Time to take picture (camera launch speed) - Nokia 9 PureView Real Life Review

There! Something just happened! Did you take a picture of it? Rate this thread to express how fast the Nokia 9 PureView can go from "zero to picture". A higher rating indicates that launching the camera app and taking a photo is extremely fast such that you never miss an important moment, like when your cat attacks the couch again.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!

I'm really interested into the shooting performance.
So any "final version" user please let us know how big the delay is between shoots when shooting a series of Photos.
Let's hope it's minimal!

From what I've read, the shots are processed in the background and there isn't any delay in taking the next shot. I'm curious about the buffer tho.

Read this too the other day. Let's hope the buffer is large enough to cover 4-5 shoots.
I guess processing will take 4 - 8 seconds per picture. This would not surprise me.

The processing time differs based on the scene, and which settings are active. I've had some outside shots take between 15-20 seconds to process, and photos with less detail involved only take 3-5 seconds.
With everything active, there's about a half-second delay between shots. Even if you keep tapping the button, it won't take another shot immediately. I haven't noticed any limit on total number able to be processed at once though. I think the most I had at once was 11.

Thanks for the feedback. Am I guessing correct that this was on a pre series model?
Half a second delay is acceptable, I guess that's normal.

Not sure what you mean by 'pre series'. I've had mine since March 1. It's the retail version.

Ok, thought you got your hands on a version given to press or testers.
Thanks for clarification

So, I’ve purchased the Nokia 9 from and downloaded a compatible pixel 3 camera mod… Question, do all five-camera work as one on third party camera applications as well, night scape using five camera lenses awesome.

I can't answer for sure, but I highly doubt it. I think the app has been customized to use all 5 together and stitch the image together when all the settings are enabled. Since you can disable the extra stuff, I imagine it would only use the main 2 cameras when using a third party app. Seems like it's software controlled.

Then that is good in my view because I can use the Nokia camera app to access all five cameras for pro photos and GCAM using the 2 RGB cameras for great point – shoot photos (like pixel 3 xl)

Could also be, that you are using just one Camera.

HMD seem to have released an Camera Update to improve Camera Speed.

Can you share the link to the APK of the pixel camera mod you are using? Haven't been able to run one that doesn't force quit every time.

Got the working apk from Nokia Power User
https://nokiapoweruser.com/google-camera-apk-download-for-nokia-smartphones/
Direct Link To One I'm using
https://www.mediafire.com/file/ny6ulpiqih18ulg/Nokia_8.1_fully_working.apk/file

I believe the long processing for the photos is a Nokia app bug, because i was able to find a workaround. This issue appeared on my Microsoft nokia as well. The work around i found to get them processed immediately is after you take your pictures, create a new text message or send yourself a text message, and add the pictures you just took to the text message. You dont have to send the text message and you dont have to add them all, just one that is processing. then you can go back in photos and it will be done processing.

No, the speed didn't get any better than before (maybe slightly, but not enough to really care/notice). They're supposed to be releasing another update soon. Honestly though, I doubt there's too much they can do about the picture processing time. With all the work going on in the background, I don't think they'll be able to speed it up much.
One thing I do hope they address though is the killing of background apps. If you take a picture with all the data turned on (RAW, depth, etc...), it seems to kill most background apps to free up space to process. That seems like overkill to me. Maybe free up a little space, but it seems overly aggressive.

Bummer, well I will wait a bit till its fully available here and test it at MediaMarkt.
I was really hoping for a flagship AndroidOne. But an unusable FP and a crapy Cam isn't worth the price.
Sadly there are zero alternatives....

Anyway, this does mean that there are no big changes, doesn't it?
The shortcuts of walkman in The lockscreen sometimes doesnt work.
The camera app seems faster and The pictures have less ISO in The auto Mode than before. Só in general in low Light they seem better

But i think bleeding is still there after update - in some special conditions as before.
Also, starting camera with hardware key from deepsleep also didn´t work
For me the most noticeable improvement is that clear audio and other sound enhancements work in spotify. At last. I also like the new status and notification bar a lot.Other thing I noticed is more free ram. Overall I am quite delighted with it so far.

Both Auto+ and manual, Noise levels have been tuned down, which in term suggests lower ISO.

Have to agree. A quick play with the camera suggests that the superior auto especially has been improved; The ISO seems to be getting selected a little more conservatively so much lower noise.
KitKat update in general seems very nice, but thats off-topic for this thread.

