Superb work

dayum, it really looks like a step up from the Mate 9. Just read the in-depth DxOMark review, any chance we can see some extreme low light shots that would require flash?

Did some comparisons:
Huawei Mate 10 Pro vs. Mate 9 - https://touchit.sk/fototest-huawei-mate-10-pro-medzigeneracne-porovnanie-s-huawei-mate-9/139031
Mate 10 Pro vs. Galaxy Note8 vs. iPhone 8 Plus - https://touchit.sk/fototest-dualnyc...-samsung-galaxy-note8-vo-dne-aj-v-noci/138438
Sorry it is in Slovak language, but I hope you can get the point from pictures themselves

This is great. Which do you think was better

Yes, you're right - Mate 10 Pro on the left side.
For me Mate 10 Pro is better on three photos, except the photo with "Danger"

Yeah I agree with that, You can see the texture of the sign board more on the pixel. Decision made, Gotta get the Mate 10 P, I just hope they keep up with the updates :fingers-crossed:

Well got it delivered today (10 Pro) so tested out the camera

I was a little surprised to find the RGB camera isn't 12mb like advertised too, it's 11.8

Comparison between P10+ & Mate10 at ISO1000. Mate10 noise reduction is too strong until lost of colors & some details has been smoothen. P10+ handle it much better & more natural. Hope Huawei will improve in this area.

I am also dissapointed by mate 10 photo quality. In daylight its worse than my old galaxy s4!
Noise reduction is too strong, sharpening is just way too strong and contrast is too strong. Pictures look completely artificial.
JPG are almost useless on 4K good screen.
On the other side - raw files are great.

My Mate 10 arrived yesterday, sampled out the camera this morning. I'm so impressed with the entire Phone so far, but the camera is really something.
The forum has reduced the quality of these quite a bit.

Is possible some of our camera are defective? I haven't been impressed at all with it. Especially in low light the pictures look a bit rubbish. The u11 and original pixel xl looked a lot better

I agree. I've been comparing the Note 8 and M10 Pro... and when i send them to people to tell me what they think, most of them come back to me by telling me the N8 is much better. I am using the Zero camera mod on the N8, and it seems that it really makes the pictures better. Honestly i was expecting much better.
Did you try the M10 on "moving subjects"? like babies, dogs, cars... for me it just has a hard time focusing. Of course, this on auto mode... on pro, and when you take still pictures it looks really nice. I also realised that the color isn't very warm, tends to go on the blue cold then warm.

I haven't really taken loads of pics outside mainly low light... But what I have taken is a bit washed out and haven't been impressed.
I think the hardware is as good as the other flagships and I heard you can get better pictures in pro mode. The software side obviously isn't doing a very good job and needs updating

Xz2 compact vs Sirocco
N8 is used with Gcam. Both is on Auto mode. Without bettering.
And here with updatet Nokia Camera.
https://photos.app.goo.gl/QnkGuvW28xFAnJ6G8

I come to Sirocco from a long line of Xperia`s. I can say that the camera is extremely disappointing on Sirocco. Very bad camera, it is impossible to take a clear photo if you even just move a little. Also the processing is horrible or completely missing (i was expecting a lot more from a pure android).

I had any flagship Xperia in last years. Now have Xz2 compact. I compare cameras every day. Nokia with Google cam and last updated Nokia cam is better than Sony. In daylight better colors. In low light better detailing. In low light for landscapes must not use flash.

Are you sure? Maybe you testing on a tripod?
Before this i had a Z5c and it was a lot better, especially in low light. Nokia has to much noise (especially in low light) and lacks details (it is very evident if you zoom in a photo).
But the worst part, it has almost no stabilization, witch in a day to day use (without tripods, ideal lighting.....) by a average user with average knowledge in photography it outputs crappy photos, distorted, unfocused. This is why i call it bad (as most users that do). The sensor itself might be good, but no OIS and bad software combined with a bootloader impossible to be unlocked (so no custom software or proper ports of apps like camera with advanced processing algorithms for the exact hardware) will result in a very expensive (flagship) brick.
So, to resume all the above : Sony is better than Nokia in almost every way (the only exception is the design, the only reason i bought the Sirocco).

Here 2 posts upper I had posted comprasion between xz2c and Sirocco. Have pics in twilight and in total dark. For me Nokia(with Google cam app) is equal to Sony . I have and S8 too. S8 overexposed night shots and and I dont like that. Have you ever tryed Google camera app?

I`m using a Gcam port for MI6. It works a lot better than the stock, and it does some pretty good photos, but only with the HDR+ enhanced mode. The disadvantage is that this port cannot use the second camera (the telephoto one).
If the bootloader could be unlocked and with the complete source code, someone could make a good Gcam port for this phone.
P.s. : Nokia 8 has a very different camera comparing to Nokia 8 Sirocco edition. The N8 has a secondary monochrome camera and it has OIS. N8s does not have OIS and the secondary camera is for telephoto only.
So basically the N8 has a much better camera comparing to the N8s, and the photos should be a lot better, comparable to a Sony flagship.

Im using Pixel port Gcam version. And i think that with any ports second camera didnt works.

