Selfies in good to moderately low light are very good. Sadly there is not option to un-mirror the image, so you will always end up with your mirror image (something I do not appreciate). Detail is very good and beautification can be turned off completely. In very low light colors are rather muted. Flash images have a very cold color temperature. This is not state of the art, where good camera software usually can compensate for that and give nice, natural image even with LED flash.

"save as mirrored photo" setting
See attached pic.

Interestingly this option is not available on my device. I did all available updates.

Selfie should be better with a gcam port.

Gcam is overated big time.. Many missing features in gcam that is exclusive to this phone. for example you cant choose the 120hz or 60hz or wideangle or even the macro lens in the video or pic mode on Gcam.. The factory app just gives you all those best options..
HOWEVER
In low light or dim light I find the factory camera will often try to focus in and out every second or 2 and makes the video look like its being shaked around. When using Gcam it wont do that. So be sure to turn on a light or maybe try using manual mode which does a very good job but takes some time to fine tune.
Other than that focus issue in low light this camera is the best I ever seen. very impressive.. Video is super smooth. Choose H.265 to get the best quality and lower memory card usage..

CAMERA: Selfie Quality

You're beautiful and everyone knows it. That's why you take selfies. Rate this thread to express how the front-facing camera of the Note5 performs. A higher rating indicates that the front camera produces fantastic results consistently.

Love, love, love the wide-angle. Also, the Note5, for better or worse, seems to apply a skin smoothing effect, which makes me look better than normal (my face needs all the help it can get!), so I like it, but it's also not very natural. And this is on the automatic setting. Hum.
Concur on the skin smoothing effect. A little much for my tastes. Looks unnatural and 'photoshopped'.

way better than my LG G4. g4 becomes small screen size when doing selfie. unlike note 5 same screen size. can easily detect its lower quality than the camera at the back. still its a great improvement from previous note series.
"Automatic" Night Mode Ruins the Almighty Camera
The night mode is so frustrating since it cannot be disabled/enabled manually, especially in the front camera. It seems its turning on in moderate lit areas since the front camera(ONLY) is laggy although there is no "sign"(hand) on the top right of the screen showing night mode turned on(I know, wierd right ?), i downloaded a third party app that has no night mode and the camera was smooth(with the same lighting as in the default camera app which means the night mode in the default camera was not needed at that time). So the problem is with the software regarding night mode. Now in the default camera app when i enter a high lit room, the camera becomes super smooth(no lag) . And now regarding the "smoothing effect"(beautifying effect) it is not that big of a deal since it is not that visible unless you increase it in the settings. OVERALL: Camera(wide angle - great quality pictures/videos - many modes - Fast shutter speed/response/launch etc.) is GREAT. Hope there will be a phone update to fix the night mode issue without affecting both the qualities mentioned above and the ones not mentioned.
Side Note: does anyone else have the issue i am facing(no pun intended) ?
I have not taken a selfie for a long time. I used to take LOTS of them and send them to my girl frined. Doesn't matter which Apps I used, facebook, messenger, instagram, snapchat or regular default text message app the quality of the seflie came out nice. Even in the low light, it wasn't the best and there was some grainy digital noise but still looked good. I don't use a lot of filters or post pic editing or changing like instagram. But my girlfriend did mention, the selfies looked nice and good quality. Not as good as the iphone 6s selfie,. but better much better than the note 3 selfie camera quality.

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 Moto X4'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.

