Low light - Honor 8X Real Life Review

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 8X'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.

I wouldn’t say I’m a photography buff, but I do really like taking photos. When I had my iPhone, I used it for casual snaps, but grabbed my DSLR if I was going on a trip. I love to play around with different filters and effects, so when I got this phone I started playing around with the camera and unearthed a LITERAL wonderland of surprises.
I counted, like, 15 different modes. But actually, there’s more than 15, because there’s a Live photo-esque function called Moving picture, and something called AI photography, which as far as I can tell just figures out what you’re snapping and tweaks the parameters to make the photo look nicer. Sometimes it can be annoying, but it’s easy to turn off so I don’t mind it.
Anyways, the features are a mixed bag, there are some super useful ones like Portrait (with a bunch of different lighting effects that are fun to play around with). But there are also some weird ones like “Document scan” (Not a scanner? What is it for?), and Good Food – which, as far as I can tell, is just an oversaturated filter that makes all your food look kind of bloody.
Basically it’s pretty obvious to me from some casual use that this is a phone with a ton of spare parts that lacks cohesive branding or categorization. Which…IMHO could be a wonderful thing, actually – coz it means you can apply your own creativity to do what you want with it. It’s a sandbox with ready made parts.
To illustrate my point, let’s talk about the Night feature.
Obviously, this mode was designed to help you take photos at night. When it goes off, it takes a few seconds to work, but you can literally watch the photo you’re taking become brighter and better looking. Somehow the tech makes it so the first shot is the base shot, and then some kind of magic happens in the background that adds light and detail captured over time into the same photo—kind of like HDR. In the end, what you get is basically an incredibly detailed photo.
What impressed me about this Night feature is that I’m used to bringing out my tripod for my DSLR if I’m shooting at night. I’d always assumed that you’d have to keep the camera super still in order to grab photos at night because that’s just how exposure works.
Well color me amazed, because I took these photos at night just holding my phone in my hand.
The color management looks pretty spot on, and I like how clearly defined the statues look, compared to the Normal versions.

These shots were interesting to me, because the photos are somehow more blurry in photo mode. Due in part to a slower shutter speed, I believe. While in night mode, the image resolved itself much more clearly and you can see all the details of the temple.

This feature is also great in dim lighting conditions or even dark animals. My puppy Zozo is all black (except a tiny white tuft on her left forepaw uWu), and it’s a pain to try to get good photos of her. I tried this mode in the morning (my BF sleeping in the background LOL), and you can see SO MUCH MORE DETAIL on her fur and eyes.
---------- Post added at 06:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:53 PM ----------
I used the “Individuality” filter in post editing, added a circular blur ring around Zozo, and then added a sticker. The stickers, by the way, are kind of weird, but there are a few fun ones in there.
I sent this photo to a friend who’s never met Zozo, and she was like “wow, shiny dog”. Lol. Shiny indeed.

Hello you said there is differents effects in portraits mode but I cannot find them could you help me?

low light photography is not that much great on this.

Low light photography is not good on Honor 8x.
Even portrait shot it works on 8MP shots only so less clarity.
Front cam portrait and Back cam portrait need to work on edge detection algorithm.

Yea, I noticed that low light isn't very good with the Honor 8X.

Not Sure About the Mi A1 but Mi A2 camera is well more better than Honor 8x.

The best way to get night shots on the Honor 8X is to use night mode and a tripod. Casual shots will not turn out the best.

CAMERA: Photo Quality

Say "cheese", then rate this thread to express how photos taken with the Note5 come out. A higher rating indicates that photos offer rich color (without over-saturating), sharp detail (with all subjects in-focus), and appropriate exposure (with even lighting).
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
Hands down the camera on the Note5 is the best of any smartphone I've ever used. The one weakness is fast motion: I often get blurry results when a subject is moving rapidly. I realize there is a dedicated camera setting for this, but I tend to leave the software on Auto because to be honest I never know when my subject is going to be moving quickly, like when photographing my hyper-active 2-year-old
I would say best camera user experience I've ever had with a smartphone. Very fast, very easy to use and almost always successful pictures. Image quality only beaten by my old Lumia 1020, but that thing takes 3 seconds to take a picture
Pro mode and RAW (DNG) conversion can give some stunning results:

one word awesome
I'm not a pro at taking pics,but yet the results are breathtaking more over the camera Ui has improved drastically,speed,ease,
One of the best cameras on a phone out there now. With some RAW processing, the quality is breathing taking.
Since i had the G4 before i know what good camera is about, G4 wins easily at low light situations, they break even in daylight but at times the Note produce more accurate colour than G4.

