite happy with my Z3, but the only reason I have been eyeing Nexus 6 is the camera.
[Nexus 6  General] @Peterrrrr:
To me as an photographer the video is a bit of disappointment, sure Nexus seems to be better to avoid overexposure(look at the swan's white feathers. But the critical is the detail and sharpness, I had really look forward for this camera.

The most sad stuff is probably that it is the optic in the phone that is the problem, might be a little chance that it is a software problem :(

But wait a moment, Oneplus One have the same optic and is just as sharp as the Z3. Might be a software problem then?

The nexus 6 has better edge to edge sharpness than the Note 4. The drop off towards the corners is very noticeable on the Note 4.
