The camera is the one thing that worries me the most when I think about whether or not to get the M9 and the more samples I see of it the less convinced I am (even more so when I see Galaxy S6 samples). I really am keen to see full reviews of the device to be sure...

Once more: the HTC One M9 does not have final software. The quality will improve as it has in the last couple of days.

I know, which is why I say I'm waiting for the full reviews to come out.
The camera has never been a stong selling point on the HTC One. If this is very important to you, then i definitely would go with the S6. Considering all the pros and cons, the HTC One M9 is still the best fit for me.
On the plus side the iPhone looked better than BOTH the M9 and the GS6. The GS6 shots were too warm while the M9 shots just weren't good. They are mediocre, which is unfortunate and sadly reminds me of using a Sony Xperia Z3 in terms of color reproduction, clarity and image.
Good sigh of relief that Samsung's camera can be good with tweaks versus the iPhone you can take out and just point and shoot.
M9 seemed to have higher than usual exposure settings resulting in slightly whited out images (especially the first one in that link), nothing that can't be corrected software side by proper calibration - at this stage I wouldn't be concerned about the camera.
I'm sure that everyone will be happy their M9 cameras (rear and front ). Not sure if it could best S6 but iphone 6 will not be an issue.
Have both s6 edge and m9 on order, and hope and think they will do better with final software. Use the iPhone 6+ as my daily device atm and the camera is very solid. So even with the new "camera" or optics I think both HTC and Samsung have to work to beat the iPhone, as it just do good pictures most of the time and easy and fast camera ui/focus.

Glad you said that, I thought it was just me, apart from the one of the news stand, which on my monitor appeared quite blurred, verging on out of focus even, I just preferred the "look" or feel of the HTC pictures. In all honesty, none of them are poor at all and I would be happy with using any of them as daily shooters to be fair.
One hopes that both
Samsung and HTC don't increase the price by another 10k like they did last year..........actually if they do then Note4 suddenly becomes a interesting option..

I read most of the comments before I saw the photos.
To be honest I didn't find and big differences between iPhone and M9 and I was expecting bad photos from the iPhone.
Having in mind that the iPhone has a final software and also that Apple always auto-enhances its photos, I don't see any problems with M9 in these samples.

I was at the Philadelphia Flower Show last weekend taking photos with my test M9. At least two iphone users admired the shots I took and the screen on the device.

Yes, the M9's screen is markedly better than my M8. It's the same pixel density, but it's more bright, and does not wash out as much outside as the M8's can.

We get FOTA's every 36-48 hours (thankfully, not requiring a full factory reset). The camera algorithms have improved stability and quality steadily since I first started with the unit in January. This past weekend's shots were exceptional.

Not really. Comparing photos online is a variable of what monitors are being used, etc. The pixel densities don't match, the shots have to be of the same subjects. I haven't seen the S6 samples, I can only compare images between my M8, an HTC Re, and a Nexus 7

This place saved some of the videos and pictures from the Reddit post. The night shot picture comparison looks really good. The 6P looks decent, but when you expand the pictures the Pixel shows a lot less grain and a lot more detail.

It sure does, but I remember reading on Reddit earlier that HDR+ was not being utilized by accident at some point on the 6P. So I wonder if that shot from the 6P used HDR+ or not... if it did, that's a huge increase in image quality... like, best low light smartphone camera in the world quality. But if the 6P didn't use HDR+ in that shot, then the comparison is useless.
I think he got deleted and the video is gone I think as well
This weekend, I was able to attend my first live shows since I have gotten my Pixel XL. Here are some samples from what I was able to record. This was at the Untapped Beer Festival in Dallas.
I always appreciate a phone with a camera that can capture footage from live shows nicely, and to me, the Pixel XL absolutely nails it!

Wow. pretty spectacular!!! I can see I'm going to have to increase my home internet speed cause I was unable to watch this in 4k or rather I wasn't patient enough to wait for it to buffer. Maybe I'll receive my pixel this week. At least the one I ordered for mom will be here today and I can mess around with it

So, on this stage, the bass hit really really hard. Like it shook you down to your shoes. I don't think any camera would have been able to withstand this.

I just made some outdoor music recordings (downtown Vegas) and can agree with the OP, the Pixel XL rocks. The sound and video quality is great. The music I recorded was mega loud with a lot of bass and it sounds great with no static or clipping. If I were smarter I could post it here https://youtu.be/eIPGEYzI0Qg
nice!
It has best camera according to dx0
I think we'll have first highest scoring HTC Device that is explained by Dxomark, as being HTC Users we expressed constantly dissatisfaction about camera up till now.

