[Q] Front cam is very noisy and purple

So I searched the forums and looked up few threads and saw a couple people complaning about noisy cams and pink spots. But didn't see anyone with a purple front cam problem and couldn't find examples. My problem is with my front cam it is normally a little bit grainy and not so good but I am not complaining. But when I cover the lens with my finger it is bad, really bad. I mean look at it, is this supposed to be black ? Now I am thinking it is not a software problem because my back cam does not have this. So I think this is a hardware thingy. My question is, is this how the front cam works or is it a defect ? Can you guys please post some front cam photos with lens covered?

I have the same problem and idk how to fix that problem, i tried manual and superior mode and same problem :/

Do you also have it only in your front cam or do you have the problem in both back and front cams ? Can you post a pic from your front cam while your lens is covered ? Because I am starting to think that this is the way front cam supposed works. If we can see pics from some other Z3's, we can conculede.

glare spoiling image quality in front cam

has anyone facing this or its normal becoz whenever i take sefies when light directly falls on front cam the image quality is bad(as if you are using a bad camera or budget grade camera)

I think so honor 8 camera dual tech is fake

I've been honor 8 since one week and i have found one thing that when even i cover right side lens it capture black image but when ever i cover left side sensor it's take snappy sharp image like it's ideally take . So i think so it's just fake second camera is dummy or any other problem ? please let me know i'm worried for my money

Are the pictures good? If so then don't worry about it.

From my experience the second camera is mostly used for background blur effect. If you cover the lens, everything is in focus.
It is also used for minor noise reduction. If you take a picture in low light and cover the secondary lens there is a little bit more noise. But you won't really notice it unless you enlarge the image.

well the fact that when you block one lens, the other works is proof that neither is dummy. perhaps the post processing is not that dramatic as you were expecting. try taking low light pics with both and just the normal lens then compare them by zooming.

no difference found
I've tried in low light too but second lens is just a fake . it's don't enhances quality i think so i have to wait for android N update

I love the pictures the Honor 8 takes when using the Wide Aperture mode. It seems the second camera is essential for creating the blur effect. If you haven't noticed you can go into the Stock Huawei Gallery and adjust the wide aperture pictures after the fact. Even if you took a picture that looked like you focused in on the wrong thing, just go into the Gallery, click on the wide aperture button (only shows up on wide aperture pictures) and select what you wanted to focus on.

Sure enough, without the second camera the wide aperture mode doesn't work properly if at all.

Second lens is for focusing, depth of field, and additional light. As well, when covering the second lens, it persistently gives a warning about not covering the lens while shooting, especially when refocusing. I think this should be enough to disprove your "fake camera" theory.

Getting DOT while taking photos during night time

That I am facing the issue of a blue dot appearing in both rear and front camera of POCO X2when shooting against the light in low-light. For example shooting a bulb etc. It is pops up even in daylight when the photo is taken against sunlight, but in day it yellow. Is it a defect? Tell me at the earliest so that I raise a replacement request. Official statement would be much welcomed.

Nothing to worry its just lens glare, it can be observed in every camara just that in poco x2 its more noticeable

Question Are the back cameras a sham?

Hey,
I was really wondering if the back cameras are actually helping the picture quality at all.
I have tried using different camera apps and covering some of the lenses and the picture/video quality seems always to be the same even if it's only 1 lense uncovered.
Can someone confirm/deny?

IMHO pretty useless, but you should see difference in portrait mode, where background is blurry when additional modules work and sharp when are covered.

Uhm.... you have 3 Back Cameras.
1 is Normal Mode 48mp or rather 12mp with Quad Bayer raster.
2 is wide Angle which has bigger FoV
3 is Macro Lens.
And only one camera is used at a time.
Only exception is the ToF Sensor that looks like a camera but only brings Depth infos for focus.
IMHO best Camera Quality comes with Google Camera mod and a custom XML.
