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

.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.

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.

I'm just wondering, is it really good as some people say or is it just average? I didn't get a tracking number yet so I don't think I'll be able to test it myself for a while. Some shots you've taken recently would suffice, just to see the strengths of the camera.
The quality of the actual pictures are fine, but the real deal breaker is how slow it is. Even after achieving focus, there's always this 1-2 second delay after you hit the shutter button. It's terrible. It doesn't matter if the camera took the highest quality shots in RAW if it's too slow to capture anything you could consider a "moment."

On mine, an HDR+ shot acquires focus and snaps the picture in about 1 second. Regular shots take maybe half a second or less.

That's not bad, but not insanely fast. If pictures took only a second I wouldn't mind but if it is as bad as he says, then I might have to download Focal and see how that works.

I would agree with this experience. The camera app itself loads fairy quickly too: 4 seconds from touching the camera icon to having the photo snapped and saved to storage.

It's probably not compatible with Kit Kat yet. Are there reviewers having the same issues?
I actually think the camera is pretty good. About the same as a iPhone 5s. Definitely not great though. However, the app sucks. Right now I'm using Camera MX and it's better than the stock app. Mine is pretty fast BTW. Not a long time between shots.

Nah, not that I can tell. But there are plenty of free camera apps that will probably perform better than the stock.
I think the camera is very good considering the overall top of the line phone specs vs price.
The OIS works amazing, try it, you can really shake the phone around and the image stays perfectly still - really what a small low mass smartphone needs! As even just tapping the screen to take a photo causes blurred photos.
I also like how it uses the flash to help you pre-focus, something my Desire Z never did, even with JB.
HDR+ is also pretty amazing, I can't fault it yet in my limited use, the photos come out much more vibrant, very impressive for the phone's small size!
Now what is bad is the shutter lag, between taking photos and when pressing the shutter, even if pre-focused... Come on Google, please fix that in your next update .
Other phones take photos a lot faster.
god camera is amazing well down google
i am in love with this phone its surpassed all the non ois equipped device like iphone5s, s4, even not 3 in low light

Better than the wifes iPhone5 is my rating. It's better is daylight, better is low light, better at HDR, and the photosphere is a game changer.

Macro is very good
This shot was just testing out closer photos - I think I could go even closer. HDR+ was off so these are just standard quick shots.
I have attached a photo which I guess will be higher res, and also put it on imgur for the guests viewing.
You can see tiny bits of specs of dust and paint on the rotor blade (rc model heli), very good quality. The blade is covered in oil btw...

The bokeh is not bad either!
Oh, and reviewing photos on the HD display is beautiful, you can easily see if they are sharp and the colours / clarity is spot on even in daylight.

top one is hdr +
and one thing why ppl complaining about slow focus mine is almost instant focus and camera shots.
Compared to the Galaxy Nexus camera, I think the camera of the Nexus 5 is an improvement. It performs way better under suboptimal lighting conditions, and it supports HDR which snaps really nice pics with good colors.

This is beyond expectation. Do you have an example of a pure bokeh, pure isn't what I mean, but like, a shot and then the background is completely bokeh.
here is my first quick test i ve did with my lg v10, using cinema size in manual mode, and test the manual focul.
simply amazing quality, this is what i ve been looking for to have in a smartphone since years!

Now that looks like a delicious ice-cream
Thanks for the upload mate, indeed nice OIS and focus performance.
But what I'm wondering is the other options mainly shutter speed; I'm not really deep into photography but using a Lumia for over 2 years I know how useful manual controls are for photos. But I just don't understand how you can change shutter speed in a video; isn't that a function which may only have a meaning while taking photos? Isn't the "shutter" open all the time while recording a video thus changing shutter speed while recording actually means nothing?
Thanks in advance if one can enlighten me. For instance can you make a test video while changing shutter speed on the fly?
Mmmm Ice-cream! Can you change the framerate to PAL (25 / 50fps)?

shutter speed, is the process that allow the light to go in the captor to every frame you record.
usually this process is automatic, now you can change the spdeed, meaning, if it s too dark you can add more light than auto mode would allow, and get better picture
4K Time Limit?