With flash it's 5 stars. Works pretty good without. Works as good as my S8.
I took some test shots on my phone today, using 3 different camera apps:
- The Stock Moto Camera
- The Stock Google Camera from the Play Store
- Modified Google Camera found Here. MGCB_7.0H_C2API_Full_PXL2_v.1.4_60FPS_noburst_v3
I tested in a large room with the lights off, and sunlight coming in. There are lots of shadows and dark areas, as well as very bright spots. I tested with HDR Off, HDR On, and HDR Auto (if applicable). I also threw in a wide angle, for comparison. (spoiler: Ew).
Some things that surprised me, in no particular order:
- The Stock Moto HDR actually did a decent job at brightening up the dark areas, and giving the shadows a bit of color. Not a ton of extra noise, either. However, the window was still washed out.
- Stock Google Cam didn't offer anything the others didn't, and HDR On/Off didn't seem to do a thing.
- Modified Google Cam definitely helped with the bright spots, as those are the only 2 pictures that you could see out the window, but it also introduced a LOT of noise in the shadows and dark areas. This is a known side effect of HDR in low-light, as I saw the same effect on my 5x when using HDR+ in low light.
I may try a different Modified Gcam, and try to input the settings manually. Hopefully that will result in better pics, as otherwise the Stock Moto camera seems to be our best bet for now.
The stock camera app in normal picture mode is not using good ISO/shutter speed combinations in low light at all. Take some and check the info on your images. It always goes for high ISO and faster shutter speed. It stops on 1/15 A LOT, and seems to adjust ISO from there. Switch to Professional Mode and force a slower shutter speed, lower ISO and now they look much better. HDR on this app is garbage with those auto focus settings too. It works much better with higher quality images with less noise, which the auto focus is incapable of providing in any low light situations.
I did some more tests with the v4.0 AIO modified Gcam, and there wasn't a difference.
I went back to the v1.4, and took some pics at home. These were very low-light, with candles the only light source in the room. I noticed similar trends:
Stock Cam is VERY blochy when you zoom in.
Stock HDR seems to brighten the whole image, but isn't very, you know, dynamic.
Stock Cam is way less noisy/blochy when you zoom in. It preserves much more detail.
Modified Gcam using HDR+ does a MUCH better job handling the candle light in the pic, as the light source isn't overexposed.
I may do some 100% crops and share them tomorrow, but Stranger Things 2 with the wife is more important atm. #sorrynotsorry.

I'm using the manual Google APK here with HDR+ and it's also using very high ISOs, even in pretty good light. I have a lamp behind me, lights on in the room and both apps are using an ISO2400. If I manually set the ISO to 1200 or lower, I can still take a good photo by manually adjusting the shutter speed to 1/15, 1/10, or even 1/8 (anything lower and it's blurred). This HW should be capable of blazing fast auto focus so there is zero reason it's setting the ISOs so high. High ISO = more noise, less detail. Fast auto focus should mean that lowering the ISO in low light will focus better, faster, with less blur from the slower shutter speed. Something ain't right here.
HDR+ will clean up the noise from the high ISO setting some.

That's odd. Is this an issue you've been experiencing on the optimum configs (manual version) or with both modded apps?

Yeah, you're right on this. I did some more test last night, and the most consistent seems to be the modified Gcam HDR+. It preserves more detail while keeping the noise down.
Basically, I feel like these are all just playing around with settings and apks that are meant for other phones. I know the Gcam software can work wonders, and I know the sensor/ISP/DSP/CPU can support more than what the stock Moto Cam is doing, but getting a modded Gcam apk that's meant for out phones would be fantastic. Unfortunately, it'll take someone smarter than me to piece it all together.
Coming from a much older S3, the moto x4 camera is WAY ahead.
I have a small laser projector that only outputs 63 lumens.
The S3 camera could never get a photo on the highest setting.
The x4 camera does it easily.
Apples and Oranges possibly, but the camera is not nearly as "bad" as some
reviews stated.

I had an S7 for work until recently. Hated it. Battery life is worse than X4, too much bloatware, and the fingerprint sensor on it suuuuucked. Rear camera was about the same as X4 but front was inferior. No contest. Get the X4.
Please think twice believing reviewers.
Most of them hated Moto X4's camera coz it has a sluggish and mediocre quality when it comes to depth (portrait mode).
BUT I can assure you that my Moto X4 performs on par with HTC 10 when it comes to ALL lighting conditions.
I took photos side by side and the quality is the same. I even found that the Moto X4 does NOT need to auto trigger HDR in the lowlight pic I took (HTC did auto trigger HDR).
Both HTC 10 and Moto X4 have minimal noise and really looks almost the same given that they are using a different ISP (SD 820 vs SD 630).
I'll try to upload both pics so you can check them as well.
Quick one from today.
The Galaxy S7 will definitely has a better camera quality BUT the X4 also has a pretty good camera so you won't get disappointed.
BUT I'd rather choose Moto X4 since it is a new device while S7 is already almost 2 generations older (S9 is coming).

