Photo quality

[XDA_RealLifeReview]

Say "cheese", then rate this thread to express how photos taken with the Huawei Mate 10 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).

Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!

Superb work

 

[zjhehe]

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

Mate 10 wins on all pics!? Have I got them the wrong way round? Mate 10 on left?

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
