I no longer use my A70 for low light pictures because of the very low quality results.

Have you tried the gcam. Night sight has been pretty cool in my experience.
[Samsung Galaxy A70 Real Life Review] James.Miller:
The stock camera app isn't optimised at all. Its almost as if Samsung went out of their way to nerf the sensor's performance. Gcam can produce Much better photos but has all the drawbacks of a 3rd party camera app on a Samsung phone - limited resolution etc. Samsung need to do better.

Compared to the camera of the 3 years old S8+ (my wife's mobile), I find the camera of the A70 very very weak.
[Samsung Galaxy A70 Real Life Review] euge77:
takes good pictures in bright light, however, once your light levels get lower the quality is bad (very grainy)
[Samsung Galaxy A70 Real Life Review] garou_umbra_warrior:
Is there any app one can suggest to use the sensor better? i find the camera modes not using the sensor to full capacity

i found that ALL the apps i tried see the sensor as 8 Mpix only
[Samsung Galaxy A70 Real Life Review] Mow Down:
All the photo apps I have found show the main camera to be 8 mpix, this is due to Samsung using pixel binning which combines 4 pixels into 1 large pixel to try and improve low light pictures. So 32 divided by 4 gives 8 mpix images and all the apps including the gcam apk only see 8 mpix. Even raw mode apps such as light room show 8 mpix and produce around 15 mpix raw images. I have just seen a youtube review of the new xiaomi note 10 with a 108 mpix camera that pixel bins down to 27 mpix but interestingly has the ability to take a full 108 mpix image, although the images are not as good as the pixel binned ones I assume it would allow for full raw images to be taken which could be edited in light room. So the xiaomi is advertised as 108 and has the option for 108 images. The a70 is advertised as 32 with no way to take a 32 image imho this is false advertising, I am not aware of an app that allows pixel binning to be turned off but the xiaomi shows it can be done. What is needed is someone to develop an app to turn it off or like gcam develop the xiaomi camera app to use on other phones including the ability to use the full resolution. If anyone does know how to turn pixel binning off please comment. I do love the phone but the camera is the weakest aspect.
[Samsung Galaxy A70 Real Life Review] Sunspark:
I didn't buy this phone for the camera. The phone was half the price of a Pixel device. The camera is an upgrade over my previous device which has a camera from 2014. I agree the A70 is not even in the same league as the devices that cost more. I recommend using the money saved and buy a standalone camera if you are serious about photography. I can overlook this flaw because I don't take a lot of pictures.
[Samsung Galaxy A70 Real Life Review] Khalid Madkour:
You can use full 32mb mode. In the camera app you see 3:4 , change it to the one that has 3:4H
[Samsung Galaxy A70 Real Life Review] sebx_g1:
Well back camera is ok - but front ? ... am I wrong - doesn't it have autofocus ? Is that possible ?
[Samsung Galaxy A70 Real Life Review] Mow Down:
Hi the 3x4h setting produces an 8mb image pixel binned from the 32mb lens, if you check the size of the images they are 4 to 6mb, they should be 4x as big with a 32mb lens. There is currently no way to get a full 32mb image either jpeg or raw, thats why all the camera apps show a max res of 8mb.
[Samsung Galaxy A70 Real Life Review] Swizzy88:
When I chose the 3:4H mode in the stock camera I get images with a resolution of 6528x4896 which is 32mp.
[Samsung Galaxy A70 Real Life Review] Mow Down:
Hi, Swizzy, the a70 camera pixel binns at 4 to 1, once the image is taken at 6528x4896 the processing combines 4 pixels to 1 increasing the pixel size to improve low light, this gives a finished image quater the size hence 8mp.

