Unless you need a phone desperately, why not wait on the Mate 9? It`ll be out soon with supposedly a much better camera.
Fwiw, i passed on the 8 because of its camera and UI. Loved everything else though.

I think the camera is pretty good, for a pinhole camera. The problem a LOT of people have is they don't know how to take a photograph.
I don't care if it does have OIS, you still need to hold the device STILL. I've been a photographer for over 40 years. If you don't hold it still,
your photo will look like crap. Also, people will shoot into the light, blame the camera, shoot in dark light, blame the camera.
Also, first thing I do when I get a new phone, is DITCH the camera app and use Camera FV-5, which gives you more control over the photo.
People are quick to blame the phone/camera, when 1/2 the time, it's the person pushing the shutter that is the real problem.

do you have a personal experience with the camera? i used G4 before. camera on that was pretty good.

I'd say the camera on the Mate 8 is fine. Go ahead and pick it up.

I returned my G4 to Amazon after 7 months, it was already giving signs of bootloop... And I took a Mate 8 with the money... I want to be sincere, the phone is Awesome, above all the battery... But the media part is far from being comparable. The camera does below average quality photos during the day, but with low light You'll see a lot of noise... Plus the standard click and shoot sometimes fails to focus where you want... The video are better BUT if you film a concert the audio will be pure crap.

G4 camera is way ahead, unfortunately. That's not to say the Mate8's camera is really bad, but it's not as good as the one in the G4.

Maybe I'm crazy, but I thought the G4's photos were full of noise when you zoom in, and I'm really happy with the Mate 8's photos. I particularly appreciate the automatic sharpening that the Huawei does by taking multiple photos and combining the information. (You can see this happens when it says "sharpening photo, hold the camera steady". It takes about half a second, and it only happens in low light photos.)
The G4 also really bothered me in that it turned on its "beautify" setting all by itself, no matter how many times I turned it off. It made me look like a goddam barbie doll--any photo taken with that setting was worthless and had to be discarded.
On the other hand, I've never had a serious complaint about the Mate 8's camera.

Beauty filter on the Mate8 also auto-enables.
G4 camera simply is better, due to the larger sensor.
But as this is a Huawei thread only the positive things count I guess.

Hey mate 8 users, today i went to the shop but the mate 8 was out of juice, shop owner plugged the device in to the charger after 5 mins of charging device didn't turn on, this went on for 20 mins, after about 30 mins he could start it, soon as power came on i tried to check the camera, device powered down soon as i open the camera. is this normal?

ANyone?

A normal mate 8 works perfectly without any issues.

1) Thanks, didn't know that. My usage patterns must have changed. I didn't realize I stopped taking selfies with girls.
2) It may have a larger sensor size, but the firmware is inferior. See my comments about pixelation on the G4 versus multi-image sharpening on the Mate 8.
3) Only positive things count? Aren't I the only one that said anything negative about the LG G4 camera? The bias is on your side of the court, not mine. I suggest you don't go into data analysis.

Mate 8 camera is good enough for me
Just got my phone delivered yesterday and with the few pics I've tested so far, it reminded me how hyper-critical reviews can be from the "experts." The reviews have a tendancy to knock down otherwise amazing devices, just because of the reviewer's own personal feel for what a camera "should" be or do, and/or the user interface that might not be what people are used to. Without even having really set up my phone completely yet (save for Contacts and Calendar sync), I absolutely love this phone and the pics I've taken have been great. The image stabilization on this thing is ridiculously good, which is great for someone like me, who doesn't necessarily have the steadiest hands.

I've been slowly getting to set it up, so it is ready to go when I activate the prepaid T-mobile SIM, but I will try to post some shots this weekend. I am not the best photographer though. One thing I can say that is being underrated is the OIS. For someone like me, who doesn't have the steadiest hands, it is great for point and shoot.

I´d say the overall quality of mate 8 is great! I took these on Firmware C900B133 (NXT-AL10 >> L29) in "normal" mode without effects or editing, only shrinked to half size
Frosty Seaside

With electric or emitted light, the pictures are abit more noisy, but im happy even with low-light scenarios.

