Low light stock camera performance is the worst, plain and simple.
You are thrown back years compared to other 2019 phones.
It's not even bad, it's Really really terrible.
Gcam mods make a difference but they are cumbersome, slow, no Wideangle support (in my case) and i just want a problem free factory camera setup that works all the time.
If you make a lot of low light condition pictures the ROG2 probably is the worst phone you can buy, period !
If there's a category for best gaming phone camera , rog phone 2 will top that chart...but if it's against other flagships I can only say it gets the job done...gcam does help out but ever so slightly

Loads of room for improvement
ROGPHONE 2 is a gaming phone. For a "gaming phone". Its good. But if i compared it to my P30 Pro... Its total trash.
For uploading death-compressed food images or cat images to facebook or whatsapp its more than good enough. Which is what 99% of people do. What it really lacks is a optical zoom.

This device performs poorly in low light. luckily the Ultra has a front facing flash.
It's pretty grainy under low light rooted or not. Root doesn't affect the noise.
I shot an hd video in very low light on Lineage 17 fw 50.2. And Yes poor performance and poor results. That's just the name of the game in most midrangers though.

That's not true. Let me give you some better examples:
Pixel 3a
Motorola One Action / Vision
Xiaomi Mi A2 (Lite)
and more. Heck even low end phones produce better result than this Pixel Mess left and right. Upscaled 20MP my ass ...
I'd say the Sony Camera Framework is the worst I've come accross in the recent years in regards to handling Noise and different situations including Manual Control on Stock (heck even cheap ass Huawei/Honor devices are better then this), and yes - its just the Camera Framework (underlying) nothing more, nothing less.
It wouldn't be that bad if their ASOP blobs would be properly working since these give full Camera2 API access including RAW-Support - theoretically -
but as it is now Android 9 was unstable and Android 10 it doesn't competely work at all due to a Hardware Resource Bug.
Mind you that there's hope since there's now an official Pixel Experience ROM for this Device Range on Android 10 - so once it will be fixed (if they ever fix it) it will be usable and the rest of it stable.
But that's a big if.
The should fire the team responsible for camera framework development.
All of which I've never used.
Owned a Nokia 6.1, meh. However it was way better than the Xperia here for the price.
Owned a moto z2 play. Similar results but better than the Xperia.
My point being is that I was on a custom ROM. I DID NOT expect much anyway. I rolled back to the stock Rom and stills were improved and video recording smoothed out too.
I think you'd have to subjectively list those phones all running the same custom ROM and determine which one takes home the medal with camera performance. Otherwise yes my statement was not true.

Mediocre low light performance
Low light camera quality is mediocre at best, bought one for my sibling and you see lots of artifacts, noise, and very little detail even with medium lighting.
Medicore-ish...and on the bad side....
If you want somewhat GOOD low light pictures, select NIGHT MODE-> set ISO to 800-> Set Shutter time to 1s. Works wonders and it produces 10times better image with much details and like really really low noise !

I will try but this but I'm hoping we get an update where you don't have to mess with settings to get pictures at an acceptable level
I dont like it in low light.
AIS is implemented for COR-L29 in 8.2.0.131(C432GT) update.
It wasn't mentioned anywhere but if you'll take some night mode shots now you 'll notice it right away.
It uses about 6 seconds exposure and shots are not blurry at all.
It improves low light performance quite a lot actually!!
How do you know? I'm on COR-L29 on 8.2.0.130(C185GT) but my night mode shots still are blurry
You are one update behind.
It's implemented on 8.2.0.131(C432GT)
Low light could definitely be better, but still far superior to other device in its price range.

I looked at the Gcam link in your signature:
https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/dev-parrot043/
That page says that "New versions from Bulkin043 are now shared on his new Parrot043 GCam page.", which is here:
https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/dev-parrot043/
What version of Gcam is working best for you?
Are any of the versions translated from Russian to English?
Thank you!
I'd recommend this version https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/f/changelog640/
just a few things to remember . .
1 - it can take something like 20 seconds to process a HDR+ photo after you take it with the version i posted . There are some versions that do it a lot quicker , but they dont use sabre .. thats googles image processing software to increase image quality .
2 - night-sight photos may look blurry because we dont have image stabilisation , just try to hold the camera as still as possible or rest the phone on something
i've compared many photos to my old honor 9 which was said to have a great dual camera setup , and the G7 power with gcam just blows it out of the water

It's terrible in low-light. Use Google cam for usable images in low-light.
I dont think so majority of people know how to make the best use of pro mode.

Obviously long-exposure shots will be brighter than regular shots. Not everyone will use a tripod, I'm talking about Night mode.
The phone's hardware is fine, great in fact. But the software is just awful. Here are some shots using Gcam and stock cam. The first 2 are from stock cam, night mode on, badly over-processed, and noisy as hell. The 3rd and 4th shots are cleaner, less noise, more vivid, and a lot more detailed are from Gcam.

The 'Night Vision" mode is pretty good, but it takes quite some time to process the image.
I think there are no details in the photos. I shoot with Samsung s7 edge, it can be seen that the photos are better. But this one is a lot cheaper.
I have g9 plus and s7e.

Yes, I have it installed. (MGC_7.4.104_Parrot043_v5) but the only thing I use it for is photospheres. I don't see much difference between stock and gcam tho...

For some reason most gcams don't work right on this phone, with night sight giving the same results as regular HDR+. The only one I've found that works right so far is https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/f/changelog1208/
