Love my ZTE Axon 7 but ... - ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers

So far I felt that Axon 7 is great, not just because of what you get for the price tag, but also just raw future-proofing myself with good hardware + daydream capabilities.
My wife just got the new Pixel phone.
I think the pixel's camera is just freaking amazing, beyond any camera I saw in previous phones (asus/samsung) and camera quality is the only issue me and others have with the ZTE Axon 7.
Yes I installed an external app "Snap Camera HDR" which is not bad.
Am I just overreacting here ? thinking about replacing the phone, paying a lot more but getting the best camera I've ever experienced.
Or .. maybe a FW upgrade is still able to fix some of the Axon 7th issues, especially low light.
Has anyone read about plans to improve the camera ?
What do you think about Pixel vs. Axon 7 with regards to camera ?

The pixel better have the best camera since it's $900+...
Who knows, the camera app might get better with nougat

I remember that the HTC M9 was rubbish with his 20mgpxls camera and they managed to improve it with updates so it's possible.
For me, if i want to take great photos, i use my Samsung NX500 camera.
Of course i want my phone to take decent photos but i never look at them elsewhere than on my screen phone so not a big deal.
Plus, i guess most people just upload their photos on social media and that's it

I really thought about it but cant see paying 500 bucks more for a 128 GB pixel XL over the Axon 7 just for a much better camera.
I will wait until next summer if there is a reasonable phone with a bigger battery/camera.

pixel is overpriced. xiaomi mi 5s got the same sensor as pixel - Sony IMX 378.

I'm completely with you Op. I think this is a great device but the camera does make me ask the same question. I usually own one device at a time, for a period of time and u like it to be a one stop shop. This had everything i want except a decent camera and it does bother me. I just don't know how important that is just yet..!

If you want a Axon7 but with a good camera..... spend the extra $500 on a DSLR!

Totally agree with you. You can grab a T6i with the Canon Printer Rebate bundle for 500-600 during this Holiday season which can last for another 5-6 years easily. In my opinion, its not worth spending another 500 just for the camera alone.

Let's see...pay an extra $500 for a better camera to then upload it to Instagram or Facebook at a much lower quality.
I'm not sure how many pictures you guys are taking and who's critiquing them but I personally wouldn't pay extra for a high-quality picture of my lunch, pet or building.

LOL thats sad... So many people are excited to buy a ****ty phone that records audio in 1950's mono sound... Wow. Awesome
Gotta be a idiot to want a Pixel.. Its a Toys R Us cell phone for people who like to spend money...
BTW. I returned my Axon 7 within a week.. Got a Xperia X Performance. Not even goonna look back... Axon could have made a nice product but stopped just short of it..

Same here. Couldn't justify the cost of of the Pixel for the camera. If it's an important event or whatever I carry a real camera.

This phone rocks. I find software is a bit lame and not up with the times.
I'm used to the camera now... And like the guys are saying i use my nikon if i want to take shoots. Just a bit of extra lighting in the night and the pics suffice. Software is a growing gripe 😣

was going to pick up an axon 7 but they are sold out everywhere. even backordered on amazon.

newegg doesn't say they are backordered and for the couple of days its 350 bucks instead of 400 .. but you do have to deal with Newegg and I have heard people have been having issues with them

Newegg has some dope ass deals

I ordered from them just to get the headphones. Unfortunately since I have a Newegg warehouse in my state I had to pay taxes on it.

If you care about high quality camera so much, get a dedicated camera device. Even Pixel will not beat a DSLR. I wouldn't pay difference between Axon7 and Pixel just for camera.

Axon 7 has a great camera under good light. Low light is a whole different world. My s7 edge murders my axon 7 in camera. Everything else this phone can do better. And it's cheaper. I purchased mine from newegg and it was a defect. Now I have to send it in for repair to ZTE. Glad they'll take care of me unlike newEgg ignoring ass. No return or exchange edit: HOWEVER if you turn on the night mode option and have a tripod to hold the phone really steady it takes a great night picture. It is possible.

