Help Picture quality on web pages

Ratboy32 · Feb 14, 2013

Hi I will cut to the chase...I have recently got a samsung galaxy s3 and have also a htc touch hd wich I have had for about 4-5 years, and I have been comparing the clarity of the pictures on the web and I'm shocked to find that the htc has much better quality pictures over the samsung! The only difference the samsung has is better colour? Question is is there a setting or something to enhance or change the blurry images on the samsung? Or is the htc better as its HD?
Thanks
Paul

It's the tradeoff, I had an HTC as well and it was indeed slightly sharper. But I returned it for the s3 and this phone slays it virtually every category.

Thanks for the reply savatage but I don't understand your reply? I'm just talking about web pictures? What is better mate s3 or htc?

Explain a little more bud. Im confused when you say blurry pictures, i havent seen anything that is straight up blurry or it would drive me nuts. It pretty much banks off what youre looking at. If youre looking at high resolution pics they will look incredible.

Could you supply an example or site that youre looking at with pics that are blurry so i can check it out?

When I view pitctures on the web on both phones the htc is just so much clearer
But I must say when I browse the web on s3 the pages are really small and the clarity of the pictures are spot on, it's just when I zoom in the pictures are basically crap and blurry?

What browser are you using. Just wondering if this is affecting picture quality?

I just took this pic from my phone, i zoomed in on it...its pretty damn good imho:

Is that what you were talking about man? Im just not sure if this is what you mean, that is how that pic looked exactly on my phone.

what network are you on? Have you changed networks? this could be the cause, for example pretty sure O2 in the uk used to (and maybe still do) compress images to save bandwidth. You could be suffereing from something like this. How is it on wifi? If its no better then I wonder if its a setting on the browser itself

Thanks for the replays, I dunno but it seems sorted now, btw I'm on tmobile/orange, and have discovered that when I go on the Internet icon the screen is dark (and yes I have put brightness to max) but when I go on chrome it's as it should be' ie really bright' I have another question though if anybody could help? How do I set the web pages to display really big automatically? I know you can double tap and pinch but I just want too set it up once so that when I go on the web I don't have too keep fiddling with the size! I want the pages at a specific size!? Can you do this?
Many thanks guys
Paul.
