Even in the small hours of the morning when the world is asleep, our cities are constantly illuminated. To the naked eye, neon-lit buildings and streets may appear drab and indistinct, but when captured through the lens of the Huawei Maimang 5, the lights and action of the city come to life in vibrant color.
Worn down by the bustling pace of city life, we often forget to appreciate our surroundings. Every time we walk past an empty street or towering skyscraper, we’re missing out. Next time you’re out and about after dark, try pausing for a moment to take in the beauty of the urban nightscape.

Low-light photography is one of the best tests of a camera’s optics. Equipped with nifty features such as optical image stabilization (OIS), the Maimang 5 comes into its own league in the evening, making it an ideal choice for night owls.
The Maimang 5’s star feature is its camera, which sports a large 16 MP Sony sensor. This is 20% more than the Maimang 4, giving rival handsets a run for their money. The back side-illuminated (BSI) sensor layout lets in more light to produce brighter, punchier night-time shots with richer detail. Moreover, the ultra-fast hybrid autofocus takes just 0.3s, while 3-axis OIS technology corrects hand shake to prevent blurring. Other improvements include a dual lens coating which lets in more light and curbs lens flare, ghosting and noise. The Maimang 5’s low-light feature set is crowned by a dual-tone LED flash, which casts a more natural light on subjects.
Below are some sample night shots of the Maimang 5 in action.
Even in low-light conditions, the camera picks up considerable detail.
The colors in this shot are vivid, without looking overexposed.
This photo has a mixture of light and dark areas, creating strong contrasts.
Compose arty shots by framing your subject against a dark backdrop.
honestly.. the camera of this phones sucks in low light..
Huawei is frikking darn good to publish a lot of bla bla bla about their phones and are very very good at posting A LOT of pictures about their camera and camera app
ITS NOT THAT GOOD....poor quality in low light with Nova plus...ive disabled the huawei photo app and using a better one from playstore !
instead of posting a lot of pics on facebook/gplus ect. and all other websites, why dont HUAWEI responds to our different problems explained here...
explanations on new firmware releases...why some things are not working since firmwares were released
why is huawei NOT responding to our emails/bug reports weve sent to the company ???

Say "cheese", then rate this thread to express how photos taken with the Samsung Galaxy S7 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!
pictures looks great ... but there is no detail everything is melted and blended together ... too much software tweaks ... unfortunate - when buying I was expecting something better
Yes. I noticed even viewing Online Demos on my Phone that the S6 Photos were sharper and more detailed than S7.
The S7 in good light seems more similar in Detail to iPhone 6.
Not sure how S7 Camera got such a high rating.
If shooting low light it has advantages but does not seem to equal S6 in good light.
"Three iPhones and a Stripper walk into a Bar."..oh wait...no iPhone jokes...
This camera is unreal. Where my Sony Z3 would struggle this phone shows it's mustard incredibly well. Impeccable detail that is on par with some micro four thirds cameras out there. I'm very very impressed.
I think the pictures are fantastic. Way better than my SGS4 I switched from.
They seem to be the same as my S6 in quality, but better in low light, which is about what I expected. The S7 camera is just a touch better than the S6's from what I can see. Not sure what the other guys are getting, but this is on par with my S6 for sure.
COmpare this to my old phone, the Xperia Z3, the photo quality is much better despite its 12MP camera. The optical stabalization is awesome. i can zoom into an object and the object will stay relatively stable.
wish it was better
by the way, be sure to check out my website
The pictures and videos looks great on the phone but when transferred to PC or uploaded it is not the same. This is because of the AMOLED.
i just moved from lumia 950 to s7 and im very disappointed with pic quality , but apps make it up i guess
Show us the pictures, including why you like the camera or why you are disappointed by it.

The best low light camera phone with f1.8 aperture. Should I skip the DSLR?
Sent from my SM-G935F using XDA-Developers mobile app
Using pro mode
To avoid Samsung high postprocessing with extreme software sharpening i'm using RAW and than convert it with Photoshop. There is much more details in RAW so, picture quality is better.
Try Snap Camera...

After all the hype and rave reviews about the camera, I thought I'd be getting a DSLR quality camera. Using the default settings, the camera isn't that good and overprocesses everything. Pro mode fixes that and RAW photography is excellent though.
I haven't thoroughly tested the phone, I just got it 8-9 hours ago, but initial impressions is it's light years better then my old LG G3.
Is it maybe cause of crappy lighting? every time i take a room in my pictures are all grainy
Im using cm13 and all normal settings on google camera

me with stock asus zen ui
the pictures took by my zen2 also grainy
even worse in low-light condition
Sent from my ASUS_Z00AD using XDA-Developers mobile app
Yeah, low light always make photos grainy, on every phone.
Low light photos are usually grainy. Photos taken in CM are grainier than stock because CM doesn't have full access to all the camera optimisations. The zenfone's toshiba sensor is also pretty poor in dealing with uneven lighting - bright areas get blown out and darker areas get very grainy. I enjoy the photos the zenfone takes in well-lit situations, and just accept its limitations otherwise. It's just a phone camera in a cheap phone, after all.
Yup. Without Pixelmaster's optimizations, you'll get those kinds of pictures.
Grainy pics are due to using a high ISO. On a SLR you fix this by manually turning down the ISO, opening the aperture, and increasing the shutter speed. ALL CELL PHONE CAMERAS SUCK, so if you want better photos buy a Nikon DSLR.
Sent from my ASUS_Z00AD using XDA-Developers mobile app
Yes that is normal for ZF2, and you get same or even worse pics with PixelMaster (what that apparently does is first smudges the grains out and then applies a sharpening filter, so if you zoom in it looks like the picture was painted with a brush). Even if you reduce the ISO and change shutter speed to 1/2 second in manual mode the result is still grainy.
Yeah, I turned off optimization to get rid of the painted look. The digital modifications were awful. Much better to modify the pic in Photoshop.