Wow! These photos are great !
Can someone replicate / take a picture of the moon as show below?
took that one with the LG G4 manual mode.
Take a look at the night scene on GSMArena. Camera from Mate 8 is one of the best for very fine details, colour rendition, image processing (without halos, sharpening artifacts, smudging etc). Compare it with the best cameras (Samsung Galaxy s6 edge plus, LG G4 etc) and you'll see. I was very impressed and surprised, too. Sorry, I can't post examples /screenshots. Have a nice day !
The camera is great i have also Nexus 6p and i dont See any difference.
I took this pic last night. No flash, just street/ambient lights and auto focus on camera.

but mate 8 is more powerfull and way faster
The camera on the Mate 8 is good. It's about on par with my Nexus 6. It's great outdoors and good in most low light situations. The front camera on the Mate 8 is probably one of the best though. Here's a pic of me and the wife taken with the front camera in a restaurant with very dim lighting.

LOL the note 5 camera is a little better but it shouldn't make or break your decision to stick with the Mate 8. I mean, maybe I should sell my Mate 8 as well because it's nowhere near as good as my DSLR.

LG G4 dissapointed with camera :(

Hi!
I bought Lg G4 very much for its camera, but my Nexus 6 still takes better pictures...........
First pic is from g4 and second is from Nexus 6. G4 is picking up sunlight and making pictures to bright......very dissapointed.
They look about the same to me. Try some different shots I guess.
I am quite impressed with G4 camera, beats the S6 edge and Priv we have.

You can see the sunbeam on the back of the chair on the G4.
Here is two other examples. First one from Nexus 6, second one from G4. Nexus 6 pic is much more vivid and clear, LG G4 is to bright and catches all sunlight on the picture,
Ohh yah I see it there. Have you tried dark shots with out sun light.
I don't have a Nexus 6 to compare but I do wonder if maybe you got a bad camera on a G4 (if that is possible).
Are you on the latest version too, M?
It may make a difference where you touch to focus too.

This is just different focus points. G4 has laser focus and probably focuses on another area. Indoor pictures are crap anyway especially when shot against bright windows.

Yes i am on Marshmallow. Still picks up every sunbeam there is, doesent matter where I focus. Here is another example. The sunbeam looks like a white mark across the picture, my Nexus 6 does not pick up that at all
see if this help:
clean the camera lens, then take a shot;
i have my G4 for 3 weeks and i love photography ! i have photos that make me say WT...lolololol

all in manual mode
You have full manual controls with RAW capability. Regardless of how auto works, tweaking manual settings will produce far better shots than the Nexus 6 would ever be capable of producing.
Now for the helpful less "fan boy sounding" response: LG tend to blow out highlights in the background to produce a proper exposure for the main subject.
Even the G5 looks like this will be the case, as sampled here
Personally, I think Samsung nailed the auto camera experience with the S6 generation phones. LG have more capability, but it's lessened by the fact most users are not photographers.
Kind of looking forward to the S7 for this reason, it brings back all the features I couldn't tolerate losing with the S6 and enhances the camera even more.
To fix your problem (particularly in environments like your photos)
Turn the brightness up to about 80% with auto brightness disabled
Switch to manual in the camera
Keep everything auto, but fiddle with ISO and exposure time.
Keep the ISO as low as possible while making sure you can take a photo without motion blur from hand shakes (1/30 is as slow as I go usually)
When it looks right on screen, take the shot.
If in doubt and you're feeling technogically empowered, enable RAW.
Happy snapping
Your shooting scene is a difficult one. Play with Manual. The G4 camera is plain excellent. Ecstatic even.
If you want to record a video you are doomed, no manual mode there. Enjoy massive overexposure and over saturated colors. And the retarded ois of course...

