Hello guys, yesterday i got my Honor 8 and tonight i made some video recordings, the thing is that when i zoom (even only a little bit) the camera quality is very bad. Even my mother's Note 3 has a better quality, i had both phones and i tried to record the same thing at the same time. So is that normal ? P.S. I have no ideea how to use PRO Mode, i was on Auto. Thanks.

It was in a very big room,there was good light and after they turn off some lights and was bad light too. For me was a dissapoinment in both case... I think even my P8 Lite is doing better... I will try today to take some photos and videos to show.

Ok, so here we are. I want to mention that yesterday when i recorded i was running B131 (FRD-L09) and now i'm on B320. But nothing changed.

Tbh all huawei can't take good zoom photos, but it is a lot better with less noise than older huawei phones. Sure u can return the phone if not satisfied?
The Honor 8 is the wrong phone to use if you want to make video recordings. It only does 1080p and doesn't have OIS, so hand shakes are magnified the more you zoom in (and it's digital zoom, not optical zoom either).

Cmon guys, stop complaining about camera. This is a phone, not a digital camera! Photos made by H8 are decent. In low light conditions, go with Pro photo mode and play with options, there is plenty of choices... As I said, quality of photos are not the best - in range of Samsung Galaxy S7 or Google Pixel, but decent!
Anyway, use flash always (not auto, but on), in all conditions!
From the video comparison I seen on YouTube, Honor 8 video recording actually look better than both Pixel and iPhone 7 @ 1080p, unfortunately it lacks OIS so is shaky. There is just no point to zoom on a smartphone unless you have optical zoom like the iPhone 7 Plus, or at least have 4K recording, and OIS is going to be a must.
I think you should get the iPhone 7 Plus if you want to zoom. Or perhaps an Android phone that has larger micron per pixel (1.25um or more) and OIS.

Hi,
I want to buy a mate 8 but the photo take me away for now because of the reviews i can read on popular sites.
So, there is an important improvment for camera since the begining ?
What about slow focus ?
And compared to the g3, It has a better camera ?
Thanks in advance !
G3 imho is better, yes.

You must know that native camera app is not fixed yet - look, same sensors - different photos. Thats why is some "rainy effect" smaller contrast&brightness and so on https://youtu.be/9AzlF5635ik?t=802
About autofocus - best shortest but informative video here https://youtu.be/AWUhgpT-Mb0

The camera is fine for outdoors but struggles to get any good shots indoors especially with low or dim lighting. It can take some pretty bad photos indoors. It's the one thing I don't like about the phone, everything else is good.
I just switch to HDR mode and take normal photo. I see a real big difference between this modes. And try to take photos in low light with other modes later. I can post both comparing photos. Even a native app is not good for begin.

I just own LG v20 dual sim and im waiting probably tomorrow Mate 9...so be patient to answer you...
Same, I've got the h918, mate 9 gets here tomorrow. Will report back.
Expecting to be happier with the Mate 9. The v20 is not bad, just doesnt click with me.
I have a mate 8 and my wife has a mate 9. I prefer mate 9.
I used both.. And moved from LGv20 to Mate9.. Mate9 in my opinion is by faaar better.. But depends on what you want from the phone, i do miss the second screen in LG, but over all, Mate 9 for me is the best in the market right now..

Mmmmm lets start with mate9 being more solid as a phone.. Then amaaaazing battery.. Never used a phone with such a battery (and i used many many many phones).. And its optimization when it comes to battery usage.. Screen is almost the same.. But u know its bigger in mate9.. Add to that all, v20 has a very very bad faulty, its camera glass, a tiny small hit towards the glass covering it, and its gone (happened to someone i know who has his phone armed with a big case).. Read about it online, maaanyy are complaining..
Over all, i can fairly say its the mate9 by far.. As a user..
Again, this is my personal experience, some features in v20 u might prefer over all what i mentioned (like changeable battery, or 2 sims+sd), hence the variety in the market..

I don't actually use the audio recording that much, so i can't be fair in judging the difference.. But the loudspeaker, i would say its good enough for me, but v20 is louder if am remembering well..