Yes.
Four low light examples. They were taken in hostile lightning codtions by Gcam HDR+. No tripod. The quality and the dynamic range is at the same level as Nexus 5x, Pixel 1.
Can you share a gCam version that you use. And setting ...I try few, but for me quality of stock camera photos is better. Thx.

I'm finding that most of the pictures I'm taking of people seem to be softened by the software. The softening of the pictures actually make them look pretty bad. Anyone else having this issue? Just using default settings when taking the pictures

Has miui10 added any camera changes for the Mi Mix 2s?
Hi guys, curious, has anyone experienced choppiness when viewing through the camera? and the potrait mode is terrible contrary to much of the rave reviews.. the background blur is not uniform most of the time.. any advice or tips?

Agree, portrait mode is terrible, also all the photos add some kind of softening filter. Only good thing is that you can edit the center of the photo so you can move the bokeh effect.

Well I use open camera mostly due to options. At low light I've found that the image quality is GREAT if you use 4MP(16:9) checked with 9MP and 12MP(always at 16:9 ratio).
In 4MP at very low light I was super impressed(always 100% jpeg quality in the open camera app). Test it yourself, it worth your time. Just make sure you have a steady surface
EDIT: uploading pictures 12MP, 9MP, 4MP
Image difference 2-3 seconds apart - 9:00pm (4MP>12MP>9MP). Don't know why 4MP is so much better(less MP is worse than 12MP)

What do you give up by using open camera (does tele and wide angle switch work and how is 4K video etc) so far I like the manual mode of the stock miui camera app but also like the idea of using a standard app off the play store

Well if you want optical zoom you still need to use the stock camera, 4K rec? you can but I pref 1080p also I do like to adjust the bitrate of the video and audio and open camera does have that. I use to use this app to my 1+1 too
I like to customize everything and miui camera well ..2-3 settings at best
P.S. Open camera also doesn't have panorama but talking to the dev and said he's planning to include a panorama soon - Did you check the low light quality in 4MP? impressive(compered to higher res)

Well, not really . My 6p nor my Zenfone max pro m1 had ois or eis. Both took unshaken selfies. I also checked with few others using Poco and they can't find any such issue. For me the problem is when we use volume rocker, we tend to push the phone a bit. And that shakes. I always use volume rocker and asked other Poco owners to do the same and their selfies are not shaken. I think it could be individual device's fault.

No such problem in my phone, captures stunning selfies and rear snaps without any trouble. You might have tremors.
anyone try to take a photo of the imei at the back of box, cant seem to focus well
I bought POCO F1 during 1st flash SALE. I'm not satisfied with the camera performance especially the edge detection is very poor during portrait mode..
Even though the reviewer are showing good portrait mode with better edge detection...
Can anyone help me with the settings or is there anyone else who is facing the same issue.?
Please suggest whether or not i should replace my phone..??
I agree about the camera issue with slight shakes, the default camera app can't handle it well.
Bought it in 2nd flash sale. Camera quality is below par (rear camera). Focusing issues. My 1 year old lg g6 is way better. Im not talking about OIS. But taking still pictures with default settings.
Has anyone tried different camera app?
Does any one face the issue that in Portrait mode (rear camera) the faces are too beautified and they lack details.. i mean no sharpness.
Any one knows how to solve?