Thanks all for your replies. Its going back. I want a phone with a camera who can take ok pictures without having to fiddle with manual settings. I am no photographer and have no interest in changing settings for every scenario.
İ thing ur LG g4's camera has some problem cause i also used h815 and right now h818p mine was not like that bad u can look my photo's from the link
Edit I'm not photographer also it's really easy to learn manual settings just try but automatic also not bad

Good shot is it automatic or Manuel if Manuel than if u was try to ISO 50 and 4second exposure u can get gread pics u can also check my photos if u want
I went through my gallery to check indoor pictures. Definitely a faulty unit/optics/glass you have there, did not notice the same effect here.
Maybe you (OP) are looking at it from a wrong angle. I think the G4 camera just records what is sees. It's not its fault that there are sun rays. On the other hand, the N6 doesn't capture what there really is. Besides, the net is full of tutorials how to catch sunbeams. With G4 you get it out of the box.
This must be a problem with dirt on the lens or the protective glass, nothing to do with the camera, the camera is awesome. Could even be on the inside so it might be hard to remove without disassembling the phone.

Is the camera this bad?

I've heard too many negative reviews about the camera and that it can be a deal breaker..so which camera is better iphone 6's camera or the axon 7's camera?
Bought the phone because previous one was stolen few days before I went traveling in China. Been more than happy with the pictures it takes. Panorama is cool too. It struggled with low light, but it improving noticably with every update.
Uploaded a few pics from a national park in China for you. You be the judge. All pics were made with auto mode.
https://apexalpha.stackstorage.com/index.php/s/NZeWb0ifRNf02aM
I have to say though. The iPhone costs $300 more. If you care so much go for the Galaxy S7 for camera (and Android)
Actually not that bad
I remember hearing tons of negative reviews on the camera and being worried that it wasn't going to be that good but after using the phone for about a week I can honestly say the camera is pretty good. It does struggle a bit in low light, though but that's simply because of the amount of megapixels. In my opinion, some reviewers are just a bit picky

I'm coming from a Nexus 6P and the Axon 7 camera just doesn't compare, especially in low light. The 6P had a great camera. That being said, since B27 came out things have improved noticeably and while the camera still isn't ad good as the 6P, it's more usable now and does produce decent enough shots in low and pretty good ones in good light.
Sent from my ZTE A2017U using Tapatalk
Low light scenes are very challenging for the camera. ZTE really need to improve the HDR processing, where it can't touch 2015's Nexus phones and where it trails the much cheaper Honor 7.
There's not much sun where I am and I'm really noticing the difference.
You can certainly get better-looking results by playing with white balance in manual mode but that won't help you if you want to snap a darker foreground without blowing out all the background detail - a trick the Nexus phones' HDR+ excels at. I know they are deadly slow but I'd be happy to put up with much longer exposure times if it meant better pictures.
Could you please provide some selfie snaps as I'm kindda of a selfie guy?
Also I currently have the iPhone 5 so if the axon's camera is worse than the iphone 5 I might go with the oneplus 3 even though I hate its 1080p screen

Camera in low light sucks

This camera is just so bad in low light. Any fixes? I upgraded from a M8 but damn the camera is so far behind.
Bad how? I think it's good, if you hold it steady. It doesn't have OIS which is a shame, but the sensor seems particularly good and it has a wide aperture lens.

Yes, there is a fix.
Turn lights on, or pick a well lit scenario.
Jokes aside, it's just how this camera is. The sensor is bad in low light situations, as I guess it enjoys turning the ISO way high, and while a lower ISO would probably give you better pics, it would turn out blurred because the sensor is not mechanically stabilized.
It's not too bad, but shooting in auto mode tends to bump up the iso, which results in a noisy photo. I usually switch to manual mode, keep the iso around 400 and adjust shutter time according to the situation. It's maximum 1/3 of a second, so you shouldn't have too much trouble holding it still for that long.
Photos come out more detailed and sharper that way. Much better than in auto mode.
Also coming from the m8.. camera quality and detail really suck in comparison. Especially detail.
Considering this is the same camera as the Galaxy s7... Motorola could have done a lot more with the firmware.

Ok, now I agree...
I'm actually very upset at how bad the camera sucks, it's quite upsetting. After reading about what sensor it has, it's actually quite shocking how really bad this phone's camera is.
I was getting better pictures on my Oneplus One that was over three years old when the Moto G5 Plus came out, there simply is no reasonable excuse for performance this poor.
I think I'll want to never buy another Moto/Lenovo product again, unless they do something to remedy this situation.