If you have decent light it still takes a good night pic

Awesome tablet, terrible camera

I've been having fun with this tablet for the past 24 hours (it still still stock...for now), but I went to take a picture and the camera is just terrible. Doesn't seem to have autofocus for what I could find, and no matter what distance I shot it at, the text I was trying to take a picture of just came out blurry.
Hopefully this is something they can update via software otherwise it is just a horrible hardware limitation. Just wanted to share.
Camera is fixed focus. Hardware issue, not fixable with software.

Did you read the reviews on this thing? The cameras were constantly being put down by everyone that reviewed it.

I just take a photo with my HTC Amaze and then BT transfer it to the Tab 2. Takes an extra 20 seconds.
its a 250.00 tablet buy a camera if you want something that takes decnet pics.
always some that have to whi ne and moan over anything
I'm totally fine with the camera, let's face it it's a WiFi only tablet there aren't going to be many people who use one of these who aren't also carrying a smartphone.
Samsung had to make some cuts to the thing to get it to the $250 price point, much better they go for low end camera components than omit a GPS sensor or a front camera or a MicroSD card slot (IMO)
Also IMO taking pictures with a tablet always looks kind of goofy, being 7" it's not as silly looking as a 10" tablet would but still.
yeah I am happy enough with the camera for the price. It was literally a borderline decision so any more cost and I probably would have not purchased.
the odd thing though is that the front camera is awful for skype yet seems to record in far better quality. Which confuses me, its worse than the front camera on my xperia play for skype.
maybe a software issue? should try out some other video chat progs with the front camera to see

Jjust traded it from a Xoom JUST REALIZED I HAVE NO FLASH,!!
Taking pictures with a tablet!? Whats this world coming too!
You folk have just convinced me 85% to get this thing in June. I regret on thing though, the 8gb memory, with the possibility of higher specs of the same to show up soon. Ahww!
Btw not all 8 gbs are available for storage. The system uses some of that. The 7 inch tab can take a 32 gbs sdcard though.
Yes, the camera is awful even for a 3.15 MP one, but my guess is that it seems bad because the lack of flash and the fact that you can see every detail and flaw of the photo on the large screen.
Who walks around taking pictures with a tablet?

I had the Nokia 1020 on AT&T and it is hands down the best camera on a smartphone. But after having it for 2 months I returned it because I couldn't stand Windows Phone. The G4 is the closest to the 1020 that I've ever seen. The manual shutter and iso settings let me get pretty close to the 1020. That phone camera is still better though because of the 41MP and the ability to crop in majorly and still have an amazing photo. I'm not only picking a phone for the camera. It's the sum of the parts. Windows on the 1020 was a major breaking point. The total sum of the parts of the G4 make it better than the S6, in my opinion, not just the camera

Cameras phones on android would be galaxy k zoom which costs a third of of the price of the panasonic lumix cm-1 with its 1 inch sensor. The cm1 did not sell in many countries though and is quite pricey. An RX100 is a fraction of the cost.
i've had the k zoom for nearly a year now and been pleased with it. Nothing beats optical zoom. And it has a xenon flash which is a rarity now a days.
The thing is when you zoom the aperture gets smaller so you need a higher ISO to compensate or you could use a longer shutter which goes up to 16s. with people shots it means higher ISO.
In good light which is where the zoom can be used its the best out there and its OIS beats any other on android. No raw or manual focus though.

If 6p camera = 12mp, will you still buy??

I will be extremely disappointed if huawei uses the same camera that's in the mate s, especially when the huawei 7 has a 21mp currently.I don't care if the phone ends up costing only $500. I currently have a note 5 and the camera is amazing.
Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk
So more MP means better picture quality to you? I would prefer 5MP over 21MP if the Sensor handles it right.

Note 5 camera could be better in low light with neon, mixed light condition. The detail loss somewhere contrast are too strong!

MP count doesn't
equate to picture quality, but it does impact some odd the Dunne details especially when you blow the picture up. I have an A7r & A7rII so I'm very familiar with the dos and don'ts of photography.

