Photo quality - Google Pixel 3 XL Real Life Review

This thing is great. I tested it right pointing to the bright sunlight and still gets a great photo. Love it

Just dropping this here if it helps anybody. I've had the P3XL for about 6 months and I was happy with it BUT I was also curious about the Note10+. I had for 2 days and took it back lol. The note has a lot of things going for it however I consider myself a casual user. I value the camera too much. I took some photos of my 18mo old daughter and maaannnnn it's not even close. So if anybody is curious or debating between the PXL3 or the Note10+ and photos of your kids, pets or moving objects are of importance to you, go with the Pixel. Alot of YouTube reviewers only show comparisons of STILLS.

2 days is not enough to learn how to use it... Maybe you had to decide fast to return, but you missed something i think.

No, 2 days was enough for me to know. And I'm only speaking about point n shoot auto mode, my fault, should've been specific. In those 2 days I took a lot of pictures of my daughter (who refuses to sit still) and MOST pics were blurred(outside daytime, inside w/lights on, no lights, with selfie camera). I really did wanna keep it. Maybe for those that know how to use Pro mode*shrug*

I hear you, that's a problem with the software on note10/10+. From what i've seen so far it uses minimal ISO to reduce the grain, but then the shutter speed is not optimal.
In pro mode it would have been enough for you to lock speed outside to whatever is comfortable to get a sharp shot on a moving object or person (say, 1/250 for a test outside for example on your baby) and let ISO on AUTO (and all other settings AUTO as well). Outside day light most of the time AUTO mode uses ISO 50 and reduces shutter speed... which is great for landscapes and stills, but not for kids.

what is the replacement for ultra wide camera for pixel 3 xl

A pretty decent photo quality, however if you do not use the "Vivid colours" your images can appear quite washed out.
I am excited about this

Okay - article pumps up the phone... but then LOOK at the PHOTO sample v the iphone...... why is it that bad? I don't want to go near this phone, if this is its output. Who do we trust though? All reviewers saying it is amaaaaazing... Reminds my how I got sucked into my last huawei - Nexus 6P
The hundred or so (seemingly that amount) of youtubers who got the free trip top London and the early release, or the mainstream media? Or what?

Judging from the small images I would assume that the Mate 20 had bokeh-effect on, the flowers seems to be pretty sharp and focussed but the background looks delibarately out of focus.

I'm on 122 and there were camera improvements as well as new camera features. I've found night mode to be inconsistent but when it works is glorious!
Coming from the p20 pro to this the seflie camera on the mate is terrible looks like we gone back a few years on the front camera almost makes it unusable for me...
Hi all,
I am on my third day of HM20 Pro.
Love it all and the photos sure, great
Have you guys tried to take photos from the messaging apps? Signal, message, whatsapp?
I cannot believe the... Worst quality ever!! Is there any config I am missing?
Just try it.. Send an MMS via the messaging (not taking the photo before, but actually from within the app) and let me know....
About to pack my new phone and return it....
Thanks for your comment!
The camera is awesome... Maybe not as good as the P20 Pro though at night time
i just stuck a Vodafone sim in for a few seconds to get the 122 update - camera is definitely a bit better! not had a chance to test much yet though, but from the few I have taken shots are appearing less grainy now.

I feel with software it will beat the p20p. So far I'm satisfied as it's leaps better than my 10p I sold.

This phone camera is a complete missery!
I've switched from Samsung Galaxy S7 and completely disappointed. I feel like my S7 did better photos than Mate 20 Pro. Here is a list of issues (aside of Gluegate - which affected my phone).
Front camera:
- overexposes selfies in almost all conditions
- HDR mode is quirky and either doesn't make any difference or renders too flat results
- This silly toast "please hold camera steady whike your photo is sharpening" pops up almost all the time, regardless of light conditions
Rear camera
- HDR mode is just useless
- there is no "auto HDR" settings and switch HDR on is taking too many clicks
- and yet again... toast from hell "please hold camera steady whike your photo is sharpening"... THIS IS RIDICULOUS! Even in super bright conditions, where single lens camera would do perfectly well, Huawei asks me to hold my camera steady for 1 sec? Come on!
I really hope Huawei fixes all of that because it's a complete joke.
Good luck
From what i read it seems that Mate20pro is same as p20pro release and it will need few months before the software is actually as good as the hardware .
P20pro release was a disaster, photos looked like a cartoon .

