The Pixel 3 uses the Sony IMX363 for the rear camera so it may be possible. However, they seem to not want you to use 60fps for even 1080p as there is no option for it in the stock camera app.
Will do it in the next software update.

You're too funny. You mean to say in the next model, ala Pixel 4. They very rarely "fix" things, let alone add a feature beyond the spec sheet, that are considered working as intended.
Ignore me. I am just bitter. I just sent back my brand new $850 Pixel 3 because it does not shoot in [email protected] like most flagship 2015 phones.
Better luck next time.

Too bad you didn't check the specs first before sending it back. It automatically bumps the recording to 60 FPS when it detects fast motion or action in the scene. It's supposed to be a feature, not a bug.

Oh I did check the specs. It's says 60fps. I can't set it to 60fps. So the spec sheet is wrong. It should say "up to 60fps" or 30/auto* with small print to say something along the lines like (*we decide for your dummy, so it's variable). Then this would be correct, but that's not how this works NOR how it's works on most flagship phones since 2015.
Imagine if your TOP OF THE LINE car specs stated a top speed of 60 mph, but it automatically can go 60mph if it detects fast motion or action, otherwise it goes 30 or some variable of this. It's one thing if we were talking about the worst car on the planet, but that's not the case.
To each his own. Glad you like the new "feature" as you call it. Enjoy those 30fps 1080 videos on your $850+ phone. Have fun

I understand your preference and sarcasm, but I, and probably most consumers don't record videos very often. I don't care if a 30 second home video clip is recorded in HD, FHD, or UHD. They all look the same to me on my 5 inch screen. Buy a pixel for the photos, not the video.
Yes there is, have to switch between 60 and 30 when about to shoot video

Yes, I know it's not ideal, but it is practical. You don't need 60fps to record a dialogue heavy scene. You do want it during a brief moment of fast action. Supposedly, Google is smart enough to recognize when to use it. That's a feature just as much as auto HDR... which we all love.

I just saw that for the Pocophone there is a 4k 60fps mod, which enables chosing the framerate in the stock camera app. Is that (technically) possible for the Pixel 3 too?

Hi, anyone here noticed watching HD videos via the Youtube app to be unsharp, washed out and dropping frame rates? I compared it to my Galaxy Nexus side by side and I noticed that the videos dropping frame rates. Feels like my Galaxy Nexus runs 60fps and the Nexus 5 30fps.
Would like to know if I am the only one experiencing it? Please share your thoughts.
Cheers!
Yes I would agree

I will definitely agree with you. Video playback (HD even) is not sharp and washed out. Looks almost interpolated for some reason. Tested side by side playing exact same video over fast wifi with a HTC One and a Nokia Windows phone. I thought it was just me, thanks for bringing this to attention... a lot of things annoy me about the N5 but I won't go into that.
If someone is used to premium hardware such as an HTC One, then this is most definitely NOT a phone to "upgrade" to just for the sake of the new OS. N5 is definitely not a premium build, but it's not priced as one either... It is also just not as responsive in many aspects next to my One and I used both for a day. For someone coming from a more inferior handset though, it no doubt would be an upgrade. To each his own
I am seeing this on youtube but not on other apps. Hulu, Netflix, etc... all look great and stream smoothly even on HSPA.

Yeah, I think so too. Let's hope this is only related to optimization and not hardware related. I think we need this thread to be active and maybe get the attention of Nexus 5 users and hopefully by Google. I really don't want to think "we got what we paid for"
But for the specs inside this beast, I am expecting a bit more.

That's a bit better but still ludicrous for a phone with Snapdragon 800. I am guessing it has something to do with 4.4 compatibility. Either way, I hope they fix it before I get my next phone.
Yes, I'm also seeing this issue on my Nexus 5 which is very annoying as YouTube is my most frequently used app :laugh:
For most videos, it's fine, but for video where there are fast action scenes (i.e. sports videos), the problem is very noticeable and the videos are barely watchable.
I was considering selling the phone just because of this and going back to my Nexus 4.
Yeah, the Youtube app is broken. There's a lot of stuttering going on.
Live wallpapers seem to have this problem as well. Please let Google know that this is occurring in their product forums.