I've been using the Honor 8x for several months now, and am starting to think that the camera isn't getting the level of attention it deserves. Yes, the AI is unpredictable, and it doesn't have the instant polish of some of the $800+ flagships out there, but it more than does the job.
I took it out for a day in the park with some friends this weekend, and got a ton of fantastic portrait shots and some selfies that I'm quite pleased with. I want to share my 3 favorite shots, as well as some photography tips that I found enormously helpful, and go over which aspects of the 8x camera really worked for me.
Graham: Composition + AI Photography
Full disclosure, I'm no pro photographer. I do know the basics of composition from taking a few years of art classes in high school, but that's it. I don't own a DSLR.
That's why I was so shocked that the photo below turned out so well. I've been used to taking dozens of shots before finding a good one.

The sky looks amazing, and though the grass is a bit too green for my tastes, I was still quite impressed.
To get this shot, I activated the AI photography mode (red arrow), and then went into Settings and turned on an assistive grid. This is a really helpful tool, and I have only ever needed the standard grid (shown below).
Here, I lined up Graham's head with the lower left intersection, keeping the grass in the lower third, the trees in the middle, and the sky in the top third.
In post-editing, I tweaked the photo's hue to reduce the “radiation green” effect, and I'm really happy with the result.
Final product:
Ozzie: Background + Filters
A simple trick I always use when taking photographs of people is to find a simple but contrasting background. To get the photos below, I looked for backgrounds that would contrast well with Ozzie's white hoodie.
In post-editing, I used the Nostalgia and Sharp filters for a social media ready effect.
By the way, there are 37 filters on the Camera app (yes, I counted!). I certainly didn't ask for this many customizations, but they're available, and all of them are adjustable. You can also manually adjust 8 other parameters, and layer effects on top of effects. The possibilities are truly endless.
Faye: Lying Down Selfies + 3D Lighting
I love a good selfie. They're a must on any social media profile, and help you see yourself from another perspective. And the Honor 8x seems like it was custom-made for selfies.
First of all, the Volume down button is a shortcut for the shutter. So you can take one-handed selfies by snapping photos with your thumb or index finger pressing on the Volume down key.
Also, there's a Portrait mode that includes Bokeh, 3D Lighting, and Beautification.
I found 3D lighting to be a source of unlimited fun. The lighting effect is really subtle, and I'm thrilled with all of the selfies I took.
If I had to pick, I'd say my favorite is the Split lighting option, because it makes it look like there's a light source shining from off camera: subtle and ultra-realistic.
For these shots, I had the beauty level set to 2 out of 10.
I took a couple of test shots with beauty set to 10, and the results were, uh…interesting….to say the least!
I also made a recent discovery that's changed the way I approach photography: adjustable 3D Lighting during post-editing. You can move a little sun icon around to determine how the photo is lit, switching between five 3D lighting effects.
Hi,
thinking about getting an fold4,
i'm wondering if anyone could share some full jpg/dng samples? Just landscape or city scene or something
Hard to find some, i just found some processed/resized images here and there in review.
Would make me happy
Thanks & have a nice sunday
I've actually being comparing the photos from the 4 with my old S21U. Essentially the S21U shots are a tiny bit better, but not enough 4 is surprisingly close. Excluding x10 optical zoom ofcourse.
No perceivable shutter lag, though AF isn't as quick as on the S21 U, especially for close up subjects.
Overall am very happy with the shots out of the Fold.
x3 lens full res jpg, first is HDR shot, 2nd portrait mode hand held.

Main lens portait mode and night mode.
thanks a lot,
the grass is not really there, just a muddy greenish plane
but hdr and 3x zoom, still seems quite wide for 3x lens.
the second shot looks better, but. even there is dithering?/ too less color resolution?
portrait mode else looks quite ok to get photoraphs without too much crazy-going colors?
s20 ultra pictures always looked so unrealistic.

If you are talking about the sun set shot, the exposure was unbelievably challenging, I'm actually really happy with what the camera was able to produce. To the naked eye, all you can see is blinding sunlight .
Here are some 'normal' shots, the over warm colors is simply a Samsung thing....see below, wide angle, normal, and x3. These shots are basically the same as what my S21 U would do. Clearly no x10 optical.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with the cameras on the Fold 4.
I also have the S21U and I think the HDR is better on the Fold 4.
Maybe the CPU.
Anyways I took good looking pictures, that was a thing I was worried about
Next time I'm gonna take both my phones to make a real comparison.
Here is some samples in 12 mpx.
