LeEco Le 2 X620 (non-Pro) uses the same rear camera. Samples: 1, 2, 3, 4.
To be honest, it looks like this phone's camera would be average at best. What a pity

Well that is disappointing, why they would cripple such and incredible device with a sub par camera makes no sense?
I was all before this now will need to see some reviews on the camera in real life before I drop $1000 CAN on it

A properly written driver could improve the camera's performance but it's still an average one. I wish it used Mi Note 2's IMX318 but sacrifices had to be made to keep the price low.
Xiaomi always uses few suppliers for their camera sensor so this could be just one variant out of many.
The reason of not using IMX318 or even IMX378, I guess is due to keep the phone slim. There is a huge 4400mah battery and many other things like ultrasonic sensor, piezoelectric ceramic, to fit in a body that's slightly bigger than iPhone 7 Plus.
Mi Mix is a design first product, hence expect other aspects of the phone to be average.

There is far less likelihood of me purchasing it due to poor camera performance as opposed to higher cost.

It is possible to improve its performance using a proper driver, we can only guess until we see a real review of the Mix. LeEco's phones have awesome specs but have horrible firmware - check Le Pro 3 and compare it to OnePlus 3 which has the exact same sensor.

yeah but from that review the oneplus doesn't look spectacular as well, unless you're talking about some after market drivers that boosted oneplus even further? Also is there any info on the panel itself? viewing angles, sharpness, colors etc. FHD on that size of a screen is a bit low i'd say. it might be what kills it for me, coming from note 4
Well, I'm out.
Could forgive an OmniVision for the selfie camera.
Rear camera? No way. They're total crap and completely inadequate for a device of this cost and design.
Check it out from 1:30 onwards.
That doesn't look too good unfortunately. And the Mi Note 2 isn't that much better either as I'd have hoped. Hopefully Huawei releases something better next week with CM support (one can dream).

The Mi Note 2 has a better sensor than the iPhone, and by some margin. Exposure control just looked poor ... but then exposure control on the front camera was much, much worse on the iPhone than the Mix.
But the Mix's rear camera sensor is **** ... there's no two ways about it. Huge amounts of noise, chromatic aberration, distortion and very poor detail resolution.

None of the Omnivision camera modules are really suitable for rear cameras on devices costing more than $200 in my view. As selfie cameras some of them are adequate.
I'm guessing Sharp more or less engineered the phone for Xiaomi, which wouldn't have been cheap, and the screen module etc would be extremely expensive ... so I guess they're trying to cut as many costs as they can elsewhere.
P.S. I was in Kaunas last year ... Moksha, a little Asian restaurant, was very pleasant
only one that doesn't care about the camera? I just wanna know if we will get custom Roms for this thing. It literally looks like my dream phone, can't for the life of me understand why it took Xiaomi to make something like this.

well people want to get an all around good experience. it is rather cheap in china, but the international resellers are blowing up the prices. so when the phone totals near the same price an s7 or s8 would cost, they expect similar quality

I was next to an iPhone 4 user video chatting with them using fring and their front facing camera is way better then our EVO's front camera. We were in the same low lighting right next to each other and his picture was light and crispy, seeing all his facial features as if we were in high lighting. On the other hand the EVO was all dark and I couldn't see any facial features at all. I always have to have it extra bright. Why is that? I thought our camera was better? Is there anyway to fix it? I hope, because I thought the EVO was was better than the Iphone4 in every way.

Um.. no. Its not better in every way. The 4 has better video recording, higher rez display, and arguably, is "sexier" ... did I mention its sheeple approved?
What our phones have over the iPhone 4 is Android, 4G, bigger display, a better carrier (in my opinion, having come from AT$T.) And the ability to make a god dammed phone call.
Im actually surpised you say the front cam is better as the EVO HAS A HIGHER RES FRONT CAM.

I am too. I always put my EVO over iPhones in every way. But when I finally sat down and played with one the only thing I did notice to be reverently better was the camera and touch sensitivity. My friend is a big Apple fan boy and he just got his iPhone4 in a couple days ago and he always try to compare his iPhone 4 to my EVO.
Resolution doesn't mean better quality.
So I don't even own an EVO, I'm still using my trusty HD2, but I came across this today and it's possibly the best thing I've ever seen... thought some people here might appreciate it

QFT more resolution just means more pixels, which means nothing if the sensor isnt larger.
im not sure what sensor chips both phones use, but be aware just because IT HAS MORE MP;S zomgmggew doesnt make it any better a camera.