Camera 2.0 Available

It looks like Camera 2.0 is starting to roll out in the What's New app. I had to forcibly refresh mine from the menu to get it to show up. It's now the same UI that we saw in the IFA videos.
Initial impressions:
- It's noticeably faster to load up on a cold boot
- It's loads even faster after the first load
- With the phone off, I can press the camera shutter button and load the app in 1 second
- The UI is more responsive now
- Quality seems a tad bit better in low light but I'll have to take more photos to confirm

I've got it too, so far its fast than before, nice to have a changed UI, will need to take more snaps to confirm on the quality of pics.
Hmm, I had it show up, download and install. Opened the camera and it was the same. Checked the app and it still says 1.0 what the?
Solutions anyone?
You really have to open whatsnew several time to get this to work, but it suddenly updated and boom, xperiance is alot better than before! Nice update!

Just downloaded and startup time seems blazingly fast compared to the old app and the one on the Z3c. That was from a cold start and using it after I'd been browsing for a few minutes. Will see how it fares across a whole day...
All sorted, love the new UI. My camera launches quick, about half to 1 second from cold and instantly after closing and relaunching.
How do you launch the camera? With button or with icon camera?

Much faster in both cases. With button takes like 1-1.5 seconds. With icon, takes <1 second

That's really odd - how fast is the camera on the second start?
Maybe some other process is slowing the camera down. I disabled the "Photo Analyzer Service" as other XDA users had said it cause camera performance issues on earlier Z phones. The only thing I can suggest is that you try that if you haven't already.
In the second start is faster. Disabling photo analyzer don't fix the problem

I see huge improvement to previous Camera app. Number of details increased and when zooming in pictures does not loose on quality
Yes the new camera app is much faster. But i was hopping for a better manual mode too, like raw support. We'll see, maybe with the marshmallow update.
Like shutter speed control, with it the camera would be totaly perfect.

Min/Max Shutter speed

Can someone please explain me the minimum and maximum shutter speed of the Nexus 6P in third party apps?
I have a OnePlus 2 at the moment and I can take up to 30 seconds of long exposure, before with my OnePlus 1 even 60 seconds.
Is this something I can find in the Nexus 6P through a third party camera app?
A detailed explanation would be appreciated.
Hi. Please Download Proshot camera app or Manual camera app. Proshot even has a bulb mode, not so impressive though. I have not noticed anything like 30 seconds or more. Have not tried other camera apps.

On manual camera the slowest shutter speed is 1/5. I don't see why anyone would need a 30 second exposure on a phone. That lobe of an exposure would only be useful on a DSLR in very select situations.

1/5 is really sad. I expected more, can this be fixed by software you think?
I disagree with your opinion. Slow shutter on the Oneplus One and Two is awesome (see pics below both taken with the One). Especially with a good sensor. And I am in situations where I need it a lot.

The sensor in the 6P would likely take in too much light given the pixel size therefore making the pictures look bad. If I use a 5 second exposure on my DSLR in a situation like the ones you posted it would be a white picture. The sensor size is important to consider (especially when its wide open). I can't definitively say whether or not the 6P will do the same, but it does have a large senor/pixel size for a phone.

True but I think the Nexus 6p could benefit from 1-5 seconds exposures instead of maximum 1/5. You think this can be solved in software or is it hardware limit of the sensor?
Bulb would be interesting too...

It's a software limitation; I tested the other camera app and it only let's me go down to .2s (1/5s) so google likely did that for a reason.

If that's really the make/break factor then you should reconsider owning a phone. It's a great device and just because you can't take a 30s picture doesn't mean its a bad phone. I find it absurd that such a nominal feature is the tipping point for people but its not my money to spend.
I don't use my phone as my primary camera (I have a DSLR for that), so a trivial software feature that could likely be added in isn't a big deal. Software limitations are easier to overcome than hardware ones, but I recommend you reconsider why you want the phone if that is a key factor. I don't know how many long exposure night pictures you take, but it must be a significant amount to be that big of a factor. The limitation is likely in place because of how large the sensor/pixels are as I mentioned. The camera takes in a lot of light and having a long exposure (even 1/5s) is very bright at night, and can capture great pictures.
I'm in no way trying to be rude about it (I know the comments above might suggest that), but I don't think a small software limitation should steer people away from an excellent phone. I don't use 3rd party camera apps despite owning a handful of them because the stock one takes the best pictures in my opinion. I will try a few other camera apps that I own, but I don't think it will be beneficial to use a long exposure even if its enabled via a software tweak.

Thanks for explaining. I don't take your comments as rude but rather learnful. I approach my phone as the ultimate Swiss army knife. I take pictures with it, I stream my media from home to anywhere in the world, it holds my whole online life in the cloud, make payments without it and many other things. Until now I've been able to postpone buying a separate camera. First I owned Galaxy S1 then S2, then OnePlus 1 and now 2. These cameras are all great if you know what you are doing. The OnePlus really made it happen thanks to heavy community development and support, and especially camera tweaks. I was hoping to find this in the Nexus as well. Apparently not (yet). But I'm turning to Nexus anyway because of great software support and features. I hope my camera tests can postpone the need for buying a separate camera for a while...

