This device performs poorly in low light. luckily the Ultra has a front facing flash.
It's pretty grainy under low light rooted or not. Root doesn't affect the noise.
I shot an hd video in very low light on Lineage 17 fw 50.2. And Yes poor performance and poor results. That's just the name of the game in most midrangers though.

That's not true. Let me give you some better examples:
Pixel 3a
Motorola One Action / Vision
Xiaomi Mi A2 (Lite)
and more. Heck even low end phones produce better result than this Pixel Mess left and right. Upscaled 20MP my ass ...
I'd say the Sony Camera Framework is the worst I've come accross in the recent years in regards to handling Noise and different situations including Manual Control on Stock (heck even cheap ass Huawei/Honor devices are better then this), and yes - its just the Camera Framework (underlying) nothing more, nothing less.
It wouldn't be that bad if their ASOP blobs would be properly working since these give full Camera2 API access including RAW-Support - theoretically -
but as it is now Android 9 was unstable and Android 10 it doesn't competely work at all due to a Hardware Resource Bug.
Mind you that there's hope since there's now an official Pixel Experience ROM for this Device Range on Android 10 - so once it will be fixed (if they ever fix it) it will be usable and the rest of it stable.
But that's a big if.
The should fire the team responsible for camera framework development.
All of which I've never used.
Owned a Nokia 6.1, meh. However it was way better than the Xperia here for the price.
Owned a moto z2 play. Similar results but better than the Xperia.
My point being is that I was on a custom ROM. I DID NOT expect much anyway. I rolled back to the stock Rom and stills were improved and video recording smoothed out too.
I think you'd have to subjectively list those phones all running the same custom ROM and determine which one takes home the medal with camera performance. Otherwise yes my statement was not true.

The Pro mod adds a lot to the scence, it easier to capture good photos in low light with Note 5, but it can't hold a candle to the mighty G4 camera at low light, i have many photos with G4 and some with note 5, G4 wins easy, but Note 5 still does a good job.

From what I have seen the G4 does better at close up things, maybe motion...I don't know about that. But in other cases with exposure and further away the Note seems to take the lead.
At dim room light it seems to be a big toss up....except again with close ups where the G4 seems to take a lead.
i agree my G4 does have better result in low light for preset option. not sure if in pro mode though.
So I've been KIND of missing my G4, which I still own, so this morning, with some lights on and some light off in the living room, I took the same shot with both phones, because I am sure that extra .1 aperature width really makes the difference....
But now I'm not so sure. These pics show clearly that the Note 5 gets all the points for color accuracy and at the least TIES with the G4 in terms of clarity and loss of details.
I think having the buttons on the back of the G4 lends itself to a more stable shot... I can press the volume button with my index finger while wrapping the rest of my hand around to stabilize. Whereas I either need to use the on screen shutter, or hold the phone and press down on the volume button which can make the phone shake or move.... does anyone else get what I'm saying?
Either way, this allayed my fear of missing out on the G4... which, while using it, was slower and buggier than the N5.
The Auto mode is very aggressive in noise reduction, which can make some photos really blurry, video is much worse, it's got even more blur.
I hope samsung will reduce it in Android 6, i hope we can create a group and let them know about this.
low light sucks compared to galaxy edge plus, i compared them hand in hand, with no lights turn on, only using a flash light to focus on a certain area
The only thing that bugs me is that in auto mode the iso is jacked all the way up and it manual mode when you go for a slower shutter you cant control exposure which usually over shoots. But sometimes the exposure is good.
Even with raw format you get some noise when using low ISO and slow shutter speed
The low light camera is decent. Much better than my note 3. I cant complaint to much, like the previous post, there will be some digital noise. I shut mostly in auto mode anyway, sometimes I'll mess with macro for foodie shots

Mediocre low light performance
Low light camera quality is mediocre at best, bought one for my sibling and you see lots of artifacts, noise, and very little detail even with medium lighting.
Medicore-ish...and on the bad side....
If you want somewhat GOOD low light pictures, select NIGHT MODE-> set ISO to 800-> Set Shutter time to 1s. Works wonders and it produces 10times better image with much details and like really really low noise !

