Hello i own a honor 8 and my only problem is my camera. my pictures are missing color. I mean pictures are pretty bold colors. My friend have the same honor 8 and his pictures are so nice. If there is any light or sun in background the picture is really noisy. i should mention that my back cover is cracked so are the lens. so i have thought that maybe my camera sensor is damaged or lens. i dont know. i dont have a waranty or anything, this phone was cracked and used when i bought it.

Just noticed that when things are in the top portion of the picture with the camera tilted down slightly things get distorted. It makes heads oblong and alien looking. Wondering if other people have this same issue or if it's just my phone. So it's really a question of whether the phone is being exchanged or returned.
I've attached two pics. When the tv is in the top portion of the pic it looks a lot taller than when it's in the center of the pic. Both pics were taken from the same distance at the same zoom amount.
Did you take the plastic film off the lens that comes from the factory?

I was gonna say the same! Although mine lately has not been focusing at all unless i shake it. View is immediately blurry, but up close to something it is fine. Like it is stuck in close up. Shake it and seems good. This is before ROOT and playing around. Any ideas?

Did you have a plastic film on your camera? I had one over the fingerprint sensor but if there is one on my camera it's near impossible to detect, I feel like I'm just scratching at the glass although my fingernail is definitely catching on something. I just cant tell if it's the edge of the glass for the camera or a film covering it.
i had the same issue so i boiled my kettle, and held the phone above it after it boiled and let the steam peel the lense sticker.

If you had the plastic on it, you'd know it. It was very noticeable on mine.

I really can't tell if it's there, if it is it lines up almost perfectly. It isn't causing me issues for now though so I'm not going to mess with it.

You would notice in the center of the lens. The plastic would have a cut. Once it's off, the lens is perfectly flat across the top.
The plastic was still on, but no change in distortion taking it off. I'm guessing the cutout in the center of the plastic makes it so it doesn't impact photos.
So I tested on my computer monitor and am able to somewhat replicate what is happening in your shots. However, this distortion is natural because you're tilting the camera downwards on its axis. Its called perspective lens distortion and is common to all cameras without a tilt shift lens (a lens that costs several thousand dollars). You should be able to replicate the effect with any camera phone.
Yeah I've noticed distortion in other cameras but it's just not so extreme. On the s6 the distortion makes any pics with the subject on the edge ridiculous and unusable.
I think I've narrowed it down to when the s6 is set up to shoot max resolution at 16:9. When I switch it to 4:3 the distortion is pretty much gone since that distorted area is just cropped out but that reduces it from 16mp to 12mp. Other phone cameras I've had (moto x 2nd gen and s3) crop the other way (max resolution at 4:3 and then crop to get 16:9).
So the s6 presumably has a 16:9 sensor where the others had 4:3. But the extra width is pretty much unusable.
I'm not sure how I feel about this. What's the point of having a 16mp camera if you can only effectively use 12mp?
Any update on this? I was hoping there's a post processing software in Android/Windows/OSX that can compensate for the lens distortion even though it'll reduced the resolution a bit. I have a AT&T Galaxy S6.
I tried DXO Optics Pro 8, and it works very good for shots from my Nikon D7000 to un-alienize the faces, but there are no modules for the Galaxy S6 lens.
So, I got The camera lens on my s6 fixed at a local repair. I made That decison because every charged me like 250 euro(286 dollars) for repair. So, I got it fixed for 50 euro(Huge drop in price, I know). After I got it fixed, my photos turned out to be Blurry. When I broke The camera lens I also noticed That The camera had also got scratched, but I still could got some decent shots, without The cameralens.
I also noticed That The new camera lens got a hq logo in left upper corner. I inmediately thought...this is not an original Samsung part. But my question is: does The scratched camera create Blurry pictures or is because The cameralens isnt a original Samsung part?
I also have some example pictures shot with The new cameralens. I also shot some.with my girlfriends s6.