Actually, I did some test with rear camera, multiframe stacking is always on in photo mode, so you have your auto HDR on all the time and that's probably why it asks to hold steady. I think it's merging 4 pictures.
The camera app is just too complicated, with different modes that do basically the same things.
It ends up being inconsistent when you leave everything on auto.
Sometimes it will be flat and washed out with no vignetting, other times it will have ton of constrast, oversatured colors and vignetting.
So now I did choose one mode and color parameter that consistently give results I like and stick with it.

Completly agree with this either the software is ruining it or just poor production ?
One big reason for getting the phone was the camera. I had the LG v30+ previously and I loved it for the ultrawide focal length. I'm glad that mate 20pro added this. I'm really enjoying the big sensor also. The dng files look great so far. The LG v30 always had grain/noise in the raw files at no matter what ISO. I'm not seeing the grain being so intrusive with the mate20pro

Anyone with kids have any experience with low light/indoor pics of their kids with the 8X? I've got 3 little menaces at home and most of my snaps are usually of them, inside. I need my phone to be able to handle that...
I've got an Honor 8 at the moment and it does quite well. I'm hoping this phone will be better than that. Anyone had any experience with both??
Cheers!
Anyone can own a camera, you simply hand over the cash and you now own it. You see plenty of incompetent photography samples in the myriad "reviews" seen around the internet. A competent photographer can get the best out of even a BASIC, not so amazing camera, as opposed to a completely clueless newcomer, whom you could hand a £10,000 Nikon to, and they'd create the most atrocious images you'd ever seen.
If you're taking "snaps" inside, of your children, it doesn't warrant any discussion really, if you have ANY smartphone and are taking "snaps", NO smartphone camera in existence can even DREAM of matching even the most basic dSLR. I own the Nikon D3400 - an "entry level" dSLR, but even as "entry level", it blows ALL the (many, many) smartphone cameras out of the water, into the stratosphere and up, out into space!
I own the 8X, it's a good camera... for a smartphone... but so what? Next year there'll be yet another "best everrrr" lineup of average to better smartphone cameras... but for now, the 8X is very nice indeed.

This is what I wanted to hear.
I use my D3200 for when I want a decent shot. So if this camera is acceptable then that's all I need. It seems better than the Honor 8 according to gsmarena camera comparison and I get pretty good snaps on that.
How's that huge 6.5" screen though??
Hello Since the new update ia pictures are not vivid I'm very disappointed because I love saturated pictures is there anyway to have vivid pictures again or not?
Photo quality is good compared to my previous Honor 5C and Honor 8.
For its price the camera (and software) is good. Overall quality is like between iphone 6s and 7. Definately workable. However in bad conditions like low light or weird lighting it has trouble to shoot sharp pictures or get its focus right. The night time mode is great for very low light though. Sharpness is definately its weakpoint but its very capable of shooting sharp pictures. I tend to use HDR mode mostly for better sharpness.
Image resolution is relatively high and better than older versions of Honor Phones. You can take out the photos from the printer and you won't really feel see the pixels getting burst or the blurred pic. I would probably give 4.5 out of 5.
The Honor 8X produces fantastic photos with the back and selfie camera.

