Camera quality - Huawei Mate 9 Porsche Design Questions & Answers

I'm not 100% convinced about how good this camera is.
I heard the mate 9 had an update which made the camera better. Will this apply to us as well?

my note 7 camera was 100 times better. I'm quite disappointed with this.
The mate 9 with update was better. Had both.

I have the Mate 9 Pro, which is the same hardware as the PD. Camera is IMO worse than the one in my iPhone 7 (not Plus). Front camera takes very yellow photos. Optical stabilizer is working too hard on the rear camera.

Hi!
I've just downloaded the Google camera and to be honest the results are pretty good!
Have a play and see what you think..
BTW.. Definitely get the sim tray thing looked into.. It should be conpletely flush

Not sure if you guys talking about pro or the Porsche design but my pro is the best camera I ever had on a phone. And I did have have s7 edge before

The demo phone in three individual stores in the nearest town center, Aalborg, suffered from the same "issue".
What is this "Google camera" you are talking about?

S7 Edge doesn't impress me particularly, either - too brown/yellow in the tint on the rear camera for my liking.

Quite pleased with this pic..
Not often I get to take artsy pics but I'm thinking this one is worth sharing.

I think that camera is pretty good in even low light situations, it takes pretty good shots.

I take back what i said about the camera...
Took a pic of a plane in the air..
I then zoomed in and took another pic...
Also took some pics of my kid on a rather fast fair ride and he came out completely clear!
Impressed!

The camera is for me quite good but in low light it is not as good as my xperia x performance. The colours could be more vivid though

Anyone not happy with the camera even after the update?

For some reason when I shoot videos or photos, it's blurry if I try to shoot right away. OR I have to tap on the object just to focus on it. I remember being drunk at a concert and recording some video...it took about 10 seconds of a 2 minute video just to fully focus. Even my s3, m7 and old phones never had this problem. Anyone else have this problem?

Camera isn't great, people are probably going to say you're talking rubbish. But I agree.
You can take a good pic and video but not you have to prepare it in certain cases, clean the lens etc.
Camera is just great and it keeps getting better. Make sure you don't have a faulty device or maybe clean the lens and laser auto focus.
Camera experience on mine is awful.

Compared to my mother's iPhone 6 and my old S6E it takes better photos. I'm not doubting with a few more software updates it'll get even better. I saw that Taiwan got another update recently that reduced glare and further improved on exposure.
I'm going to be honest, the camera is terrible imo. But that's why I carry my DSLR with me if I want to take good pictures. Here is a video I took of my ride to work the other night and the lens was as clean as it could possibly be. Pictures come out the same way https://goo.gl/photos/SS7meVTv2tdA9EuX9

In low light condition it might still have the autofocus issue, but in bright situation it's been fixed, I think.
I agree with the fact that in the right conditions it's a great camera, it can take some decent shots. But if the situation doesn't permit then it'll takes some poor ones, this has been htcs issues for a long time.
Agreed.
I had the m7 and m8 and so I was used to tinkering with touching the screen to find the perfect focus spot and waiting and taking lots of shots hoping one or two were good.
Then I had the S7 edge for a few weeks. WOW! Never seen anything like that camera.
I returned because of the bootloader and was really excited hearing how the 10's camera rated nearly as good.
I have no idea what crack they are smoking, but focus is an issue and low light performance is worse than the m8, IMO.
After the Verizon update, the camera is faster to focus for me. I still have far too many optical flares though, and halo effects from fingerprints on the lens. They go away if I spend a minute cleaning it well with a lens cloth, but I'm not going to do that before taking every single photo. The lens is easy to accidently touch.
It's tragic because I feel this is a decent camera -- but they either put the glass too far away from the sensor or didn't coat the lens properly to prevent fingerprints from ruining shots. I've never had this problem with any of my other smartphones.
If I had to do it again, I think I'd likely go S7 (standard.) Unfortunately for me, I'm outside of my return window. My girlfriend has it, all of her photos are better, the phone is slightly easier to hold /much lighter, storage performance is much better, and the phone finally has enough power to overcome TouchWiz. Anyone wanna trade? lol

Funny thing, the M9 camera "Could" take a decent pic. The sensor wasn't actually a bad one.
It just had poor optimisation and that's what let it down.
I have an iPhone for work (I know )
But the camera is superb, for a quick point and shoot, it's hard to beat.
Also a friend has the G5, camera is simply sublime. The wide angle is just amazing, still even with all this moaning I would swap any for my HTC.
Just something really cool about them..[emoji16] its a curse.
IMO the camera is the best HTC has made, but it's still no where close to Samsungs camera, even the original galaxy (SGS Vibrant) is miles better.
It's a choice, camera VS bootloader, mods, roms, etc.

