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.

front cam is awesome, takes awesome selfies.
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)

cheers :good:

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.

Photos made with front camera

Hello guys.
I'm thinking about this phone.
Everything is excellent, but still im concerned about camera(front facing/selfie)
So, would anybody share his/her selfie with me?
And... what phone wins: Zenfone 2 or OnePlus X in matter of selfie?
here a selfie on a movie set. it was quite dark in the room. no daylight and some smoke maybe.

the built-in camero of OOS. For me it's good enough.
Acc to me front camera is betrer than most of the phones
I believe ,my friends, and all who have seen my phone,
Says tht its front camera is second to none.
To be honest i feel the front cameea to be the best of all the phones i have seen.
Oos camera is pretty good with face beauty and it works perfectly.
Normal images are clear to .
And if u want to buy this phone becoz of the camera ,then i shall remind u . it give perfect shot for selfies!! ??
I've seen people complaining that this front camera gave too much distortion comparing to other device. Honesty, I don't have comparison point and I don't use it....

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!

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

Ambiental = lowlight? in low light scenes is big improvment to have fixed phone, put your hands on something stable, or leave phone recumbent on beer bottle

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.

Hi everyone! I have this phone for a week now and it's beautiful, my previous Android phone was a p9 and I have noticed that selfie quality was better on p9, a lot better. Mate 9 makes my selfie too white, even if I disable beauty mode. I have touched every setting but pictures seems worse than p9 and I actually hope better quality. Have you noted the same thing? My mate 9 model is Latin America (c605 I think)
Any info would be appreciate than you.

I've noticed this also. It's definitely a light issue as I've taken some really good selfies.
You can change a setting at the top in the centre when you swap the camera around. It keeps the setting and when you flip back to selfie keeps it. I think this helped reduce the whiteness.

Thank you for your reply . I dont understand what setting are you talking about, it is a setting for the rear camera or for the selfie camera? In the read camera, in the center of the main screen i only see the the color mode (standard, "smooth colors" or "vivid colors") is that the setting you are talking about?
Thank you in advance and excuse my poor english

Hi.
Yes that was the setting. I changed it and then switched the selfie camera. Seemed to work as I managed to take a really good selfie that was good enough as a profile photo. It is still a little white though.
Just out of interest are you using the Chinese Rom version?

Thank you for your reply. I'm not using the Chinese version, I'm using the rom for Latinoamérica as I'm from argentina and my home language is Spanish. I'm with the b111 software version, waiting for the new update, do you have it?
Hmm. No I've just rebranded my phone to L29. I think it's a lighting issue. Some of the selfish I've taken are way too pale. I've turned that beautify app off which seems to be the culprit take a selfie with the light in front of you should reducer be amount of whitening effect.
Try cleaning the camera from fingerprints can help a lot.
Anyone has tried using selfie stick for mate9? If yes please come to this topic to help me, it seems not working on my mate9 Thanks!

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 Samsung Galaxy Note 10+'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.

Back cameras - awesome. There's a few spots in my garden which I think are a great test case - there's a light above, and a dark shed just to the side, instead of either blowing up the dark shed or the light, it takes the picture pretty much the way my eyes see it.
Front camera - eh... it could be way better. It's not terrible, but to my eyes, the selfie camera ain't much different from my old S6. Of course there's a major difference when there's good light, but in low light tho, not so much. Hope this can be made better with an update.

Try again front cam with Gcam...
Front cam is very good (lens, hardware), but stock software is a pita for front cam which is solved with gcam, especially in low light.

Every gcam I'm trying gives me force close. Got any working apk?
I tried a working gcam, but found it to be really slow, I couldn't stand it, uninstalled, is not worth all the hassle in having other 3 separate cam apps, the version That finally worked for me, was comprised by 3 gcam apps!

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
https://f.celsoazevedo.com/file/cfiles/gcm1/GCam_7.2.010_Urnyx05-v2.3.apk
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!

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?
