Since the phone has downgraded from OLED to TFT I highly dount it will recieve an upgrade in camera quality. And in a lot of places the price of the blade is going up because it's so hard to get hold of.

The ZTE skate will be more or less a faster Blade with a better camera. The cost of all the parts add up, and in a budget phone, the camera is probably considered to be one of the less important things.

I wouldn't call TFT a downgrade, more a sidegrade. OLED supply dropped far below demand around the time the Blade came out; HTC switched almost all of their OLED phones to TFT also.

As for the camera, you can get nicer looking shots if you use a camera app other than the stock andriod "camera" app. I can't sing the praises of lgcamera enough, it exposes many more settings that you can fiddle with. It will also let you shoot 800x480, H.264/AAC/MP4 video, somewhere between youtube's 480p and 720p quality.

Here are a few shots I've taken with lgcamera:

(Much better control over saturation)

(this one was very early in the morning while it was still pretty dark, using the longest exposure / night compensation possible)

are you using lgcamera free or pro?

[Guest Roph]

Free, from what I can tell there's no difference between the two, just the developer is giving you the option to contribute. The next time I feel like paying for an app, I most likely will be buying lgcamera pro. :D

Do you have some recommendations on lgcamera's still-picture setting? I have tried those pretty much but not really sure which settings to use! (Your lgcamera's video-capture setting were excellent btw, thanks!)
