I think this says a lot. Anyone who says our wonderful nexus 6 does not have a good camera is not looking enough at true comparisons. I like how in this video comparison both phones are mounted to the same piece of equipment. The N6 is the clear winner. And I'm not a hater of the other brand.

There is so much wrong with that video I don't even know where to start.
The Nexus impressed me a little with what it was capable of, but giving the Nexus 6 the "point" in video is just absurd. The Nexus 6's OIS and DIS was awful (maybe the N6 disabled DIS on 4k?), and the focus issue (hunting/refocusing) will ruin almost every videos it produces. It also was very noisy in those night shots and that flash is really really bad.
The Daytime shots were nice and some were sharper, but the Nexus tended to have a reddish hue over most shots. It can clearly be seen in anything with a Sky.
Overall the Nexus has a good camera and over time hopefully Google will improve it and fix some of the nagging issues, but saying the Nexus clearly won is an overstatement.
my god, how many camera/photo threads are we going to allow? there's about 6 of them floating around the general section right now.

At least one more thread I guess. But I found this interesting.
What do you guys think of the camera on the DT2? Low light? Video? Attached are some photos I took in low light with flash .. It seems to perform really good.
I haven't gotten a real chance to test it, yet. That picture does look pretty good, though.
It is a HUGE improvement over my maxx. I haven't taken to many pics but what I noticed is if you zoom in it doesn't get grainy.

Just picked it up last night but in comparison to my Edge it is not as quick to capture and low light didn't seem as good but hopefully as a few days go by I will see great pics
According to Dxomark it was rated as the third best camera. It got the same exact rating as the Nexus 6p.

Only bested by the s6 and Z5.
This is seriously a killer phone when u put everything together....
I'm coming from the note 5 and the camera is just as good on the turbo 2. I took Halloween shots and they turned out great. Much improved from the original turbo.

Same here. Coming from a gs6 (same camera as note 5) and the results are negligible to my eyes.
I always wonder about reviewers noting this extreme differences between iPhones and Samsungs vs any other phone.
Camera is a DEFINITE improvement over the orignal Turbo. that my basis of comparison.
Crisper
MUCH FASTER
low light still not amazing, but its a phone camerea, cant expect DLSR performance.
Flash is maybe a bit worse, havent tested quite as much
havent done any video recording or used front camera yet.
I don't take that many pictures, but the camera is definitely better than the turbo 1 was.
I like the camera on my note 5 more, but this one seems fine too.

i think the reason for this is that the Moto cam has been so sub par for so long (saying this as a Moto user) that the quality camera had been really between Sammy and iPhone when it came to large consumer purchase models so its where comparisons would start
I think the camera is good. I just don't care for the software. I'm coming from a note 5 from T-Mobile. I don't like I just can't touch to focus then hit the camera button to take a shot. I always have to drag that yellow circle around to focus my shot. Seems annoying to me. Also I really miss the 1080p 60fps video from the note 5. That made all your videos buttery smooth.
Try camera zoom fx, a better Camera, or camera fv-5. I know they have touch to focus.

I noticed the EXACT same thing. True 21 MP I believe...
I got one to test, and I am comparing it to my N5 from 2013.
It's true that the N5X camera focus waay faster, but it's NOT as instant as the S6/G4 camera for example, unless you're in a situation with a ton of light, you got to wait till it "focus" before shooting. But it is still much faster than the N5, ok.
But in the picture quality category, my N5 makes better fotos than the N5x in this situation (detail). I still don't understand this, but it is true: if I have the patience to focus on the N5, the photo is better than the N5x one (this in middle light situations).
I am not sure if this is normal or what, shooting with the N5 was a hell because the focus issue, but the results were better than the ones im getting with the N5x, even if in low light conditions N5x gets more info.
Why you compare the 300usd device with 500-700usd devices ?
If the 300usd device can do ALL 700usd devices do, why should people buy 700usd one?
As for camera n5 and n5x, i cant comment yet. Im waiting for my friend to bring it over from usa in 2 weeks time.
Based on the review floating on the internet, N5x camera is way better than N5. Probably you get a defective N5x
Today I've tested with a Nexus 6P from a friend, and same case: even in situations with a ton of light, my N5 does photos with more detail distance (but not better real colors and muuch slower focusing..) than this N5X and his N6P. Of course, the photo where you manage to focus...
I don't know why people says that "finally google put one of the best cameras on the Nexus", because the S6 edge from a friend and the Lg G4 from another blowed our N5X and N6P cameras out of the water. And the N6p is as expensive as a S6 edge and more than an LG G4 when they came out.
It's a good camera ok, but it is not at those level (which for me is OK). But the problem is that my Nexus 5 from 2013 is making photos with more detail than those 2!!!! and I don't like this at all . It is a better camera because it doesn't have the epic slow and bad focusing issue and it makes good low light photos and videos, but it is not one of the best on the market as people say! Let's keep things real. However fixing the slow focusing problem alone makes it a worthy upgrade from the N5.

