Horrible camera

vevs

Dear Umi Support!
Please, tell us: is there any chance that your programmers will fix the biggest disappointment in this phone - awful snapshots quality (back camera)?

Hello again!
Are you serious? This is called "approximately the same result"!?

Of course i did, i tried out all firmwares. Unfortunately, there is no difference - all snapshots have ugly noise (looks like stochastic raster). I posted link to three photos: two made on 0603 / 0619 firmwares and one made by TCL S950 (weak 13MP camera). Zoom to any object and you can see what i mean:

Do you see an improvement if you set the resolution to 8MP with 4:3 aspect ratio? Because this seems to be the native resolution of the camera (all the 16:9 are crops or even worse enlargements)

Unfortunately - the difference is minimal. I added photos at different resolutions (link above). It is known that in eMAX installed sensor OV8858, but photos are very "noisy" even for it

Hi. I've got the factory KitKat 4.4.4, haven't upgraded yet but all the pictures are very "grainy", even at 4MP.

I have to say, that I also am a bit dissappointed by the camera, especially the graininess of pictures as soon as you zoom in a bit. I could not believe that a 13 MP cam, especially the sony imx214 can be so bad.

Hi!

Try it the A Better Camera Unlocked! Much better image quality than stock camera app!