Check the gcam port thread and the comments people made about gcam only showing the main camera as 8mp.
[Samsung Galaxy A70 Real Life Review] leonbarroso:
Install gcam 6.2

I use default camera only for ultrawide and to use depht sensor on objects

my iphone 5s 6 years old, takes better pictures.
[Samsung Galaxy A70 Real Life Review] Swordfishx86:
Ahem, no. Just no.
[Samsung Galaxy A70 Real Life Review] crazylachesis:
I agree with all who say that photo quality is terrible. I had an S8, the pictures taken with that looked very good out of the box. The picture processing on the A70 is just awful:

-It oversharpens way too much, especially in low light, the sharpening halos are painful to look at

-It does overly aggressive noise reduction which results in a serious lack of detail. Even by just zooming in a little bit it becomes clear that however the image looks "sharp" in 0% magnification there are literally no details captured as they are killed by the noise reduction

One other thing I don't really understand, is that the standard camera resolution is 4032x3024=12,1k=12 Megapixels. How can it be 12 megapixels, if the quad-bayer arrangement should result in 32/4=8 Megapixels, as the Gcam records in? If somebody could explain this i would be really happy.

I actually compared the photos from the A70 with my old (still working good) galaxy s5, and i was shocked, as in many scenarios the S5 actually produced much more detailed and vibrant pictures. That's when I decided to try the GCAM. I'm so happy right now, as this actually brings up the A70 camera quality to the level of the Galaxy s8 which I had previously as a company phone. With the GCAM the pictures are looking flagship-camera like with details properly captured, white balance is spot on (stock camera messes that up too, it takes too warm pictures almost in all scenarios), and the dynamic range is excellent too. And most importantly, there is no hideous oversharpening going on with the GCAM.

I'll link the images soon when i have a chance to upload them.
[Samsung Galaxy A70 Real Life Review] crazylachesis:
Can you elaborate on that? I just wrote a comment, let me quote the respective part:

"One other thing I don't really understand, is that the standard camera resolution is 4032x3024=12,1k=12 Megapixels. How can it be 12 megapixels, if the quad-bayer arrangement should result in 32/4=8 Megapixels, as the Gcam records in? If somebody could explain this i would be really happy."

8mp interpolated to 32mp

what the hell is binning? :D

it is good old interpolation

this is an awful phone, awful camera quality, (because of an awful sensor)

no software support, one ui 1.0 is far worse than its rivals.

they marketed the one ui 2.0 and android 10 updates, but they are constantly postponed... to an unknown date...

because the lier company is busy with releasing other crap phones (like the a71, 51 vsvs)

they do not have any respect to the old customers, they just flood market

by flood marketing, every 3-4 months they release 3-4 new crap models, they are almost the same hardware as the older models.

they have many marketing lies, and they hope to fool more new customers by these marketing lies.
[Samsung Galaxy A70 Real Life Review] sipart:
Yep the camera is terrible.

I was hoping they would do something via updates - but no.

I love the screen, size is great for me. Performance is good for my use, battery good. In screen finger print sensor is sub par but I can put up with it.

But the camera - oh dear - it's not as if the phone is a cheap and nasty phone - but the pictures it takes look like it is....

In most respects it's the best phone I have ever had (I don't do flag ships) - but they camera!!

I think you get the picture (pun intended).

Cheers
[Samsung Galaxy A70 Real Life Review] crazylachesis:
I posted an article on samsung community with pictures to compare the stock cam to gcam in lower light conditions. Also, I explain how the 32 megapixel sensor ends up shooting 12 MPG photos with "pixel binning". Let me quickly sum that up here as more people were asking this:

The 32MP camera is used in pixel binning mode, that results in a 8 MP shot (4 pixels are grouped as 1), AND the software actually UPSCALES that 8 MP shot to 12 by basically stretching the image with some AI quality retain helping process. What the actual hell. So yeah. Basically this phone takes 8 megapixel photos, which are then enlarged to 12.

:mad::mad: I would have never thought that samsung would pull something as cheap as this on their customers. I'm now at a point that I'm going to use this phone for now, as it was basically free when I joined a phone fleet, but when it will come to my money, I will never opt for a samsung again. This is a shame btw, as the phone itself is not bad actually. Screen is epic, the battery is killer, and oneUI is actually very good, seems quite fluent and polished. Unfortunately the photo quality is not only bad thing (WIFI download speed is sluggish, touchscreen has sensitivity and touch registering issues, and fingerprint sensor is very unreliable), but the most ridiculous is the camera by far.