We've all heard this line before..... First with the UltraPixels and then with the HTC 10.. Both disappointed most.. They need to get this one right with the first release and get positive press or it will go down as another fail.. I ordered one and can't wait to see how it compares with my Pixel XL and GS8.

Definitely want to see a low-light motion blur comparison against Galaxy S8, Galaxy S7, "Google" Pixel, and HTC 10. Full light, they will all be outstanding or at least more than adequate... it's the low light shots that are the differentiators, more specifically the low light with motion and minimal blurring.
Also curious if HTC has moved toward time stamp filenames for photos and videos or if they're still using cryptic filenames.

I don't honesty judge based on the article thoughts I rather compare both. Both phones are indeed head to head. I can hardly see any difference unless you go for a hair splitting and go pixels to compare.
HTC did it. I am so glad for them.
Already - accidentally opened a new thread and posted two photos here.
Will try to get some more better shots soon, Here the outdoor temperature revolves close to 40 C and will hit high 40's quite soon. So outdoor strolling is not an option anymore unfortunately.

@narenrata24
hmmmm no one give Sony credits they are using sony cameras... Samsung front and htc google pixel back and front htc u11 using back and front lens sensor
so this credits belong to sony reather then htc,sam or google
atleast sam have the courage to say they are using it htc keep it low profile so they dont lose reputation in fact this years have been struggling in camera department:silly:
@altvolt74 I personally apologize for ruining Sony reputation. Since my post Sony stock took a dive and now everyone thinks its not them who makes HTC cameras. Seriously you must be one honest loyalist. I am giving you credit for that. You cheered me up
Can we have photos in here please
They use Sony Lenses. The Software is programmed by HTC and is a huge part of it.

Just received mine today. Ordered yesterday from Carphone warehouse.
Obviously a crap subject but this is the very first photo. I'm impressed with the phone on a whole, goodbye LG g6 and hello HTC 11.
Will take plenty more photos over the weekend and post.
Seems like camera has an issue with video recording, it shows white screen if you use digital zoom during the recording:
Also, should I make a separate thread for this?
Taken when the sun was disappearing in the evening. Will try to upload a full res link.
The clouds have practically no noise in them, well in my my eyes.

"Hi guys I'm Nick Gray" should confirm that one.
More seriously I would be curious to see if the experience would be the same if you had the camera.apk from the U11+ (as Leedroid does)
Thanks Nick for your reviews
If anyone has any questions, please let me know. Working on more videos for the next few days. Pixel 2 photo comparison in the works for tomorrow.

It won't be the same bcoz U11+ is running with Android Oreo with new camera driver, not only the camera.apk got updated.
Love your reviews!
I' overlapped some of your photos and IMO u11+ is a bit sharper =)
I've also checked the U11+ vs. Pixel 2 video and downloaded the original size of photo. If you view the photo on a large computer monitor, you will find that Pixel 2 HDR+ isn't real better than U11/U11+ in all conditions.
U11/U11+ auto HDR+ will try to keep the black level and tend to reflect the real lighting environment. The google HDR+ will just bump the dynamic range and bright up the photo though it is real eye catching but not realistic in some scenes. The same result been found when I'm using the ported pixel2 gcam on my U11. I'll call both HTC and Google HDR+ is 50/50, in day light I more prefer HTC HDR and only use Google HDR in real low light. I recommend to buy U11/U11+ bcoz we can use both HTC HDR and Google HDR and in HTC pro mode, you can adjust many settings which the Pixel 2 won't give you access to it.
I real like the Pixel 2 mainly bcoz the 5" smaller in size and will get a camera upgrade later when the google image chip being active. During video recording, Pixel2 EIS+OIS is real nice but U11/U11+ got four microphones just blow the Pixel 2 away when it comes to the audio quality, nowhere near the U11/U11+ level.

would be really good if you could do an audio review on the dongles (HTC U11+ dongle vs Pixel 2 dongle).
Could anybody notice significant improvement in camera on U11+ over regular U11?
And off-topic since you already own an HTC U11+, is there a significant improvement in battery department? I would be interested in your average SOT.
Thanks in advance!

One of the review from HK said that the U11+ camera got a noticeable improved focus but I think after our U11 updated to 8.0 will get the same improvement too.
I like the pictures on the u11+ better, they look contrast-richer and also it looks liek the camera is able to focus better, you can see that some of the u11's pictures look a bit blrry in comparison to the ones on the u11+, hopefully HTC will issue a camera update for the u11 as well, one can only hope! :fingers-crossed:
Big thanks to Nick for perfect reviews. I am really starting to want U11+ . U11 and U11+ Camera looks to me same.