Yeah it is a driver problem. HTC is just too lazy (understandble considering how Apple releases 1 phone a year, HTC 20+)
Evo has a higher end camera chip from the same manufacture as the iPhone.
That's funny every time I see it. Honestly though the video in general on my Evo kinda sucks, my hd always freezes and then the audio is way out of sync. Looks good if it doesn't freeze and my front facing camera is about as good as the web camera on my network. The wvga video is still pretty good for a phone though.

Mmmm... I'm not so sure this is true. I believe I saw that the Z2's camera was far better than the iphone 5s's camera. I don't know if there is a huge improvement with the 6, but I'm pretty sure Sony did a very good job. I love the camera on this phone. It works VERY well. It takes VERY good shots in low light, they even look like they're awesome pictures during the day. Check this one out in a low light shot.

I think it's damn fine for a camera phone and I don't know if Apple's could do any better, TBH.
Either way, both phones are very good phones, except for the bending that's happening on the 6+.

a recent photoshoot out, showed a 83 score for iphone 6 (both models) and 79 for S5 Z3 and Z2.
So it's really close, for the normal untrained eye you probably can not see the difference.
Now sony should wake up. They should start thinking how to improve their camera app. Though it is acceptable as of now but if apple can do it why can't sony to be the best in camera.

It showed that the Z3's so called camera low light improvements were not an upgrade, rather PR spin.

A 4 point difference isn't huge and as judging photos is always gonna be subjective I'd be surprised if some people didn't go the other way. TBH I'm surprised Apple haven't done better bearing in mind that, as I understand it, that the Z2 camera isn't a huge jump over the z1 camera.

I thought that Martinus was talking about real life shots comparisons between the Iphone 6 (or plus) vs. the Sony. All this benchmark test are really not meaningful IMHO, unless backed up by side-by-side comparison shoots and real life examples.
Thank you in any case,

The Sony Z2 camera for me is pretty good in the light, terrible at night (or in low light). I would not say it is the best camera
Talk to professional photographer and ask him how to set up your camera settings...
Then try
Camera is great, you just have to know how to use it...
AutoMOD is average, not bad but when you know how to use manual mod you can get incredible results.

I don't know what is the problem!
What have the Mega Pixels do with the image quality?
MegaPixels is just the size of the picture... that's it! I could have a camera with 3 megapixels and shoot better pictures than a camera of 30 MP...
The quality of the sensor and the lenses are the most important thing...
I love my Z2 camera but I've seen Iphone 5/5s shoot pictures (specially at night) that would be compared to a proper camera!!!
Nice to see Apple are being innovative and giving you the option of a DIY curved screen.
Here they did a test with most new phones including the Z5! Shame i cant link the photo's directly so you have to go to the link it self http://www.phonearena.com/news/First-Xperia-Z5-vs-iPhone-6-Plus-vs-S6-vs-Z3-vs-G4-camera-samples-comparison_id73408
The Z5 takes pretty awesome shots and its way better then the z3 camera. The colors look so much more correct and in some phones it beats the sgs6.
Edit:

the red on the iphone looks washed out or better said, the amount of light on the car is captured more on it. the z5 captures the real color from my perspective
In my opinion Z5 is better than Iphone 6+ and GS6, colors of the 2 is slightly saturated.
Regardless of color accuracy, the resolution increase still does not helps getting sharper images. There is too much noise reduction applied, especially compared to iPhone 6. Apple here does a decent job although I'd rather have much more noise and no NR applied in camera. Worst offender is LG, which applies an insane post-NR sharpening.
I think we should wait for production samples and hopefully some 3rd party app that can leverage better on this new sensor. Otherwise there is no real advantage against Samsung or Apple.
As for color accuracy, it really comes down to the app and how much processing is done. On my screen (which is calibrated, but it's not best quality panel) and to my eye Z5 has decent overall color rendition, but I prefer the G4 in the first picture (less punch but the overall colors are more accurate) and the iPhone in the third.
In the end, we are not yet at compact camera level - maybe next iteration (z6 or z7 or whatever they will call it). I'd really love to have an RX100 performance squeezed into a phone

Am I the only one seeing that low light photos look good on Note 5. Specially the example you gave, Note 5 has more details compared to Z5. Yea we all know that Samsung dose produce more warmer pics which makes the photo looks yellowish, but if you take a closer look the noise reduction is so aggressive in Z5.
View attachment 3476394
P.S: Ah no wonder you seem to mix up the two photos. Note 5 indeed do look better here.
Sony for some reason still cannot make a good camera. Note 5 does look much better in almost every situation.
Also look at the sky in that one pictre. Z5 completely burnt while Note 5 shows some nice detail
http://www.uberlin.co.uk/berlin-moments-september-7th-september-15th/
These pictures looks awesome. and yea it got lotta details too. We need further tests to see how it's done. Since they can always get it right with software.
New camera module absolutely promising. Specially colour accuracy.

