You read it and saw it right. Business in the front, gargantuan camera in the back. Let’s take this ugly and gorgeous specimen for an adventure in 2024 and see what kind of damage we can do.

Once again a reminder that no matter how good the software gets, physical lenses are just really awesome. Sub 100 compact cams with real optics from 10 years ago can still make better zoom pics than modern phones for 1500 bucks.

@@shawonahmed5775 Yep and it will never be able to do a 9x zoom, or a 6x zoom or a 15x zoom as everything is fixed to one focal length. These cheap digital cameras are able to go for the full range (24mm-200mm and everything in between) whereas the phone cameras are fixed permanently at a certain focal length and have to use digital zooming to achieve all these other focal ranges.

It is and it isn't - if it was just a normal long exposure, the entire image would become progressively lighter, this works in a vaguely similar way to how the 'live composite' mode works in Olympus cameras, where it takes a base exposure then progressively adds only the very lightest parts of the image (like lights, stars etc) over a period of time while keeping the base exposure the same. Pretty crazy to see that in a phone really!

Being able to change the battery was SO useful. When one was low you just swapped it out. Now you've gotta carry around a heavy external battery to charge up the battery in the phone. So much less inefficient. I saw plenty of people not knowing you could buy spare batteries though and would still be charging up the phone from an external battery.

It did have issues with the screen, but I believe the new ones have resolved durability to the point you can daily them for 2 years at least, and Samsung will replace the screen for free with extended warranty - only downside is that flips are an expensive business lol. On the other hand you have that Motorola razor that I think is like 700-800$? That's still expensive, but closer to a reasonable price, around flagship price.

This looks incredible. If Samsung made an S24 version of this, I'd be the first in line to by one. Modern smartphones have come some way toward making up for this lack of an optical zoom feature with dedicated 3X and 5X telephoto lenses, but this still seems better.

... You do realize that Samsung has already matched this thing's 10x optical zoom capabilities inside of a standard smartphone form factor with the S22/23 Ultra's periscope lenses, right??? O_o This form factor simply isn't necessary anymore for good optical zoom performance. Lens design and manufacturing has come a long, LOOOOOOONG way since this thing came out. This kind of phone design simply doesn't make sense anymore without a dramatic camera sensor size upgrade vs standard phones, and if you're doing that you're basically just going to end up with a full size DSLR running Android for its OS (which would be FLIPPIN' AWESOME, don't get me wrong!), not a smartphone with a zoom lens on it. 🤷

The compact size, the zoom ring, the myriad features and options and modes… Image quality isn’t the greatest, but it’s capable of some very nice shots. And really I just like it because it’s fun to use, fun to just shoot with it. I wished Samsung did a modern version of this, which won’t happen, I know. But it’s such a fun camera that is just nice to wish for an updated version 😊

Man, as others have pointed out, its amazing how much its held up for being a product of its time. It would definitely be cool to see an updated version of something like this with modern tech in a smartphone, just to see the results and how a mainly hardware supported camera system would compare to the AI infused software camera systems that are popular today. The only other example that i could think of that has done this with modern tech would be the xiaomi 12S Ultra concept phone which allowed you to install an additional lens on the rear cameras of the phone, just like a regular camera. I believe the quality was very good, but it was exceedingly expensive.

Light trace feature works exactly the same as astrophotography or any other long exposure photography type deal - it just opens the shutter for an extended period of time and takes in light over that time leaving those traces where the light went and as an added bonus upping night time image quality to a whole 'nother level by lowering iso therefore reducing noise.

u can do the light tracing trick on any phone just go to pro mode make ISO the lowest possible and lower the shatter speed so the phone will capture light for about 15 sec before generating the picture so that light trace is actually the positions that the car lamps were in that 15 secs

of course, but this phone is from 2012 and the feature was fun for its time. not trying to convince anyone to purchase this over an S24

Well light trace works by letting light enter the lenses for an extended amount of time when you press the shutter.

I suspect you are a pro and know everything there is about light trails already but, it's a cool feature where the shutter keeps open for a long time so more light could enter as such lights are seen as trails. Better to use in on the other lane as the high beam really messes up the shot. The tail lights on the other hands gives a magnificent result

I had one back in the day. I loved it. The problem is it doesn't fit in your pocket at all. Eventually my lens broke. I would buy another one though. Miss having a real adjustable aperture. It went down to like f3.5 too, not bad for a little point and shoot cellphone. I'd take one with that S21 100mp sensor.

I had the Galaxy Camera back then, I don’t know if it came out before or after this. It was amazing to have a camera with a freely extendable OS! I had Dropbox on it and some other camera apps, although many didn’t support the zoom

You should put in a custom ROM to put in a newer android version and install GCam on this and see how far you can push the camera.... would be cool to see. Great video as always ❤

Custom ROM ruins camera quality. I once had Mi 4i, and the picture quality is always worse when using custom ROM.

light trace is just a really slow shutter speed, that's why the phone suggest you to use a tripod. you can do a really cool light painting with that features :D on a real camera just set your shutter speed to 15s or 30s depending on the light condition, and or if your phone have a long exposure or light trace mode, just use it

i dont know how to explain it but... the way the photos are taken by the camera look like they are from the 2010s, and the videos it takens are reminiscent of late 90s to early 2000s , its a digital camera photo style. It looks so fun and punchy - even the ratio of the picture, like you can tell its not taken by a smart phone from the current era.

The camera is still very useful today as the sensor size is bigger than the s22u/s23u 3x/10x lens and even s24 ultra's 5x lens, respectively.

I owned this and the Samsung K Zoom(the S5 equivalent if im not mistaken). The image quality is brilliant,even for today. Very sharp,a nice 24-240mm focal length,brilliant OIS. The dynamic range and low light performance is kinda bad tho,not as good as the computational night mode stuff these days,and the screen is downright unusable in bright daylight. But ive used these two phones to hell and back .

@@johnzoid74Nice 👍 btw another suggestion for cool phones would be the Xperia play, its a PSP GO like "gaming phone" but it runs android and doesnt play PSP games (could be emulated tho its a weak spec phone) but games ports of ps1 games for it, games that were available on symbian OS and more, maybe also htc one M8? 😍

I wanted one of these so bad back in the day, I was pissed that just a bit prior I already locked into another phone via contract. I couldn't afford to dump the phone I had and get this one. If they made another "real camera" with a huge sensor built in with a good manual zoom I'd get one. I guess my Nikons will have to do. This phone was magical back then and in some respects is unmatched to this day.

It said how Light Trace works in the phone when you selected it. It uses a very long exposure to capture the lights moving.
