Taking photo with front camera with beautify set to off still not produce a natural pict

Photo Quality Good Not Best.
Front Camera 20mpx :- Best in Day But One Problem That Bad Photo Opposite to Light. (Other Phone in Similar Specification Click Good Photo to Opposite to Light)
Amazing Portrait Mode of Front Camera.
Rear Camera :- Best Photo in Day Light and Good in Low Light.
Personally i like Single Front Camera Portrait Photo than Rear Dual Camera Portrait Photo.

Portrait Mode Over Exposure in Redmi Note 5 Pro Indian After Update Miui 10

Hi everyone. I bought this phone 2 days ago. I'm overall happy of the product, but I feel like images are a little bit grainy even in sunny enviroments. I'm on MIUI global 10.2.1.0 | stable.
Does anyone else experience such issues or should I consider checking for hardware faults? Thanks a lot

Photo Quality and Portrait mode Quality Reduce in Miui 10 but Photo Quality found Great in Miui 9
See my Third Post There i Uploaded Rear Camera Sample of Miui 9 but Now i am on Miui 10.2.1

In the beginig, with first firmware i have when i bought my RN5 (9.5.6.0) camera give excellent photos, why camera is decreased right now ? Maybe a developper can look differences between new firmwares and olds, and maybe port old cameras configuration with a patch ( for exemple ) i m not a developper but i believe someone can do this.

The photos seem to look like oil paintings when I zoom in closer on the pictures. The best way to describe this is that the details taken are horrible on my phone.
I was on MIUI 10 but switched to Havoc OS. GCam seemed to fix it but I wanted to stick on Stable releases.

Umf.. so redmi note 5 global https://ibb.co/PG9RCP0

Apparently there will be an update to camera, both in terms of performance and functionality, it should be available to download at 28th May, which should be just before it gets released in most places.

At least according to Asus Sweden

According to pocket-link, this phone can shoot multiple frame resulting in 109 megapixel photos. I haven't read from other sites before.
https://www.pocket-lint.com/phones/reviews/asus/147785-asus-zenfone-6-review-flip-camera

Does the Phone support raw shooting? If so from the 48MP camera and/or the 13PM wide?

All of this but no mention of the zoom capabilities.
Obviously optical zoom would have been mentioned, but I'm wondering how the digital zoom is before the image starts breaking up.

There is a good comparison here including zoom
Really holds up well

Im holding off at present, some of the pics look way to soft, and way to much colour saturation.

Don't expect huge improvements from what they've delivered in the past. They do have some new tech to play with to improve night shots thanks to the 48MP sensor (although missing OIS). And some will prefer the superior front cam capabilities for sure.

New update, also enables EIS on 4k 60 fps filming, from this video:

colours are still way off :/

The best front cam that they've tested, not surprisingly. Not an astounding result considering it's using its rear camera. Hopefully software changes and/or Gcam can help improve it further.
Curious to see how it scores in the Rear cam test.

DXoMark does smartphones as 'selfie' (front) and 'mobile' (rear) with separate reviews. I imagine the criteria is different so they can't use one score for both still. If you look at any rear cam review the photos are a mix of people and objects, while the front cam reviews are practically entirely people based (hence 'selfie' score). It won't necessarily get the same score as a rear cam as it does a selfie cam since there is different criteria to keep even testing.

Dxomark only produces selfie score just because Asus want to show off their top score on-stage at Computex 2019
My guess is the rear camera software is still got lots more room for improvements, XDA posted today that there are major firmware upgrades for camera quality improvements
https://www.xda-developers.com/asus-zenfone-6-update-super-night-mode-hdr/
Image quality, colors and skintone looks good to my eyes in this sample https://www.eprice.com.tw/mobile/talk/4543/5333582/1/rv/asus-zenfone-6-zs630kl-6gb_128gb-review/ and even in DXOmark selfie review, the skin tone and colors are very similar to Pixel 3 which is very good for Asus smartphone
I can't wait for this phone to launch in my country

How about super night shot option. Does it work well compare to Huawei P30. Thanks.

Day light photo quality is comparable to Pixel 3, S10+, iPhone XS, P30 Pro
but the night mode on P30 Pro beats anything in the market coz physics...not even samsung google apple can compete with the better and larger main sensor in P30 Pro...u may want to install gcam for night sight to get better night photo on zenfone 6

I'm able to open the wide angle camera in pro mode only. Is this the only way to open it?

No, you have to slide between zoom button to switch between cameras, sliding right to 0.6x will take you to the wide angle camera

Wide angle
Or you can pinch in to get to wide angle.

Amazing!

Just zoom into that seagul ? it's too detailed
Lol XDA just reduced the quality.... But trust me... The camera quality is the best in this segment.... No phone can match... I mean realme XT is nearer but still I love natural colours which realme doesn't give... So for me redmi note 8 pro is better

Amaz

Overall very happy with camera.
Portrait is amazing.
Wide angle is useful
Main cam is better than I hoped.
2x is the only downside so far. Very hit and miss.

Couple of point and shoots. Didn't use night mode on the evening shots

i guess you know i realize that

i had my meizu pro 5 with 20 mb and till recently its camera is awesome in details and its zoom was astonishing
even with older phones from lenovo didnt produce such weird textures or that noise on pictures

you bought the wrong phone for photography, it's because of mediatek sensor processing, it can't par with 2019 best lenses
and with that sensor, even video recording I've seen on rn8 pro, it's a bit better than my.. 2015 redmi note 2, only a bit better..
you could try gcam, but it will never work 100%
my gf's 2 years 90€ redmi 5 gcam does a lot better job at photography on day and night.

i thought maybe there was an issue with my phone or the latest firmware ruined its quality
then better to go with snapdragon mobiles i guess

It's a good mediocre phone with a not so good camera. Not the best. But it justifies its price.

