Good lord I hope that's with the telephoto lens
Quite impressed with low light performance. Took this at the weekend at the back on a dark cinema whilst waiting for the trailers to start. Auto mode, no flash, no editing.

Wow, that looks amazing. I just got the Note 8 too but I haven't had a chance to do low-light yet.
By far, the best camera I've ever owned.
Just need to find a big-ass spider so I can post some examples.

that's an awesome background/screensaver.
I'm aware that during low light the images will appear grainy or noisy, but I can see the grain even in medium light condition. Image is set at 4.3 ratio highest bit rate for pics.

How about wide color
So, what is the use of a wide color gamut capable display if the camera still shoots sRGB jpg?! I have not found any info on the color space profile of Note 8 jpegs and videos, can anyone chime in?

Now, this is by far not the best *quality* photos, but it does show off the functionality quite well. I took this photo of a room in my apartment with absolutely no lights on other than some light leaking into the hallway behind me from a neighboring room, and a pure red heat lamp for a tank (pictured). I went full manual, mounted the camera with some objects on a table, and set it to a 10 second shutter, thinking that I wouldn't be able to pull off holding it by hand. Then I held it by hand. These are the two photos I got (one braced on a table, one by hand) with a 10 second shutter in a DARK room (the braced one is zoomed in).
Here's a shot of that same room from out in the hallway where there's a little light (so you can see about how dark it is).
What happened to the scalable function between 0-100% when using photo filters like Vignette and Stardust etfc? Gone?

Mine to even in really good lighting, using highest resolution.
Few observations after a month of use:
Picture quality overall is great, however the stock app tends to overblow the highlights in high contrast scenes. This is the effect of the small sensor size and it's prominent on all cellphones, however both Pixel 2 and iPhone X I've tested don't have that issue. However, installing and using the Google camera port helps the issue dramatically, so it's the HDR algorithm employed in the stock app, not the actual sensor.
Stock camera app is, however, both faster and more reliable in terms of snapping every day photos. Furthermore stock app has marginally less noise than Google Camera, but it also captures marginally less details. Stock camera also has less saturation and sharper gradients than Google Camera, likely a product of the algorithm as well.
The telephoto camera is decidedly worse than the wide angle one, even in bright light. You're trading off the dynamic range for zoom, and it's not just the difference in the lenses.
Lightroom HDR raw files (40mb 3.2MP image that contains 10 bit of colour) are mind-blowing. As an owner of full-frame Canon 6D I was blown away by the colour retention in Lightroom Camera app. On a DSLR you'd absolutely have to use bracketing to get those colours (although you'd get a 20 MP image), it's very impressive that a cellphone can do that. If only it shot out a 12 MP raw file.
Overall Note 8 has a very versatile camera with awesome picture quality, but certain scenes require he use of Google Camera for HDR+ algorithm to get the best results.

Good.
Colors is natural.
Good, but not so good compared to the Nexus 5X. The photo tends to be a little to dark in the mid-tones, and does not seem to be very sharp.
I think the camera really stinks.
The auto focus is slow, and taking pictures indoors is a waste of time.
Capturing anything moving is hopeless.
Came from a Galaxy S7, and compared to the old Samsung , the Nokia 8 falls apart at least at the camera.
I tried the google camera yesterday and it seems to do a better job than Nokia stock camera. Pictures are sharper and heaps better with auto HDR+ always on.
What settings do you have in goole cam?
Google camera hdr+
Can someone please put few images they shot? (like the park, outdoors on nice weather etc)
There
In low light
Some pictures taken with google camera and some opencamera.
See how google camera app makes wierd stripes on left side of picture.
Awesome thanks for the images, I am not really impressed with them :/, I hopped for something on par with the latest Lumia's dang, well hoping for a miracle (either an update, or Nokia 9) ^^.
I think its compressed quite bit when uploading, i noticed that pics are not same quality.
Looks better when i move it to pc.

Can you please show a very low light photo with long shutter speed? Thanks mate for other photos.
Here you go, dont know why shutter speed did not go longer.
Better one...
Wierd, cant go exposure +1 seconds.
Maybe update will fix that.
Is the long shutter speed hardware limited?
Have a Galxy s6 right now. In a comparison between the Galaxy S6 and the Nokia 8 what would be better in the camera department
If the Indian version had 6GB RAM i would have gotten the phone immediately.
I think i cannot give neutral response for that...i say nokia, as you can see.
The native camera app is not so good but maybe oreo update will fix that i hope.
When using google camera port or opencamera the images are better than honor 8.
2 pics
1 with opencamera
2 google hdr+ zsl

Dx0mark the new king os smartphones, s9 plus scoring 99 points
This post has user-made pics sample as well https://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/81z7hx/a_review_of_galaxy_s9/
I notice the F1.5 does improve quality significantly in low light, though I'm not sure if that's enough for people to be convinced. you only see the difference if you zoom in and pixel peep.
I just started an youtube channel focused on camera test and reviews, and my first upload is a low light test between my 2 phones: Galaxy S9 and Mate 10 Pro. I will sell one of the phones to keep new ones comming for new reviews. So wich one would you choose? (daylight review comming soon)

Just one economy bulb 15W (equivalent to a 40-60w regular bulb) bulb above my desk. The other light is coming from the monitor with an YouTube video opened in full screen. The picture was made in auto mode, and has no additional editing. I mention that the picture was taken in the ultra wide mode 18.5:9 f/1.5 .
Good quality :good::good:
I have not had a chance to try the Camera because I just got the phone a few days ago .
The phone camera that I thought was sharpest was Note 4 and those sensors with 16 megapixels as far as trying to use it like a Camera ....everyone seems obsessed with the low light thing but I think despite the larger pixels ...not quite as sharp for landscape or Architectural shots...
What do you think ?
I noticed it averages 4 here...
Audio quality is 5 , best I have heard on a phone and I have been waiting for speakers like this since early cells.