Apple I 6 users jealous
My girl is so jealous because she will send me a picture she snaps on her I-6 and when viewed on the "God Phone" (aka Note 5) it looks 10x better than hers. Love this phone. Other phone users share the same jealousy.
simply its amazing
i love it , but when i wanna take longexpo shots i realized that you have to be so far away from any light source
otherwise you'll get blown up image,
ofc after all its smartphone camera. so its wonderful

Can you share that setting you have for fast moving objects
Im trying to figure out what i can do with the raw settings. Havent been able to decompile the smali enough though to understand it
Best camera phone i have used till date
These are the pictures from an aquarium at Bangalore, India.
I found the noise to be minimal. I have used HTC Camera port for Z1 on my N920G with Dr.Ketan's Rom and it's simply amazing. I found the sharpening of stock camera app high and tweaked it with the HTC app and added little saturation and contrast. I needed to set it only once and i was simply stunned by the photos i got from my phone. This is my first Samsung phone and i'm totally loving it
Made me satisfied

Honor 8 Camera Thread

Thread to discuss Honor 8 camera tips, tricks, hardware, software updates and settings. Also post photos of what your Honor 8 camera can do.
Yes, dual settings are always beneficial, as one lens captures vibrant colors, to give life to the image, and the other one captures amazing details to provide a crispness.

I'm not exactly happy with the camera. Quite disappointed tbh..
Here's what I noticed. Please confirm if you notice the same behavior on your devices or if it's just me.
1. The UI and the whole functionality in general is just quite primitive.. For one, the front/back switch button should be at the bottom where you can easily reach it using one hand. Like on the S7.
2. Snapping a picture isn't fast and instant. I found many times that the camera takes about a second to fine tune focus THEN it takes the snap then it asks to keep the device steady for sharpening. Even if it didn't do that, it still takes a moment after pressing the snap button to actually take the shot. This is what bugs me the most about the camera.
3. Why does recording video have to take an extra tap and, therefore, more time? Why isn't it as easy as tapping a record button on the main viewfinder screen?
4. I found pictures to be extremely dull. Colors are sad.. washed out.
5. "image adjustment" is quite a joke. Changing the values either explodes up or murders image features. For example trying to fix dull colors results in either extremely dead pictures or extremely punched out colors.
6. Even if I did accept the resulting changes from "image adjustment", I found that after a while it resets itself and I have to set it again...!
7. "AF Auxillary Light" option in pro photo mode never stays turned off. If I choose to turn it off, it should stay off.
8. I was told there was a vertical panorama mode where you can take panoramic shots of long buildings for example. Can't find it.
I do like how sharp the images are. Even compared to the S7, pictures preserve much more details. Something that often shows clearly when pixel peeping. Although, the dull colors that need post adjustment and the sluggish slow snapping just takes away all the fun, luxury and efficiency.
My toughs in Low light conditions:
i have a S6 edge and a normal S6 and both phones takes better pictures in almost all situations in comparation with the honor in auto mode....sadly...
to make good pictures like my S6 I have to go in pro mode in the Honor 8 and make adjustments and even so, in the 40% of time the S6 wins in sharpness, detail in low light conditions...
most of the time I need 1 picture in the Samsung and 4 or 5 tries in the Honor to mach the picture in the Samsung.
good camera but for me but if you came from a samsung s6/s7 you will strange the honor 8.
in the color accuracy I think that the honor is more true colors..
the main problem for me in the honor 8 is the lake of OIS, the pictures, especially in low light conditions are most of the time, out of focus...
the camera app, I think that is no good for take pictures in auto mode...
in outdoors:
In 90% of the cases, Honor is the the winner for me.
Better colors, better contrast, better details overall...

