I am actually surprised how good is overcast and low light performance. Dynamic range, color reproduction and detail are at very high standard.

No smearing or painting alike artifacts what so ever., images are sharp and clear. So far so good Nexus 5x!

That's the actual owner of the Nexus 5x photo album : https://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/3p8bsy/nexus_5x_photo_album/
[Nexus 5X General] thesebastian:
Anyone could tell me what is the minimum focus distance of the 5X's camera? (In the Nexus 5 it's like 5cm - 6cm)

Do you use HDR+ for all the photos? (I mean, it's a good mode for everyday photos? Like in the Nexus 5).

My story:

I've used a Nexus 5 for almost two years, took amazing photos. Now I've a Z5 Compact but I prefer the "average" Nexus 5 camera.. Specially when I'm taking short-distance photos.

So I think I'll return the Z5 Compact and go for the 5X.

I didn't like the Z5C camera quality despite of the reviews and all the good landscapes photos around...
[Nexus 5X General] nebulaoperator:
Those are not my photos , last link will guide you to the actual owner of that photo album. He also mentioned some images are shot in HDR mode. From what I saw 5x camera is easy superior to 5. Look what overcast he had and how well lit images are.
[Nexus 5X General] thesebastian:
Ok! Thanks for the info.

Yes. At least all these photos seems to be better than the N5 photos.

So the 5X passed my "medium-long distance" photo test.

But I'll wait for some minimum distance photos without good light. To know how is the camera at those situations!

I am getting my 5x tomorrow will gladly do some close ups. What in particular are you interested in?

Here are few close ups from androidcentral : http://forums.androidcentral.com/nexus-5x/595823-mine-has-just-been-delivered.html

By the way Nexus 5x camera sensor is 1.55 µm pixels. By far largest in the 2015 smartphones at the moment. Low light dream :)
[Nexus 5X General] thesebastian:
Something like this (close ups, most of them indoor, sometimes with artificial light, and always with HDR+, and the original size to see the photo at "real size"):

My current problem is that, I've tried to compare the Nexus 5 quality with the Z5 Compact quality "at a short distance", and I don't like the results, so I'm coming back to the Nexus 5 (or the 5X if possible):

[Nexus 5X General] nebulaoperator:
That sandwich looks delicious!

Didn't expect Z5 compact to be that bad. Does Z5 camera overall quality the same?

I see what you mean you do use camera indoors a lot and close enough.

Speaking of HDR I believe 5x has subtle one because I can't see any nasty in the album
[Nexus 5X General] thesebastian:
[MENTION=5157409]nebulaoperator[/MENTION]

Yes I consider that the photos in that album are amazing!

I love the "Google Camera" because it's pretty simple, it is really fast with HDR+ (at least in the Nexus 5 with Marshmallow), and you can take good photos without messing with settings.

[Nexus 5X General] nebulaoperator:
I saw. it's got unhidden HDR icon on the camera UI. I am curious about HDR mode because many OEMs overusing it and it looks unnatural apart from few phones I came across.
[Nexus 5X General] Highland3r:
Few photos and videos in the first post of this thread.

Hopefully get chance to add some HDR on/off/auto at lunchtime today for those that are interested.
[Nexus 5X General] nebulaoperator:
Just received my device . Shortly, camera is very decent and reliable. Slightly on the dimmer side if poking on the darker parts while shooting. I just prevented it by tapping on the brighter parts. HDR in general makes images slightly darker reducing risks of underexpose and overexpose but overall it's balance better than many HDR modes across other OEM's.

I wish google had implemented exposure some sort of slider and AF lock because I might want certain part of image to be in focus but camera to read light somewhere else. Now camera reads exactly where you tap on to focus. Certainly not a deal breaker but would make photography much easier and more effective.

Also notice there is slight WB difference in comparison HDR and non-HDR. I found it images without HDR better exposure wise. Either way is great, images are crisp and well textured without any evidence of smearing/painting effect. I can only guess how good images will look on the sunny day.

Another great thing is double press power button and camera is instantly on, indeed very fast.

Images attached are in pairs one is HDR On and the other one HDR Off. Brighter images are usually without HDR

So far camera is very solid.