I do have to add, that I tested the fine detail of the 48MP Redmi note 9S vs the LG G6 16MP camera, static shot, side to side and guess what, at the same image width, the LG is sharper and has more detail
48 super mega random pixels LOL

/\ Megapixels was never a comparison thing.. You have to dig into pixel density of the sensor, not quantity of Megapixels.. that's noob.... I'm on iPhone 8 Plus right now and it have only 12MP and is SUPERB.. But I'm planning to buy a cheaper phone.. I would add that Redmi note 9 Pro has 64MP sensor I guess.. It's a little bit better.. the photo is larger and so it can accomodate more pixel density.. I don't know if my iPhone 8 Plus is better or not regarding camera but I won't afford another one if anyone steal it from me.

i just bought the RN9PRO global, i took this picture in 64MP this morning, what do you think of the quality ?

Quad Bayer 48MP means only 12MP after pixel binning. I do not see how choosing one from every four small pixels is better than simply having regular sized pixels without binning (other than being able to market it as a 48MP camera). The photo quality is not crap. It has less noise than my older phones. But that is all I can say about it.

Here is a sample image. It is a set of three images of the same scenary side-by-side. Among the first two (left and centre), one is taken in 48MP mode, the other is taken in default mode. I will not tell which one is taken in 48MP mode. See if you can figure it out. (Hint: You can not, because there is no difference). The last one (rightmost one) is HDR.
https://imgur.com/d66cSqS.jpg
Notice how the HDR mode preserves a lot more details in the darker areas, but everything in the brighter areas get a ton of halo around themselves. The halo is present in non-HDR image too, but its effect is much less.
Overall, this camera is nothing special.

Camera on curtana sucks! I don't like it at all. My old oneplus phone can even do better shots than it.

Honestly, I didn't like it.. It's blurred(not focused) on the center of image.. look likes there's a huge circle unfocused on center..
I guess I will go for S10 Lite or S10+

Well, I have noticed that you can zoom-in deeper with the gallery app on pics taken with 48MP mode.
But the differences on quality compared to pixel binning pics is really small, on the screen of the phone almost not noticeable.
Cam is okay for quick shots, I guess.
But what I'm missing for example are details when zooming into a taken pic. When zooming in, pics becoming blurry fast, will say things that are more in the background are not really as sharp as I wish they would be.
Have also tested different versions of GCam, but returned to the stock cam app. It gives me the "best" results and works most stable.

I'm on MIUI 12, so far I'm not that impressed.
I already understood that gcam is going to be mandatory here.
There is a white hue on many photos. It mostly overexpose photos. If you are trying to focus on a dark object, the photo will be extremely overexposed. This did not happen with my 2017 LG V30.
There is no real feedback for a good focus. Tap to focus, but nothing really tells you it's locked.
The location of the wide angle lens is impossible not to touch if you're holding the phone with you left hand.
I only have it for 1 day , I'll have to test it longer.
Still searching for the perfect gcam version.
Pure Image quality: Noise reduction algorithm can be weird sometimes. Photos tend to be overexposed. Lack contrast.

if you're interested in whole range gcam results, I uploaded full size samples here:

Which version of gcam are you using ? And where can I get the ultimate xml ?

New version of VCX forum out today.
https://vcx-forum.org/score/version-2020
Mi 10 Pro general good score except for performance(AF/timing). 1 point!!!

Yeah but those results are all using the built in app and who actually uses the built in rubbish ?
Would be good to see camera reviews with Gcam installed but no reviewer seems to be aware of Gcam ports, I think they all live under rocks.

I don't underestimate VCX forum. I think they know about Gcam. However, in their measurement and comparison they use stock cam apps and I think that is reasonable.
If the Xiaomi stock app is that bad, then Xiaomi must do something about it, their own product.
That said, the score for Mi 10 Pro in image quality is actually good.

Xiaomi Mi 10 Pro Photo Quality
As far as the cameras are concerned, the Xiaomi Mi 10 Pro on the rear packs a 108-megapixel primary camera with an f/1.69 aperture and a pixel size of 1.6-micron; a second 8-megapixel camera with an f/2.0 aperture and a pixel size of 1.0-micron; a third 12-megapixel camera with an f/2.0 aperture and a pixel size of 1.4-micron and a fourth 20-megapixel camera with an f/2.2 aperture. The rear camera setup has autofocus. It sports a 20-megapixel camera on the front for selfies.

And your point is ? We all know the specs this thread is about picture quality.

can you pls post some pictures? i want to buy the mi 10 pro but i see a lot of noise in those pictures, blurry photos, take a look at the guy up posted some picturesc with chimney. only the chimney looks good the rest is rubish, a lot of noise and distorsion. how is this good? and he used gcam i'd wish to see a comparison between p40 pro and mi 10 pro but with latest firmwares maybe with gcam on both. for me this pics are just not worth 1.000 euros

There is only noise when you zoom in very far, the pics are great with gcam with all three cameras, the 8mp 3.7 zoom lens gives surprisingly good results too, I dont use the built in camera app, I never do, gcam is best, plenty of reviews around with pics. Cant upload examples cos theyre too large.
