I've had my G2 for about a week now and love it so far.
But there is one issue which irritates me, the camera. It does take a good picture and I like the 60fps 1080p. But these work best outside or in really good light.
I tried to take a video of my 11 month old son with the camera indoor and I noticed that even at 60fps, the framerate on the screen could not be more than about 20. The picture quality was not good either, lacking detail, blurry.
This translates to pictures too and perhaps the most annoying feature. When taking pictures the camera just takes ages to snap that picture. I tried to capture a moment of my son and after pressing the shutter button, I counted to 5 before the shot was taken. No good for those moments you want to capture.
Any ideas to any of this? Is it by design? Or is my phone faulty?
Hey, i have a lg g2 since last christmas and the camera is very good in some situations but in others is just hideous. Outside when it's sunny or "clear" weather the camera does a great job with details etc, in low light the focus is so so slow and and the camera itself is laggy as hell and the photo comes out ****. But my main problem is video recording, altought it records with high quality the constant focus and unfocus of the camera is anoying and when i save it and go to watch it the video is stuttering , it just isnt smooth or soft if u know what i mean, i have a ipod 5 who records better that this phone because the video comes out pretty smooth, can somebody help me fix it or it's the same for you?
I have installed XCam Lg v5.1.2 but i didnt notice any difference
I just want to be able to record with smoothness because i need to record my soccer games, thank you
I don't record video much so not much of experiences but totally agree with you on taking pictures. In good, bright condition, the iq is great but in other conditions, images look not so good, especially selfie in low-light, just horrible. I've tried all modes, HDR, Intelligent, Night, .... not much better.
My friend has an old iPhone 5, and we took a few shots at the same spot under the same "not ideal" condition, the iPhone 5 beats this 13MP, OIS-ready hand down.
I felt bad though.

yes the camera is horrible for this phone, for a 13 MP is really really bad, we cant take selfies unless its outside with good weather but the video recording makes me crazy
Front facing camera is only 2.1 mp anyway.
Has anyone found a fix for their phone taking terrie pictures? Any kind of indoor photos I take, any source if light is blinding. For such a high mp camera the detail is awful as well. My nexus 6p with an 11mp camera took infinitely better pictures, and that's really disappointing. There's also a lot of noise!
Try different camera apps. Some apps seem to take better pictures than others.
But I also noticed that pictures often look bad with low lighting.
I don't think you need my help anymore, but the priv has a bad camera app
Hey everyone,
Here's my night time video test using the Google Pixel: https://youtu.be/8Jw9FUB28a0
It's not great when there isn't lighting. With bright artificial lighting the night looks much better. The camera seems to repeatedly focus which can be annoying. Maybe that's because of the fast moving objects?
Let me know what you think.

This is my main and only complaint about the pixel, low light video recording. It is horrible. I'm hoping it is a software issue that can be fixed, but I'm lead to believe it's most likely a hardware issue. The camera can't keep focused for more than a few seconds, everything is always blurry and extremely noisy. It makes no sense because the camera takes amazing pictures and is top notch so why should the video recording quality not be the same???
I have to agree. My Pixel XL is awful in low light, with lots of noise. But the daytime shots are incredible.
Say "cheese", then rate this thread to express how photos taken with the Xiaomi Mi 10 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!
Today I get it my Mi10. Im long time owener of Mi8. First look im very dissapointed. I see, that the Mi8 make better and sharper pictures like the Mi10.

Horrible quality on the leafs and overall green balance. Way better on Mi 9(T).

Oh wow - that blurryness showcases either bad skills (no offense) or an issue with exposure - it should ever have a blurryness on daillight with OIS.
Lackluster- quite lackluster - I've seen better pictures with a Mi A2 Lite and GCam (no OIS) and both Mi 9T Stock camera.

Horrible imagines, total lack of sharpness due to large sensor and aperture
The camera is a big shame!!! I'm soooo disappointed by the rear camera. Contrast and so on seems to be ok, but all pictures with the rear camera lack complete sharpness, it's awful. Compared to both the Nexus 5x and the Samsung Galaxy s9, which both only have 12mpx, the quality when zooming is soooo much worse on the mi10. Also photos in low light were better and brighter with the older two phones. Only when turning night mode on they get brighter but still. So the mi10 camera is unusable for me due to the horrible sharpness. Probably that's what comes from the huge aperture and sensor size, you only get a tiny area which is sharp on a photo, while 90% of the image is just blurry ****. Honestly if Xiaomi Cannot fix this issue soon I'll sell that dumb phone, it makes me more than mad on such an expensive phone!!! Also probably the low light imagines are not so good due to the high megapixel. Just very embarassing for Xiaomi to put a camera capable of making photos which are 90% blurry and complete inability to zoom in the picture as it just looks blurry when zooming only a little, each 12 Mox shooter has a much better sharpness when zoomed in the final picture compared to this phone. Even the front camera takes sharper pictures!!!!!!!
Plus there's the issue that photos often get only taken in 0.7mpx. I don't know if that's an issue of xiaomi or of Google photos, usually resizing to 16mpx but sometimes 0.7mpx. But might also be that photos are sometimes only taken in 0.7mpx of this stupid phone. And no the quality when zoomed in the final picture is equally worse in the full 25(27) and even 108mpx photos!!!

I completely agree with you.
Is your phone defective?
1. Xiaomi Mi 10 Pro is top camera on dxomark
2. Xiaomi Mi 10 camera is the same as the Pro = Samsung Bright S5KHMX

It's the same sensor yes. But a different config of lenses.
Xiaomi mi 10 and mi 10 pro is very different in the camera sektion.
Mi 10 dosent have 5x telephoto as Mi 10 pro has, for one more example.
Just check the specsheet.

Chinese companies are always at top of the leaderboard and are known for offering money for reviews. Why offer money for reviews when it's free?
I wouldn't trust the reviews.