Some amateur shots from me
RAW photo quality doesn't seem as good quality as my S7, taken quite a few to compare and they seem to lose their detail much sooner than the S7
IMHO I think the detail in the photos is amazing.
The camera "Auto" setting and what it does to some of the colors and/or lighting is atrocious. Medium light or mixed light sources are just horrible. The camera does not know what to do and the white balance is really bad. It is worse with LED lighting. I think it may be due to the different temperatures of LED lights. I use "Pro" indoors and I typically set my white balance with the "Kelvin" slider vs the generic lightbulb settings.
S9's camera is AWESOME ! ?
Compared to my LG G4, I think the S9 has a tendency to slightly overexpose normal photos, even with HDR enabled. I find I constantly adjust the EV compensation (dragging the slider after tapping to focus).
As a point-and-shoot camera, it's surprisingly versatile and copes fairly well. The "Pro" mode UI has absolutely tiny buttons though for fairly important things (like toggling the apertures, autofocus or white balance modes) which I wish were bigger.
Here's a bunch of photos I've taken as representative samples. A handful were taken in pro mode (notably the latter London shots) and there's a RAW and JPEG for comparison. The S9's JPEG output is massively smoothed compare to the RAW original (and has some issues with dark areas of moderate contrast, like clouds in the city skyline turning into a blocky mess). Bizarrely, the DNG is almost half the file size of the JPEG version yet looks much better, even with sensor noise.

The camera is not consistent, some pics look amazing mostly and other are very grainy and not sharp, look out of focus, regardless of the lighting conditions compare the pics to the ones taken on my S9+ and those are better than my Fold's. Can anyone share their experience with the camera?

I haven't used the camera often enough to say "often", I just walked around the house mid-day taking pictures to test the camera, and several of them were out of focus. I did some testing yesterday with "A Better Camera" and got perfect results.

for some reason, samsung's software is lowering the shutter speed, instead of increasing the ISO, so in turn, will usually result in a blurry photo...
there have been others that say using the Pro mode with everything on Auto is a better solution.
unfortunately, pro mode is not available on the front facing and wide angle cameras.
pretty disappointing performance on the cameras really.
£2k phone with that bad picture quality is unbelievable.
I hope they will solve this with next update as camera is useless in my opinion.

I'm not a great photographer but the photos I've taken have been ok. The main complaint I have is how badly the lens skews the image on the edges. It's pretty bad.
I wish the world was in a better state and I wasn't sick so I could take more pic samples.
Wish this had spot metering. But LG as usual has had software that takes away from a good camera.
I love the results when using in the manual mode. The histogram is a big plus.
My main complaint is even upright my photos seem to end up being rotated.
LG Software still struggling "mosaic" post-production below average light condition, but night mode is quite good! Not app, just effects. Right now I'm testing some Gcam distros, from yesterday - UltraCVM prepared for Mi 9T (both of them works with 64mpx sensors).
Is there anyway to use 3d photos like on Facebook?
The main reason for the V60 is awesome manual photo/video controls. The phone does well for auto modes in good lighting, but they are still over aggressive with noise reduction that causes the water color effect (also apparent in the V20 I had prior, so this just how LG wants it). HDR works well, but doesn't always get the white balance right and wish I could use it while also having some manual control. I also wish they would've went with a straight up 16MP main sensor. Shooting at 64MP is no better than the binned 16MP option, and often worse.
I did "stress test" the camera the other day. I prefer long exposure photos and these were from a couple nights ago. I was limited on time and location, so pardon the motion blur in the light painting photos. But still... Let's see Gcam do this!
Couldn't you tell what sensor V60 camera is based on? Thnx
64 MP shots in bright outdoor settings are amazing on this phone. Definitely an underrated camera by most reviewers imo.
Random shots + Basic Snapseed correction.

So, I reverted the photo app to ver.7.x.x and even in poor lighting conditions(cloudy, 1/2 an hour to sunset) the pics look better than w/ the latest version.(better details on rocks surface, tree trunks etc...)

what you did not like in v.8? I saw the HDR is always on (on my previous Pixel 3a XL it was a choice)..
I thought the pictures were lacking sharpness and contrast, well it's an arbitrary, subjective opinion, but i think the pics look better after switching the app to older version.

Here's a couple photos of the jupiter/saturn conjunction the other night. I turned on night mode, the camera turned on astrophotography mode automatically. I had the phone resting against the car spoiler during the one minute exposure to keep it as stable as possible.

Missed the conjunction due to cloudy nights, got Orion/Betelgeuse tonight:

Hello folks!
is there the lens blur option in Google Camera stock?
i had it in my glorious Nexus5x with a mod version
