Video quality - Honor 8 Real Life Review

Your friends are never going to believe what you did. The only way to prove it to them is with that video you took. Rate this thread to express how videos shot on the Honor 8 come out. A higher rating indicates that videos are smooth (and not choppy) and that auto-focus works very well, and that the camera adjusts quickly to different lighting conditions while recording.

Wish it had OIS. Video is a little shaky, esp at 60FPS.

Yeah, not to mention 4K.
But it performs great when it comes to photos.

I would give 8/10, but the lack of OIS and 4K makes it 7/10

decent not the best

Good, shaky at times

Quality is good at stills, but not so good at stabilization

The video quality of the Honor 8 is OK. It's not the best that is available on the market nor is it the worst that I have ever seen.

Great,

60 fps is shaky but the slow motion and 30 fps video is pretty darn good. Only wish it had 4k.

I really liked the slowmo feature. Me and my friends had a lot of fun with it,

not the best but decent enough

its good i would say

excellent video quality

Better than most phones with higher price.

I am really dissapointed here ...
4k - probably good I tried it but have no intention to use it - maybe in few years ..
1080 60fps - too much detail lost
1080 30fps - it looks like painting ... terrible - my s4 is doing nicer videos ... or even my iphone 6
720 240fps - well iphone does better
Here's a 4k video taken on my s7 on Friday night of my son racing his Sworkz s104 Evo A final

Video from a concert this past weekend.Straight out of the camera.Shot in QHD.Given the conditions I was very impressed with the video and sound quality.

I compared the video quality of Samsung Galaxy S7 vs Lg G3. For the same HD video on youtube, LG G3 provide crisp and colourful output, while S7 video is saturated and pixelated. I am disappointed with S7.

Hmm.. it's funny to see that those that are disappointed do not share an example, while the enthusiastics do.
This way it's impossible to compare.

how do you add the cinematic look
I moved several weeks ago from iphone6+ to S7.
Yesterday I attended a live music show and recording on S7 were horrible (distorted) compared to previous iphone 5 and 6 experience I had.
Here are 2 from yesterday that are bad

For me it is much better then lg g3 does, i never try iphone
While the sharpening look really bad in photos, Galaxy S7's video quality is superb.
Hello. Video stabilization doesn't work at all. Even if I use HD with the setting checked...
The video shakes at every step I make.

Still sound is awful shooting concerts, iphone is superb in this feature... so annoying

I read somewhere that the video stabilization option in the menu is for electronic image stabilization. Supposedly OIS is always on and doesn't react the same with EIS enabled.. Try shooting a video with that box unchecked and see if it's any better
my thoughts on S7 video recording
Over the last 2+ years, I had an S5+ (G901F). The one with SD805 and the IMX240 (same sensor powering Note 4). Recently, due to an accident which resulted in destroying my S5+, I bought an S7 (Exynos version...and quite possibly an ISOcell sensor or whatever Sammy calls it these days) I don't think I ve got the IMX260 powering my unit, so I can't make any comments regarding the hardware...
OS wise - it was 4.4.4 and 6.0.1 on my S5+ and Android N (pre-installed) on my S7.
Since I am a hardcore video shooter with my phone, I can share my impressions of the S7. In short, I was rather disappointed.
Video rec modes remain the same for both i.e. 4K, 1080p 30/60, 720p...don't care
I was expecting similar output (if not better) from my S7 compared to my S5+. But no. After triple-checking on the camera/video/photo settings, I was still recording videos where compression artifacts are clearly visible. Usually in darker areas (but not always the case) - sometimes even in areas that you d believe the camera is focusing on. I m not saying that this is a sensor issue, but rather more of a post-processing / compression issue. If I freeze the video at certain parts, I can see in a frame, compression artifacts such as the ones you d get from a highly-compressed JPEG. Which makes me wonder why didn't I see any of those whilst I was checking on the video quality produced by the S7, compared to other flagship models.
I am not sure if that quality drop between the two flagships is justified by the fact Samsung decided to move from 16MP -> 12MP, or the software i.e. Nougat vs Marshmallow (...or both). For all I know, frame quality under video recording, has significantly dropped in the S7, compared to the much older S5+. (don't know what the case was for S6, never actually tested it...) Just to clarify - this is definately not a stabilization issue (phone position is fixed whilst shooting).
The good parts - obviously - the S7 is very good under low light conditions (both video rec and photo shoting). Focus and photo shooting is amazingly fast. Two areas that it clearly smokes the S5+ as far as the camera is concerned. But that's about it really. And I d rather have the 'slower' S5+, rather than the heavily grained videos the S7 produces. Being able to shot better in the dark is always a bonus, but not so important to me. I m usually shooting [email protected] Sometimes 4K, but under good light only (due to lack of HDR whilst at 2160p). [email protected] video shooting quality seems like a 'tie' between the S7 / S5+. Both very smooth and similar amount of details preserved in the video. But yet again, I m not shooting high-speed moving objects so as to justify shooting at 60fps. But I m expecting better quality per-frame whilst at 30fps. And at 30fps, the S5+ produces better results.
Also, the video trimmer under S7/Nougat seems to lack the Rotate feature. Don't know if it was moved under the Movie Maker app (which I haven't yet downloaded). Video processing seems to be much slower now. Trimming under 4.4.4 was at least twice as fast compared to what it is now! I am really curious if trimming under more recent versions of Android actually re-compresses the output file. If that's the case, that would be discraseful to say the least...can anyone confirm this? I will at some point test this myself and post the results.
Just to clarify. I m not saying that recorded videos using the S7 are bad - I m saying that it lacks the quality per-frame of the ones shot by the S5. I very rarely recall seeing compression artifacts in videos captured by my older S5+ and that is why is pretty obvious to me now. And I can't explain it. If it's not a sensor issue, could it be that the compression ratio has been increased? If that's the case - it's a good thing - as it could be fixed in a later release. Has anyone witnessed video quality degredation from Marshmallow ->> Nougat?