Think its time you get some glasses bro. The first one and clearly the best low light photo is made with the Z5 not the note. Even if you zoom in on the billboard etc you see that the note blurs and has to much overexposed. But both are good camera's tho/.

I am a Sony Fan But i Must admit the samsung note 5 is killing sony camera what a poor detail in z5 i hope there is improvement in the last release
Yea Note 5 has a great camera indeed, but I am pretty sure this is related to Software, and eprice device doesn't have the latest camera UI that means it's not running on the latest build, so untill then we can't really say which is better.
But overall Sony has good colour accuracy when it's day-time, I hope it'll be fixed with updates. I really want is more control over the camera such as Manual shutter speed and raw. Hope to see more improvement before the phone's released.

Specially when it comes to Camera software they don't seem to be doing great.
I am always surprised that despite making good cameras and selling camera parts to other phone manufacturers, Sony phones have the worse cameras in the mobile phone industry. The Z3 camera is terrible relative to Apples and Samsungs and their previous phones were even worse. Hopefully they finally fix it with the Z5.
Wow....

This has been the biggest thing stopping me from ordering one. On paper, the camera should be pretty damned good. Reviews have been extremely mixed, but it seems that reviewers only use the CM camera app, which has always been somewhere between 'meh' and terrible.
How does this phone do with the Google camera or F-V5, or any of the other common third party apps. One would think that since the Z1 is one of the only lower priced phones with OIS, someone would actually care about the camera beyond CMs crappy software.

I made this comparison with the same picture, same time and both cameras.
I find the ICS camera one much more crispier, so I bought the pro version.
Here is the picture.

I'll try to make more tests in worst light conditions.

Is the camera really so bad? I don't mind a phone with a decent camera, but if it's so bad it's a deal breaker for me.

Well it's relative as my friend Einstein says!
Comparing it to my note 4, this camera is really weak!
Comparing it to my old nexus 4 it's fine!
It performs currently like an old 8mpx camera! I'm sure it can be improved with software!
You get what you pay for. As the guy above says it's relative. For the money it's super. A better camera app helps alot. Open Camera is good
this is one of the reason also that im not buying yet this device because of the camera quality though im not a selfie or camera guy. but im still considering a phone with good camera. hope Cyanogen improves the camera performance on this device.
I don't have any problem with camera it's ok not really good, If you are using Cynogen camera 10 i believe you will get much better clarity for the pictures...
That's true CameraNext Mod doing the job better quality but still not as we all want.

It's not bad. To have a reference, it's very similar to the OnePlus One.

Yes. Very similar.
Only different in video. No 2K video, but yes it has 60fps normal speed video

Alex from Exodus says he may be able to implement 4k recording as the hardware supports it, but he hasn't got enough donations to buy the device.

I just got mine from B&H today. And here is what I can tell from famous Leica lens. I never saw such kind of dust since Treo. Sign, Huawei even don't have a clean room...
They're actually Sony sensors but yeah unacceptable. Ask for a new unit.

It's frustrating but give it another chance.

Absolutely, it's a great device. Don't let this put you off.

Just get a return and a new one. I've seen this on all smartphones. While not very common it does happen.
Just curious, is it actually visible in photos? Either way, I'd still exchange.

I've tried looking, but haven't found out what IMX model sensors the phone is using. Do you happen to know, since you claim they are Sony?

I don't know if Leica makes mobile sensors... they might just have done the optics and image processing. At this point nobody seems to know.
Whatever they did, the camera is pretty horrible. I like the phone, but I'll be the first to admit the camera is the worst I've seen in any phone I've owned in the past three or four years. No sharpness, no detail.

Might have to do with the lighting in my house too. I don't take many pictures so I really don't care all that much.

Either you have faulty unit in your hands or then your batcave needs to have couple light bulbs replaced?
Personally I rate Mate 9 camera second in my list.
I've had S7 Edge and iPhone 7Plus and Mate 9 goes middle of those.

For information - most commonly when "famous" camera and optics brands borrow their names to phone and point-and-shoot makes, its just that - branding. They don't make the sensor and they don't make the lenses. They might have had a slight hand in the design process, i.e. the engineering side of it like drawing up the optical formula. It's not a quality stamp like an actual German made item.
Of course, that does not mean the camera is bad and the unit(s) in the Mate 9s seems pretty decent for this kind of device and definitely competitive. As a image maker by trade however, its obvious to me that it cannot compare to anything with a larger sensor quality wise. It's still a useful tool with creative potential.

Just do a google search...
