Same issue anyone?
Laggy in what way? The UI, camera interface or shutter speed?
The phone is junk.
Half baked software on the camera, plenty of hardware issues. Instead of releasing 5 phone a year Sony should stick to 1/2 and refine the software/hardware.
Its 2017 and the camera software and output is now basically behind that on the iPhone 6. Hell my Z3 compact takes better pictures.
I'm sorry you feel that way... Go back to iPhone! This is the best handset from Sony in sometime now and none of the problems you mentioned have been highlighted. You must be having a localized issue so stop thrashing categorically as it's isolated to you. Constructive criticism goes much further than complaints

I guess you refer to the camera speed when shutter key is pressed half-way (autofocus locked in). This is "normal", it's because the predictive capture is on, the camera is taking a lot of pictures, it happens in auto mode. Try to switch to manual mode and see if the problem still occurs.

when im shaking it, "fps" drops, while on xperia z is butter smooth, haha...
Man, thats unusual. I sell Sony Devices and eceryone thats had The same problem Was because they were pushing The Camera bottom (the physical one) unintentionally. Please next time check it carefully and let we know
I never really had any problems with the camera or the phone itself.
You're bound to find a lot of posts regarding issues with ANY phone, because more people are likely to post a complaint rather than praises.
Regardless, all phones have issues. If you don't like it, simply sell/return it and move along. No need to be salty.
The camera takes great still shots, but even the smallest amount of movement results in terrible blur. Is this normal?
I just cleared the camera data do I'm shooting on default settings.
Here's a picture of my child simply smiling and jabbering to me. Is this normal?
Id say if I take 10 pictures of her, only 1 is clear (caught betwen normal bodily twitches and stuff)
With this camera like this it'd be near impossible taking pictures of my dog unless it was sleeping. Is this your experience as well?
Are their pro settings that make it better?
Yes because no OIS ?
normal after emui 5 terrible optimization & shutter lag...emui 4.1 didn't have this shutter lag problem
our terrible sluggish processor don't even support google cam which has zero shutter lag

yeah the EMUI 5.0 sucks in this regard, at-least and strange part is, Huawei was not even aware of this unless this was reported to them in recent fan meet in India. Hope we get fix soon for this.

I hope at least they fix it now after reporting in fan meet... No word upto now is disappointing... Not even a single update in past 2 months after b340?? added to this, wapp notification lag... It made me put wapp in deep sleep using greenify & open it once in a day & sync messages when i don't/can't use phone for 10 minutes...
I knew some people from our group that uses Huawei GR5 2017 (Honor 6x) and they have observed that the quality of the front camera (in photos and videos) are a bit grainy (or maybe too bright to be true). Build number is on B370. Anyone experienced this? Or any workaround? Thanks.

Disable the beauty mode and it should be bit better. This over exposed thing has been notified to honor officials and they said they will inform their R&D to resolve this
The issue was not limited to the images taken using the front camera. It includes the video quality of the front camera - which doesn't have a Beauty mode.
They received an update just now, but it is just limited to security patches and voLTE and they've advised me that there was no fix on the camera that came with it.
Hello ever since I updated to B370, the star track mode is not working for me anymore. Everytime i try to capture, it will all became white (overexposed). It used to be good when I was in B360. What could have happen? Or what could i do to fix it?

Hello thanks for the reply. I'll try it later
Does anyone else have issue with noise crackling sound when recording a video? I have determined that it is not just my phone, but my wife's phone does this as well. Also, I have read online(linked below) that others have had this issue since the Note 5 was upgraded to Nougat 7.0. I have recorded with some other camera apps(Open Camera, Cinema FV-5, ) and have had mixed results, but have found some that do not have this crackling. It seems to happen when there is a lot of bass, like at a concert. With there being a difference in apps, could it be the post processing/encoding of the video audio that is causing this?
So, I am wondering if there will be a bug fix or another update soon to the Note 5, but I am not holding my breath. I also do not want to root and custom ROM this time due to actually liking Samsung Pay

You lost me at "liking samsung pay", but I've heard some background noise that shouldn't be there yeah.
This phones 48mpx camera shutter speed is too low, you can not take bust shots, for bust you need to change to 12mpx which is annoying.
I personally dispontted from this, Also brightness is a big issues in outdoors, im also using honor 8pro and outdoor i use 50% to 60% brightness. And for tbis phonr brightness level is 96% huge difference between brands.
During calls suddenly u r not able to hear voice of other person,just for a freakction of time.

You shouldn't ever change it to 48 mp unless you intentionally either want to take worse photos or if you just like large numbers. It's 12 mp by default for a reason.
Set the phone to auto brightness for the highest possible brightness. If the brightness level is fine at 96% then what is the problem?
The display tests I've seen put them both in the 450-550 nits range so the maximum brightness shouldn't be all that different.
The last part sounds like reception issues. From what I've heard the antennas aren't exactly the best so that's something any buyer has to live with or hope Asus sends out an update that can alleviate the problem although I don't expect that to happen.

I never said it was a good buy.
There was no long speech; where did that come from? It was a simple response to your issues or rather (mostly) non-issues.
What's the major problem exactly? The only real problem was the signal reception but it also sounds like it's intermittent.