I agree completely, the camera is htcs best, but still behind the curve. They'll get it one day.
I tried to take a video a few days ago and problem was it kept and stayed out of focus no matter what I tried

What do you mean by storage performance? What kind of scenario in your case?
Sent from my HTC6545LVW using Tapatalk
Sounds like a there must some defective cameras out there. My camera always focuses instantly and I have taken a lot of photos. Not one of my photos has been disappointing so far and I have taken them in a wide array of condition, both dark and light.

Sounds like a simple enough idea, and the reason I think it may work is because I think it's htcs optimization of the camera.
Do you think another app would work better? Might give a few a whirl tomorrow, bought a good one not long ago, will try it and let you guys know.
This is the app, https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.riseupgames.proshot2
Has buttons similar to a DSLR.

emmc (HTC) vs usf (what Samsung uses.)
Reads are 35% faster on the S7. Writes are much faster on the HTC10 due to great SLC write cache, but far less important than read speed, in my book.
This improves not only general performance, but file transfers to your computer (real world example: get photos off device without cloud)

I understand that internal storage is faster on the S7, but I asked for a SCENARIO that affects YOU to the point where the speed of that difference shows.
Moving files such as movies, photos, and music to your internal storage seems a bit silly when you have an sd slot.

I feel like I can take decent to great pictures BUT the phone sometimes has a hard time focusing unless you tap on the screen. If you were trying to take a picture of something quick, most likely it will be blurry. And yeah, I do clean my lenses more than usual. This is my only problem with this phone. I came from a S6E and that phone had a great camera
too bad it's crippled with touchwiz and yes, it still lags from time to time.

How bad is the camera vs flagships of 2 years ago?

Not expecting S7 edge/7+ quality here.
Coming from S5, is it better/worse/equal?
Seems like this is the only weakness of the device, at $250 on LeMall Black Friday can't ask for much more!
Snapdragon 821 with 4000 battery, it makes everyone else look like a joke.

It's better than my S5, Nexus 6 and OnePlus one cameras. It's as good as my 6p and oneplus 2 camera, it's worse than my S6 edge camera and worse than my wife's iPhone 6s camera...just purely objectively but that's how I would rank it in the phones I have used in the last two years.

I also have a nexus 6p, and boy oh boy do i disagree. 6p camera is hundreds of miles ahead, in daylight its quite better with details and especially with dynamic range, and in low light photos are about same quality as 6p front camera lmao. But i find 6p camera to be one of the best of all smartphones, so no biggie. Pro 3 has very decent goodlight photos, definitely better than s5, but really suffers in not so good conditions. Video quality is also average at best. To summarise camera is more than decent for social networks and stuff, but if you are into photography and want good pictures i wouldnt recommend this phone. It has many strong sides, camera isnt one of them.

I agree with you mostly, but the speed of the 6p camera is really poor. In low light 6p takes good pictures, but only with the HDR mode, and then it becomes even slower.
LP3 is a much faster camera.
No, I am not into photography. For regular 'social networks and stuff' photography I will keep LP3 camera ahead of 6p.
Adding a fun fact. I often video record long class lectures. While using a 6p for recording a 720p video of 90min, the phone gets really hot, and loses more than 50% of the battery. LP3 for the same scenario still runs cool, loses only 20% battery. I guess it's the generation gap of the CPU.
The 6p camera, like the 6p in general was a love hate thing for me. Everytime I thought it had an amazing camera I would get a string of crap photos. Not sure why. Just like everytime I thought it was an amazingly fast phone I would go through a stretch where it was terribly laggy. Felt like I was always factory resetting it...

My note 4 camera is way much better than leeco pro 3
Let's just post some night shoot from the LP3 to compare with our older phone.
The camera is the exact same module that's inside the one plus 3T. It's actually a good camera. The issue is its implementation. The camera can get way better with the right update or ROM.

All professional reviews? Where? show me where they used Google Camera app on Le Pro 3. I have my own comparison. iPhone 7 is pathetic compared to Nexus 5X. Not even better than Galaxy S4.
Here is my comparison of LePro3 using Google Camera App vs. Default vs Default HDR.
Weidas said:
Yes, 1 random photo of a teddybear is sure a "comparison" lmao. And yes, suddenly using a google camera, makes 1.12micrometer camera sensor perform better than 1.55micrometer sensor in nexus lmao. Can you be more ridiculous? Oneplus 3 uses same sensor, + it has ois and way better software optimisation than le pro 3, and its camera is still **** compared to nexus 5x/6p.

