In open air it works out well most of the times but yeah, I understand. If there's one or a few bright light sources and the rest of the scene is darker, the camera will probably struggle finding the right balance. But, lowering the exposure takes a second and I find myself doing this a lot - yes, because the camera will bright the scene a lot
I took 2 pictures now. The first one, in auto mode, and in the second I lowered the exposure a bit
Not much of a difference, yeah, but you can see much more of the screen in the 2nd picture and took me a sec to do this. Not ideal, I guess, but I can understand it as it isnt an easy scenario for the camera to handle.
Why doesnt Samsung add a night mode like p20's? Most Night shots would be a lot better probably
You get the idea. Thats my mainproblem around things. I paid 950€ when the phone came out to get a camera that got hyped by Samsung as "The camera, new invented." and got something that gets outperformed by cameras from 2-3 years ago in automatic mode under several conditions easily.
Serious a hint that you can't trust this DxO mark anymore, its just a benchmark like anything else: paid and bought by the company with the most money. And not tested under real world scenarios and compared with other devices from other tests back. I can easily setup a table with test conditions and say this has to be this way, but serious, people look at pictures shot under real world scenarios, not syntetic test results.
Whatever, I like my S9+, but I have my LG G4 still with me, also my EOS 650D, my IXUS310 (For snapshots, serious, Samsung missed it to get me ditch my IXUS for that.) and maybe I grab a P20 Pro. Seems the better camera.
