SGS3 aperture size = f/2.65

HOX aperture size = f/2.00

N8 aperture size = f/1.80

Smaller f-stop = larger camera sensor = faster lens = lower ISO possible = lesser noise = better image quality
*
WHAAAAAT???

Aperture size is not in directly relevant to sensor size.

Yes it's smaller aperture lens is expensive, but there's other thing to look after too,

leica f1.8 and canon f1.8 lens for example it's not always better.
Also we would not want to use large aperture lens to shoot scenery as less DOF meaning some part would be blurred out..

In a camera phone, where the sensor is puny tiny small, there's not much use of having a big aperture.
btw sensor is sensor, aperture is aperture.. then there's shuttle speed and ISO, which is the triangle rules of determining how good your photographs with turn out.. skill and composition ..
*
This has got to do with reducing purple fringing due to wide angle lens. But this is a whole other topic which is not related to small sized sensor and narrow FOV like those on phone's camera.

Repeat after me: shutter, shutter, shutter.

Shuttle is a transportation. laugh.gif

theoretically yes.

actually any number below f2.8 is adequate for low light shooting, but of course, the smaller the better for the f-number.

in respond to your question. It will assist the s3 to perform better in low light when compared to non-BSI sensor like s2.

but head to head comparing with other BSI smart phone cameras like the iphone 4S, Xperia S and the HOX, then we will need actually sample pictures to see how well it performs.
*
Galaxy S already using a 5mp BSI sensor, I believe S2 did as well.

o rly? y Samsung didn't mention anything about it.

If that's the case, then it explains y HOX is using the same sensor as s2.


Added on May 8, 2012, 3:37 pm
the article is posted on Feb.. hmm.gif

At least the product code was right? -- S5K3H7

This is regarding S2's BSI sensor:

I can't verify if they are genuine, sometimes you just have to take it if you are not the 1 to pry open the device. laugh.gif

really, no wonder I always feel my S1 response well during low light capture especially with stock camera...

It was quite a good sensor for low light. I find it better than GNex's even.

I have yet to find the article that stated it's BSI sensor. Wait until I get it. I found a lot of HTC One X vs Galaxy S (I9000) comparison though. doh.gif

the only thing i think is better on the One X is the screen and design... Thats all... not even Sense UI attracts me... I always prefer TouchWiz over Sense...

I can live wit the s3 design actually... the only thing is the screen i would say i really favour the One X much more... Hopefully its not as bad as I think it would...

Using the TI OMAP S2G currently, would like to try out the Exynos chipset... din like my Tegra 2 Xoom, and is one of my reason not going to the Tegra 3 One X....
*
My advice to you, try out Galaxy Nexus / Note at Samsung showroom. Count the pixels if you want. Then you might change your mind.

Magnifying glass disqualify.

the S2 did well in both of these and I believe S3 shud be better perhaps ???? Sifus here any advise whether I am on the right track... but not taking Note as an option because it is really not pocketable enuf for me...

forgot to add another plus point for One X... the Capative buttons and with the multitask button.. i love those... but i can see its hard to pressed as in the accuracy of getting it hit is low... always see reviewers having tough time pressing it LOL...
*
If you are satisfied with S2, trust me, you will with S3 as well. Pentile is not visible by looking at it with naked eye. I can testify this as I'm currently using GNex. smile.gif

Hold Home button to call up the task listing.

You also have not mention about 8.6mm thicker than s2 8.5mm. lol  shakehead.gif , people are just like that, but a pentile display really almost deal breaker for me.

Can I assume that you have already looked at GNex's display thoroughly?

Nooooot quite, if you see what was interpreted by what the person said about woodchuck can chuck wood. The sentence captured was partial. The rest, probably Google magic. laugh.gif

I know that, rumour has it that it's called Majel laugh.gif  My main point is what will become of S Voice? Integrate it with Majel?

Nah, most likely S Voice will remained in TouchWiz, unless Sammy decided to drop TW altogether. Remember Vlingo?

Never show the boot up of the device. doh.gif

AccuWeather apps was said to have some bugs/compromise location privacy back in S2's time. I wonder why they still include it in S3.

but if not mistaken the phone need to put above the wireless charging kit
not sure rclxub.gif
ya haha, I wonder can charge other phone or not @@
and dunno how it work also
bluetooth, NFC ??
furthermore, is it must put the phone above / near the wireless charging kit to charge the phone ?
if not get powerbank better, lol

I didn't read it properly. Description said it can charge up to 2 devices at 1 go.

Wireless charging is basically like those electric toothbrush. If you have 1, you'll understand why and probably how it works. Shouldn't have anything to do with NFC, but it doesn't negate the idea that power might comes through the NFC antenna (coils?). *shrug*

But if can charge up to 2 devices at 1 go, it's good to go!

actually what is the point of having wireless charging if the phone still need to put on the dock (or whatever you called it)..since the phone can only be charged when it is on the dock, might as well use normal cable to charge, as we still can move the phone around within the cable distance...

if the wireless charging concept is something like wifi..then we will talk  cool2.gif
*
There are a few advantages of having wireless charging over cable:
1) charge without connecting the cable. Sometimes it's kinda difficult to get it in if you are not looking. Especially if you are using cases where it has protector rubber plugs that goes into the usb port on the phone.
2) You can reserve the cable for data transfer/adb related stuff when connected to your phone. Not sure if it would speed up the charging though.
3) usb connector at the bottom of the phone is quite inconvenient, at least for me. I have to use my phone rotated 180 deg. With wireless charging, I can have my phone laid flat in any orientation.
4) no more unplugging the cable if there is incoming call and your charging cable was not long enough. Just pick it up off the charging pad and answer. Put it back and it charges again. How convenient is that?
