Low light - HTC U11+ Real Life Review

At the club, at the bar, or just in your mom's basement, nighttime is when you come out to play. Rate this thread to express how the HTC U11+'s camera performs when no or low light is present. A higher rating indicates that the camera sensor "sees" lots of light in dim conditions, and that the resulting photos have minimal noise. A higher rating also indicates that when the flash fires, the resulting photo is evenly-lit without any bright spots.

Too much noise in low light.
My one X9 feels better.

Sadly I have to agree, low light pics do look more grainy than my old Nexus 6P

Is normal to have noise at night, but comparing the shots with my Pixel 2 XL, this U11+ is superior in most of the situations, and I can only imagine about the aperture difference to explain this.

there you go

download and have fun with night shots

Did some lowlight tripod mounted shots recently and found the U11+ to be OK though exposures longer 2secs seems to increase the noise quite a lot even at ISO 100.
Some samples here, both are a single shots and not composites.

This is actually really nice.
Sent from my Honor 8 using XDA Labs
could have been better
Not comparable to honor 8 or iphone 7 but certainly a bwtrer one in this price.
Noisy in dark
But with flash on it takes decent macro shots
But in this price point every phone suffers
I have trued moto Xiaomi and Asus and i can say low light performance is comparable to most of the competition
I never take pictures in low light so I won't care,
low light performance is not that great.but acceptable
Below average low light.
Pretty decent low light performance for a budget phone.

Really good at night, and the noise reduction is pretty good. The night mode tends to oversharpen and mess up the white balance. However, it still adds a ton of dynamic rabge and if held steady, gives you very decent shot half the times. It can't always nail the exposure though, Google does that better with night sight.
Non night mode shots are usually a bit underexposed to save the highlights from blowing out. Sometimes, the Auto Hdr will kuck in , and you will have to hold your phone steady for a second.I find taking hdr pucs rather slow with p20.
There is a decent amount of detail, but sometimes the oversharpening can make it look bad, but of course p20 pro beats p20 by a decent margin because of the quad bayer pixel binning.
The manual mode is really handy for low light. You can even shoot bulb mode(super long exposure), the iso range 50-3200, exposure is +-3, same for the monochrome camera. Manual focusing sucks with the stock camera, as there is no focus peaking.
I prefer using OpenCamera HDR for daytime, it's way better than stock camera app as long as we are talking close to base ISO.

Low light performance is not good; very grainy, colors are bad. Outdoor/daytime pics are decent though.
It's true in that the low light pics aren't the greatest. Still, the image stabilizer works well in low light, and the f1. 8 aperture is a huge help for photos without flash.
Personally, I don't mind some noise in certain low light shots. It adds some old school 35mm film vibe to the photos, which I love.
The quality in low light is very similar to shooting with a Ricoh GRD4. It's grainy but it's usable. I'm still having trouble diffusing the onboard flash without the flash reflecting back to my image, but for now, I use the Aputure ML-M9 to compensate.
Actually the low light performance impressed me big time. I've recently used Moto G6 play, Moto Z, and Moto X 2014. The G6 camera is very comparible to the Moto Z and blows the other two away. Last night I took a pic of my cat in very dim evening lighting. Don't get me wrong, it wasn't pitch dark, but it would have been hard to read a book.

Camera is exceptionally good.. It is performing great in every condition..
I think there is improvement need to be made in this department. Photos are over saturating in low light in default camera modes but are fine if settings are changed.

May I know what are kind of settings I need to change to reduce the over-saturation under low light condition ?
Would anybody be so kind to post some low light shots with the new AIS update? The update is expected to boost the phone’s l camera performance in the dark!
Low light is pretty impressive on the Honor 10. Much better than other phones in it's price range.

Really impressive low light performance as expected.
Night mode portrait shots are unreal. I have been comparing to my wife's pixel 4 and the difference really is night and day

That's interesting that the night mode has better results on the Pixel 5 compared to the Pixel 4. The camera hardware and software are both exactly the same.

You see any problem in display like hitting in outdoors if you use only few minutes

Low light photos taken with the wide lens are horrendous, once the ISO creeps up they are quickly become unusable with terrible noise towards the corners.
Of course you can use night sight and then you don't have a lowlight photo any more.