What is the difference between the scratched "cameralens" and "camera"?
You mean the actual lens is scratched and also the big rounded square protective glass?
Well, in case a not quality replacement part was used, it can have an effect on the overall picture quality.

can you make a macro pic with flash? and pics on street to see more pics please?¿ clean your lens too
sorry for my poor english ( i am spanish ):good:
Sometimes in low indoor lighting I noticed some dark blobs that appear on the camera. They look like rather large particles scattered throughout the frame. I was suspecting maybe dust in the lens but I've seen a similar thing with my friend's Nexus 4 when is directly cast in sunlight - similar to when you look under a microscope and your hair eyelashes are in the way. Another thing I suspect it could be is some interference from the shiny black plastic ring within the camera lens (not the silver ring outside), as it appears to be made of a rough plastic-like material.
Sample (there are many more depending what angle the light is shining): https://www.dropbox.com/s/zm8h9jp3jhdy726/DSC_0476.JPG?dl=0
Has anyone experienced this as well?
Note that the lens/camera module that was replaced by Sony in Taiwan due to the left blur problem. They assured me that the phone was still waterproof. Unfortunately I am no longer in Taiwan so I can't get it repaired. In most situations the blobs are not visible but I do notice them when I'm filming in my room and the camera appears to be trying to pick up more light.
hmm, now that i look at my lens, i it appears there is a spot on the actual camera lens behind the main lens cover. Either dust got in during the lens replacement process, or it somehow got in later. So much for IP68 =/
Can you send it back and get a new device?

Nope, I bought it in Taiwan, and am studying overseas now. Perhaps next time I go to Taiwan I will turn it in. It's not a huge problem as none of my outdoor photos seem to have this problem - I only noticed it in videos I filmed in my room indoors with a certain lighting or flare (if you cover the light a bit it's gone, like you have a lens hood). It's not as obvious as previous reports of dust in the Xperia Z lens etc.
I looked into it with a magnifying glass and it does seem like there is at least one speck behind the lens cover.
Maybe there was some dust or paper in my pocket that somehow got in, but I had the phone in a case, and there's a rear protector film I applied that goes around the lens
Hi guys, i've had s6 for the past 7 months and only recently i have noticed small specks of dust under the camera lens. Two of them are on the blue lens surface itself! They are very minute and will be visible under direct sunlight or bright light. Have seen this is another phone as well. I'm yet to find out whether this affects the images but just wanted to know whether this is prevalent. Did any of you have noticed it? does it affect your images?
Out of curiosity, I've been using a flashlight to look into my Huawei's P20 camera just to find out if the camera has OIS ( see this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/huawei-p20/help/main-camera-ois-optical-image-t3794794 )
However, I can see some dust scattered around, and a smudge ( like putting your finger on a lens kind of smudge ) in the middle of the lens. This is unacceptable, given the price tag and the "flagship" status of the phone.
The phone is one month, one month and a half old. I'll contact Huawei and ask for a replacement, since it's kind of rubbish to have an almost new phone opened up and repaired.
You can see the issue in the pictures below:

I'll try to use a magnifier glass when I get back home.
Same/Similar problem
Hey there.
I have same Huawei P20 less than half years old and the rear bottom camera (under the actual glass/lens) dirty, similar like yours on the pictures but different is mine looks like when you have your phone in your pocket for while and get some dirt so not just dots. Can't imagine how is this possible. I cleaning my phone quiet often and the camera got dirty like this. The phone never been dropped or something like that and always kept in chase... I bought mine from carphonewarehouse so I went back and they said they can take it apart and clean it then put it back together under warranty but nothing really else but I don't want a opened up phone...
Did you contact with Huawei? What they said if yes? Or any news/ update since your post?
Thanks.
Same situation here with my P20. Dust started showing at the first 2 weeks of use. Now, after 2 months it's pretty bad. Also there are scratches on my camera glass. I can't believe that they didn't use sapphire glass for the cameras.

does this actually create issues in photos taken?
Only with the sun was in front of the camera.
Fixed the issue by buying a P20 PRO
It don't solve the problem...

It don't solve the problem... I have a P20 pro for a month already, I got at first the same issue like you but on the front camera, and second, it happened today, a huge black mark on pictures appeared, after check it, it come from the middle rear camera. No water, not dust on this one, but the lens is broken inside...! 600 $ for nothing!
