Zenfone 6 “camera review”(with comparison to Nexus 5x and [a bit] Samsung S8)
Introduction:
I was looking for a good successor to my worn out Nexus 5X. I’ve been using it for over 2 years, and although camera is still good, it slowed down a lot, and its battery gives me 2,5 to 3h sot daily. Ideally, the camera should not be worse and battery should be(much) better. It should have clean Android and quick updates. I almost bought OnePlus 7, but it’s front cam with shallow depth of field(no group selfies?) and lack of headphone jack held me back. I didn’t care much about the screen, amoled would be good, but good IPS would be fine too. Then Zenfone 6 came. Huge battery - check, best selfie cam ever - check, probably camera at least as good as the one in Nexus with Gcam - maybe check, IPS - alright, headphone jack - CHECK, top specs - check. So I bought it from Asus Eshop. Below i will try to compare Zenfone 6 to my Nexus 5x, and as bonus(camera wise) - Samsung Galaxy S8.
Camera:
Hardware: Swivel camera… to be honest, I’m giving Asus a leap of faith. The idea is brilliant and it works. It’s fast enough, but it’s not very quiet. In quiet room people near you will hear that something’s cookin’. Though I have to say that it is not annoying in any way and it doesn’t bother me. Time will tell how prone to failure it will be. It’s comforting to know that you can open the cam by hand(I didn’t try it, but saw it on youtube), and it seems durable(also saw it on youtube) - https://youtu.be/GDEpyumGnA8?t=980 .
- Camera2 Api: LEVEL_FULL (pity not LEVEL_3 )
Software:
Data:
- ISO : 25 - 3200
- max shutter: 33 sec in ProShot, 1 sec in Lightroom, 32 sec in stock app
- raw: available in Lightroom, stock app and openCamera. Pro-shot doesn’t save, Footej Camera crashes(fix in next release). Raw available only in 48MP.
- not all third party apps work flawlessly.
Pictures and tests:
1.) Comparison of HDR modes of Zenfone 6:
NO HDR - usually offers the most true to life colors.
HDR+ - turns on automatically if option “HDR+” is on, or is always turned on if “HDR+ Enhanced” is on. Tends to create oversaturated pictures. Saves highlights and shadows. No shutter lag.
HDR+ Enhanced - turns on automatically(if there is too much shadows in the picture propably). Tends to create less oversaturated pictures than HDR+. What i’ve noticed is that it tends to recover shadows better than HDR+, but highlights are it’s weakness. My tactic: underexpose the picture. Unfortunately it doesn’t always turn on.
NIGHT - indoors in bright light it seems to work similarly to HDR+. At night - unfortunately we lose a tiny bit of details BUT we get much less noise and higher dynamic range. In daylight it doesn't turn on at all.

In my opinion HDR+Enhanced offers the best picture here. Night-mode offers best dynamic range but with loss of details and an ugly bonus.
Picture B(not hand-held):
https://imgur.com/1zHAoqt
Here we don’t see those awful artifacts on Night mode. In my opinion HDR+Enhanced offers the most natural picture, but still with a bit oversaturated colors.
Picture C(hand-held, ISO below 42, shutter around 1/150s - 1/180s):
https://imgur.com/a/Ft0YXSO
The most natural colors were produced by HDR+Enhanced again.
Picture D(not hand-held)
https://imgur.com/a/lASyaP7
True night. Night mode offers the most realistic colors. HDR+ and HDR+Enhanced - I don’t see much difference, the sky seems more blue in HDR+.
HDR+ - 1/10s, ISO: 2929
HDR+ Enhanced - 1/10s, ISO: 2973
Night - 1/12.5s, ISO 3019
Picture E(hand-held)
https://imgur.com/a/tL443k3
The biggest amount of details in HDR+Enhanced, colors - small difference between modes.
All are a bit oversaturated.
No HDR+ - 1/33.3s, ISO: 138
HDR+ - 1/33.3s, ISO: 199
HDR+ Enhanced - 1/50, ISO: 134
Night - 1/14.3s, ISO 144
Picture F(hand-held)
https://imgur.com/gallery/tClrnaE
Not much difference between HDR+ and HDR+Enhanced, largest amount of details.
Night mode, least amount of small details, largest dynamic range.
Picture E(hand-held)
https://imgur.com/gallery/TBXQeMC
Here we can see the oversaturation and unpredictable behaviour of HDR+ modes. HDR+Enhanced oversaturated everything, blown out highlights and we didn’t gain any details in the shadows.
Summary:
- inconsistency with color reproduction between different modes
- oversaturation of colors in HDR modes gives unnatural look
- overall inconsistency in HDR mechanic
- if color reproduction is good, then pictures are more or less fine but looking forward to future camera updates
- we don’t have full control when HDR+Enhanced or HDR+ will turn on.
- Night Mode - loss of small details and noise, but the highest dynamic range. Doesn’t turn on in daylight, turns on indoors in bright light and works like HDR+, in low light it takes time to capture but gives the best dynamic range.
2.) Raw files(comparison)
We can get raw files from opencamera, lightroom and of course stock app, few other apps crashed. Unfortunately we only get 48MP version of them. Why unfortunately? Due to the construction of the sensor we get the best image if it binds pixels - high dynamic range in daylight and low noise in low light.
But still? How does it’s 1/2 inch sensor with f/1.8 compare to Samsung’s 1/2.55 sensor behind f/1,7, and Nexus’ 1/2.3 inch sensor behind f/2.0. I shoot those photos on base ISO with similar exposure. Only things I’ve done in dng files was brightening the shadows and recovering highlights.