I have both as well, but the DAC in the V20 is unbeatable.
I decided to buy V20.
After spending so much time researching, I think V20 is a better option, overall.
It has a better DAC, is more root friendly, and has wide angle camera.
The aperture control on Mate 9 is fine, but the results seem too artificial for me. Optical bokeh is much better. I think its a good idea, but the implemention is not perfect still. About the other predefined stuff in Mate 9, almost everything can be fone through the manual controls of the V20, but the user must know how to and be iniciated on photography.
After giving up Note 7, I boughti LG V20 and didn't like it, especially the battery life, it was giving me just 6-8 hours. I bought Mate 9 and I'm now very happy, the only thing I miss is the wide angle camera from LG v20, but that was the only thing. Bettery life is now 15-20 hours a day
Sent from my MHA-L29 using Tapatalk
While I've yet to use either, but the wide angle camera of the V20 isn't that appealing to me. The monochrome sensor seems to give you better options and has the potential to take much better photos than the V20 ever could. I feel like the only thing the V20 has going for it is the DAC and that it's more developer friendly. Other than that, it seems to me that the Mate 9 is the better device in every way.
Oops I was going to comment but since you've already got the V20 congrats and enjoy

Ive made that choice just because for me loudspeaker, headphone output, audio & video recording, and screen is "everything" on a smartphone.
So I thought V20 would make more sense.
For curiosity, do you usually take photos on manual or auto/preset?

Loudspeakers are very close. The v20 is slightly louder.
Audio and video recording do go to the v20 as that is what that phone is built for, the mate is still good at it.
Lg software i just do not like anymore, and photo quality is honesty lacking on it. Far too much noise in anything other than good light (seems like a step down from my g5). The mate 9 is also cheaper with much better battery life. V20 has higher resolution but LG panels have tons of backlight bleed, compared to Huawei damn near uniform panels.
Photos were both in auto and manual, it just seems like the mate has a more capable sensor than the 298 is in the v20
Both good phones. Won't really go wrong with either!

This is not true, I have used both and I can say that the loudspeaker of V20 is less than Note 7. Mate 9 speaker is same or better than V20, but definitely not less. As for the screen, I had big time trouble adjusting the auto brightness of V20. It would be either too much or too less. I was always adjusting it. I didn't have this problem with Note 7 or my current Mate 9. Mate 9 is really under marketed, maybe that's why they are building the best phones to earn some name.

Nobody really has answered the question for you properly. The Nexus 6P has a good camera on it with large pixels. The Mate 9 does not have pixels as large, nor does it have as fast a f stop.
So to answer your question, what do you use the camera for most? e.g. taking pics of kids or pets, indoor shots, or do you shoot a lot of video. etc
To answer the question without this knowledge, all I would say is the Mate 9 camera app allows for extreme creativity over its competition. The S7 has the fastest focus system so action shot or fast moving video is a breeze for it. The large pixels on the 6P are a blessing. The 6P is not the quickest at taking a shot.
Check out the dxo mark test. It's better according to the score. https://www.dxomark.com/Mobiles/Mate-9-camera-review-A-big-step-up-for-Huawei the mate 9 scores 85 and the nexus 6p 84.

Dxomark is useless. It's increasingly clear that it's not so independent and neutral. Also, they don't really seem to want to test a camera to find its best potential nor do they provide the original samples. It's a bit sketchy and their final scores seem arbitrary.

I have to say that those pictures look extremely artificial. Its like the software did the bokeh effect.
I currently have Nexus 6P and I have Mate 9 Pro waiting in the post office, but I am really hesitant to change. One obvious reason is the software but other reason is that Nexus 6P has probably the most underrated camera ever. I did have Samsung Galaxy S7 before, and while the camera is good its not as good as 6P has. I also have Oneplus3T now and while I love almost everything about this phone, on the camera department 6P just wipes the floor with it.
Especially in low light you can get really good detail. Samsung also yes, but I didn't like how with S7 every scenario got more bright. I felt that I lost the atmosphere in the shot.
Like the first picture I post here, it was really dark there, but I think I captured both the details and the atmosphere.
Summa Summarum, Nexus 6P is over a year old phone, but Google did some magic and it is still really tough to beat. Not sure how Pixel can do against it, maybe better. But all the other phones I have tried there is no competition.
It still could be that my curiosity wins and I go pick up my Mate 9 Pro..if I don't like it..I have 850 euros worth phone laying useless..
Great shots from the last 2 posts.
I just want to add, pixel peeping is not the goal. Taking a memorable photo is

All are playing with the aperture effect, which can be dialed up or back or off even after the fact. I think it is great in the first two, the second two with it off are below though I think it makes for an interesting picture with it on. Using it this Christmas I will say it is best with non human subjects, stationary things. When used with people you can sometimes get a bit of the uncanny valley thing going on. But that said, I think the first two of the original pics I posted are great uses, the second two interesting applications.