So I don't have the phone yet (obviously), but I noticed in-store that the new camera app seems to use (or at least has the option to use) a "sweep" panorama now. In my rudimentary time at Verizon, it seemed to work well! I think they still have the traditional panorama shot options through a photosphere menu, but quite like before.
Had anyone exciting this yet, or see any reviews that cover it?!
If anyone cam post some jpeg & rae files taken together that would be awesome.
Even more awesomer would be the same shot taken with both p2 & p3
(Delete, wrong thread)
Heres a a few photos of my Father-in-law's koi pond at night. With a small spotlight on. Pretty good if you ask me
Hmm Tapatalk is working better for pictures I think. Here are a few others
Sent from my Pixel 3 using Tapatalk
2 pics: 1 low light (cropped from 4:3), 1 portrait
Is it just me or does it feel like the camera on the Pixel 3 lags a bit when you take a photo compared to the Pixel 2? Same scene, taking with the 3 has a slight pause before the circle shows up and shows the picture taking animation. The Pixel 2 is able to take 3 shots in the same duration...
I'm not as impressed as I am when I went from 5x to pixel first gen . I just went from pixel one to pixel 3 and I'm not getting what all the hype is about. The photos are slightly better, the performance is not noticeable, the sot is a half an hour more with the same usage. I should have gone to Huawei mate 20 or something else.
This is the best quality camera I've ever seen on a phone. Its too bad I'm going to have to return it, because the phone quality is garbage. The camera is what is making the decision really painful (I don't think any other phone will compare), but I need a working phone.
Hello, I just bought the p3xl but I'm not really happy whith photos in low light , especially on Moving subjects (my daughter)... Indeed it's not possible to adjust manually aperture or Time... Do you have solutions, or maybe do you think I would be more satisfied by p30 pro or p20 pro... ? Thanks

I am not sure you can take low light photos of moving subjects with any phone at the moment.
The pixel 3 is amazing in taking low light photos, but you do need some light, too
This is a nice upgrade over the pixel 1

Low light

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 Nokia 9 PureView'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.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
This is the area that I most confused about. They say that it lets 10x more light in than other phones, but the low light is not better than my Pixel 2 without Night Sight, let alone when I turn Night Sight on. It gets good results if you can do a longer exposure but in very low light to no light, this phone is not performing well for me.
Yup it couldn't beat an iPhone XS Max with just point and click. Might actually return this one. Darker grainier image is the Nokia. Lumia 1020 beats this one. Sorry.

If that's the best it can do in low light, I'm cancelling my pre-order.
Looking at photos, honestly it looks like the extra cameras are only used in raw shots. I think it's a really bad decision for that, but that's how it appears to me.
See the screenshots attached. Darker image is 'point and shoot'. Brighter image is raw of the same shot.
Edit for Google Drive link. DNG and original JPG are in there. Screenshots of both as well, in case you don't want it check the DNG file.

I was only interested in this phone for the camera. To see a 2 Lens iOS device beat this one is atrocious. A lumia 1020 till this day gives you thrills for the photos it takes.
Look at this picture of a cat taken in a lit room, the one with a warmer tone (first pic) is the one with the XS and is closer to how the room looks in real life. Both pics taken with flash.
This is going back. What a waste. Will wait for the Xperia 1.
Nokia, step up your game.

as some review have said, N9 is not really flattering for PnS without retouching, have you tried lightroom to get to the same color mood? Then try to compare, because the details in the cat's fur is good, but it needs to be retouched

First , your shooting with flash. Since it are 2 different phones your shooting with 2 different flashes, so your actually comparing the flash here. Shooting with different lighting (flash) makes it difficult to compare the images.
From what i can see in the cat pictures : the Nokia's flash is much brighter : look at the reflection on the rear wall, and the cat is brighter illuminated, on the XS photo the backlights are to bright and close to the cat for my taste , they give me a "get that light out of my face" feeling .
In this case it destroys the mood a bit , in other cases it wil be usefull if the subject is a bit farther away.
Also if you have auto whitebalance set to on then it should compensate for the yellow lights in the room and return a picture more adjusted to white light , so +1 for the nokia if that was the case.
Here's a sample comparison without flash.
I understand that with lightroom, and time spent, that one can probably get truly great photos out of this camera. But on the other hand, unlike the 1020, the pics out of the box are just meh. So in this case, its a good thing they made this a limited run, because most people will not go for this phone anyway. Also, they should have made it at least a 6.5 inch phone. The display is too small to truly appreciate the photos this thing can eventually take. The lag time for processing is excessive as one cannot edit a photo with a depth map unless one waits atleast 5-10 seconds.
Needless to say, the one that's darker is the Nokia.

to my eye, the iPhone one is more pleasing to the eye at first sight, due to the warm color balance and slightly upped saturation.
but if you look at the N9 one, the details and color of the cat fur is better preserved, as are the sharpness of the background, but maybe that's due to wrong focus.
So, if you want photos that looks good at first sight, go for iphone, but if you prefer details and dont mind doing post processing, keep the N9
Personally i post process everything i post anyway, so i prefer the N9

you might have a point there.
The multiple lenses and the ability to do post related work like blurring ect ... probably indicate that this is not really the best value for your money if your only going to do "point click and send" type of stuff.