It seems that Asus wins here hands down. Less noise, bigger dynamic range. Nexus comes at second place with higher noise and smaller dynamic range and Samsung comes last. Though, we have to say that all phones have different min ISO levels. Asus is at 25, Samsung at 50 and Nexus at 60. So how will they fare at same ISO levels?
Picture B(not hand-held, same ISO)
https://imgur.com/KUZ1F91
In dynamic range new Zenfone wins. In details it seems that both Nexus and Samsung have a little bit better lenses. In Zenfone we can also see some kind of banding(probably every phone with Sony IMX586 is prone to that). The prettiest noise(by small margin) has Nexus in my opinion.
3.) Comparison to Nexus gcam(custom app with HDR set to High).
Picture A(hand-held)
https://imgur.com/vuBYUbO
I’m surprised. Yeah, Nexus seems to have a tiny bit more details in some areas, but Asus wins in dynamic range. Asus said that HDR+Enhanced works similarly to Gcams HDR Enhanced. Hehe… looking at those pictures it seems they are right.
Picture B(hand-held)
https://imgur.com/dyD5v64
Now, here’s where gcam wins. Better colors, better details. Asus oversaturated on both pictures, lost a bit of details(but has less noise). Moreover HDR+ picture is worse than the more natural one without any HDR mechanisms.
Picture C(hand-held - very low light)
https://imgur.com/NrDAAFV
In my opinion Asus-Night mode wins. Although I’m not using night-sight on Nexus(it doesn’t work on it), i am using a custom gcam with hdr set to high(takes more frames). Asus is cleaner and it has a bit more details.
Picture D(hand-held - street light)
https://imgur.com/bbIMroz
Although on Nexus we get a bit more details in the darker part of the image, Asus created a more pleasing image imo. More natural colors with more details all around.
Picture E(hand-held - street light)
https://imgur.com/a/VLhRAow
Nexus with gcam has a bit more details, but Asus wins hands down with dynamic range in Night mode. Non-night mode pictures from Asus are prone to camera shake - no ois.
Summary(no night-sight on Nexus!):
- gcam on Nexus usually offers better colors in day, indoor and evening conditions
- gcam on Nexus usually offers more details in day, indoor and evening conditions
- gcam on Nexus is simply consistent with the results, you know what to expect
- dynamic range on Asus is better
- night-mode on Asus better than custom gcam on Nexus with HDR+ Enhanced set to High
- Asus needs to work on colors(!), and maybe lessen a bit noise reduction.
4.) Wide-cam:
Umm… it’s cool, although quality wise nothing special. Great for selfies with friends!
I like it. You can see pictures from it on my google drive.(link at the bottom)
Screen:
I’m not disappointed but I’m not delighted either. It’s brighter that the one on Nexus 5x, but it wasn’t difficult for Zenfone, as the screen in Nexus wasn’t very bright anyway(455 cd/m2 according to GSMArena). Color wise, the difference isn’t huge, although Zenfone is a bit colder. Nexus has very good color rendering according to GSMArena.
I’ve tried to match my Nexus 5x so I’ve changed it accordingly:
https://imgur.com/w2L6zDh
But it’s still no the same. RGB controls would be nice :3.
Battery:
I’ve charged the battery yesterday(05.06.2019) around 19:07 to 100% - that was 4848 mAh according to AIDA64 and 4649 mAh according to AccuBattery( Oo -> ).
https://imgur.com/ngMaYuj
https://imgur.com/SuzpiI7
I’ve taken a lot of pictures and used it extensively. Now it is 22:54(06.06.2019) and i’ve got around 6%. My SOT is around 8 hours. With that 6% i could probably get another 30 minutes.
https://imgur.com/qGFjfwJ

