Android vs iPhone photo apps

July 11th, 2011
First of all, really sorry to anyone who's commented on my photos and i've not replied/people whose photos i normally comment on... summer is getting quite fast-paced and i'm finding a lot less time to sit looking through everything on here! I will make it up as soon as i can, i swear! :)

Main point: the lovely people at Samsung have given me a new Galaxy Pro phone, and now i have to decide whether i want to move on from the love of my life, the trusty iphone.
One of the things i want to take into account is which phone i can get the better photos with sooooo, which apps do you android/apple fans find the best when it comes to photography?

Thanks for any help you can give me :)

Surely it's not the apps but the phone, the lens and its sensor that makes the better camera phone? The iPhone 4 has a 5mp sensor so it's probably better (unless you have an old version?)

Funny you bring this up because my contract is up and I was torn between the iPhone 4 and the Samsung Galaxy S2, and one of the reasons I decided on the latter was because of the 8mp sensor takes clearer and better quality images.

@vikdaddy this is true! i have a veeery old (old in this context anyway!) iphone 3g, so there's not actually a lot i can do with it, whereas the samsung has panoramic etc options.

the s2 seems like a good choice, a few of my friends have that and it seems like a good quality option! thanks!

I don't use my cameraphone often (android)...but there's not an awful lot of choice app-wise in terms of photography available (loads that can distort you etc, but very little that do useful stuff). The best one I came across is called Vignette. If you type that into the marketplace it comes up straight away.

I wouldn't choose a cameraphone based on its apps mind. But if you DO end up buying android, Vignette is pretty useful.

Hi, i think the camera on my Android "Verizon Incredible" is amazing for a phone. I do have apps but only for fun.

android, i use the photoshop app the most and if i am bored i play with camera 360 and fx camera. i shoot most of my photos for the project on the samsung galaxy s. when i had an iPhone i used photoshop the most as well.

Thunderbolt has a 8mp sensor, I used Retro Camera when im bored and dont have my DSLR handy. 360 is not bad. Otherwise just take the shot w/ default cam and edit in Photoshop imo.

The quality you can get from a phone camera these days is actually rather shocking imo.

@lluniau @emeraldboots @cchambers @3nder thanks all for your comments! it seems android is a pretty unanimous vote. i'm definitely going to bear this all in mind... the camera on this phone is clearly better! thanks :)
