Image not loading

shots in daylight are good, although if u zoom in too much there's some softness n waterpaint effect going on, probably a software issue, hope it gets fixed soon.
but in night this phone is simply outstanding, no phone in it's price bracket come even close to it, will upload a sample tomorrow, but the detail, noise level, lights, everything is perfect in its price range

Some shots I took(no edits) and they are definitely way better than 7 plus

This is a low light selfie,street light is yellow,no beauty mode ,just default settings

I have been using this device for a month and here are my findings on its cameras,
1. Back camera works superb in every aspect except the image size which is always to be 7 to 8 MB whether its day time shot or low light or shot in night. So image compressing is not as good as Nokia 7 Plus has.
2. Front Camera is a total flop. Yes I mean it. I take many selfies and they are always much grainy (in all conditions) with and without beauty modes. I don't think so Nokia put a really 20MP sensory at the front instead from the images quality it looks like a 5 MP sensor. Even the Gcam port shows it as 5 MP sensor. Again Nokia 7 Plus take very very great selfies without any filters or 3rd party camera app.
I upgraded from Nokia 7 Plus but after one month I realized That Nokia 7 Plus is far more better than Nokia 8.1 with respect to Cameras and image quality/size.

Just FYI, number of megapixels has nothing to do with image quality, it's just the size of the image. Gcam takes a 5 Mpix photo with any 5+ Mpix front facing camera because it works that way.

where is photo ?

Photos off the selfie cam are a bit rubbish, way too sharp and often exposed badly. Photos from the rear camera are fine (if a touch too sharp for my liking), i have found it works much better turning the AI detection off, it seems a bit thick for an AI and often just makes everything really blue. Low light performance is very good (coming from a Nokia 8), you do get some loss of detail once the ISO ramps up but that is all the processing to get rid of the noise, on the bright side at least you get a photo and not a blurry mess like with the Nokia 8. I tried a Pixel 2 with nightsight against the Nokia 8.1 and to be honest the pixel wasn't that much better at all when the scene was very dark, it was better but not "oh wow" better.

That's because the front camera uses pixel binning.

Just to add i have been comparing the Nokia 8.1 low light photos to some taken with a Galaxy S9 and the Nokia 8.1 makes a better job of it from what i have seen.

Xz2 compact vs Sirocco
N8 is used with Gcam. Both is on Auto mode. Without bettering.
And here with updatet Nokia Camera.
https://photos.app.goo.gl/QnkGuvW28xFAnJ6G8
I come to Sirocco from a long line of Xperia`s. I can say that the camera is extremely disappointing on Sirocco. Very bad camera, it is impossible to take a clear photo if you even just move a little. Also the processing is horrible or completely missing (i was expecting a lot more from a pure android).

I had any flagship Xperia in last years. Now have Xz2 compact. I compare cameras every day. Nokia with Google cam and last updated Nokia cam is better than Sony. In daylight better colors. In low light better detailing. In low light for landscapes must not use flash.

Are you sure? Maybe you testing on a tripod?
Before this i had a Z5c and it was a lot better, especially in low light. Nokia has to much noise (especially in low light) and lacks details (it is very evident if you zoom in a photo).
But the worst part, it has almost no stabilization, witch in a day to day use (without tripods, ideal lighting.....) by a average user with average knowledge in photography it outputs crappy photos, distorted, unfocused. This is why i call it bad (as most users that do). The sensor itself might be good, but no OIS and bad software combined with a bootloader impossible to be unlocked (so no custom software or proper ports of apps like camera with advanced processing algorithms for the exact hardware) will result in a very expensive (flagship) brick.
So, to resume all the above : Sony is better than Nokia in almost every way (the only exception is the design, the only reason i bought the Sirocco).
Here 2 posts upper I had posted comprasion between xz2c and Sirocco. Have pics in twilight and in total dark. For me Nokia(with Google cam app) is equal to Sony . I have and S8 too. S8 overexposed night shots and and I dont like that. Have you ever tryed Google camera app?

I`m using a Gcam port for MI6. It works a lot better than the stock, and it does some pretty good photos, but only with the HDR+ enhanced mode. The disadvantage is that this port cannot use the second camera (the telephoto one).
If the bootloader could be unlocked and with the complete source code, someone could make a good Gcam port for this phone.
P.s. : Nokia 8 has a very different camera comparing to Nokia 8 Sirocco edition. The N8 has a secondary monochrome camera and it has OIS. N8s does not have OIS and the secondary camera is for telephoto only.
So basically the N8 has a much better camera comparing to the N8s, and the photos should be a lot better, comparable to a Sony flagship.
Im using Pixel port Gcam version. And i think that with any ports second camera didnt works.

Now that the bootloader is unlocked for Nokia 8. Let's hope that they unlock it for Nokia 8 Sirocco as well. And we might see a really good Gcam port that uses both the cameras on the back cause Nokia Camera app is really bad. I don't think they will get it right for a long time. Gcam is far far ahead of them. I don't know how things work around there but maybe they can collaborate with Google to work on more enhanced camera app. I'm just blaberring here.

And it is their right, as their own phones (XL) ship ONLY with Snapdragons.

so that is new.. thought its a bug.. but thats the benefit of autmation to go into protrait mode.. if the bokeh is not active automatically?
So far I'm pretty impressed with the quality of pictures that the phone takes. Coming from Samsung Note 9, I was worried I waste my money on the hype on the this phone, I didn't. The low light picture quality is amazing as well as the dedicated night mode. I've only had the phone two days, and it's the 128 gb version, I can already say I will need a memory card. I love catching images of just about anything, and this camera fits the bill. I will post some shots later today. The longer I have the phone and really get a feel for the camera is capable of doing, I'll post a review.
Here's a picture of a grasshopper I took yesterday. This was with telephoto option.

i made a comparison between Mi 8 And Mi 9 se Camera
it,s obvious that mi 9 se have better camera either main camera or zoom lens
mi9 se ultra-wide lens is not that good but i think it gets better with software improvement and when google camera will be available for ultra wide lens
all photos taken with AI on and HDR off
HDR in Mi 9 se make photos worse but i guess it should get fixed in the future update

here is more camera sample:

one thing that i don't understand is that zoom lens is 8 MP but image output is 12 MP!!

