Photo quality

Say "cheese", then rate this thread to express how photos taken with the Honor 7X come out. A higher rating indicates that photos offer rich color (without over-saturating), sharp detail (with all subjects in-focus), and appropriate exposure (with even lighting).
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!

Did not get much time to capture some shots with my new 7X. Here is some images that i took with 7X. All shots are from Auto mods. Nothing edited. Not get a chance to take Potrait shots. I know Potrait shot in 7X is just a joke only.. Its really sucks...

Looking to get this for my mom, but with all the photos I've seen, they're all just... INCREDIBLY DARK...

Dual rear cameras of Huawei Honor 7X works
After seeing these photos, I can only say rear cameras with 16MP f/2.2 and 2-mp works together. Though sometimes the supported light is not enough. But most of the time, it works fabulously.

Try using the front camera in normal lighting condition and than cry in a corner because it just sucks...?

Photos are really bad in lower light conditions. The Pixel Camera port is not available for this chipset
The screen is nice but camera plain sucks

can the camera improve with an update?

For sure but only if someone works on the camera software

Had mine few days 64GB/4GB blue and while yes it's a cosmetic upgrade over 6x I feel camera and performance isn't that much better some tweaking needed and yes low light is horrid

Honor 7x seems to be much promising but yet I am confused if it can perform better than Mi A1. Software is the thing that can revolutionize the hardware functionality like camera.

What if some other phone's camera app is made to use in honor 7x

I'm confused why previous comments were saying the camera sucks. I'm coming from a Galaxy S7 and wasn't expecting much but honestly this thing takes great pictures. Very detailed and crisp in the right predicaments.

I came from a Note 5 and the 7X camera blows it away hands down. I have decent low light photos as well whereas my Note 5 and wife's LG Vista was absolutely horrible.

Yeah it's still not good as the S7 but it's definitely on par with or better than the S6. What more can I ask for. I was totally not expec much out of this camera and was pleasantly surprised. I don't have the lag most people complain about except soentimes opening the camera app. Can't wait til my Oreo OTA finally comes so that's gone.

Pretty decent. This was shot with the aperture function and set to f/1

It´s a cheap phone, so I didn´t expect too much. But after the camera of my Note 4, this phone´s camera is just poor. Very poor. I´m gonna get rid of it , and get my Note 4 fixed.

I really dislike the camera, and I wish that I had read a review about it before I bought the phone. There are two problems. 1) The resulting images are WAY to contrasty. Anything in shadow is pretty much black. Outdoor shots will have a well exposed sky and very dark to black ground. If someone's face has shadow on it, they will be unrecognizable. Which brings me to the second point... 2) The camera does not remember any of your settings when you open it again, except for the flash setting. For example, you can set HDR mode, but it will always revert back to standard mode, sorry! Other manufactures have their cameras remember HDR mode. Or, you can put it in "pro" mode and wade through the menu and move the contrast slider to help the "too much contrast" problem, but the camera won't remember that if you close it and you will have to do that every time you open the application again. I'm experimenting with other camera apps, but you will lose the special features that the phone camera has like the depth of field simulation with the second lens., and you can't use it with features like the "press volume twice to wake up and take a quick picture". I'm really disappointed with it.

Have anybody tried to shoot with custom rom? Can i see sample images? I just want to make sure before i buy it

Camera quality review

Dear Xiaomi Mi Note 3 owners I would like to get the model as everything sounds very appealing, especially battery life, speed.
I am currently a Google Pixel XL (1st gen) owner, I would be tempted to switch to the Mi Note 3.
From your experience so far with the device, can you please provide me some details/opinions about the camera quality?
I would like to know how it behaves in real life scenarios:
- daylight / low light;
- moving subjects/ focus speeds/ blurring moving targets faces, for i.e. children;
- aggresive noise reduction?
- video recording quality.
And last thing how does it compare to the Pixel Camera ,since DXO Mark gave them same score (I know that 90 was achieved due to portrait mode capabilities and bla bla)? Is this change worthy in your opinion?
I appreciate your participation to the thread!

