Yes o. Even up to white balance. Those phones won the likes of iPhone and Samsung because they perform OK with automatic offering impatient users the ease to just click click click and get satisfactory results.
bro I want to ask a question though it might sound stupid but i will ask anyway.

Can a camera app improve picture quality? I always feel like google camera has a better picture quality than my default camera. Though it's very hard to notice the difference but I just feel like it's better. Also some people say camera360 and cymera also inprove quality so I want to confirm from a professional like you.

Apple has never been overrated, they have good products and good brand. Windows is the one being overrated and as for windows 10 there's nothing exciting about it because i use the technical preview version except they add new features to it before releasing the public and more stable version.

If we rate all desktop operating systems with whatever way you wish to rate them windows will never come first except if you're rating according to user friendliness(windows is very user friendly and easy to use compared to others) and number of users and i can tell you confidently that if Apple start licensing mac OS to other manufacturers today it will have more users than windows in less than 2 years (everybody loves Apple including you).

Rating According to User Interface
1. Macintosh
2. Windows (i personally prefer ubuntu U.I to windows but I want to go with the public)
3. Ubuntu

Rating According to Stability
1. Ubuntu and all Linux OS
2. Macintosh
3. Windows

* Ubuntu and Mac rarely crash but windows crash a lot. You'll know that if you're the type that likes testing apps especially beta versions

Rating According to Number of Developers
1. Ubuntu and all Linux OS
2. Windows
3. Mac

* Linux has a lot of developers because it's open source. That's why android has more developers than any other mobile OS.


I did not get those ratings anywhere but I'm sure any computer geek who has used the 3 OS will agree with me.


Finally - Apple is not overrated but it's definitely overpriced. Well everything nowadays is overpriced starting from #50 table water.

It does. Using a Lumia phone as a case study, I remember Lumia camera a better picture quality than the default camera. Even when you update to the latest version, you will see differences like less noise etc.

LOL. I'm not a Pro but I'll try my best to answer. 3rd Party apps cannot give better image quality than that your phone produces by default. What some of these 3rd party apps do is improve the images by adding post processing effect like reducing Noise (Sometimes when you take a Selfie of photo in the dark, it appears to be like there are dust in the pictures) These apps sometimes automatically reduces the noise you see and replace then with the surrounding colours. That can improve the image by its look. But overall I use Camera360 and after adding special effects, your image cannot be more than 8MP even if your default camera shot it at 16 or 12 which reduces the quality. In general they mostly reduces the picture quality but makes the photo looks better. Some of these apps add to the picture size which would be deceiving you to believe they improve the quality.

If you need to used these apps look at their settings. If they don't allow you to save your final photo with the highest resolution it came with, then it has definitely taken something away from quality but the images might look better. Here is an example.

The first image is edited Black and White and I saved it at 20MP with Pixlr Express but when I imported it to Camera360 I forget to save my image with the highest Camera360 offers which it 8Mp and ended up with a 2MP image. Though it looked better with the colours but I never liked it as the quality was Subpar.
They help images look better but don't improve quality. I hope that helps.

I believe you're referring to the 1020. The 930 has 20MP with the Pureview technology like the former.
Re: Best Phone Camera According To Latest Research by martineverest(m): 2:54pm On Mar 29, 2015
I disagre with u....lumia camera(the best camera app) only enhance the picture...the 'noise'u talk about is from d downsampling of the camera to lower pixels.eg,lumia 1020 with 40mp actually downsamples to 8mp so as to reduce the level of noise.camera app dosnt reduce the noise or improve the picture quality but it only enhances the picture in terms of beauty...if u doubt it,use d new lumia camera 5 app of lumia 1520 or 930to take a pics and transfer it to other fones and see d differences

In terms of quality I think they don't help but in terms of image enhancement like Noise Reduction, Banding, Aberrations they help.
If I have an 8MP camera with noise in it and I use a software with removes the Noise in it and still leaves my picture as 8MP, I'll suspect that app. It might replace my noise with surrounding colour and to me that has improved the image but not the quality.

You'll get no arguments from this quarter. I know that, just like the 930 is a better Pureview than the 830.

if e like, carry 100 gigapixel, that is not the issue. pixel is for resolution. doesn't mean the picture quality is better.

almost true, linux Ubuntu is really good. i switch between windows and ubuntu. the issue is there aren't much software for linux except you want to Install wine on your ubuntu pc to run windows apps. but why go through that stress? just stick to windows. almost every hardware is supported but how about the drivers? i lost all my trackpad gestures when using linux because i couldn't install the required driver for the hardware, stuff like that. MB & MBP are really good. they have a good ecosytem, everything is integrated perfectly. you need to use a Mac before you complain about it not being good. i've been there. the fact is most people hate change, you can't compare yourselves with a fellow who owns a mac and is willing to buy every software he wants with his money. cos that's one issue with PC users. they will always look for a cracked version of every paid app. i will too as long as its a windows software. it all boils down to what you like. not everyone likes freedom, it can either help you or kill you. Android Phone rooters can explain better grin

Microsoft phones are really nice. Especially the camera. I recently bought one and so far I have no regrets.

If you like apps and hd games, stick to androids.
i-phone is boring.
Re: Best Phone Camera According To Latest Research by martineverest(m): 4:36pm On Mar 29, 2015
They test was from high end phones of various manufacturers.....lumia 930 is nowhere near 1020 camera facility.

Ubuntu have a lot of softwares (i don't know about games tho) the only problem is you have to install most of them from terminal (command prompt) you can also use ubuntu software manager but most people prefer to stick to terminal. If you're good with terminal you'll love ubuntu or Linux as a whole

The S6 is the best camera we've seen yet, unseating even the great iPhone 6 Plus. Samsung has taken a break from megapixel inflation (staying with the same 16 MP as the Galaxy S5) and zeroed in on image quality. An infrared sensor is meant to help the camera gauge lighting conditions for better white balance, or neutral color cast. That might explain the mostly accurate colors we saw, especially in low-light images. A roughly 30 percent larger aperture over the Galaxy S5's (f/1.9 vs. f/2.2) also helped produce brighter low-light images at faster shutter speeds. Combined with optical image stabilization (a first for the Galaxy S series), the S6 delivered very sharp photos in dim lighting. The camera's phase-detection autofocus is nearly as quick as the iPhone 6 Plus's, and face recognition is dependable. Focus tracking allows the camera to keep your subject sharp while you're shooting video or a burst of photos. Other upgrades, including a 0.7-second startup time and a 5-MP, f/1.9 front cam, make the Galaxy S6 phone camera the one to beat.