Yes I did I used "Night mode" to take that photo of the fountain at night. That mode requires some kind of a tripod or something similar because it is like long time exposure photo, so it took 55 seconds so the phone has to be stand still. Try it on Your own you will be amazed

Really? With night mode? This came out really good, good colours not that dim! Quite detailed for a camera of a 400€ smartphone. I think if you used Pro mode you coulded've got a better result, this is still pretty good tho for a digital and not OIS camera.
Twice exposing
Have one or more P20 lite owners experienced that the camera takes 2 or more pictures, when it only should take one picture? It happens periodically when I take pictures in dark environment, specially when is a weak light source as f.ex neon light on a street shop at night and I dont hold the phone still enough. It looks like it takes an extra or more pictures when the first picture has poor quality. The camera in my P20 lite has basic settings, nothing is changed

Those are not bad at all. Asus seems to be taking mobile stuff a bit more seriously now, so hoping the app - or GCam - improves things.

Wow, those came out better than I would've expected. Then again, I'm use to my V20, which looks bad at anything above ISO 400. I'm surprised you started to get star trails with that focal length too. Get a handful of those in a row and that could make for a good composite with long trails.

Yeah the star trails weren't really that bad, more like just not pin point stars anymore. Here is a photo at 20s and iso800. When zoomed in you can see very slight trails.

Not effing bad for a phone, ISO 800 looks ok, the 1600 not so much ahah but it's not a reflex after all
Coming from a Pixel 2XL, i REALLY miss the ois ...
Daylight photos are fine but low light is junk. Garbage would be too kind to describe it. The ONLY thing wrong with the phone. It is still my phone off the year though... And I've used them all.
Photos below comparing low light pixel 4xl and pixel 3xl to it. Daylight (pixels first in each collage) was good but not premium. Colours a bit muted.
Asus need to really do something about the camera quality. It's a premium priced product (although accessories included here in Australia for $1699aud) with a mid range camera (although the pixel 3a kills it).
Agreed, coming from many years of Samsung phones the camera is straight up trash !
You can't depend on it and in most cases i am not in a bright sunny environment but indoors, cloudy environment, etc.
Gcam mods kinda work but i find them to be kinda slow and therefore i lose the moment to capture a moment quite often.
Asus really NEED to spend serious time on this after the Android 10 release and come out with a MAJOR camera update.
Love pretty much everything else of the phone but the camera is a real let down and should not have been released this way.

Tried both but i have not really seen which is better due to the camera not really being consistent.

The camera is the weakpoint of this phone. For the price you pay for it, I would have expected a much more decent camera.
Attached photo was done in a bright room but you can clearly see that the noise is present and the details of the wooden floor disappear.

In order to be able to compare the quality of the above photo, I added another one that was took using an iphone 11. Same room, same light.

I know it's not fair to compare it to a phone that costs the same as almost two s10 lite phones but I'm guessing that the SE 2020 which is on the same level will beat it.
The screen is nice though ...
Honestly fine.
I dont know why people gave this a low rating. I feel like people are expecting to much from Phone camera's.
For an average human being that takes a pics for memories or casual photo albums its more than fine. Enough options to choose from.
I do miss the lack of tap to focus, unless i missed it somewhere in the settings.
Hi people,
The cams are ok in good light situations i think for the price of the phone!
Only in low light situations it will have not so good performance. The aperture is only 2.0 so for that aperture is not so strange. Try to get as much as light as possible and your photo's will be ok!
I have a question, is this camera able to take RAW photos? And can you use a third party app to change the shutter speed?

The camera is the weakpoint of this phone. For the price you pay for it, I would have expected a much more decent camera.
Attached photo was done in a bright room but you can clearly see that the noise is present and the details of the wooden floor disappear.

In order to be able to compare the quality of the above photo, I added another one that was took using an iphone 11. Same room, same light.

I know it's not fair to compare it to a phone that costs the same as almost two s10 lite phones but I'm guessing that the SE 2020 which is on the same level will beat it.
The screen is nice though ...

It's a reaaaally huge difference dude! I am disappointed, I was thinking to get the lite for me, maybe not after see that pics.
One area that the camera impressed with was digital zoom (8x). Daylight pictures from 20 feet away were good. Guess that's one advantage of a high megapixel count.

Edit:
Now that i have the phone i think its very disappointing, can't make sharp pictures. Whatever camera app i use, zoomed in to the picture its not sharp, compared with ipad pro 2017. Everything is soft. People complain about it allot with s10 series. I didnt expect miracles from this phone but it is just ridiculous if every photo is to soft.