The quality of the photos was what really impressed me, I'll attach some.
Focus speed it's pretty good; about moving subjects, I didn't test yet.
I did like 2 or 3 videos and the stabilization is pretty good as well, even the sound captured.
Battery lasts easy for 2 days, and I have always the wifi or network data On + BT.

Nice pics.
Still wondering about pictures of moving subjects.

According to DXOmark, it's as good as the original Pixel.

MIUI camera app is known for bad lowlight photos and in some cases that is the situation on this phone too. You can have a look here >>> https://flic.kr/s/aHskrQ7jJp
I can not say how much better pictures are when you use ported google camera since i didnt root my phone so i cant use it.

I have it for about 5 days so i haven't big experience but as i have used it the battery is so good.
I started playing psp games(using bluetooth gamepad attached + wifi) from 11:15 to 3:00 and the battery drained from 100% to ~45%.
It was good if you imagine that i had wifi + bluetooth + psp emulator in working continuously

Today I had 7.30h screen time and lasted 2days, with wifi/network on and the most used app was Facebook(the big battery drainer).

Camera quality on MIUI camera app is close to ported Google Camera, but can't beat its HDR+ (enhanced) results. However, it's done in a much faster speed (MIUI vs HDR+ vs HDR+ enhanced = instant vs 1 second vs 5 seconds). With HDR+ turned off, the quality is more or less the same.

Battery life is very good if not amazing.

Great dude .. I will try to buy Note 3 128 version soon. You know the issue that there is no a separate fourm to support this device as well as no developers, and the only custom ROM available is https://download.mokeedev.com/?device=jason.
Thanks.

mi note 3 camera is better than s7 or g6?

On pair if not better. But i would say it can compete with best. Only drawback is night photos but i heard it got fixed in latest china roms.

What about moving targets, children for example? Does it compare to pixel in this matter?

If it is day it is fine but in the night it struggle. I usually take a lot of pics while i walk my dog and i didnt notices during the day that they are blurred.
Put 1 just for example.

What exactly happens in low light? It struggles focusing moving targets, focus becomes much slower, or overall picture quality degrades, like noisy textures, bad color reproduction?

Xiaomi Pocophone F1 vs Huawei Mate 20 Pro

So I did a test between the cameras on these phone, CURRENTLY there is no night mode available, I've seen it on some youtube videos for the same phone in a different region, so I'm sure it'l be included in a future software update. But as things stand now, there's no completion during the night, the image taken with the Mate 20 Pro is clearer, sharper, it's got more detail and less noise than the image taken with the PocoPhone F1.
Anyone know when night mode update will be available in the UK?
Video stabilization is good on both phones although the Mate 20 Pro's is slightly better because it remains sharp during stabilization other than that there isn't much difference in detail, of course the color temperatures are different but everything else is pretty comparable and both phones do well at changing focus between foreground and background objects.
For the price the Pocophone is going for, the photos are great, in daylight the images are sharp and clear, there's good contrast in the images, not overly over-saturated and very true to life. High Dynamic Range is pretty good too, I was pretty surprised at how well it took pictures in very bright conditions. The Mate 20 Pro is still unsurprisingly better in every scenario, it's more flexible with its additional wide angle and zoom lens, it has better High Dynamic Range, pictures are sharper, more detailed and the colors are more true to life. It's not even a contest, but the Pocophone is still a winner if it's bang for your buck that you're looking for.
I also did a video which you can have a look at if you want, otherwise the above covers what's mentioned in the video.

Stock camera for stills on poco is not worth comparing either use gcam or don't compare it to a flagship at all.

Xiaomi released a nightmode in the beta updates but it's way worse than Google camera.
Poco and the pixel 3 have the same sensor on the back a imx 363, idk if the ois makes a difference tho here.
Apparently the Google night sight and the mate 20 pro are on par with each other during night shots.

How's the temps of the phone during gaming? I've heard that Kirin GPU aren't good for gaming. So the Temps after a gaming session would be good.

The honor View 20 is liquid cooled so temps overall don't get too high. It may get a bit warm after hours of gaming and I mean hours. It will never get really hot through my experience

Noice. It sounds like a good phone. Wortjy competitor for the 6T. If only the Software was good.......