I can produce the same amount of comparisons with the same amount of nonsense you are talking about. Galaxy S7 has smaller sensor than Nexus 5X/6P but it peformed better or equal in comparison.
With a little bit of post processing also low light photos should be ok. I think the camera is good enough for me. Attached is an OOC shot and the post-processed version.

Here's the detail was missing~
It's considerably better than my Moto X Pure (aka Style). Much more so in decent light. Just a small bit better in lower light. For $299 (now less even) it's nothing to complain about for sure. If it was on a $650 flagship, I'd be a little disappointed but could still live with just fine if everything else was on point. For me, everything already is on point with the LP3 personally. A CM or AOSP would be just icing on the cake!

I came from the 5x and usually don't think much of camera and audio haters so I don't pay much attention to reviews in these areas. But oh my this camera sucks! Which Google camera apk works with HDR with this phone, maybe that can help it? Play store does not offer Google Camera app for this phone, anyone recommend a link?
Camera seems much improved when using CM 13 or even the Google Camera app on the stock ROM. It still leaves a little to be desired but I like how quick and responsive it is.
Tried Google camera. It doesn't support HDR in Google camera. Pictures in low light are actually worse with the Google app

Coming from N5x, I agree with you. With HDR, not only you get better DR but much better color rendition, even in low light.
With LePro3, Google Camera will not give you HDR but you do get good color rendition of Google Camera. Try the 2.7.010 version linked below. Other versions do not really work, at least on CM.

Tend to use the stock app most of the time as 99% of the time it produces a perfect picture for me, I also have 'open camera' and the 'moment camera' apps installed as well to play around with as well.
As a side not, I use a Rode mic for filming video as not a fan of the quality of the mics on the phone

I come from Sammy Note 8 to, yaa and mi max 3, honor 8x max, honor note 10 and now mate 20X.
I love all those phones lots more then the Note 8 which i sold after 10 days. I only like phablets with big display and Sammy note is no longer in this category after the ratio aspect 18-19/9 becomes standards, sooo saaddd. I really miss my old loving 16/9 and my old Asus Zenfone 3 Ultra a lot 6,8 inch and 16/9.

i think the recording will still be using the mic from the phone....in samsung camera app, there is setting to control the source....
try recording with you microphone...pulling it near and away from your voice....i think it will remain same volume....which means recording takes place at the phone..

I couldnt ignore this post because I am the same way..I had a Sony Z Ultra, a Mediapad X2 and a Sony Z3 Tablet Compact (which I still have) as my phones but I wanted something more modern and oh boy, since all this trend of bagette shaped phones, it has been a struggle for me to find anything half decent. Finally settled on the Mate 20x which as awesome as it is, still feels so freaking tiny. Having a hard time adapting to the smaller phone but on the other side..damn this phone has great features!
I've just had my new Mate 20 X for a week and overall love the phone.
But the biggest gripe I have with this phone is the retard camera app. Why is it that when the app is set for 40MP resolution on the main camera, it will disable access to the wide-angle and telephoto lenses? This makes no sense what so ever mainly because the default 10MP setting absolutely sucks.. absurd over processing, contrast and sharpening. The best quality and most natural looking images I get is by using the 40MP setting with the main camera (under good lighting conditions). But then if I want to use the wide-angle or tele lens for a particular shot, I have to go back into Settings, fall back to the default 10MP option just so there is access to the other lenses. This is really really so bad. Why isn't there a setting of simply bring able to usr all the of 3 sensors' full native resolution instead of having to fall back to 10MP picture size just to be able to switch cameras? Is there a workaround this or another camera app than can work in a more logical way than the Huawei's camera app?
This aside, I love the phone.. great batter life, super fast, incredible overall build quality, really awesome hardware.. maybe the last great phone from Huawei for the foreseeable future as things look pretty grim for them. But the camera app, wow.. what a nightmare.
Anyway, maybe I'm doing something wrong and I haven't figured it out yet.. tanks in advance for any advice.

Has it been proven that Mate 20X have identical camera performance to Mate 20 PRO ?