You have to remember that the Mate 9 has something else going for it here... a monochrome sensor which does not lose light capture due to an RGB color filter like other camera sensors. From what I am seeing, this seems to be more than making up for the fact that the aperture is f/2.2 and possibly having small pixels. Also, has there been any determination of the pixel size for the Mate 9's camera sensors... either the color RGB or BW sensors? I can't find any details on the actual sensor models themselves, nor the sensor sizes, nor the sensors' pixel sizes - any of these should give us an idea of how capable the camera sensor is. Also, remember that the lenses themselves are high quality Leica Summarit lenses, which does make a difference.
It seems like Huawei has done something really unique here by using the monochrome sensor to augment light and detail capture, plus having arguably the best digital zoom capabilities of any smartphone to date. My phone gets delivered on Wednesday, and if I have time/desire to do so, I will compare the camera as best as I can against my LG V20 and Pixel XL, using manual controls, zoom, etc.

The 6P is neck and neck against the Pixel phones in terms of photo quality when both devices have HDR+ On. The Pixels are much better though, for 3 reasons... first, they have HDR+ Auto which works in an entirely new way, giving an HDR+ "Lite" mode essentially that allows for instantaneous HDR capture with zero lag/delay. HDR+ Auto cannot give as much dynamic range as HDR+ On (which does have a lag/delay still), but it produces great results and identical results to HDR+ On in most situations... only some situations require HDR+ On for the best quality. Second, they have phase detection autofocus and a host of other sensor enhancements, which make speed/ease of capture MUCH better. The autofocus is almost as fast as the S7 now. Lastly, the HDR+ processing is much faster and doesn't get bogged down easily like the 6P does when taking numerous shots.
The 6P is still a great camera... just as good as the Pixels really, if you have time to get the shot and don't mind the lag from HDR+ On. But the Pixels are still easier to shoot with, and have MUCH better video if you need it.
I also want to mention, that I actually can get much better detail from my LG V20 than my Pixel XL when I try... specifically when using manual mode. Some of this is due to the higher megapixel count, but some of it is also due to having total control over the camera. I don't really trust manual camera apps to work well on the Pixels as they were not optimized for that usage like LG's phones. With that said, the Pixel/6P will have MUCH better dynamic range and consistency in photos over LG... but if you truly want the most detailed shot, and fine-tuned exactly how you want it, LG is the way to go... and maybe Huawei now too. LG's camera app is much better, but Huawei seems to have done a pretty good job in terms of manual control... will have to check out the results when I get my phone Wednesday.

I would suggest uploading pictures to Flickr or Google Photos. XDA compresses them to crap if you attach them here, and the quality looks like garbage.
anyone experiencing stuttering while video recording? Found this to be quite bad!! but video playback is actually ok . Just while recording, the video is insanely laggy..! thought it was the save to sd card thing but no difference when there was no SD card inside. HELP!

Nobody really has answered the question for you properly. The Nexus 6P has a good camera on it with large pixels. The Mate 9 does not have pixels as large, nor does it have as fast a f stop.
So to answer your question, what do you use the camera for most? e.g. taking pics of kids or pets, indoor shots, or do you shoot a lot of video. etc
To answer the question without this knowledge, all I would say is the Mate 9 camera app allows for extreme creativity over its competition. The S7 has the fastest focus system so action shot or fast moving video is a breeze for it. The large pixels on the 6P are a blessing. The 6P is not the quickest at taking a shot.

The mate 9 also has dual cameras that make up for it's short comings in f stop and smaller pixels. And it has OIS which the 6p is terrible with on video.
All i know is the 6P, for me, was so slow to capture it drove me crazy. Mate 9 isn't quite as fast as my S7 but it is close and adding in the dual camera and zoom options I am finding it a far better experience than my 6P and even better than the S7.