https://imgur.com/FhlAVr3
Sound:
I can’t compare it to Samsung as I don’t have it anymore, but comparing it to Nexus it’s much lounder and cleaner with better bass.
Speed:
Well, it has top specs… it’s fast for me. Night and day difference between Nexus and Zenfone…
Summary:
I like it. Waiting for gcam and Asus future updates for the camera.
Link to my google drive with pictures(more to come I hope):

Well thanks a lot for your feedback !
I was waiting since 3 weeks for a review like that !
Enjoy your new phone !
I have pretty much the same impressions. The problems with HDR do not seem that hard to fix through sowtqre updates. And a gcam port would be very interesting. When I bought the pixel 2lXL the camera was decent and many Google updates made it amazing.
Software is great to me, I like it better than the pixel. Battery life is not as amazing as you could think but is very confortable and may improve with updates. Not the best screen but is will be good enough for a lot of people I guess.
I don't regret purchasing it
thank you! so the camera is above average for 2019? what about eis? have you had blurry pictures?

Wow, this is a precise review of the highest level, thank you very much for sharing your great work and so much time!
From your photos I noticed that you tested with WW_16.1210.1904.116 firmware.
Now there is a new one: WW-16.1210.1904.133
I am still waiting for my ZF6.

Indeed. I've received it today. Except night mode available with wide cam i don't see any other difference yet.
Woah... ok. Today I've discovered than NightMode detects if the phone is on a tripod. If it is, then the resulting image is much better. Comparison:
https://imgur.com/BedBDGV
NightMode tripod:
1/12,5s
49 ISO ( - due to pictures merge probably)
NightMode handheld:
1/10s
3200 ISO
Unfortunately calculations take a really long time and viewfinder freezes for a bit. It wouldn't be a problem if after finishing taking photos you could take your phone to do other stuff, but it seems that although progress bar has disappeared the phone is still taking photos, because if you move it you might get a messed up picture.
https://i.imgur.com/st9IGEt.jpg
Oh and well, I'm very satisfied with that phone . Although I'm not getting that magical 13h SOT. Usually 7,5-9h SOT.
I love the wide angle camera in selfie mode .
Edit. Another comparison of night modes. This time all of them are on tripod.
First one is without this super night mode, second with it, and last with 4s manual exposure.
https://imgur.com/q5k9xSB
It can be easily noticed that super night mode is superior even to 4s exposure. Yeah the 4s exposure might be a tiny bit sharper, but super night mode offers much wider dynamic range.
Google Gcam first test.
https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/dev-arnova8G2-beta/#apk936
Gcam's settings:
Back and front cam: Pixel 3XL
Custom libs: Fi v2
Quality HDR+: Super High
Picture A(tunnel):
https://imgur.com/Nzif8cr
top left - Google Gcam HDR Enhanced
bottom left - Asus HDR+Enhanced
right - Google Gcam HDR Enhanced RAW edited to taste in lightroom
The difference isn't'as pronounced as I thought.
We see difference in sharpening and noise reduction, both of those are higher on Asus.
We have a tiny bit more details on Gcam.
Picture B(dynamic range):
https://imgur.com/pMfIUU4
top - Asus HDR+
bottom - Google Gcam HDR Enhanced
Surprisingly Asus has better dynamic range here.
Details are better on Gcam.
Picture C(daylight dynamic range):
https://imgur.com/vFyte1p
top - gcam HDR Enhanced
bottom - asus HDR+Enhanced
Gcam stacks more photos(and it takes longer). More details and 48mb resolution.
Gcam has also more realistic color of the car. Asus is less saturated here surprisingly.