There is an alternative app called Viral on the playstore. I've ended up removing the YouTube apk as Viral is simply better but I don't know if it will address all your concerns. I don't notice stuttering on either my N5 or 10 but do see buffering on occasion which is seen on both the stock YouTube app and Viral. Personally I think this is a Google server/services issue or Android bug because Web access is fast when the buffering occurs.

I think they will definitely fix it by the January update but I wouldn't expect more than what they did for the Moto X.
I'm guessing unlikely. Unlike the Moto G, those other phones got fixes because they were premium devices and have capable hardware, which caused turmoil among their user base pre-fix.
Mostly no one expects a budget phone such as the Moto G to do better than it already does.
Unlikely...it's just the way it is

The shutter speed is good, but the quality of the photos is not very good in dim lighting. Sometimes it is necessary to take more than one shot to get a satisfactory result.

Yep, the same here. Can't wait for my order to arrive...
Bought the Moto G for £99 here in the UK and was a choice between the Sony Xperia L for a similar discounted price and the camera on the Moto G is worse than my HTC Desire from several years ago! I'm still within the 28 returns period so could possibly buy the Sony to test at home too but even with the new camera update, pictures have so much noise I have actually checked the glass covering the lens several times for any plastic etc they might have left on it for packaging. Apart from the camera the Moto G feels like a £300+ phone but I think the Sony Xperia L which has 8MP Camera as well as MicroSD slot etc might be the better phone for the same money.

You can make out the pixels in certain content, I noticed that streaming sometimes improves as the video progresses. You can certainly notice the difference between good quality content and not so good quality content.
I will tell you that its pretty damn good compared to most other VR that I've tried though.
Silly question but did you play with the focusing wheel at the top? also make sure its a tight fit and try moving the headset around on your head as it might not be sitting perfectly in front of your eyes.

I did try several contents, but its also the Userinterface which is not clear to my eyes.
And yes, I did try the wheel, but I dont mind silly questions, I'll try to move with my head!
was playing with this, the effect is amazing its just the resolution aint the best some of the content is just very bad , i tried the cinema and that was really amazing experience the seats next to you seem so real, i can only imagine when quality is like what we get with 1080p on tv screen then it would be something id probably watch movies on , this just seems the beginning , cant wait till it gets better
I have had a gear VR since the early developer edition for the Note 4. The new Gear VR supplied with the S7 is a great improvement. But I am afraid the resolution will always be a bit fuzzy, as essentially you are viewing the screen very close to your eyes and then magnified. You will see the pixels like you would if you used a magnifying glass against the screen. It's the limitations of the technology mostly and this is why I was hoping for a 4K screen on the S7 this time around as that would improve things a lot, as would some of the movies being shot in a higher resolution.
As a side note remember to wipe your phone screen as clean as possible before inserting into the VR and make sure that you do not touch the lenses as you do so. Any greasy smudge (or fibre from a cloth) will impair the viewing.
In my opinion, considering how relatively cheap the Gear VR is and how much content is available which continues to grow, it still is a fantastic experience overall. Samsung have got the ball rolling and we can only expect this technology to improve.

I don't know what the S6 developer edition is like. I am comparing the original Gear VR "developer edition" that was released with the Note 4, to the ones that are now shipping with the S7, so you personally may not see too much difference. But it's lighter, less bulky, has better ventilation, more comfortable padding, a micro usb port for charging on the go and is compatible with various galaxy phones now.

It's a hardware limitation, not a software limitation, your front camera doesn't have the same quality as the rear camera. I doubt you'll improve the quality much at all.

I don't own and haven't used S8, have you looked in the S8 forums here to see if anyone has tried improving it?
I wasn't really suggesting that you get iPhone. I wouldn't own one either. I was more or less saying that android and iPhone are not equal. iPhone focuses on the highest quality hardware which is why their devices are so popular and have the price point that they have. Android manufacturers don't focus so much on hardware as Apple does, android does this to keep the cost of the device down in order to attract more customers. If they focused on hardware like Apple, they probably wouldn't sell as many devices because consumers would say "if I'm going to spend that much then I may as well just get an iPhone and have better hardware"