So to conclude, pocophone has decent camera. In good light and in controled light it has good dynamic range, lot of details and focus is fast and accurate. In low light, noise reduction reduces amount of details, and photos can be blury due to longer exposure and lack of ois.
Solution?
GCAM
It is in earley stages of porting for poco, so give it few weeks, but already it gives better results in low light than stock camera. Best thing about it is that you don't need to root or flash anything, just install it and that is it.
Oneplus 3 with Gcam takes 12MP photos much better with sizes ranging from 6 MB to 10 MB which is a result of capturing higher details. While the poco stock cam takes 12MP photos with size less than 4MB and portrait photos are less than 1 MB. There is either compression taking place or some aggressive noise suppression that takes away all the details thus resulting in smaller file sizes. This problem exists even with the redmi note 5 with 12MP photos taking up less than 2 MB space. Can somebody else test this with their poco and see if they are able to get a higher file size?

From the stock cam, I see reasonable amounts of details in the images and file sizes range from 4-8 MB in varied conditions. I have a protraits that are around 8 MB, perhaps you may want to check the settings if there is something amiss

Ok so here are my observations. Poco's AI or auto mode uses fast shutter speed and low exposure to reduce blur and compensate for the lack of OIS.This results in loss of details. I see the oneplus 3 use slower shutter speeds and higher exposure to capture a lot more detail using its OIS. I used manual mode in Poco to mimic Oneplus's setting and took photos with 1/15 shutter speed and 800 ISO. Oneplus 3uses these settings on non hdr mode.
Oneplus captured a bit more detail but with more noise than poco with a file size of 5 MB and poco had less noise and lower details with a file size of 3 MB. These are indoor shots.So poco uses noise suppression resulting in loss of detail.
Gcam HDR mode dramatically improves image quality in oneplus 3 with higher details and lower noise with a file size of 7 MB for the same photo. Hence we can expect Gcam mod to do the same wonders for poco F1.

That's where I feel the poco stock cam does a fine job on the software to overcome the hardware limitations, for most of our normal day to day use, these pics are quite good, the dynamic range is impressive on many occasions.

I personally feel the auto mode on stock cam is very conservative on the settings resulting in an almost unusable indoor and low light shots. This can be overcome mostly by manual mode but I still feel this needs a proper gcam port to unleash the true capabilities of this sensor.

Agree on the indoor picture quality, good thing I have the Note8 for that and the low light shots
Poco is good for all day browsing, chatting, and some decent day light clicks. As a daily driver there's enough things on the phone to like it.
Does anyone have Direct experience taking pictures with a Galaxy S7 and this one? I would like to change my mobile phone but I wouldn't like to lose a lot in camera experience. Thank you very much

So to conclude, pocophone has decent camera. In good light and in controled light it has good dynamic range, lot of details and focus is fast and accurate. In low light, noise reduction reduces amount of details, and photos can be blury due to longer exposure and lack of ois.
Solution?
GCAM
It is in earley stages of porting for poco, so give it few weeks, but already it gives better results in low light than stock camera. Best thing about it is that you don't need to root or flash anything, just install it and that is it.

Photo quality

Say "cheese", then rate this thread to express how photos taken with the Xiaomi Poco X2 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!

No OIS. EIS yes
Night Mode on stock camera is unacceptable. Noisy, rough, lacking detail, and artifacts everywhere. I use Google Camera for almost everything except Video recording(because gcam port is not fully working yet). The sideways photo is from the stock camera.
8 out of 10
Camera hardware is there but software is lacking.
Image processing is good but it struggles in low-light.
Google camera shows what the hardware is capable of and it's very good. Front camera is also good, but still struggles in low-light. Also, beauty mode is on by default which is just ridiculous.
Yeah i have forgotten that stock application even exists. Lat time I was using miui, tha cam also had contrast and sharpness. It doesn't now. Gcam is quite good at pushing the limits
Which gcam are you all using?
Huge noise in night time shots unless you have a tripod and your object is stable.
I had a bad experience while clicking photos at my friend's birthday. I tried every settings to capture low light photos but every photo has noise and faces are blur like hell. Very disappointed.

These pictures are great! Are you using the original stock rom or any custom rom?
The day I bought the phone, we took some pictures are we were very very happy with the picture quality. Then after one month I installed custom rom (EvolutionX / crDroid) and I noticed that the picture quality is not that great, not satisfactory . It doesn't matter which camera app I use, the result is not satisfactory.