I will try but this but I'm hoping we get an update where you don't have to mess with settings to get pictures at an acceptable level
I dont like it in low light.
AIS is implemented for COR-L29 in 8.2.0.131(C432GT) update.
It wasn't mentioned anywhere but if you'll take some night mode shots now you 'll notice it right away.
It uses about 6 seconds exposure and shots are not blurry at all.
It improves low light performance quite a lot actually!!
How do you know? I'm on COR-L29 on 8.2.0.130(C185GT) but my night mode shots still are blurry
You are one update behind.
It's implemented on 8.2.0.131(C432GT)
Low light could definitely be better, but still far superior to other device in its price range.

S10 has f/1.5 aperture for rear camera and f/1.7 for selfie camera. It means alot for low light photography.
I'm pre ordering the S10 + and after seeing online samples, have little hopes it will.do any better than my note 9
Same orange tint and lag that blurs pics in artificial light is already apparent.
I use gcam for all indoor shots and hope it works on the S10 too....unless they've done some software update on release to fix it.
Ok, had a good 30 mins hands on with S10plus and shutter lag is gone.... orange tint still remains though
I'm hopeful low light photos will match my S9. I have taken some perfect very low light shots with it and I'm hoping the S10 will do the same.

looking forward to better cam
I am really looking forward to a better camera and hope that this camera can capture red and pinks. I am currently upgrading from a s4 that really had issues with colors.
Not too shabby ...
its good, but not mate 20 pro good.
only device i can compare with right now since i have both
It's all software, not sure why they can't make it perfect. Google has been using pretty much the same camera since Pixel 1 or even Nexus 6p and it's still one of the best because of software processing
It is still behind Google Pixel.

Totally true. If Google can make that software then can Samsung. Samsung has the capability and resources of doing research. I am coming from pixel 3 and low light performance of s10 is way behind than pixel. Even the day light shots look over exposed. Not sure if they did take this decision deliberately or their QA department is potato.

Gcam on my lgv40 is 1,000 better than this phone. Wide angle shots are almost unusable on this phone
Compared low light against S9+ and I noticed a difference in exposure time and iso.
S9 has lower iso but more exposure time and a bit more noise reduction.
S10 on the other hand chooses for higher iso and less exposure.
Both have advantages and disadvantages and depends on preferences. For static objects S9 look better but for moving objects S10 is better.
If you can hold your phone steady, S9 can make great photos with low light. But I think S10 will be better for majority of people.
S10 is now more like Apple's approach for taking photos. There's a little more noise but also less blur.
Night mode on S10 is awful btw. They really should make this better.
A quick snap outside my gym's window
Very low light photo... Not bad at all... Just point and shoot
staggering amount of noise, sadly nothing is improved on the same S9+ lens
Sorry
With sam
Dont expect great camera at night

I looked at the Gcam link in your signature:
https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/dev-parrot043/
That page says that "New versions from Bulkin043 are now shared on his new Parrot043 GCam page.", which is here:
https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/dev-parrot043/
What version of Gcam is working best for you?
Are any of the versions translated from Russian to English?
Thank you!
I'd recommend this version https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/f/changelog640/
just a few things to remember . .
1 - it can take something like 20 seconds to process a HDR+ photo after you take it with the version i posted . There are some versions that do it a lot quicker , but they dont use sabre .. thats googles image processing software to increase image quality .
2 - night-sight photos may look blurry because we dont have image stabilisation , just try to hold the camera as still as possible or rest the phone on something
i've compared many photos to my old honor 9 which was said to have a great dual camera setup , and the G7 power with gcam just blows it out of the water

It's terrible in low-light. Use Google cam for usable images in low-light.
I dont think so majority of people know how to make the best use of pro mode.

Obviously long-exposure shots will be brighter than regular shots. Not everyone will use a tripod, I'm talking about Night mode.
The phone's hardware is fine, great in fact. But the software is just awful. Here are some shots using Gcam and stock cam. The first 2 are from stock cam, night mode on, badly over-processed, and noisy as hell. The 3rd and 4th shots are cleaner, less noise, more vivid, and a lot more detailed are from Gcam.
