You can also try the gcam ports in portrait mode. if you don't mind editing the white balance and saturation, the results are way better than on any galaxy s. I still hope there will be a fixed gcam port for Huawei phones soon.

I simply cannot understand how they passed such severe issue...? I do not have any problem with any other photos, but with people the results are bad.
I think in their point of view it's a feature.I simply cannot understand how they passed such severe issue...? I do not have any problem with any other photos, but with people the results are bad.
zoom in 1.1x before taking the photo and the issue will be gone.I simply cannot understand how they passed such severe issue...? I do not have any problem with any other photos, but with people the results are bad.
Tried this. Indoors, the result is the same when taking a picture of a person. Outdoors is a little bit improved but not much. Too bad, great phone, really great, but the software part of the camera is bogus.

My 2 cents on the Huawei Mate 10 Pro camera:
- on auto mode, things are OK, but not spectacular, the post processing could be improved, but also it looks to me like it is a bit down on saturation (especially in high contrast scenes). I mostly shoot landscapes and nature, and comparing this camera with the Google Camera Port on my LG G6, it looks somewhat desaturated (albeit that might not be Huawei`s fault, since HDR+ usually saturates the picture quite a lot by default).
- on manual mode, you really have room for taking some amazing shots, especially those nice long exposures, but it takes time and you need to be the kind of person which loves to tinker around (like me).
- other modes are also fine, especially the monochrome one, which has very good detail in the shots (the type of detail which would have been SOOO useful in the standard auto shots). Also, I can`t quite see any differences between auto and HDR mode (let`s just forget that it`s a separate "mode" - that`s so 2014), HDR mode doesn`t do a lot as far as I can see, but maybe I haven`t tested it enough.
Overall, it is a good and dependable camera, but as someone else said before, you need to know its limitations and how to go around them. It is not a camera for people who just "point and shoot", because they may not get a great shot all the time. I feel like Huawei could improve the post processing, but I doubt they will bother, as most smartphone users apparently love the "oil painting" effect or just don`t zoom at all into photos to see the unwelcome processing.
I still hope that @Arnova8G2 or @miniuser123 or someone else will find a way (and time) to port the Google Camera to Kirin-based devices so we can enjoy the differences that HDR+ makes (as it so obviously did on my LG G6 vs the stock cam).

I am VERY impressed with the camera. This was taken yesterday using black and white mode, no editing. Gotta love that bokeh!
lol that's such a great pictureI am VERY impressed with the camera. This was taken yesterday using black and white mode, no editing. Gotta love that bokeh!
also it has fantastic camera at night
the only downside is people shots
image processing with face details
extremely bad

The second one was taken underwater in a Swimmingpool for kids. Touchscreen don't work underwater, I had to use the volume - button to take it.

Wow you guys love the risk. I see the IP certification as a life saver feature. There are many phones that break because of people thinking it is 100% water proof. It's not covered by warranty.
Be careful especially when pressing buttons it's always a risk.

I bought mate 10 pro and since i bought, i took lots of photos. I had lg g4 before it and i have been comparing these two. I understand that 12 MP lower than 16 MP, 4:3 vs 16:9 but detail is so lower than it should be i think. I think that's a software issue because there is more painting effect than lg g4's photos. I don't have a chance to try video but photos make me upset for now. (c432)