Below is my topic for the photo quality.

[Samsung Galaxy A70 Real Life Review] Rixil 1:
Honestly, it charges pretty quickly, it just HEAVILY slow down once u reach 80% which is good for battery, but not convenient to me.

from my testings, 0-80% in 60 minutes at OPTIMAL conditions (medium battery save, no wifi, no sync, no location, airplane mode, AOD off, brightness 1%)

i think this is absolutely perfect in every way, just wished I could simply charge it to 100% as fast for long days.
[Samsung Galaxy A70 Real Life Review] Kcetin20:
In my situation the super fast charging doesn't work somehow, or either I don't understand it. From 30-80 takes rough 2 hours. Or is it maybe because of the different country I flashed on?
[Samsung Galaxy A70 Real Life Review] y.erenbektas:
Are you using the original charging cable and power adapter? From 30 to 80 should take only 40-50 minutes.

And to really fast charge, you must close the screen (AOD can work, doesn't matter)
[Samsung Galaxy A70 Real Life Review] Kcetin20:
Yes of course I use original cable and charger,

My setting is optimised and screen is off
[Samsung Galaxy A70 Real Life Review] y.erenbektas:
When the screen is locked and you are charging the phone, does it say "fast charging" on the lock screen or notifications?
[Samsung Galaxy A70 Real Life Review] Kcetin20:
Yes it says fast charging, or does it need to say super fast charging?
[Samsung Galaxy A70 Real Life Review] y.erenbektas:
no it says fast charging, without super. Still, 2 hours to charge from 30 to 80 is not normal at all. Even from 0% to 100% takes only 1 hour and 30-40 minutes. If this keeps happening, I think you should take your phone to a Samsung Service and let them check what's wrong.
[Samsung Galaxy A70 Real Life Review] Kcetin20:
I will try flash stock firmware first after I will check out with service center, anyway thanks for your help.
[Samsung Galaxy A70 Real Life Review] chirogan:
My phone charges from 5 to 85 in 60 mins. And takes 1hr and 30 mins to 100 overall satisfied with the speed. I had an Asus Max Pro m2 and it takes 2 and a half hour from 5 to 100
[Samsung Galaxy A70 Real Life Review] 106IFA:
My A70 charges a little faster than 1% per 1 minute of charge. But the fast charger is not much faster than a regular charger. I get about a little less than 1% per 1 minute of charge on a regular charger.

100% charge on the A70's large battery lasts a long time.

Certain programs will drain the battery though, such as wifi transfer program opened in the background, or bittorrent type programs opened in the background, so make sure to optimize or make sure the apps are closed when not in use.
[Samsung Galaxy A70 Real Life Review] Marcury:
Mine is charging as Rixil 1' s charging. I am very happy with that speedy charging.

A good 5-6 days with 6+ hrs screen on time with medium power savings turned on, greenify in non root mode , disabling apps I don't use and using always night mode with dark wallpaper and keyboard and dark YouTube.

My use is Web browsing, music, some YouTube ( a max of 3 hrs combined)

More than endurance I am concerned with battery health. I have charged mine for like 3 times uptil now and Samsung phone info app reports battery health as 98 %.

My phone is less than month old.

Hi everybody,

Apologizes in advance if this topic has been covered, but I searched the forum and found no answers.

I'm looking for an Unlocking solution for a Samsung sgh-i780, which is a great phone, by the way.

unfortunately I could not find any, and even after upgrading the ROM to the latest available version the phone remains locked.

I have upgraded all three ROM areas, but the phone continues to be locked to a particular service provider. I guess this shows that the un/locking mechanism happens in a different area of the device.

I would appreciate any hints on this subject.

thanks in advance,

rtdias
