Low light - Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Pro 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 Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 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.

Here's a night-shot captured with MIUI stock camera app. When there's enough light it performs even better than GCam's night sight in terms of highlights conservation and overall exposure. But GCam preserves more detail on the other hand. Actually it's one of the best night mode implementations I have ever seen. It's almost on par with Huawei's night-mode processing, but still there is room for improvement. The Sony IMX586 sensor has a lot of potential and with the proper night-mode implementation it can do much better than this. But Gcam's night sight is the king when it comes to extreme low-light situations.

Agreed. With street light and signboards of stores, stock camera's night mode does better job in keeping highlights and exposure. Also photos are more sharp in stock camera. Gcam is good for extreme low situations.
P.S. Sorry for the 90° rotated images. Forgot to edit.

Took these in Vietnam at a bridge near my Hotel using night site, lighting conditions were quite poor, added the popping effect from Google to make them pop a little. Great result.

Two Cameras are Better than One: How the Dual-Camera Setup on the Honor 8 Works

How the Dual-Camera Setup on the Honor 8 Really Works​Dual lens cameras seem to be the way of the future. We are seeing many smartphone companies make the switch to the two-lens setup. In this thread, I'll go over exactly how the cameras in the Honor 8 really work and why it's better than a traditional single-lens camera.
What do the Sensors do?

RGB Sensor
The RGB sensor is designed to capture rich true-to-life colors.
Monochrome Sensor
The Monochrome sensor is dedicated to giving your photos increased sharpness and capturing more light.
Having dedicated lenses for different sensors allows for much higher quality photos. Here are some photos taken with the Honor 8, to show off the color and detail quality of this camera.
Hybrid Auto-Focus​When reading about the hybrid focus, the Honor website states
The hybrid auto-focus enables laser focus for short range, precise depth focus for long range, and contrast focus — each working together to help you take better pictures in complex lighting conditions day and night.

I found this being a nice benefit in "complex lighting" situations. In photos with very dark and light spots, typically a camera will have to accommodate one or the other, leaving one part of the photo lacking detail. Here are some photos of situations with bright lights and dark shadows. Notice how everything is even and very detailed.
Dual ISP​The image signal processor is in charge of the autofocus, exposure and white balance. The built-in dual ISP improves the speed of the focus and process time when you're taking photos. This makes snapping high quality photos quick and easy, by removing time spent focusing your shot.
In conclusion, two lenses are definitely better than one and the Honor 8 does this very well.

How to adjust iso manual in Nokia8 as it auto works plz help.
Install opencamera or other 3rd party app, enable api 2
awful
It takes a loooong time to focus, but the time it takes the picture you already missed whatever you wanted to take a picture of.
All I can say is I miss the 950xl desperately after taking photos, the google camera helps a lot. weirdly some photos come out amazing, most don't
My other half has a Nokia 8 and, compared to her Nokia 920, she claims the 8's camera is "really f***king sh*t!"
Photos seem terribly underexposed in automatic mode.
Has anyone had any better experience using a different camera app? Thanks.
I remember that 920 was really good, 925 better and 950 too, but Nokia 8 with GC is vastly superior compared to 920. You should install a well optimized apk on it, she'll be happy.

Thanks, but would you mind elaborating? :good:
e.g. BSG's MGC_5.1.018.177624777-41364271.apk ? And with these settings: https://www.reddit.com/r/Nokia/comments/9023q4/google_camera_tuning_guide_for_nokia_8_2017/

Try Cstark27 or Arnova versions of modded Google cam, you'll find them in this thread:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/nokia-8/themes/modded-google-camera-hdr-nokia-8-t3713411
I use Cstark27 v3.5, it's really good, especially in low light conditions, though there are some issues with video recording. But for photos it's one of the best possible choices.

Photo quality

Say "cheese", then rate this thread to express how photos taken with the Opp Find X come out. A higher rating indicates that photos offer rich color (without over-saturating), sharp detail (with all subjects in-focus), and appropriate exposure (with even lighting).

very rich. too rich.. could be toned down a bit.. look more raw and more natural.. the images looks like a stereo type of beautifying plus make p at time.. can be adjjusted in edit. but picture to picture. cuold change.
So far so good, I am impress with it output, it probably not the best but it is very great output for rear camera. As for the selfie wise it is very well done, absolutely stunning.
Here some sample photos I take recently..

i agree! It's disappointing!
Too much saturation, too much light caught in the scene and a few seconds later too less light.
In low light situation also bad results.
I can't believe that, i saw many hands on but pictures was always good.
Could be a problem of EU's ROM?
I hope they'll fix it with an update.
Have been using this for almost 9months now and, camera quality is aweful when using Snapchat and WhatsApp. I've had a OnePlus 5T, and still use a blackberry keytwo as my 2nd phone, and they are much much better! Only good thing about this phone is the aesthetic appeal, mainly due to the screen ratio.
Awesome

it's a good upgrade due to OIS and build quality and I got the 256MB/8GB version for €428 but I think now I'd rather pick a 7 pro or 7t, theres still more cam detail. indeed the poco f1 can do great photos too but it's a safe bet to take excellent shots with an OP7.

My Device is now running on android 10
The stock oneplus camera app is super choppy in the 240fps slow Mo mode and there is terrible frame skipping.
What should i do to fix this.
It's utterly unusable now.
Been on many phones, ever since my Pixel 2XL no phone just blew me away, honestly with OP7 you don't even need a GCam I love how a the pictures from its stock Cam app are

I'm enjoying taking photos with my Xperia 5 ii. I got tired of computational photography taking photos for me. The first photo was made well before first light and the second under a streetlight just as the sky started to lighten.

I'm trying to make photos as your first one but starting with ISO 800 all the photos are very grainy, even in decent light, and idk what to do in order to improve it...

I actually don't. The photos generally meet my needs. If I were inclined to look at the pixel level I'd probably get my mirrorless camera out of the closet but I'm happy with what I'm getting from the Xperia.

Well, in the meantime I've sold my device and now I'm a happy owner of an S20+
This is another photo I took when I was walking my dog. As you can see, dawn is arriving shortly but it's still dark. This is SOOC except for white balance. I was shooting in Photo Pro using Program Mode.