Now that the bootloader is unlocked for Nokia 8. Let's hope that they unlock it for Nokia 8 Sirocco as well. And we might see a really good Gcam port that uses both the cameras on the back cause Nokia Camera app is really bad. I don't think they will get it right for a long time. Gcam is far far ahead of them. I don't know how things work around there but maybe they can collaborate with Google to work on more enhanced camera app. I'm just blaberring here.

shots in daylight are good, although if u zoom in too much there's some softness n waterpaint effect going on, probably a software issue, hope it gets fixed soon.
but in night this phone is simply outstanding, no phone in it's price bracket come even close to it, will upload a sample tomorrow, but the detail, noise level, lights, everything is perfect in its price range

Some shots I took(no edits) and they are definitely way better than 7 plus

This is a low light selfie,street light is yellow,no beauty mode ,just default settings

I have been using this device for a month and here are my findings on its cameras,
1. Back camera works superb in every aspect except the image size which is always to be 7 to 8 MB whether its day time shot or low light or shot in night. So image compressing is not as good as Nokia 7 Plus has.
2. Front Camera is a total flop. Yes I mean it. I take many selfies and they are always much grainy (in all conditions) with and without beauty modes. I don't think so Nokia put a really 20MP sensory at the front instead from the images quality it looks like a 5 MP sensor. Even the Gcam port shows it as 5 MP sensor. Again Nokia 7 Plus take very very great selfies without any filters or 3rd party camera app.
I upgraded from Nokia 7 Plus but after one month I realized That Nokia 7 Plus is far more better than Nokia 8.1 with respect to Cameras and image quality/size.

Just FYI, number of megapixels has nothing to do with image quality, it's just the size of the image. Gcam takes a 5 Mpix photo with any 5+ Mpix front facing camera because it works that way.

where is photo ?

Photos off the selfie cam are a bit rubbish, way too sharp and often exposed badly. Photos from the rear camera are fine (if a touch too sharp for my liking), i have found it works much better turning the AI detection off, it seems a bit thick for an AI and often just makes everything really blue. Low light performance is very good (coming from a Nokia 8), you do get some loss of detail once the ISO ramps up but that is all the processing to get rid of the noise, on the bright side at least you get a photo and not a blurry mess like with the Nokia 8. I tried a Pixel 2 with nightsight against the Nokia 8.1 and to be honest the pixel wasn't that much better at all when the scene was very dark, it was better but not "oh wow" better.

That's because the front camera uses pixel binning.

Just to add i have been comparing the Nokia 8.1 low light photos to some taken with a Galaxy S9 and the Nokia 8.1 makes a better job of it from what i have seen.

The camera is the weakpoint of this phone. For the price you pay for it, I would have expected a much more decent camera.
Attached photo was done in a bright room but you can clearly see that the noise is present and the details of the wooden floor disappear.

In order to be able to compare the quality of the above photo, I added another one that was took using an iphone 11. Same room, same light.

I know it's not fair to compare it to a phone that costs the same as almost two s10 lite phones but I'm guessing that the SE 2020 which is on the same level will beat it.
The screen is nice though ...

Honestly fine.
I dont know why people gave this a low rating. I feel like people are expecting to much from Phone camera's.
For an average human being that takes a pics for memories or casual photo albums its more than fine. Enough options to choose from.
I do miss the lack of tap to focus, unless i missed it somewhere in the settings.

Hi people,
The cams are ok in good light situations i think for the price of the phone!
Only in low light situations it will have not so good performance. The aperture is only 2.0 so for that aperture is not so strange. Try to get as much as light as possible and your photo's will be ok!

I have a question, is this camera able to take RAW photos? And can you use a third party app to change the shutter speed?

It's a reaaaally huge difference dude! I am disappointed, I was thinking to get the lite for me, maybe not after see that pics.

One area that the camera impressed with was digital zoom (8x). Daylight pictures from 20 feet away were good. Guess that's one advantage of a high megapixel count.

Also macro is really impressive, i use it al lot and its not disappointing either. As long you have enough light the cams are fine!

got it for 450euro, 128gb, white
for that, i give 4stars. im fine with the camera. macro is surprisingly good. gcam works...whatelse i want?

I pass loll

Seen gcam pictures on youtube, difference night and day on the details and brightness.

Picture from youtube
Edit:
Now that i have the phone i think its very disappointing, can't make sharp pictures. Whatever camera app i use, zoomed in to the picture its not sharp, compared with ipad pro 2017. Everything is soft. People complain about it allot with s10 series. I didnt expect miracles from this phone but it is just ridiculous if every photo is to soft.

Low light

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 Xiaomi Mi 10T / 10T Pro'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.

I agree only that it can't outperform S20Ultra - only to match sometimes. It has been proven that for Mi Note 10/ Mi 10 Pro there is better processing than S20 Ultra looking at the details. Even 9 to 1 bining does not work that good with this gen. But the margin is so small and noticable only in pixel peeping. Xiaomi's native cam night mode is very bad from Mi Note 10 and Mi 10 - I see that with this model 10T Pro they improved a little. Hope this will be fixed with updates in future.
For Note10+ I would not compare these much - yes for resolution like 'instagram' it would match looking at small scale, but at even slightly zoomed in (especialy in PC) it really outperforms Note10+ at everywhere - this is for night mode (gcam used on xiaomi). At day time yes, Note 10 series processing is great, only it lacks looking inspection at details. But for most uses the rendering on samsung is way aheat comparing to native xiaomi app (not gcam).

I am not so impressed by this camera, when I take pictures of the letters on a Fanta can the letters are not sharp but with my Mi Mix 2S it is sharp.

I've received some pics from mi10t pro (stock app) and compared with my gcam note 10+...Even on zoom in difference is minor.

If gcam works on your note 10+, so its SD 855 processor?
In that case I would wait for next gen, Note10+ overall offers better experience.