In terms of power and design, it is much better than the 6t. Only downside like you said is the software. However for me it's not a big issue as it is extremely fast and easy to get used to.

Yeah I can agree that it's a great phone. And Honor following it's trend of innovation has definitely come up with something new and unique. The ToF sensor, 3D Gaming in a phone are all amazing features. The price is also similar to the 6T as well as the specs. You've got the SD845 vs the Kirin 980. V20 has the GPU Turbo 2.0 and other good stuff. OnePlus 6T has the in-display Fingerprint Scanner which is either a plus or a minus depending on you. You've got the IPS LCD on the V20 vs the Optic AMOLED on the 6T which is good for battery life but at the same time OLED Burn-in. Again, your choice. Which brings the only differenciating thing to be the UI or Software which is where Honor Fails. Miserably. Magic UI 2 is no match for OOS. OOS is better than stock Android and has Zero Bloatware. It's fast and smooth. Magic UI 2 on the other hand is just another name for EMUI 9 and that's bloated with Huawei Crap and While not slow or laggy isn't up to the mark. Add to that the fact that you can't unlock the Bootloader of the V20 whereas on the 6T it's just a simple command and you're good to go. I'm sure that majority of people don't care about that but for the enthusiasts the last thing i.e the unlockable bootloader is a must and will be the reason many of them get the 6T over the V20. Ignoring that the V20 is an excellent phone. Just reconsider the whole Bootloader thing.

I care about unlocked bootloader ?
After a lot of debloat the v20 has an awesome battery life and the system is as fast as it can be ?
Would love an aosp on this one but i'm more than satisfied for the moment ?

Unless you have a bootloader unlock code it's not possible to unlock your device.
Huawei has stopped providing them.
Now You can't even get it even by paying third party sites.

Question huawei p50 pro issues

Hello, I just bought Huawei P50 Pro and as soon as I got it, it had a system update. I did it and from then, it gets hot after a short time of using it, especially in camera. Also when I try to take a video, it records fine and when I go to watch it, it stucks or say "error playing the media", or the video finishes immediately. And another problem I think is with the battery. 5 hours maximum until it shuts down,and it's warm. It's like services are running at the background. I don't know what's happening. All these I think in system update 12.0.1.221. And also I think that something is going on with the zoom. When I zoom in, until 3.1 it's OK, but from 3.2x until 100x it's so blur. So bad. Is it a software problem? It's the second day I use the phone. I've just updated the software to the 12.0.1.223 version but unfortunately no results in the zoom section

I had p40 pro and the zoom was incredible. After the 4x or 5x zoom, it starts blurring, and it's not clean. Do you know, is it OK? I don't think that p40 pro has better, a lot better zoom than p50 pro

Man so many trouble there! I would do a completely factory reset and i'll check again and in case i would go for warranty

Hahaha yeap. The truth is that after update, it seems a little better.
The photos are 1x 3x and 10x
Maybe the photos are good. I don't know The video is incredible but I don't know about photos.

Photos are exceptional too except the ultrawide camera that for me is average. Video are awesome too especially the audio!!!

yeah,the video is amazing. The biggest problem i think is the battery.
From 100% to 4% only 4 hours and 45 minutes on screen.
i had the Iphone 12 Pro Max and the battery lasted 9 to ten hours on screen! It's a big difference.
I heard that the emui has many problems,with stability,perfomance etc...
I'm looking on installing the harmonyOS. I think it's possible.

You won't solve too much by insytalling or trying installing HOS. The "Problem" is hardware releted. Snapdragon 888 is the answer. If we could get a Kirin chipset we will get muuuuuch better battery life out of it, Americans decided that Huawei was becoming so much better with smartphones and they banned them. I'm getting same battery life as you but for me is ok, consider also that IPhone is much thickness than Huawei, and to be honest Huawei p50 pro is much better holding it in my hands than the square design of any iPhone 12 or more....

Are you using the snapdragon version or the Kirin version ?

I'm using the snapdragon version. But after the update it seems more stable. It has some bugs, like moon (it doesn't recognizes it) or the zoom photo (how clean is) but I think it Wil be fixed.

Wide on night mode is TRAGIC.

Battery is still -.-
