Yeah, but gets schooled by the camera of the iP4s and HTC One.
So you're saying Samsung's camera on their last gen phone, which was better than any HTC camera ever made, isn't as good as the camera on HTC's brand new flagship phone that hasn't even been released in the USA?
And this is supposed to be some sort of knock on Samsung cameras?
Just read your edit...
Samsung has never put out a "bad" camera. I don't think you need to worry about the quality of the camera on the Galaxy S 3. Samsung consistently had the best cameras in the WinMo days, and they have consistently had the best Android cameras too.
If you're worried about future cameras, you should be concerned with the Evo LTE. HTC is the one who historically hypes a camera and it turns out to be crappy.
