don't do android but if you can find a camera app that allows you to adjust the white balance. It will take the blue tint out of your pictures.

There is really no way to get a good picture from a phone whether it's apple or Android... You can make them less bad, but it is hard to get them to be good.

Look for snapseed app. It works well.

If you cant turn down the blues turn them off and use another source of whites and s5 is water proof, get inside the tank and take pic's. I'd like to see them

I took this photo tonight under blues only. Then used snapseed to as just warmth. I did 100% then 100% again. It looks pretty spot on now

I think my s3 does a pretty good job (way better than my sony point and shoot).. helps to turn whites up, then play with different settings. I keep white balance on auto, the other pre-sets just make color funky imo. HDR mode takes pretty good pics, otherwise I usually keep it all in auto and simply play with the exposure values. for a cell phone I think the galaxy has a pretty good camera...

I was told about a Macro Lens for the Galaxy S5 that is supposed to be cheap and works really well. Has anyone heard this? And have any info?
