Low light - Samsung Galaxy A7 (2018) Real Life Review

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 Samsung Galaxy A7 (2018)'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!

Should I be honest?
It`s crap., it`s really bad and I mean it. If you relying and need at least descent quality in night shots or very low light you will be disappointed.
But I bought it even though I knew that. The camera is not important to me as for nighttime shots I use my Canon anyway.
I guess should post some pictures...

Anyway, you photos show a far better quality then my HTC One M8 dual sim that (as far as I know now ) just died from a deadly battery exchange -
There seem to be two variants of crap (the HTC version and the Samsung version).

If you want 100% low light I can show you this one. The stars from my terrace at midnight (23:48)
I had to edit a little to make the clouds in the left corner more visible.
And yes, I live in a little town (under 10 000 people) so we have little light pollution. My home is in the far end next to few kilometers of forests and corn fields.

Interesting, when viewed in the forum here this picture look good, but if I download it on the phone and look at it with 100% brightness it seems I have fried the clouds, lol.

Note 3 camera produces dark, blurry pictures. Is this normal?

Before my N3 I was on an iPhone 5. The photos on the iPhone 5 were bright and sharp and vivid. The Note 3's photos however were dark and blurry, even when taken in bright indoors conditions. Is this normal?

Please clean your camera lens or check whether there is a protective plastic screen on your camera lens which needs to be removed !! :good:

Strange color issue with the camera in low light

I had been noticing something in my s5 camera when i open it in low light and i noticed a bit of orange hue on the top corners of the photo, both in the camera app and after taking it.
I assumed it was due to light coming of from part of the room or close to the tv, but i just took a picture covering the camera in auto mode and viewing it on the phone it shows that bit of orange tint on the corners, like light bleed.
Now assumed it was due to the high iso that the camera goes to in low light, but when viewing it on the computer, that dark image shows just a dark/black photo with no "light bleed". Then i thought it could be a issue with the screen, so i downloaded a screen test app and the dark/black color shows no problems.
Anyone experienced this or know what it is? Is due to the isocell technology? Is my camera defective? Or is it just something simple that im missing here?
I tried to take a photo to show you what im talking about. Its not perfect and its a bit grainy, but it shows a bit im talking about and its on those corners that you see a bit lighter on the screen that show that color.

Edit: ok, so i was just messing with the settings and with iso at 800, lower than what auto mode goes to, it doesn't seem to happen, so its the high iso. What i find strange is that the same photo with the lens covered shows like that on the phone screen but on the computer is just a black photo =/ also, i don't know where the camera gets that "light" since the lens was fully covered

Photo quality

Say "cheese", then rate this thread to express how photos taken with the Realme 5 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!
Bought this phone (4/64 GB) as Flipkart (India) mega festival sale.
Just received it & immediately one thing I can notice is the absence of Gyro-EIS !!
Camera isn't hardware stabilised.
I am on Color OS v6.0 / RMX1971EX_11_A.09

Camera App version is attach below
please share some pictures taken with Realme 5 Pro
For me the quality is superb.
quality is superb, 48MP mode is quite a gimmick tho, and macro lens quite useless since you can provide better close up picture with normal camera (unless you want to take a 5cm close up pict)
Taken this afternoon with gcam app with auxiliary cam support, I used wide and the quality is improved a lot sure there's a lot of digital noise here and there but the output is rich in details and looks natural compare to stock camera app.

Contrast (true blacks)

How well do you know your fifty shades of grey? Rate this thread to express how good the Samsung Galaxy S10 Lite's display contrast is. A higher rating indicates that black is true black, rather than a very dark gray.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
dark grey, note 9 is more black. s10 lite amoled is below note 9 amoled.
Bad amoled, like lcd
5
Thank you for your experiences but I do not understand why the blacks are bad. For one none of the review websites and youtubes mention this, secondly isnt amoled black not always pure black? Or do i have to think of the old plasma screens which are greenish, so these screens are not really black material-wise? Or does it turn greyish when you turn it on?
(Mine is being shipped as we speak so i cannot see it but its freaking me out, jk)
Mine is black enough 9/10
I now see what you mean, its dark grey not black. Bummer. So the panel material is different i guesss, when its off its the same.

Now that i have my own, its black, i dont look at it and think its not black.
Blackness of screen is very good but i guess it could be blacker compared to others, but for me no complaints at all. ( and i am quite the nagger when it comes to screens ) Maybe some have other screens but this one is great. EU model from Germany.

Save the Night | OPPO Find X5 | OPPO Ambassador

Sharing a few low-light sample shots from the OPPO Find X5!
Quite impressed with the shots from the Primary lens! Captures great shots with plenty of light and very low noise levels. With the inclusion of OIS, the camera can take better low-light shots and less shaky images.
Now the inclusion of OIS also helps a lot while shooting long exposures with Pro Mode. OIS eliminates minor shakes and helps you shoot 1-2 second long exposure images without even needing a tripod.
Here's a picture I shot handheld with Pro mode.

shot handheld on Pro mode with 1 sec shutter speed​
What surprised me the most is the ultrawide angle. The ultrawide angle on the X5 is probably the best one out of all the phones available. The pictures are very bright and detailed. Colours are quite natural and the highlights and shadows are on point.
picture shot with ultrawide angle camera​I also did notice that the low light shots take less time to capture. Generally on other phones you do have to hold still for about 2-3 sec for it to capture.
I'm very impressed with the low-light capabilities of the Find X5. A combination of great lens hardware including the Marisilicon X chip and superior software processing helps the Find X5 shine under low light conditions.