I understand where you're coming from now, and I appreciate the explanation. I tend to speak rather bluntly which some people take the wrong way. I went from the S3>Note 3>G3>Nexus 6, Zenfone2, Moto X 2014 PE, S5>Nrcuw 6P. I've owned more phones than I listed, but that's a good summary. I feel the camera on the 6P is leaps and bounds better than any of the other ones including the Nexus 6 which has the same sensor as the OP1. I think a software tweak is certainly possible if you find a developer willing to take a look at it. I really can't see myself using a phone as my primary camera even though it takes great pictures; there are times where a phone will never work because its limited by several factors. If you like the phone give it a try because you can always send it back within 14 days (google store orders) or 30 days for Amazon orders. The worst that could happen is you don't end up liking it
This indeed is sad. With a 10-second exposure time, one can do a lot. I've won prizes using my Lumia 1520 which allowed a maximum of 4 seconds. Even on a phone that allows us to go out there in very dark (I mean literally dark) places. The other day I bought a Meizu M2 Note just because it has 10 second exposure time. Although I enjoy my Lumia 1520 and Note 3, I find myself always curious what I can do using Meizu M2 Note, just because it has an awesome exposure time. It's just a 200$ device. Believe me, that amount of shutter speed makes the shutter bugs feeling contended and curious and consequently happy. So why not?
So as of now LG is the way to go for best manual camera performance on Android. I've used my friends phone and it's awesome unless you can stand a windows phone. LG V10 is going to be my next phone. So I strongly suggest LG V10. Good manual controls let us go crazy and curious like a kid. That's the best thing that can happen. :laugh:
Hello
Hello People.
So i wasted 3 sleepless nights trying to figure out all what was discussed here. may be i should have read this before.
I cant believe this, 1/5 seconds? really? other brands are muscling 10, 30, 60 seconds. and here we are with 1/5.
I am coming from Note 5. I dont know its specs but the phone camera allowed me 10 seconds at max/ slowest shutter speed.
I hope some devs can play with libs and bring better support to camera app.
My old Xperia z2 recently got shutter speed control without camera2 api. So never give up hopes on developers.
I just hope they bring support before i leave this phone.

I cant believe this, 1/5 seconds? really? other brands are muscling 10, 30, 60 seconds. and here we are with 1/5.
I am coming from Note 5. I dont know its specs but the phone camera allowed me 10 seconds at max/ slowest shutter speed.
I hope some devs can play with libs and bring better support to camera app.
My old Xperia z2 recently got shutter speed control without camera2 api. So never give up hopes on developers.
I just hope they bring support before i leave this phone.

I'm quite certain you can do 10 second ones or at least 1 second when shooting in manual mode. I'll double check when I finish this charging test but it's definitely linger than 1/5 because I did some 1s pictures.

IMHO, those are more than satisfactory images for a cell phone camera...
If camera is the only criteria and you have the budget for S8+ or Pixel (Or the iPhone 7+), then you can maybe replace it.
But I don't think anything in the same price range can give you better image quality.
Here are some trustworthy reviews and comparisons:

I am confused. When i see pictures of other people, i feel mine are lacking.
Just to get other opinion. [emoji4] only have 3 days left for replacement

the photos are very good, imo.. i see nothing wrong with the camera (in terms of defects that warrant a replacement)..
if you are not satisfied, maybe you should consider switching to more camera-capable mobiles such as Pixel or U11..
Learn how to use the pro mode. I've been able to get FANTASTIC shots once I learned how to use pro mode. Im still learning so shots should get better over time.
Check this one out from a few days ago
Also in pro mode set it to capture raw images and then use Snapseed or Lightroom for post processing. It makes a big difference.

I thought RAW was broken on OP5 as it shows up pink on any other app than the stock gallery? Unless that's been fixed since

Then maybe you suck at using a camera. But truth to be told, the camera software on op5 has a slight chance to miss (hit or miss) No matter how well the camera, your pictures won't improve. I've managed to capture great pictures on my ****ty LG G 2 Flex ffs.

I'm assuming it's fixed as I don't have that problem

Is there only one camera working ?

Good evening everyone !
I really love the camera of the OP5, especially when shooting in RAW.
I tried pixter's lenses on my OnePlus 5 to add Wide Angle and improve Macros but I'm able to put it only on one lens (so there is a piece of plastic in front of the second cam).
Everything is good, and I tried many modes, all is working fine and this is strange...
So I decided to put my finger over the second cam (the one close to the flash), tried portrait mode, x2 zoom, manual mode, and I never saw my finger...
So is there only one camera working ??
Thanks !
The effect is only weaker with one lens.

So the right camera is never fully used ?
Most is software.
Look the videos in this post.
