Who else is disappointed in the camera?

[otonieru]

Owned the P20 Pro. The camera was garbage in my opinion.

Professional reviewers ?
Haha.
Dxomark are paid mercenaries.

Sure, Dxomark is mercenaries. Their review is laughable, i cant agree more. Even GSMArena do better job than them.

So, If you want honest review of this phone camera, go here : https://forum.xda-developers.com/hu...uawei-p20-pro-share-fantastic-t3774488/page86

They might not be professional photographers. But, maybe,

unlike you,

They know how to use their phone camera. Or at least, they did it better,

than you.

Because what this thread lacking, is

the bad pictures you people talk about,

While the other thread, do it the other way round,

They provide the good pictures, even in full size,

So,

How should we believe you, when you are all talk. am sorry, i mean, troll.

When we can find better fact/proof somewhere else.

I suggest you read the comments on that particular review.
Users are calling them out for lying, manipulating the truth, showcasing examples of how bad the camera is etc.
Even the photos used in the review are bad compared to the Pixel and iPhone X.

The ultimate stop for the typical fanboy: you don't know how to use it.

Trust me, I know how to use a camera, manual controls included.
The camera is just bad. And it's a bad thing too cause the hardware is all there.
But the software is severly lacking. And I don't know if you are aware of this. When talking about photo quality, the software is the hardest to get right.

If I want to apply cheap effects, I can use any chinese photo editing app.
I don't need it straight from the camera.

Hahaha nearly all reviews rated the P20 Pro highly if not concluding that it was better than its rivals in all the important areas. I guess they all got paid. LMAO! First stop for X phone fanbois, claim the phone that is better than theirs is paying everyone to give them good reviews. That old chestnut...

Let's be real, the P20 Pro has terrible image stabilization in 4k. Some have complained about the FFC too, which I actually like. But that doesn't detract from the fact it has superb HDR, the most detail produced by any phone (bar maybe the Pureview phones) using 40mp in good lighting, flagship beating bokeh effects, the best zoom capability and the best low light capability. This is still true despite the arrival of newer models from rivals.

 

[neflictus]

That’s your take on it.
I had the phone and the pictures all smelled Chinese to me.
Cheap makeup.

Detailed ? Haha
Good HDR? Double haha.

 

[otonieru]

Let these guys laugh, people,

i'll just repeat it again,

Do they provide any bad example here ? No

Do others provide good pictures example in the other thread ? Yes, even with detail info of the setting used (apperture, speed, iso, mode, supporting tools - like tripod, etc)

So,

People can have opinion indeed. With good arguments and proof, that opinion can become fact or truth.

With just words ? In some other part of the world, thats called : troll. or even worse, BS

No proof,

No business. No problem.

It's that simple.

Well. I‘m a professional photographer and I have taken some really awesome pictures with it. I have also taken some really horrible shots with the device
The software processing can be a hit or miss, there is a thin line between a sharp and brillant image and an oversharpened, messy and oversaturated one. Not always the P20 Pro is on the spot. But there is a lot it does right. The auto HDR is quite well done! However, I wish it would be closer to the old lumia devices, quality wise. it could be close if the overprocessing would be reduced. Overall, still providing very useable results.

Your uncorroborated claims? Triple hahaha

 

[gd6noob]

Just in here for the laugh..
Chances are people who come into other phone section and start **** coz
1 - they have no life
2 - they dont have the phone because they are bored and have no life.
3 - they have no life


All his claims are "doesnt provide details" blah blah but nothing to back that up... a lot of sites, not just DXOMark rates the P20 Pro as one of the top. I can agree that its not the best and that there can be things that need attention too but in the end I do like.

 

[Netsoft]

We're still here with the same person? Just don't feed the troll. Whatever floats the boat man.

 

[BaconTrousers]

Personally I'm not that impressed with the phone and camera setup . Yes one lens is undeniably good but the other two I would never really use and although I have taken some great pictures with it I can't help feeling the S9+ would be just as good. Also the S9+ as a phone is much better than the P20 Pro and as I bought my handset used I'm kicking myself that I didn't buy the S9+ which was around the same price.

 

[RiTCHiE007]

I did some research before buying the P20 pro and this topic made me kinda scared but after getting my phone less then a week ago, i can say that the camera is really good! I came from a Oneplus 6 and a galaxy s7 before that and this camera is just amazing! I love all the extra features and while it might not be the best camera for video recording... i do think its the best camera for photography.

Also i think the pixel 2 is the better camera for point and shoot but the p20 pro is more flexable and it really shines when you get to know each lens its pro's and cons.

 

[t.kijas]

Guys do you see the focusing squares when 4D focusing enabled? I have latest firmware (156 / p2) and I see nothing.

 

[all the pugs]

No they're gone again. I hope they'll be back soon.

 

[i.hearcolors]

I cannot express how disappointed i am with the p20 pro. The pro and raw are it's only saviors the rest is utter ****e.
A four year old phone (Nexus 6 shamu) wipes the floor with this rag of a phone...enough before i have a nervous breakdown. What expectations i had....out the fu**ing window along with $800.

 

[Theandroidfan]

I honestly don't know why you guys have issues with the camera.

dont worry mate,

the issues are those guys, not the camera, lol

just look at the guy posting above you. single and first post in xda. solely for complaining that his p20 pro take worst picture than nexus 6, can't be a better troll.

Yep. And no side by side comparison to evidence any of their claims. They are Samsung fanbois.

It's because they only pixel peep, they don't look at the whole picture

The colors and dynamic range of this phone are amazing. Yes, they are processed, but boy, do they look good.

I haven't had as many stunning pictures with any other phone. Ever.

Yes, my Pixel 2 takes more detailed photos and I prefer it for portraits of my daughter, but in every other case, I
prefer my P20 Pro.

And that 5x zoom... And that night mode !

It's a great camera.

For birthdays, I have my Canon camera with it's great 22mm f2