Every review disagrees with you, but picture quality can be subjective. 6p and 5x are regarded as some of the best right now and just about every phone made in the last year made huge strides in camera quality.
What screen are you using to compare the pictures?

Sell it and move to another phone if you dislike it so much.

Love it when someone has no clue what he's talking about. 6P and 5X are in the top10 best camerphones. What have you been drinking???
For my 5x the low light performance has just been incredible.
sell it or swap it. problem solved.
All this talk about photo quality and not one pic??? Show some examples....
Honestly this camera is great, especially comparing to phones around the same price point. Really, if you don't like it try to change it. Play with Manual Camera or Open Camera and see if you like it better.
Just got a N5X, my last phone was a galaxy S5, which had a good camera but there is no comparison, N5X camera its much better in all things. Some reviews put n5x camera better than iPhone 6S, I can't really say that is better but they are at the same level. Just love it. Especially the low light performance, its awesome.

I'm really loving the camera. I came from a 1st gen Moto G and the camera on that wasn't too bad, especially in well lit situations. I'm extremely happy with the 5X camera. The difference is like a foggy day compared to a clear day.

The problem is not with the camera hardware itself just the software and the Google stock camera app. However, it seems that Google is having a hard time solving this issue judging for lack of fixes during the last 4 months. I did returned my Nexus 5x but it was because the combination of this camera issue with a dead pixel (and the suddenly resurrection of my old Nexus 5).
I can't get it, I've had a N4, N5, OPT and N5X and I can say without a doubt that the N5X is the best camera phone I've ever had.
Nevertheless, I had to disagree with any reviewer saying N5 camera was bad, in my opinion one of the best cameras in a phone in its year, way better SGS4 or HOM7, great pictures in almost every condition

Hopefully they will remove the hard limit of shutter speed from the current 0.2s. I'd love to take light trails from this camera.
this is definitely the best camera in any phone i've had period.
Better than my OPO,Gnex, N5, N4, and better than my sister's iPhone 6 and 5.
The camera in my LG G4 was noticeably better. However, the 5X's camera is much better than the one on my iPhone 6s. And it's light years better than every previous Nexus phone I've owned.

Post a comparison of N5 and N5X where N5 is better or it did not happen.
Google nailed the IQ starting at N5X/6P only where is it as good as Galaxy S6 and certainly better than any iPhone offering to this date.

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.

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

So I got a crazy deal on a pixel 2 xl off Craigslist and have been comparing the two phones all weekend. I gotta say I was expecting the pixel too be much better. While it is smoother, but not by much, I'm shocked at how close the cameras are!! I've taken multiple pics and asked my wife to tell me which ones look better. I'd say 6 out of 10 times she picks the essential!! She's even notes that the screen looks better on the ph1.
The first pic is with the essential, portrait mode vs pixel 2 portrait mode.
The pixel and pixel 2 line shines when it comes to low lighting condition. Also video recording using EIS is amazing compared to zero in the essential. Hopefully they enable it soon!

I don't recorded too many videos, mainly use my phone for pics. The sample I posted was in low light and I think the essential pic def looks better.
I know overall when you get crazy into the specs etc the pixel cameras are better. But my point is that they're really close in most cases, sometimes ph1 is better and sometimes the pixel is.
Just wanted to post something since the camera updates cause that's where this phone really gets beat up and I think that's not the case anymore!!!

Oh I totally agreed, the camera is much better now. However, in real low light such as 2700k floor lamp, or night stand light, it struggles horribly and the pics are washed out, and some times have red tint to it. I would upload pics but I am kinda lazy heheh. Will try to post pics later, but I did a huge comparison between gcam hdr+ modes on reddit if u wanna go to see it.