Right now the note 5 arguably has the best camera of any smart phone including the 6s.. Bottom line the nexus phones have always had crappy cameras including the nexus 6 which had an 13mp camera. The new nexus should at least match current technology which is a 16mp with f1.9 or a 21mp f2.0.. Having a 12mp is going backwards and it's probably that crappy camera in the already released, old huawei mate s

Don't care thaaat much about how many MP's a camera got. I'll go for quality instead of highest MP any day.
I like a good camera but its low on the 6P spec list for my usage.
On one hand I'd like to see a perfect sensor for 4k video (that should be 12MP no a 4:3 sensor), if possible 4k HDR video, but that should require too much power for a 21MP sensor.. on the other hand the 21MP should give more detail in good light conditions.. so all we want is the best camera on a phone to date (hardware and software wise
wish it would come with the g4 camera. omg that is the best phone camera i have ever seen. too bad i liked nothing else on the g4 lol

It all depends on how they process the images, I dunt expect it to be on par with my DSLR but it will certainly be better than my Nexus 6 is now.
I got mixed feelings about the nexus phone this year. May be because I no longer have crazy desire to flash new roms. Mostly try to stay as stock as possible. Even batteries have got bigger, so I find no need for custom kernels either. Camera will not be top of the line, screen I am not sure what quality it has... also when I see that Huawei is the one making the phone, I freak out. We got Google which is best information collection source for U.S and Huawei which serves Chinese government. 2 red flags

Using a 19 or 21mp camera won't necessarily improve your pictures.. by your logic, the iPhone 6S's 12mp/f2.2 camera is last generation too.. yet it consistently takes some of the best pics around

I mentioned nothing about having OIS
not having OIS really makes me consider walking away... I'm going to order a 64gb as soon as they go on sale tomorrow, but I'm sure they won't ship them until October which gives me time to cancel.... I can move pass the 12mp and lack of wireless charging, but really no OIS...
same thing, i'll pre-order it tomorrow and wait for the camera's feedback of the Z5P

Is the camera this bad?

I've heard too many negative reviews about the camera and that it can be a deal breaker..so which camera is better iphone 6's camera or the axon 7's camera?
Bought the phone because previous one was stolen few days before I went traveling in China. Been more than happy with the pictures it takes. Panorama is cool too. It struggled with low light, but it improving noticably with every update.
Uploaded a few pics from a national park in China for you. You be the judge. All pics were made with auto mode.

I have to say though. The iPhone costs $300 more. If you care so much go for the Galaxy S7 for camera (and Android)
Actually not that bad
I remember hearing tons of negative reviews on the camera and being worried that it wasn't going to be that good but after using the phone for about a week I can honestly say the camera is pretty good. It does struggle a bit in low light, though but that's simply because of the amount of megapixels. In my opinion, some reviewers are just a bit picky

I'm coming from a Nexus 6P and the Axon 7 camera just doesn't compare, especially in low light. The 6P had a great camera. That being said, since B27 came out things have improved noticeably and while the camera still isn't ad good as the 6P, it's more usable now and does produce decent enough shots in low and pretty good ones in good light.
Sent from my ZTE A2017U using Tapatalk
Low light scenes are very challenging for the camera. ZTE really need to improve the HDR processing, where it can't touch 2015's Nexus phones and where it trails the much cheaper Honor 7.
There's not much sun where I am and I'm really noticing the difference.
You can certainly get better-looking results by playing with white balance in manual mode but that won't help you if you want to snap a darker foreground without blowing out all the background detail - a trick the Nexus phones' HDR+ excels at. I know they are deadly slow but I'd be happy to put up with much longer exposure times if it meant better pictures.
Could you please provide some selfie snaps as I'm kindda of a selfie guy?
Also I currently have the iPhone 5 so if the axon's camera is worse than the iphone 5 I might go with the oneplus 3 even though I hate its 1080p screen

