If anyone thinks that any of the S10 range take pictures akin that of a flagship, they are quite obviously not interested in photography at all and honestly should not be commenting in a thread flagging the pathetic imaging on the S10.   Given that one of the biggest sells of the phone was its camera, for it to be this bad is quite frankly embarrassing.    I have been a Samsung fan for a long time now and they peaked and got complacent at the S7 level of cameras. Those were 100% on point at that time. They sat back and basked in their glory.................and then watched as every other competitor passed them by.   I understand that, these things happen. But to just leave it at that and not even remotely try and address this weakness (which quite clearly could be done in software) is the worst part. They dont listen. They don't even remoteley care.   This is a much MUCH bigger issue for Samsung.    Every other competitor has listened to their customers and responded accordingly. Oneplus, Google, Apple and Huawei all do this.  Samsung seem to just think that saying "it's ok" and "next time" is acceptable but it just wont cut it for those of us who dished out the cash for a flagship product and received a camera that is getting truly wrecked but mid and even low tier phones.   Pro tip. if the camera is turd and you know it, don't big it up as a feature. Becuase when it is found to be lacking, it becomes a flaw as it is now and I would argue that was once Samsung's biggest strength is now it's weakest yet most important phone component right now.   I mean, I utterly hate Apple products but honest to god, just think back to Samsung mocking the iPhone notch right now. Boy apple could go to town on Samsung for the camera performance in comparison with the iPhone 11 but you know what.......they wont.......as they don't need to becuase it isn't even close to competition. It makes me die inside when I see a company that COULD...............just WONT.   And if we are saying "just wait for the S11 camera" well............as the super-duper new sensor in the Xiaomi has shown, I doubt Samsung even stand a chance in the future. ...

Having done a factory reset after the June update (2 actually, just to tidy up and rule other issues out) I am still seeing the issue.   And a factory reset is not a solution regardless. It just says that some part of an update has left your phone in a state that cannot be fixed.   WHICH IS EVEN WORSE       ... View more

I have an S7 Edge with a smashed screen (tbh, the only reason I upgraded) and I can categorically URGE you to not replace your phone with the S10 (any model) as it is not an upgrade.    The S7 range was so far ahead of its time when launched and that has allowed it to still be relevant today, albeit trading blows with the new mid-range devices.    The S10 on the other hand, was hyped up so much and failed to deliver on every single aspect.     ...

I have to say, the latest May update installed on my S10 and the photos are quite simply still.......absolutely rubbish.   Don't even get me started on "night" mode as that is a whole new level of junk.   At this stage, I am just resigning myself to the fact that Samsung are unable to fix the camera in the S10's and are so far behind the game now I don't think they can recover from that. Their competitors leap-frogged them in the camera department, not sure if Samsung just got complacent, lazy or whatnot but it is a sad show to see them comprehensively smashed in a department that they used to be lauded for.   First phone I have ever had that is a "meh" device and I am now just biding my time until Google produce the Pixel 4 which I think we all know is going to utterly destroy this phone given that the 3 is already doing this. ...

Let's be honest, Samsung quality control is hanging apart right now and they are reeling from the embarrassment that was the "pioneering" fold.   I doubt their focus is on fixing this camera along with everything else wrong with the phone............it wont be fixed any time soon.   The game is lost IMO, Samsung hardware and cameras have completely failed in the present smartphone company and the S10 will NEVER be able to come close to the current flagship stack. I mean, the Pixel 3a camera absolutely wrecks the S10 at a fraction of the cost. Just imagine what the Pixel 4 is going to do to it.   Sad times.   First time I have ever thought of my Samsung phone as a "meh" device and it truly is right now.   I needed a phone quick and liked how the S10 looked and felt and couldn't be bothered switching to the (what i think is inferior) Huawei EMUI.    A bit grim that the only praise I can give a £1000 device is how it looks and feels. That is deep into Apple territory but Samsung owners are not as loyal. Risky times for Samsung.   J ... View more

Hey Libb,   Thanks for the response. Seems you do get something though as I get absoluitely nothing regardless of the application doing the notifying :/   I know there is an awful lot of discussion around this and so many are pinning hopes on Samsung fixing it but as I said, I was told that they are not and that the suggestion is the edge lighting.   I guess that includes the Good Lock add-on that allows the "eclipse" lighting around the camera cutout but with edge lighting in general not working for me, this doesnt either.   Poor show   J ...

Correct.   It is quite terrible.   I did some comparisons last night in a low light (low light, not no light) scenario, S10 (night mode triggered) vs S7Edge and while the S10 was ever so slightly brighter, the actual image it took was horrific. The S7 Edge picture had more detail and less noise but they were both a fudgy mess. And the s7 did it without any scene optimiser cobblers.   The S7 Edge is from 2016 and IMO, it is absolutely on par with the S10 in almost every regard with the camera. Obviously only excluding the ultra wide and zoom lenses.   The irony is, using pro mode provides a bit of an improvement in general photography. But you cannot use the fancy lenses in pro mode.    It is quite staggering how bad it is. ... View more

With the greatest respect Colin........tinfoil and hot glue is actually embarrassing. Oneplus should be ashamed.   That is not the same as what has been done to fool the S10 scanner. To put it into context, the S10 scanner was bypassed without any contact with the owners prints. None.   Was done with a detailed 3d print from a photo. A PHOTO of a fingerprint on a glass.   Despite Qualcomm stating that they map blood flow and pores in the skin etc etc to prevent this.   So we need to know if Samsung are just not using the full security of Qualcomms scanner through software or if it is indeed not able to do this at all.     ...

Samsung, if you could just reply that it is a bit of ***** software you used for the USFPS, that would help an awful lot wouldnt it? It might mean that you could fix it.   I mean, you used the Qualcomm sensor didn't you?   Because Qualcomm state   At its eagerly anticipated launch event, Samsung recently debuted its latest flagship smartphone, the Samsung Galaxy S10. The phone features some of the most cutting-edge mobile technologies. Among them is our premium ultrasonic fingerprint sensor, the   Qualcomm 3D Sonic Sensor, which boasts top-notch reliability, security, and convenience.  Our Qualcomm 3D Sonic Sensor is one of the most-advanced sensors available while also being ultra-thin and cutting-edge, so it can easily be integrated under a device’s display. It’s also future-proofed, so OEMs can confidently adapt the solution for different use cases down the road. It’s a prime example of how Qualcomm Technologies enables our customers to innovate and create today’s leading mobile devices.  Fingerprints on the pulse The Qualcomm 3D Sonic Sensor uses sound waves to read the valleys and ridges of a finger. It does so by transmitting an ultrasonic pulse against the finger, creating a detailed three-dimensional reproduction of the scanned fingerprint. This is a true differentiator compared to other solutions, which use the legacy two-dimensional, light-sensing optical approach.  Our ultrasonic sensor for fingerprint recognition can detect blood flow within the finger and actually prevent hackers from spoofing the device with a photo or a mold. This extra protection is called anti-spoofing, and it takes in additional information from the fingerprint and makes this solution unique compared to legacy optical solutions. Reading the pulses also leads to better performance than optical biometric passwords across a wide variety of conditions and contaminants, including when the finger is wet or dirty.   ... View more

It is *currently* worse than the S7e....................sitting with both here.   Samsung are absolutely cranking the noise in the pictures, anyone that says otherwise are wrong.   Sure you can shoot RAW but i think only in pro mode and you will take bad pictures for about a week   Shame that other phones can fire out JPEGS out of the box that are stunning. ...