The M8 had a sensor with large pixels and a low pixel count specifically to perform better in low light.
It's a shame that no one buys products and reviews them for the community, so they can make an informed decision on the pros and cons of a particular product before spending a bunch of money on them...
Well, my experience has been totally opposite, this thing has probably the best low light camera along with top dogs like s7/8 u11, pixel.
although it requires moded libs for it.
My experience is that the low light on mine is comparable to my m8 the color is poor but after color correction they come out decent.

You're joking, right? Swapping in hacked libs that make your phone take crappy 2MP photos in exchange for "software enhanced" photos is not putting it on par with the S6/7 lol

No i'm not talking about 2mp photos but full 12mp.
Ofc it's not going to give you 100% same results cuz there are still some hardware is lacking like OIS. but you haven't paid 100% same price either.
so you gotta consider that too .
I think it's something to do with the image processing. The Snapdragon 625 has pretty decent low light image processing but I don't think it's as good compared to something like the sd 820, 821 or even 835.

Photo quality

Say "cheese", then rate this thread to express how photos taken with the Huawei Mate 30 Pro 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!
Here are my samples from Mate 30 PRO - i think it's great camera phone, much better than my older phones like P20 PRO, Samsung Galaxy S9+, LG V30 etc. Only night mode sucks a lot, produce very unnatural photos - good to see on mobile phone screen, not acceptable on big monitor.

Yeah, but I've always had issues with Huawei phones when I had to sideload Google services. I'm hoping that all of these bans are lifted and that Huawei will release an updated international version with Google services baked in. I was really hoping for a Mate 30 X though. ?
Good cam and good phone
Front Camera / Selfie Camera is bad at taking close up photo/portrait (>30cm). It is blurring my face & focusing on the background instead. Even I tried to tap no my face, it just didn't focus to my face at close distance. I have to take my phone further away (>50cm) to get a good detail on my face. Is this normal? Any workaround for this issue? Or am I the only one who have this issue?
Quality is awesome but sometimes in lowlight there's some pink tint in photos .. does anyone else get that?
Some of the pink tint I notice in photos I'll upload . I have the Chinese version , is this more than likely just camera software related?

Not all photos are like that just some lowlight ones.
I think Mate 30 Pro cameras are the best right now.
I hate software process tone too much. Shadow is too dark and lost detail. I need to +shadow in editor to fix it.
Is their permanent way to +shadow in every photo after shot?

Lol.. no one even remember or bother to talk about LG these days... poor almost like no update support plus bootlooping nightmare like no tomorrow...
Yeah, right...
just remember this: v50 murders mate 30 pro in every single aspect, photo, video, audio etc
Has anyone been able to do the video real life segmentation, what they also call multi-instance where you can change the background while recording videos?.

Your picture also reminded me how bad battery life that LG never grow up, even I couldn't find any picture comparison but I know how good LG photos are like and agreed LG can take good picture too, I had G2, 3, 4, 5, 6, v20 last gpad3 but when I changed to Huawei, I wondered how good long battery life can last me almost 2 days never worry to charge or carry second battery on the road, system stability and cooling control are obviously stronger, never feel hot after a long used... all and all... I had enough of LG specially my G4, G6 and gpad3 bootloop issues blown my head off, I then beat the pain so long to LG and never look back!
I'm getting 10-12 hours with pretty heavy usage.

I wa curious about your opinion and checked samples from V50 - i have 32" monitor, this is only objective way to give real opinion about photos. On smaller screen pictures from all phones looks almost the same, only colors are different. In my opinion LG V50 is not even close to Mate 30 PRO. This is the same camera like LG G8 - last amazing camera phone from LG was G5. LG camera generates blurry image without details, looks good when i resize window to 50% only. Of course You can try GCAM or RAW editing, but default app generate trash photos.

I don't know what samples did you downloaded, but I compared my V50 to P30 Pro, Mate 30 Pro, Note 10+, iphone 11 max, and Nokia pure view. I can tell you mate 30 pro and P30 pro looses to all the above phones. V50 is the winner in every single aspect compared to allnof those phones. However Nokia Pure View beat it in some tests, but not overall. Chinese products are still Chinese...
