Could someone post a picture with the camera zoomed in on something? I have the nexus 6p and would like to see what a zoomed in photo looks like.
Thanks

Here you go!

Not the best

excellent camera..
here are some samples
just go here for complete sample shots album..

zoom focus is appalling in function. hardware probably all good enough and purely poor software !
Lack of updates addressing this is my biggest annoyance with Huawei. They happy ignore it and just spend the resources on pushing next device .

Low light photos are bad as well

I would cut them some slack on low level shots but good light and poor focus response is ridiculous, should of been resolved in updates but no .

rip their updates

13 mp shooter really does its job,

Love the front cam

Photo quality is really superb.

The quality is decent, all things considered. However I've been having a lot of problems with the focus. It regularly drifts completely out of focus and then slowly (over the next 30 seconds to a minute) drifts back. Tapping to focus does nothing in this case. It's really irritating when I'm shooting video. I don't know if it's a hardware or software problem, but I suspect the AF unit is on the fritz.

How can I improve a better quality on photos, I see that photo is really bad on ambiental light

I had this problem with my Oneplus One a while back. All my low-light photos had terrible color and noise. However it was fixed when I flashed a rom with a custom camera hal (color os hal to be specific) and it was a night and day difference. Colors were spot-on, noise was almost completely gone in low-light. The camera app itself also seems to have a big role in picture quality. If it wasn't for the oneplus one having the same camera hardware as China's oppofind7 phone (which runs color os), the corporation wouldn't have made an effort to create the color os camera hal. So its kind of a unique situation I guess.

Low light

At the club, at the bar, or just in your mom's basement, nighttime is when you come out to play. Rate this thread to express how the honor 5X's camera performs when no or low light is present. A higher rating indicates that the camera sensor "sees" lots of light in dim conditions, and that the resulting photos have minimal noise. A higher rating also indicates that when the flash fires, the resulting photo is evenly-lit without any bright spots.

Poor quality even it has a 13mp shooter.
But if you use flash it gives you decent shots.
Struggles a little bit.
Having screen flash to make our face bright for front camera. So good at this price point.
camera is worse at low light, pictures looks grainy

We're terribly sorry that you're not pleased with the Honor 5X's camera in low light. We advise that you turn on the flash before you take a picture to help improve the lighting. To turn the flash on, please go to to the top left of the camera app and select the flash icon. You can also adjust your images in "Image adjustment" by going to the camera settings within the camera app. If these troubleshooting steps don't help, please give our Honor Support Team a call at 1-844-524-6667.

Most cameras have noise, just make sure you change the ISO in settings from auto to 800. Also get the Photoshop express app and retouch the images you like. Also keep the camera still or rest it on a chair or table for a better shot.

Yes but it captures more detail. Afterward try a retouching program to help adjust the quality. ISO should be low for more sharpness but you lose detail. It low light you need ISO to be high to capture more detail since it's too dark.

Selfie quality

You're beautiful and everyone knows it. That's why you take selfies. Rate this thread to express how the front-facing camera of the honor 5X performs. A higher rating indicates that the front camera produces fantastic results consistently.

It performs pretty well in good lighting conditions. Especially the beauty mode cleans all blemishes and unwanted things in our face. So we look pretty good than real.
Other then looking like a Japanse Anime character.. Without those filters i would give it a 7.5. When its dark a 4

There is a beauty slider. Set it to 3 or 5, you will get good quality of your face. Some ppl try to keep it 10 to look extremely beautiful.
I wouldn't say it's the best front facing selfie camera, but it does the job even in good lighting, not so bad at low light, but isn't great.

It uses screen flash to produce white light. So it is not so bad at low lighting.

beauty mode helps a lil bit with skin smothening.

Thank you so much for saying that our front camera is awesome! We truly appreciate your review. Here at Honor, we truly care about our customers and their comments. Don't forget to try the "Capture smiles" mode, which takes your picture automatically when it detects a smile. You can access that setting by going to the settings within your camera app and enabling it. (ED)

Sub parts, beauty mode is bad
Does the job
I use the front cam all the time for various purposes. Quite happy with it.
I am a camera shy guy so selfies don`t matter to me. But whenever I took them, that 5MP front camera is just enough. Front camera pictures give 'painting-like' pictures when zoomed in about 75%. My rating is 6/10.
I don't take selfies that much so this is sufficient for me.

It isnt my daily driver though. I use it for development .
Better better better for sure. With 5mp it does the job very well. And pictures can be taken with touch in back FP scanner which is excellent and provide ease of use
its nice ,,5mp shooter does its job very well
Just good. Not bad.

Do you guys think these G5 camera shots are normal?