I don't believe their may be one, if anything you would be more concerned about running out of memory space for the video than anything. These 1minute videos range from 600mb-1gig per file from a few shots I made.

Actually let me update you on that I don't want you to go off with wrong information here, but now that I notice It did say "5:00" minutes when I started recording in 4k , note, I don't know if it's because my memory card is only 32gb (aka memory max like I said) or if it's because that's really the max time you're allowed, Just a heads up! Also a 3minute video is 1GB so note worthy as well, not sure where I got other info I must have clicked the wrong videos

I thought it might be. I'll maybe try a few different camera apps if I decide to go with the phone. I think my Note 3 is 5 min. with the default camera, but I get up to 17 minutes with other apps.
When taking a photo in a street during the night with iso 50 and shutter speed of 1 second, car headlights produce light trails.
But when recording a timelapse (using 1 fps manual video and same iso and shutter speed as before) the resulting video does not have light trails.
Why is that? Does the shutter speed setting has different meaning for photo and video?
Hi gang,
Took the beast out for some shooting today.
What I love:
The camera software. All the settings, pro-mode, effects and stuff are really nice.
Camera is very fast. Very unlike some reviews claiming this is the slowest camera out there.
What I don't like:
Pic sharpness. Most pics come out with some water paint effect. Backgrounds, distance shots all come out washed. Macro shots are sort of OK but zooming in, washed out to some extend.
So I played around with various settings, differed sizes, all the same free post-processing effects.
I compared with similar shots I look last week with the old LG G4. Well, they are 200% better. Lets hope this is a processing issue that will be fixed with the next update.
What are your experiences?

Don`t forget we are running pre-release software, an update to smooth things up will come soon. Besides that i don`t recognise your issues on my device so far.
I am on B110. Is this a pre-release software?
I have a major complain regarding camera in video. I think is related to the stabilization. Almost all my video in FHD looks like waves. The image is very shaky. This is my second device as the first one was replaced. Anyone else observed this?
I really hope can be solved in an update.

Just tested it to see if it happens here too. Indeed when filming the image stutters on the screen (well, it's night here so not ideal conditions) but when playing it it looks nice, no shakes at all. That was at 1080p, 60fps. At 1080p, 30fps it looks smooth on screen and also when playing it.
Anyone noticed that the hdr mode is always on in bright light?
You will get the same picture with or without hdr, and that's something not good at all.
Is there a setting that turn hdr off other than using pro mode?

So, i have had mate 9 for 2 weeks now, not impressed, when i compare it to the galaxy s7 edge, it cannot compete, the galaxy s7 edge wins hands down...., also, the galaxy s8 looks to be worth waiting for, march/april release will see a great phone after their note phones needed washing out with water,lol.
Also, i wanted to ask you, i have the MHA-L00 china version and my Hi voice app only works in chinese, as does the music app, can you post and tell me if your international MHA-L29 has hi voice ((assistant app) and music app in english, if it does..., could i ask that you post the apk install files for these apps in english. As far as i am aware, Hi voice app is embedded into the system so may not be possible.
If possible, i wanted instructions to flash the international rom onto the chinese phone?

Well, I couldn't agree more still having an old good lg g3 by the hand for comparisons makes me angry and sad about mate9's picture quality... seriously thinking about selling the-brand-new-two-months-old phone and returning to LG RAW mode looks like the only hope, combined with snapseed it gives somehow sharper and nicer images.... my guess is that default JPG postprocessing seriously sucks hopefully huawei will fix it in some future updates...

Well, the first pic is from the G3, full picture quality, automode, no tweaking

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.

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).

Thanks both for the answers, i wanted to know if it's something wrong with my phone or it's normal for all Honor 8. I'm not going to return it, it looks great and works very well.

You can try 3rd party camera or try to take a picture with more natural sunlight. As in the real life usage thread the picture are good

But our topic is about Camera bro . Everyone is a super hero in predictions and even choosing a better phone with good specs . but we can't define camera theoretical specs with reality . Even a 16mp camera can't beat iPhone 8mp camera ..