Anyone here who have both Nexus 6P and Mate 9? I would really appreciate if someone could take a few pictures with them for comparsion
The camera of the Nexus 6p is much better
Nexus 6p and now have mate 9.

Could you post a few compare pictures from those two cellphones?
Nexus 6P camera better than Mate 9?
Hahahaha
Say "cheese", then rate this thread to express how photos taken with the OnePlus 5 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!
OnePlus did themselves a disservice, by hyping this camera as much as they did. It's a fine camera, more or less (for this price point).
Does a fine job to me..
They just need better post-processing algorithms.
no problems at all over 200 photos taken since owning and Im very happy with the quality of the photos.... remember its a phone with a camera most pics will be shared to social media and forgotten about.
Not better than the oneplus 3. Take a look of my post here

Maybe if your thirteen years old yes. I would say... remember it's a phone with a camera that will replace point and shoot camera's and even a DSLR when going on a trip with family. Pictures won't be forgotten and should at least be on par with galaxy and pixel of last year.

Nice chemtrail!
I mean, nice shot!
I took this photo while I was in a car which was running.
I mean the car didn't even stop. I love the camera of this phone.
Hi, Oneplus 5 owners
There are some reviews where they talk about poor and dificult focus when you use the zoom.
Is that real?

The camera is the worst part of this phone.......
Yesterday I received the GPU Turbo Update on my Huawei P20 Pro, and I thought I may share my experience that I had with it so far and also make a list of things that changed with that update.
So far, I gotta say, GPU Turbo is amazing.
I tried it with the following games so far:
PUBG
Shadowgun Legends
Mobile Legends
War Robots
B. O. T.
All games run smoother than before, especially PUBG and Mobile Legends. Also, the device doesn't seem to get as hot as before when having longer gaming sessions, that was especially noticeable in War Robots.
Other things that have changed:
+ when filming in 960 fps: you can now choose between auto (start recording once the camera notices movement) and manual.
+ the font of the AOD (always on display) has been changed
If I notice more changes I'll make sure to post them here.

Thank you very much for your feedback.
And you feel any difference in ui smoothness?

Maybe a slight difference, hard to tell.
i wish you were able to choose when to slow down and sound pitch as iphone has.. that's cool. but 960fps on its own is cool 2

I don't even think these are true 960 fps.
I think the hardware is able to capture 120 fps max.
Almost sure the rest of the images gets computed by the NPU.
I still find it cool that Huawei was able to add such an amazing feature with a simple Software-Update.

Yes you are right, 480 and 960 is interpolated. Looks bad if you ask me, but most probably you don't
I am on C432 and I still haven't gotten any update. I feel all alone in this right now. Lol
Nah, don't. I haven't got it, my husband hasn't, it always takes a while to reach everybody

Thanks for this sanity-restoring comment you made. I was almost thinking that I didn't get it because I live in Africa (Nigeria precisely). ☺
god that is horrible, the 960 samples... damn you huawei.

.128 update perfect for camera shot with 40mp than .131 update. I was updated wrongly 1 month ago and I am not happy with 131 update. Camera oversharpness very bad and not performed new camera functions. How about gpu update? Rear camera fixed? I am not asking front camera because fixed and more beautiful than 131 update.

I don't have alot of problems with it.
Sometimes the camera tends to oversharp when it is dark, and / or you take pictures with 10 MP, but this has been a rare case for me so far with the latest update.

Thank you. Is this photo taken with 40mp? Very cool. I think it fixed. Please can you take a wide area photo (include tree and not focus front objects) with 40mp?

This photo was taken with 7 MP.
I dont have taken any photos like you described it so far, and it's dark outside right now.
Tho, I will still add a picture that has been shot with 40 MP.
I dont find any of the pictures I took with 40 MP to be over-sharpened btw.

OH my God. Really? 7mp?! Verrrry good. I think it is OK with new update :good:
The 960fps auto mode was present in 132 firmware as well.
Not sure if it is just my imagination, but I think that since the update the scrolling speed has been significantly reduced, ie if I check my Instagram feed and try to scroll quickly downwards it goes with less than half the speed with 152 update.. You just can't scroll fast enough anymore, maybe its an Instagram update? Dunno.