And neither of them has 48 MP camera. It takes longer to process and save 48 MP pictures due to large file size, that's why burst mode is not possible. I'd suggest you to do some research about it.

Now you're straying away from your own question. You were talking about the unavailability of 48 MP burst mode.

So you just wanted people to agree?
Megapixels don't really matter. A lot of things go into making a good camera. However that wasn't the original issue. You complained about taking photos at 48 megapixels being slow. You've been told two things in regards to that:
1) set it to the default 12 mp because that's what it was made to do; it's meant to do pixel binning for the best quality and speed.
2) large megapixel counts require more data meaning it's slower. That's how it's meant to be.
In short: there is little to no reason to take pictures at 48 mp.
Sorry for a bit of offtopic (ignoring OP's "problems") but what's wrong with antennas? I had a Galaxy S4 and that was a nightmare in terms of cellular connectivity. If there are problems with calling, do they affect network connectivity in any way?
In my Zenfone 6 the flip camera while working in main camera in 48 MP tends to stop working either in selfie mode or rear camera mode whenever I flip. It's temperamental as sometimes main camera works only in Selfie mode then in rear camera mode it whites out the screen. Sometimes it works only in rear mode but in selfie mode it whites out. Can't make out what is the problem. Hopefully an upgrade will solve it.

Software can not solve hardware issues, like poco phone hearing error if u tilt a little, same with this phone having some mechanical errors which can not solved by software updates, sad but true.

For me, 4G with airtel network in India is giving 19Mbps download speed which is similar to s10+ where I get 18 to 19 Mbps.
I heard there are A, B and C modals of this device not sure if network issues exist in few type/modals.
167 new firmware released primarily to address camera and call quality issues.
OP can check if new firmware helps.

There was an update yesterday claiming to address the flip camera issue however my mobile camera continues to have the problem. From what I understand the image flipping creates the problem on my mobile. The main camera flips images on final position in selfie or rear camera mode & exactly at that point where the image correction is supposed to happen my screen whites out intermittently.
Can someone please help & advice.

My friend, we have to accept this is a experimental phone, like i remeber my nokia N900 that was outstanding phone by Nokia But lot of software and hardware glitches,
Same with this phone,
Z6 had hardware issues which is not salve in future with software updates.

Just wondering many claims here, I have been using 8 / 256 Gb model for few weeks now. Everything works just fine.
Asus camera is a good one. No need for GCam, but you can install it too (just like I did). Just install the latest arnova8G2 for Zenfone 6 (camera API2 is supported by Asus, so you need just install GCam).
I prefer usually Xiaomi phones, but I decided to chose this one instead of waiting Global K20 Pro. Just happy with my new Asus Zenfone 6.
After use of 1 month this phones camera works slow portrait mode woks slow one single picture takes 4sec to process which is very slow if we compare with one+, image process time is too slow of 6z

If you need Asus attention then post it in their forum: https://zentalk.asus.com/en/categories/zenfone6/
Oh, you already did, that was fast
Anyone else notice this? I did find a small thread on Samsung.com so not sure if its a hardware issue or if all of them have it. - https://us.community.samsung.com/t5...t-flickering-on-video-recordings/td-p/2209967
Seems to only do it at 60fps options 1080p60 and 4K60.
Except its just not flash light related or LED light related. It'll do it outside as well Highly annoying!
I tested it and don't have this issue.

Its not a 100% all the time issue. Its under certain lighting specific lighting conditons. Usually lower light for me
for low light always use auto fps. it was tested to show its actually better and brighter and clearer

Last year on the 12 Pro Max Auto FPS ruined a video that couldnt be remade. It for some reason switched despite being in the bright outside, on top of that it recorded 24fps and made the clip choppy. Not saying samsung would do this but its not worth the risk keeping that enabled.
But the weird flickering has happened with it being bright outside as well

something doesn't seem to be syncing. i would say the flickering is due to hardware more than software. but yea i only switch on auto fps in low light and its been impressive. i forget where but there's a video of the s22u side by side and auto fps was much more preferable since it could slow down frames meaning it would be brighter with less artificial noise reduction
Looks like a PWM frequency issue depending on the brightness of the (flash LED).
Literally just made a thread about this. The exact same problem. Glad to see i'm not the only one, because I wasn't able to find any other person experiencing this. You can see my example videos here:
Is it normal that my camera flickers on videos when the lighting level changes ? Does it happen on you too ?
It's not happening because of the lamps above, it happens on natural lighting too. It happens when camera focuses to a new area where the lighting level is different. Is this a defect, or is it the same for everyone ? Here are 2 example videos...

Hope it's not a hardware problem and they fix it with an update
I'm so happy to say that May update I just received (S908EXXU2AVDA) fixed this problem. Can you check if it's fixed for you too ? @hyelton I tried every specific condition that it flickered before and it doesn't flicker anymore, made me happy that it wasn't a hardware problem and they were aware of the issue.

Example
I can hand my phone to my mom and set it to 60hz. And low power mode. She will think it's crazy fast and no lag. When it most certainly is not LOL
She does now find her old S10 slow after using a S21 FE the past few weeks.