Hi daniyal62, have you tried GCam on Mi9 SE? I'm thinking of buying it but I have some doubts about the quality of the camera (I now have a Nexus 6P which does great shots in any condition) and judging by your shots it could improve with the GCam.

Thanks for the effort appreciate it!
I have Mi 9 SE since it became available in EU, April. There are some small things which bother me. One of them is camera. I tried latest gcam but it crashes and can't be used normally. I found that camera is worst in artificial lighting conditions. Both, main and selfie camera.
I visited Samsung brand store last week and tried to make selfies with almost all of their latest models. What surprised me is that selfies were better also on low budget Samsung phones compared to those I made with my Mi 9 SE in the same room under the same conditions. Room has lights on the ceiling and that was the biggest problem for Mi 9 SE - photos were foggy. Unfortunately I didn't save photos to show you examples.
The same problem occurred with main camera. I have one photo made by my phone, even Night mode was enabled while making that photo. You can see what I'm complaining about: drive.google.com/open?id=1-VvaDb8AQHGUKa5DVWNdEq3AfUsLkkSU
How does your phones act? Is there way to fix that problem?
My photos are Foggy too

I would not buy this phone if Gcam did not exist.
With Gcam this phone takes at least better pics than iPhone X.
Also it really depends which Gcam you use and which settings you prefer.

Indeed, with the Urnyx 7.3 Gcam and the bufferfix flashed in TWRP, the results are much better than Stock Xiaomi Camera.
Google really makes wonders at treating the picture quality, whereas Xiaomi sucks at it, no details in the pics, strange colors and white balance. The hardware is good but poorly used.
The results would even be better with EIS, but for a 300€ phone, the results are already pretty good with Gcam

Those are not bad at all. Asus seems to be taking mobile stuff a bit more seriously now, so hoping the app - or GCam - improves things.

			
				
Here are two long exposure night shots of the sky on a moonless night (single images, no alterations). First one is 16s exposure at iso800 and second one is 16s at iso1600. Main camera is able to do up iso3200 and up to 32s exposures but I noticed slight star trails starting at 20s

Wow, those came out better than I would've expected. Then again, I'm use to my V20, which looks bad at anything above ISO 400. I'm surprised you started to get star trails with that focal length too. Get a handful of those in a row and that could make for a good composite with long trails.

Yeah the star trails weren't really that bad, more like just not pin point stars anymore. Here is a photo at 20s and iso800. When zoomed in you can see very slight trails.
Edit: this was also taken on a different night and the moon was just coming out if I recall correctly.

Not effing bad for a phone, ISO 800 looks ok, the 1600 not so much ahah but it's not a reflex after all
Coming from a Pixel 2XL, i REALLY miss the ois ...
Daylight photos are fine but low light is junk. Garbage would be too kind to describe it. The ONLY thing wrong with the phone. It is still my phone off the year though... And I've used them all.
Photos below comparing low light pixel 4xl and pixel 3xl to it. Daylight (pixels first in each collage) was good but not premium. Colours a bit muted.
Asus need to really do something about the camera quality. It's a premium priced product (although accessories included here in Australia for $1699aud) with a mid range camera (although the pixel 3a kills it).
Agreed, coming from many years of Samsung phones the camera is straight up trash !
You can't depend on it and in most cases i am not in a bright sunny environment but indoors, cloudy environment, etc.
Gcam mods kinda work but i find them to be kinda slow and therefore i lose the moment to capture a moment quite often.
Asus really NEED to spend serious time on this after the Android 10 release and come out with a MAJOR camera update.
Love pretty much everything else of the phone but the camera is a real let down and should not have been released this way.

Great Question, i have been wondering about this myself.
Tried both but i have not really seen which is better due to the camera not really being consistent.

The camera is the weakpoint of this phone. For the price you pay for it, I would have expected a much more decent camera.
Attached photo was done in a bright room but you can clearly see that the noise is present and the details of the wooden floor disappear.

I know it's not fair to compare it to a phone that costs the same as almost two s10 lite phones but I'm guessing that the SE 2020 which is on the same level will beat it.
The screen is nice though ...
Honestly fine.
I dont know why people gave this a low rating. I feel like people are expecting to much from Phone camera's.
For an average human being that takes a pics for memories or casual photo albums its more than fine. Enough options to choose from.
I do miss the lack of tap to focus, unless i missed it somewhere in the settings.
Hi people,
The cams are ok in good light situations i think for the price of the phone!
Only in low light situations it will have not so good performance. The aperture is only 2.0 so for that aperture is not so strange. Try to get as much as light as possible and your photo's will be ok!
I have a question, is this camera able to take RAW photos? And can you use a third party app to change the shutter speed?

It's a reaaaally huge difference dude! I am disappointed, I was thinking to get the lite for me, maybe not after see that pics.
One area that the camera impressed with was digital zoom (8x). Daylight pictures from 20 feet away were good. Guess that's one advantage of a high megapixel count.

Edit:
Now that i have the phone i think its very disappointing, can't make sharp pictures. Whatever camera app i use, zoomed in to the picture its not sharp, compared with ipad pro 2017. Everything is soft. People complain about it allot with s10 series. I didnt expect miracles from this phone but it is just ridiculous if every photo is to soft.