Videos are a bit...meh. The lack of 60 fps and "manual video" in general is, frankly, sad. The turnaround was using v10's camera app ported to the G4 (but works on G5) : 60 fps FullHd (but no OIS and no wide lens atm)
I recorded some waterfalls and other natural objects and I was very much impressed with it. It is the best video I have seen recorded on a cell phone. The live action of my boys baseball games is equally impressive. Maybe my eyes aren't that sensitive.

Wow....
All my respect for this company and for its phones. G5 IS THE BEST
I do love the quality of the video and really enjoy the time-lapse feature!
I recorded some videos from cars competition using different modes (4K, wide camera, HD with slow motion)
Slow motion.
4k
Wide camera
You can see all videos on my youtube channel
Can someone help me on how to use the timelapse videos ? I tried with the timelapse button but nothing change when watching the video.
I fell in love with the time lapse mode...

You can do manual video using the V10 apk camera app for non rooted
The photos this beast takes are superb but videos are kinda "meh" but I think it's because of that "steady" feature as it kinda "warps" the video so just OIS is better if you have steady hands. Also thank god for V10 Camera Apk for 1080p 60 FPS video recording...60 fps is sooo beautiful!

While i was driving i saw the mount shaking too much and i thought the result video was going to be really shaky....i couldn't be more wrong OIS did a great job and the video turned out perfect
I'm so glad to see this post and find out about the v10 camera port

I definitely agree with you. OIS is really doing a great job on this device. :good:

I confirm that the video quality is amazing. I like the slow motion capabilities. I have Exynos version.

Video quality is AMAZING but what is the point of having the best camera if you can't send it to your peers (most with iPhones) without being 56k quality videos?
And it's near impossible to get someone to download a 3rd party app that adds memory space to another person's phone only for them to cater to an android trying to reclaim how great your phone camera is

So I give videos an 8 out of 10.
The EIS works brilliantly. Very steady recording. The 60 fps 1080p is uber smooth.
Just very disappointed how the camera app doesn't give a simple frame rate switching button to toggle through all the FPS options instead of requiring you to back out into the settings of the app to switch resolution and then return to change FPS. VERY FRUSTRATING.
Sent from my Pixel using XDA-Developers mobile app
Video quality is absolutely perfect. I have an SGS7, iPhone 7, and this. Even though this doesn't have ois it still beats the s7 and iphone hands down. The slow motion is 100% seamless.
Sometimes when I take a video it will be grainy. I think it has to do with the lighting but I shot a video for YouTube a couple days ago and it was pretty bad. Kind of want to reshoot it but I am also pretty lazy.

Not really a fan of the 8K video quality especially at low (maxes out at 24fps) frame rates. What do you guys think?
It's.... fine. 24fps is cinema rate, so it's more intended to be used with a stabilized mount and slow panning, so that accounts for a lot of the jutter. Well, that, and YouTube's compression algorithms, but I won't hold that against the camera. 8K isn't likely to be really useful for a few years yet, so honestly I am fairly impressed the the quality is as good as it is when the camera is still.
Video capability is on par with iPhone 11, and blows Pixel out of the water. If you do a lot of video recording, this is currently the best Android device for that job.
I would say the video quality is quite good.

Does anyone know or has tried to record 4k 60fps continuously.
What I mean to ask is, if recording 4k 60 fps, is their any limit to the record time or can you keep doing so until you run out of space or battery.
I'am coming from an Sony Xperia devices, on their there is no limit apart from the memory card or battery.

Thanks for your reply, so I take it there isn't a time recording limit. What about 8k recording?
wide angle cam stabilization test
here's a sample footage to test stabilization of the wide angle camera on a very bumpy trail. i say stabilization is excellent.