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.
Good evening folks.
My Note 4 perished by cat and I've settled on a Mate 9 as my replacement phone. I have a couple of questions to those who own it before purchase though.
1.) How easy does the camera glass scratch? That was quite the issue for my Note 4. Will I require a full case to avoid image quality degradation by scratches?
2.) Are the new phone cases (not refurbished) sealed in any fashion from the factory. There are no official outlets here and I'm worried about buying a refurbished dud.
3.) Does the white version really feel like it's made out of Ceramic?
4.) I'd love to see some .dng low light / night and landscape sample images I could do some Photoshop magic on. I'm a photographer at heart and can't quite find anything but .jpegs out there.
Your help would be much appreciated! ^v^

Google JerryRigEverything on youtube for his mate 9 video he does a durability video on this.

Thank you very much for your reply! It seems that the raw files can't be opened in my favorite DXO Optics Played around with some Photosop. It seems quite formidable to preserve details, but I see some noise in the recovered shadows / flat dark areas. The white balance errs a bit on the cool side of things. And you have a very comfy looking sofa, that made me feel sleepy :>I guess I'll just have to get used to it. My main interests are weather photography, as well as landscapes. I am sure I can make it work for my purposes.
Does a lens correction profile exist for this camera at all?

What do you mean by lens correction profile?
Do you need a preset correcting vignette and distortion?or you mean raw editor in Photoshop is limited?

I do mean correction of lens geometry and I guess vignetting as well yes. Does such a thing even exist for this model? In all other aspects it seems to be mostly like a professional camera. I also mean that Photoshop does not have the correction information for the shot, like say Nexus 6P has (at least judging by the list of supported cameras in PS).

In Photoshop there is lens correction in filters menu.
Yes exif data is not available,maybe need an updated camera raw software.
In my opinion the camera is very good and using the manual mode you can easily take great photos.

I also noticed that the JPEG processing algorithm does wonders to reduce the noise! Alas I'm very obsessed over shooting everything in .dng / RAW!
There is lens correction, but I can't find support for this phone / lens combination. Without such a profile the correction is useless. EXIF data is all there, as far as I can see with IrfanView and it all looks legit. Phone model, exposure time, F-Stop, etc. Why would you say EXIF isn't available? Can't you see it?
I couldn't see it in Photoshop but with acdsee pro it's there.
I was comparing the raw files from my p9 and it seems they are better than mate 9.
Not sure why but i will do more test tomorrow.

Could you set up a tripod then inside and take two same low light images on Mate 9 and P9 with the same settings and share with us please? Would be really nice!

Yeah, soon 0200 in the night and I'ms till awake. All those thoughts swarming in my head. Another thing I'd love to see is dark noise comparison. So ISO 100, 30-second exposures with the lenses closed with both P9 and Mate 9. That's quite an important figure in photography. What do the sensors show, when there's nothing to show.

Yes i see more blue noise in mate 9 than p9 in dark or closed lens.

Well, that is interesting. I thought that the camera sensors should be identical in them both? Could anyone else confirm that the image quality is worse on the Mate, then it is on the P9?

P9 has 2 12MP sensors,mate 9 has 1 12MP and 1 20MP,there is no info which sensors they use.
I will do the test when i get home.

Try doing the test with 1.1x zoom as well. I heard the image quality improves quite a bit. Seems that the JPEG is made from both sensors and the .dng from only one?

I did a quick enhance on those dark images in Photoshop and it seems indeed that the two phones run completely different imaging hardware. The P9 had a bit of amp glow on the top and bottom of the image, while the Mate 9 had a darker circle in the middle and overall much less noise. Very interesting, also none of those two files had EXIF in them this time. Not sure what to think about it all. Am I just doing silly things?
Another question I have before purchase is would it be possible to tell of a re-branded version, if I aim to get the EU 64GB one? May I get a re-flashed Chinese one instead? Is there a surefire way to tell of a genuine L29 was it?