Has it been proven that Mate 20X have identical camera performance to Mate 20 PRO ?
Why I am asking is cause the camera on 20X does surprise me in bad way, biggest problem compared to the Vivo Nex is the exposure is way too bright
in darker scenes, but also very high noise levels I am surprised that this was supposed to be the best camera for android...
So that is why I am wondering have any one done a side by side comparison ? While they are the same on paper there could still be software differences that **** things up
Having owned the 20pro and then moving to the 20x i can confirm the cameras are the same. Personally I prefer the 20x as a phone/media consumption device.
Personally I don't find the cameras too bad. But I do hate the camera app. It's not intuitive. If I want to switch from 40mp to wide or zoom I have to mess with the settings and what I'm wanting to photograph has normally moved or gone by then.
I had a 20 pro and now a 20x. I can confirm the camera performance is the same.
That said, I don't find the cameras as good as the pixel 3 or even P20 Pro. Shots in good lighting look washed out, and indoor/low light shots don't properly use HDR so they always look soft. Properly functioning auto-HDR would fix one of these issues
I have the feeling the camera in my HN10 is nearly
nearly as good in my M20X, but specs say M20X is best.
The hyped cameras were one of the reasons I got this phone. The 20x is a great phone and I enjoy using it. but the camera is nowhere near as good as the adverts show.
It beat all the others in the blind camera comparison test on YouTube, so it must be doing something right!
Anyone getting blurred video in the Wide Angle mode?

Question Hinge quality

Hey guys.
How is your hinge on the Fold3 compared when you used a Fold2?
My hinge feels more loose compared to it, not stronger or more tight.
/CK
I mean how does it feel when you open and close it? Tight or loose?
/CK
Hinge is definitely tighter. It is the number one I noticed when I unboxed it and gave it a fold for the first time. Prior to the Fold3 I owned a Fold2 at launch. It should feel noticeably tighter.

It's a great phone. Prior to getting into the Fold2, I traded in my trusty Note 10 Plus and gave my wife my N20U. I hope for the next Fold to include the N20U or S20U's camera hardware.

I don't feel the shots are bad, I've been able to capture nice photos with the rear, I would prefer a longer zoom telephoto. That would come in handy. Otherwise, pics come out solid. B, not an A camera though. Lol. There's a long list of wants for the next iteration of the Fold brand. Camera's is definitely on the list.
Honestly, I can't go back to a normal slab. The first Fold may have been gimmicky, however the Fold 2 and 3 most definitely showcase the progression and I'm all for it especially now with S pen support.

Funny enough in a video I saw they where 3 people doing a comparing with s21 ultra, fold 3 and 12 Pro max and if I remember it right for them fold 3 won and 12 Pro max lost. S21 ultra came 2nd or if it was s21 ultra first and fold 3 2nd can't remember. But 12 Pro max failed in alot of their pictures such as it caused sky behind to be clearly white and other stuff that made them vote 12 Pro max voted out.

don't know about them, but fold 3 cant take pictures if the subject moves even a little, it comes out blurry also most of my photos came out in beauty mode like some kind of paintings. i have turned off all the beauty or enhancer settings
its takes some seconds before processing the images like in 2019 lol
all my above experience is from indoor photos. maybe it performs better in outdoor, will check it tomorrow
but there is no way fold 3 beats iPhone in cam section. period
inner screen is so beautiful

Hey guys.
How is your hinge on the Fold3 compared when you used a Fold2?
My hinge feels more loose compared to it, not stronger or more tight.

Check your settings, set up. Something not right, even my 10+ doesn't lag like that.
Try clearing cam data and clearing the system cache.
Try using the tracking mode for moving subjects. Also pan back a bit to give more depth of field; the closer you are, the less depth of field and less room for AF errors. These are fast lens... your not shooting at f/5.6 or 8.

Tracking mode already on. Still same. Lol my wife still using the 10 plus. Same nightmare camera. Anyway I try the cam outdoors tomorrow. But indoors there's are lot of problems
Anyway I'm not worried about about the cam but i will certainly miss it
We can't have everything right. After using this for few hrs iphone feels like 5yrs behind in technology

Try using any of this junk after shooting with a pro cam and lens
The shutter release sucks unless I use my spen.
They do pretty good. Shooting is more the shooter than camera, learn the cam's limitations.
I got to admit though it's hard to take a bad shot with the Canon 70-200 f/2.8 wide open if you frame the shot right. It just grabs it.

what i mean is, i don't need to do these things(change that this) in 12 pro max, just point and shoot, the shots looks like a pro
but with fold 3 cam i need to be like a statue to take some nice shots

Try using active focus. The shutter lag is long too. It's hard to get a AF lock up on the eye, my Canon AF did that easily most times. You can also try manual focus but unlike a pro cam the phone controls are a true pain to try to use.
I don't buy these phones for their cams so it's not a huge point of contention to me but I do notice it.
Plain Jane iPhone... no way, they bore me to tears. Memory is way over priced as well and they support the CCP.
Samsung Android is a lot easier to suck up.
Samsung is still the most customizable stock phone on the planet... you decide how it looks.
It's a totally different animal that requires more user input and knowledge because of all the freedom to choose.
Learning is easy though... just play with it.
