New update for Unlocked V40 - V11b - LG V40 Guides, News, & Discussion

Unlocked variant of the V40 has a new update today. Includes the November security patch along with other usability and functionality improvements.
I also managed to take a few before and after shots to see how the camera performs/changed. Looks like they made some changes to the HDR intensity and improved the quality of the telephoto. The HDR is an animated GIF showing the contrast between the two. The telephoto is a side-by-side. I had to drop the save quality of that image down to post but you can see the difference in quality when looking at the tree branch in the middle and the houses behind it.

[Q] Q. Moto G (2nd Gen) front camera issue

Loving my new moto g. The camera has improved in many ways when compared to gen1. However, whenever I click pictures with the front camera especially when not in sunlight the picture comes shaky and blur. I attached a screenshot of how the pic is supposed(screenshot in the camera app) to come n how it ends up coming.
P.s.- I don't have shaky hands
Probably the front camera aperture is not wide enough to take pictures with faster shutter in low light situations. If it sets the shutter speed too low a minimal shake will make your pic blur.
Edit :Can you see what ISO, aperture and shutter speed is being used (check picture details)?
Front camera is one of the worst components on android phones...
Even the rear camera is not that great on the majority of android phones, so nothing to expect that on the new moto g that the front camera would be anything better...

It would take you a second to do the same thing. Don't be lazy m8.
Sadly mine isn't here yet (on pre-order in UK, releases on the 15th. My original Moto G broke a couple of days ago too so it was just as well this is releasing.)
I have a problem with the front camera. In low light condition, my camera suffers a delay in comparison of reality, as if it was lag. Anyone else with this same problem?

yea that would be cool if people could take both a pic with the reg camera and the color os camera so we can compare the difference. Photos are subjective so it might not always look good to ones eyes.

Camera test on OS 9.5.5

So I received OS 9..5.5 first thing this morning and went out and took some video and photos and added my thoughts on the new camera firmware.
https://youtu.be/wIXEsktlEs8
I love the phone, the camera is the weakness, as focus is still an issue. When it takes a good shot, its epic. Let me know if you have any questions etc.
the latest build i have is 9.5.4 and that just updated today

OP may have T-Mobile variant
id be curious to see the difference between Smart Content Detection on and off as i believe it has a difference.
I am in the UK. I got 9.5.4 when I first got phone. 9.5.5 arrived this morning.
Ive tested the new firmware compared to the iphone XS. The op7 still lacks in detail, the images are bit soft. What I was surprised to see is that the focal length of the regular main sensor on the iphone is wider than the wide angle on the op7. Unfortunately the update does resolve some issues but does not take it to the next level.
How the camera work with motion/action shots? Static images look good, but the few pictures I’ve seen of people moving have higher motion blur and ghosting.
Someone try smart Content Detection on and off as i believe it has a difference.
Post images with it on and off let's see the difference!

To be honest, it's not great. I have a Iphone xs too and it's about twice as good for movement/action shots.

General Already got S21 Ultra, ask me anything

So I was lucky to be one of 100 first people who order S21 Ultra Exynos in Thailand. As the part of the campaign, I got the phone early and only need to pay $0.7 (21 Thai Baht) for it. Already got the phone in-hand without any NDA, so ask me anything!
pls. post example fotos , especially night mode.
i have read many reviews, and i am shortly before cancelling it, the camera reviews are bad... :/

I think all three photos look very nice when zoomed to be "full screen" on my 1080p laptop screen. When I zoom to 1-to-1 pixels I see that there is a small bit of jitter in the photo. It looks like you couldn't be 100% steady when shooting (who can? We're talking very small pixels here and your arms were probably outstretched in the air) and the phone was not able to completely remove the sway. But, this is only noticeable when zoomed in 1 to 1. Also, some parts of the image are a bit muddy at that zoom level. I expected this as packing 108MP into a small sensor is basically guaranteed to make the actual pixels a little muddy. In these high brightness pictures the image looks as good as I'd expect. I would not feel bad about being able to get quality like that. Now, that still does leave everyone with the question "what about when it's dark" but we'll see.

The exynos version heats up much faster than S20 FE 5G which has snapdragon 865. It is much hotter than 865 during gaming and i experience some frame rate drop after playing at 1440p for extended period of time. Turning down to 1080p reduce fps drop and reduce heat slightly. However, after idling for a short while, it cool down really fast. Don't know about snapdragon 888 version though.

What's the drain been like on mobile data when not using the phone? Sorry it's a very boring question

Question Defect or normal - ultra wide raw quality

Hi, bought the phone 2 days ago, because it's not with 888, it's not with curved display and has a ultra wide camera with AF and macro capabilities with raw support.
To my surprise, the quality of the raw file from the ultra wide is worse than from the periscope - there are some strange bright dots when you zoom in to 100%, which lead to overall bad quality of the ready image. I guess they are the phase focus pixels, but they shouldn't be visible without any heavy editing.
So, is it just me, or the problem is global, so I know how to proceed with this? I'm leaving a crop depicting the problem.
Are you sure the ultra wide angle has AF? but yeah it looks weird...

You are right, the Edge 20 review on GSMArena mentions the AF for wide angle. A good thing, but it's strange that the ultra wide angle pictures seem a bit blurry then. Did you try with Gcam?

Which Gcam version you use? Try enabling Sabre and see if it makes a difference.
I tried the latest bsg, but removed it, cause the results weren't satisfactory or better than using the stock app as a real camera.

Hey did you manage to solve this issue? Any suggestions for the lackluster RAW outputs from the stock camera app??
The battle is legendary. Still no success defeating the defect. If it is a demozaicing problem, Motorola should fix it.

THanks for the reply. I wonder how happy you are overall with the cameras? I've found that the front facing one is quite dark and has WB issues. In general the photos coming out of the stock camera seem riddled with artifacts and oversharpened.

Camera Is great as I see in reviews from owners and websites .
I don't even bother shooting in jpg, this is Motorola and they suck in camera performance and resolution logic.
But, I shoot raw, which is possible even with the selfie cam, and after a minute of editing I get sharp and impressive images, and that's why I bought it - the sensors itself are quite capable. If I find a solution to the problem with the ultrawide, the phone is a keeper...

Answered already here. Jpg from phones and actual cameras suck. The raw from gcam is also worse than using the phone as a real camera. Here's an example, learn photography if you expect miracles from a tiny sensor...