Extremely Disappointed with the Camera

I come from LG G4 and the only reason to buy this phone was the camera for me and boy do I hate the goddamn camera on this phone! I loathe both the Rear and Front camera shots. I hate that their image processing is terrible. Their implementation of noise reduction algorithm is horrible for the front camera, and the lack of OIS doesn't help with the shots.
So I guess I am stuck with using pro mode - clicking RAW and processing just to avoid their horrible software implementation.
I just want to get rid of this phone or I prolly will end up using this as a backup phone just for its dash charging ! That is the only thing good thing about this device.
My LG G4 shots here - https://www.flickr.com/photos/giripix/with/37340217741/
I don't have any pictures to compare with OP5 cos the camera is so horrendous !
At this stage of the phone being released 3 months ago you should've already known about the camera 'qualities' from reviews?!
Dont you go for reviews prior to purchasing anything.
The camera isnt that bad, has got better with updates, and here at XDA, smartphones are a lot more than just a camera device.
you bought the phone because of the camera but didn't do enough research for it.
Most people buy this phone because of the Google stock feeling or the overall performance and dev support of the phone.
If you bought it just for the camera might aswel return it ^.^
Agreed with the users that have replied thus far. If you read enough reviews you would know the camera didn't live up to its hype post launch. That's not to say it's a bad camera by any means, but it should have given you a better idea of whether or not this device is for you.
If your primary purchasing factor is the camera, the Google Pixel or Galaxy S8 would have been better options.
Personally I don't find the camera to be that bad, it's really solid in good lighting as well, but to each their own!
The front camera is one of the better ones I've used, and the rear camera isn't "bad" (though could be better).

Who buys a phone for its camera? Its not a primary feature of any phone seeing how its so small it will never receive optimal amounts of light or have a large enough lens to get quality shots at all in any circumstances. Buy a phone for software not hardware. If hardware is nice consider it a bonus. A really good camera is only about 150 dollars. Just carry a nikon around.
Actually, OnePlus heavily marketed the camera; even making a note of it on the sides of the box. It's no surprise at least some people would have bought this thinking the camera was top-notch.

a senior member on xda and no research before purchase
why don't you go an get this https://www.ebay.com/p/LG-G4-H815-32GB-Metallic-Gray-Unlocked-Smartphone/218349514
It's a SMARTPHONE camera. It's never going to replace a DSLR. Its actually a good camera. I don't have a problem with the quality at all (though I'm an enthusiast Photographer and know that no phone camera will like a DSLR). Most of the reviews flame the camera as much worse then it really is. That being said... It's totally the OP's fault for there are 50 or more YouTube video reviews on the camera.
To say it's the worst phone you've bought... lol you sound bitter as this phone is the fastest, smoothest phone out there with the best battery and fastest charging phone out there. It's got a very good display, but not the best. I think that is really the only area this phone lags behind flagships... the display.
Im finding it about on par with my I7, slightly worse in low light but focuses much faster.
Worse than my note 8, better than my XZp
It's like the only device that had day 1 reviews from tons of known reviewers so you had all the time in the world to research about the product you're buying and yet you didn't. Yeah camera is crap compared to other flagships, we don't care, move along.
I don't mind the camera, it's decent.
How can you be "extremely disappointed" ?
I receive my OP5 about a week ago and is by far the best smartphone I ever had in term of photos.
I'm coming from a Galaxy S6 how he's a "one of the best photos taker". He has a better camera that the LG G4 if you read the reviews. The best part it's that I think the S6 has a decent rear camera and a awful front camera who made your skin like a doll. Do you know why ? Because Samsung use a simple trick to avoid the noise in the photos : blur all the picture in low light and we can tell that our phones are really good in low light. I can tell you that this phone is really, but really better that my previous S6.
But I have compared with a S7 too (the S8 have the same lens and is considered one of the best photos takers of the market) and a iPhone 6s. He out-performed well all this phones. I don't even talk about the front camera who is simply the best in the market.
The only issue with the rear camera is in the low light, but this can be fixed with the Pro mode or the Google Camera modded with HDR+.