Just as what the title says, do you guys think these G5 camera shots are normal? Why?
To me they look mostly terrible, especially when zoomed in, the pics would go blurry and painting-like. Lots of grains in low lights. I hope this is normal though.
I'm wondering how this handset is even a flagship

Really appreciate your confirmation. I just thought mine was defective and that I needed to get it replaced before the warranty is out. Mine is a G5 SE by the way.
Still, this selfie shot of my pal bugs me out, given plenty of light and the shot still looks like sht. I mean it doesn't look good enough to my taste, rather too cartoonish sigh../:
Photo's aren't meant to be zoomed into unless you take them manual RAW.
The selfie I would say the mouth moved causing the weirdness.
The photo's on the my G5 are excellent and manual is as good as you'll get outside of an SLR.
Reading the specs for the G5 SE, seems it's a different processor? Probably accounts for the shots coming out a bit blurry if the processor can't keep up. If the processor is cut down the the phone you have isn't a flagship
I would get an S6 or S7 if you're not happy, as the iphones cameras are pants.

Well, that sounds like bad news I wanted to love this phone. Anyways thanks for clearing it up for me
Video recording is tough for me as well. My brother took some amazing videos with iPhone SE compared to my blurry ones. As for the photos Simple & Auto are the worst. I'm guessing it has something to do with software. Try Manual, tinkering with the settings, and you'll notice the difference.
Here are some pics I took using Manual.

Wow superb shots you got there! So your G5 in simple & auto mode takes about as bad quality still pics as mine? like water color paintings?
G5 is bad in taking macro shots, on the contrary it's very good in panorama shots.

disable the face tune completely, you know, that slider at the bottom

G5 takes amazing shots, I use it for my instagram, it's fantastic!!!!
If you want very sharp shots, use manual mode, manual focus and shoot in DNG.
The wide angle lens loses lots of details in darker environment, but still so fun to use.

I dragged the slider at the bottom with a face image on both sides all the way to the left and wahlah the front camera take sharper and more detailed shots ever since. Thank you!!
So my G5 SE is normal isn't it? I don't need to RMA it right?

And remember taking selfies in bright condition makes photos sharper as the iso is not pumped up.

Also, what is shutter speed and iso for those pics, by going to the details
Yep, camera has some issues. Mine for example sometimes can't set right white color balance automaticaly . Therefore photos are really yellowish.

Have noticed that myself, esp during a sunny day, though only for landscapes and scenes, not for the pics with people in it. Also, this was something mentioned by reviews too, hopefully something that a software update will take care of.

Pretty disappointing top be honest. I still need to take more shots but I am finding inconsistency in exposure.

G cam from 7T works on the 8pro except no telephoto camera crashes the app when enabled

Photos have been a huge step up in quality from my 6t (not surprising). Does anyone know how to force the app to take in 48MP by default? There is no option that I can see to change that.

Been impressed with the camera so far. Telephoto is still hit and miss and haven't used wide angle loads but the main sensor is a big improvement over the 7 pro
I think the camera is amazing, especially super macro.
Had a little mooch around St James park for exercise during lockdown.
Yeah op did a good job this time.
Skates
I hope gcam comes when support for all the sensors
And don't forget the colour filter camera is actual an X-RAY cam!
https://www.reddit.com/r/oneplus/comments/ga7cm3/oneplus_8_pro_color_filter_camera_see_through/
There's already a gcam group on telegram, and it's producing good results
I have terrible lens flare effect, device is going back.. 1/4 of the pictures had it... At a price tag of 999 , this is not acceptable for me.. saw it on some youtuber reviews to (but they didnt mention it in one word). Guess exchanging the device will not help
Will keep my old device for a couple of months and wait for october , hehe
autofocus and main sensor is better then s20 ultra , I am owner of s20 ultra and oneplus 8 pro at the same time .
in worse light scenario oneplus win in most time , photos almost always are sharp
but in zoom S20 always wins

I see an issue where you have red blotches :laugh:
I haven't experienced the sun flare.
I have taken many pictures outdoors while hiking in various conditions and I am mostly happy with the camera. HDR is good and i like the exposure and colors I get. I don't really take any zoomed in shots so i can't speak to that but I generally like the shots coming out of the wide angle and main sensor.
a couple notes:
- I still notice a different white balance between the main and wide angle camera. Nothing bad and I still like both results
- Nightscape photos I notice a red tint in places. Some of the youtube reviews have mentioned this as well.
Will be interesting to see what this camera could do after a few updates over the summer.
I see that something in the indoor photo the focus is very bad at the corner of the picture... Someone has the same problem?