Dynamic range is similar.
Picture D(low light - tripod):
https://imgur.com/QIfoImT
top - gcam HDR Enhanced(night mode doesn't work and i doubt it will change anything)
bottom - Asus Night Mode
Certainly much more details on Gcam. Unfortunately Asus' Super Night Mode didn't turn on.
Picture E(low light - hand held):
https://imgur.com/Ptoo2t5
top - Asus Night Mode
bottom - gcam HDR Enhanced
Unfortunately gcam lowers shutter speed down to 1/6s. I was able to force it to use 1/10s but the noise increased and it didn't change much.
Furthermore, gcam's HDR quality settings don't change how many frames will it take in low light. It you set it to low or super high it doesn't change anything. Here in my opinion Asus wins.
Picture F(evening - gcam 12mp vs 48mp):
https://imgur.com/iwKvb1z
No point in shooting in 12mp .
Picture G(evening gcam 48mp vs Asus):
https://imgur.com/jvCOQd6
top left - Asus Night
top right - Asus HDR+Enhanced
bottom left - Asus HDR+
bottom right - Gcam 48mp Super Hight HDR+Enhanced
Gcam obliterates Asus' software here.
Summary:
- gcam offers better details and colors in super high mode...
- ...but TAKES A LOT longer to process(duh)
- gcam in beta 2 is still unstable, viewfinder lags a lot
- Asus sometimes offers better dynamic range(when HDR+ kicks in)
- Asus is better in very low light due to Nigh Mode which works better without OIS when smartphone is hand-held and because gcam limits the amount of frames taken :/
Great review!
For stock camera app, I've noticed HDR+ enhanced mode in auto isn't really suitable for low light.
The night mode setting is better for that scenario (would assume obviously) but takes a little longer.
I don't have any comparisons but feels like night mode got better vs when I got the phone , with the updates.
Can you please send me information of the camera2api using camera2probe? I'm curious about how it handles rotating camera id

From which app exactly you need its output?
When I searched for camera2probe a bunch apps pops up.

Hey ppls, compared the video properties from the iphone 4, 4s, HOX.
Iphone 4: 1280 X 720,
Total Bitrate: 10831kbps @ 29fps
Iphone 4s: 1920 X 1080
Total Bitrate: 24618kbps @29fps
HOX: 1920 X 1088
Total Bitrate: 10197kbps @ 23fps
The 4s wipes the table with the HOX i would also say that the 4 with 720p looks better. Overall i still like my HOX over my 4,4s, if i install a custom rom would that increase the kbps??
This mod will increase the kbps to 43118 a.k.a. 42MBPS. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1765416
I believe it's possible to mod the Note 3 camera.apk or use Focal to record at 4096x2160 which is 4k, what they advertise is Quad HD but they say it's 4k but It's not the case.

Ultra HD 4K is defined as 3840 × 2160, which is what the Note 3 records at. You're referring to Digital Cinema 4K, which is what's shown at movie theaters. 3840 x 2160 is still 4x the pixels of 1080p, which is what 4k means anyway.
A 5.5 inch display at 3840 x 2160 yields 801 ppi, not 806. The display would have to be exactly 5.465 inches diagonally in order to yield 806 rounded off to the nearest whole number (both 5.46 and 5.47 will not). So why is Sony advertising it as 806?

it could be the dpi settings that the device uses
my Sony Xperia Z2 is 443 DPI but its advertised as 480 dpi and also has the dpi set to 480 in the system
perhaps the Z5 uses 806 DPI to make the UI not glitch out as it does with odd proportions when it comes to android/Sonys UI

Hmm possible. But shouldn't actual pixels instead of software setting be advertised?

not sure, its fully legal to advertise how many pixels the device renders and/or how many the display shows
1080p 60FPS why not 12mp?
1920 × 1920 = ~3.7 million, hence the 3.7 megapixel