The iphone image is objectively much worse. Much less detail, much more noise, much lower dynamic range. Colour balance can be changed easily in LR (which is on the phone).
However, something definitely does appear to be amiss with low light images. They should be far, far better than they are if they're really stacking images / data from all 5 sensors. The XS Max is far worse than Samsung or Huawei's latest offerings, or the product of GCam in low light.

I'm pleased with most of the pictures posted in this discussion because of the amount of information captured and the balanced exposure. I agree that they aren't always as immediately appealing as other phones which step in to tinker with the images. But at the same time I appreciate the potential gains from having your images available in this format.
Having the option of automated processing would be nice for when you don't have time to play around in Lightroom. And they may do this through software. But seeing as they have already stated that their target audience is camera enthusiasts then they might leave it alone.

I own a P20 Pro , and while the night mode is a nice gimmick it's nothing more than that.
I much rather have the quality of the images under normal light that this nokia produces. And not the over processed jpg's and the unusable raw files that i get from my P20 Pro. Nightmode or not.
Very good when using Raw.

Quite disappointed to be honest. Think I will send it back. Pictures with the OnePlus app are fuzzy, not sharp at all. Installed gcam, pictures are sharp but in low light color is lost, washed out, almost grayscale filter. Coming from p20 pro. That device also sometimes applies weird sharpening/smoothing, but mostly it's very good. Had high hopes as dxomark rated the OnePlus 7 above the p20 pro. Not!
Images are too punchy and water colored, hopefully it wil get fixed soon in updates

Happened to me with different xml files. Try with another one?
Just got my 7T today and took some pictures tonight with the pro feature in the camera app with nothing but a flimsy 5 dollar tripod lol. I have to say, it's a pretty darn good camera, and that's coming from a Pixel... Don't get me wrong, Pixel Cameras are amazing and the quality on the 7Ts are a bit washed out but It's still up there with the big boys.
Here's some of my pics from tonight. Keep in mind im in NYC and it's extremely hard to impossible to see the night sky like this.
A friend and I were playing around with our cameras the other day. We were in his basement and it was kind of weirdly lit. His new iphone the pictures he would take would be completely white like the room was normally lit. On the oneplus 7t the picture was a lot darker, the shadows were a lot more noticable some to an extreme point. I took another picture with it in night mode and it looked more like the iphones picture but things like fabric looked fuzzier than it should have. He then took a picture with his dslr camera... suprisingly it looked very similar to the picture that I had just taken from the oneplus 7t. When we compared all the pictures the white balance looked better on the oneplus 7t. It looked more like the white balance from the dslr. The iphones picture looked more on the yellow side imo. So take it with a grain of salt in that one situation.

After trying another version (7.0), same version as before did not work at all. Reboot solved the issue. I guess the 7.0 version messed up the camera hal.
Took several photos around a park in good lighting and also when the sun went down and I gotta say I wouldn't be too sad if I had to stick with this as my main camera(I have a note 10+ as well). Ive had all the Oneplus's since the 3t and they have come along ways. Looking forward to more improvements to nightscape and HDR.
Took some photos yesterday. It is not the best camera there, but you can still make some really good photos.
I definitely find photos a bit too saturated... especially that I come from using Pixel device where colours are usually more colder.

Too much yellow in photos
Using the latest 7.X gcam from the thread and I got some surprisingly good results. If a camera can get sharp results in mediocre lighting on a somewhat bouncy dog then I'm happy.
No edits straight out the camera btw