Adding couple of low light shots. It looks that's where this camera shows it's strength:
[Nexus 5X General] PaoloMix09:
Can someone tell me how the front facing camera is? I kinda miss the greatness of the awesome HTC One M9 front facing camera.
[Nexus 5X General] robstunner:
Looks great outside of the blown out sky in all the shots.
[Nexus 5X General] nebulaoperator:
True :) I just looked at my iphone 6 images made overcast day it's better balanced. If I tap on screen not to blow sky it gets a dark even with HDR. Something actually engadged mentioned too about .
[Nexus 5X General] gavinfabl:
Right. I've just finished my camera comparison with me Nexus 5X vs my iPhone 6S Plus.

http://gavinsgadgets.com/2015/10/19/fight-nexus-5x-vs-apple-iphone-6s-plus-camera-shootout/

I've taken more photos than I had time to upload at the moment. So ask me any questions on here if you have any.
[Nexus 5X General] nebulaoperator:
Nice comparison. If you have any chance to explore HDR option on 5x you'll find WB for some reason gets more natural. At the moment it seems 5x having hard time dealing with highlights and WB slight shift towards warm side.

By the way have you noticed there are two HDR modes on 5x HDR A and HDR+ any idea what's the difference?
[Nexus 5X General] gavinfabl:
HDR A is automatic selection. HDR + is forcing HDR on. Automatic mode seems to work quite well.
[Nexus 5X General] nebulaoperator:
Thanks.

I think you could've chosen brighter exposure for Iphone 6 when taking church because that saved the sky alone but darkened image in general or do opposite with 5x exposure.

6s has more natural colour and more accurate Wb while 5x sightly oversaturated.

5x has slightly better reproduced detail and less artifacts. Just take a look at water lower right corner both images( horses in the field) . Having said that other images are less apart in detail reproduction.
[Nexus 5X General] gavinfabl:
Agree that was an option.

However, for this first test all I wanted to do is pure auto and only display the first shot from each. Trying to play fair as best as I can. I have just been outside and taken some night time shots, and no surprises the 5X shots were brighter. I also used Camera FV-5 and have snapped them in RAW. I am just uploading them so I can import them into Lightroom to take a closer look.

I have to say based on the shots taken today, the differences are small.

One of the photos with Strawberries was the sample I was just looking for. Look at these strawberries you can even see some "particles" around them!

[MENTION=241112]gavinfabl[/MENTION]

Your photos are amazing too.

At "100%/real size" I could say that the N5X captures with more detail:

http://i.imgur.com/sqbS1X4.jpg
[Nexus 5X General] nebulaoperator:
Fair enough. I take it you do no adjustments in Lightroom :)
[Nexus 5X General] nebulaoperator:
Funny , when I saw strawberry shot I instantly thought of your salmon sandwich image and decided this one you are craving for :) Detail is THERE!

Have you made up your mind so far?
[Nexus 5X General] thesebastian:
Yes. I'm pretty sure I'll end up with the Nexus 5X. I'm waiting for some battery tests....

The one thing I cannot blame in the Z5 Compact is the battery life. It doubles (or even more...) the N5(2013) battery life (even with 1/4 signal stength).

Anyway...after more than 3 years with a Nexus device, I can't trade all the "nexus experience" with "double battery life".
[Nexus 5X General] gavinfabl:
Yes looking back at the church shot again from http://gavinsgadgets.com/2015/10/19/fight-nexus-5x-vs-apple-iphone-6s-plus-camera-shootout/ I also noticed the detail was vastly better on the 5X. My 6S Plus did a terrible job, even though it automatically switched to HDR too. I am just undergoing some night shots and will have plenty more during the course of the week ::)

Thanks for the compliments too !!

---------- Post added at 20:07 ---------- Previous post was at 19:58 ----------

The shots imported into lightroom were raw photos taken with Camera FV-5. Waste of time IMO. The default camera did a better job. All the photos in my article are totally unedited.
[Nexus 5X General] nebulaoperator:
I couldn't even open camera FV-5 light version after install. Tried a few times deleted afterwards. I don't know if you do indoors camera comparison too if so would be curious to see comparison too.

Like your work by the way keep it going !

Hey man, I'm really wanting to know how that front camera performs, not sure if you've seen the HTC One M9's front camera pic quality but it was great for a front camera. You think you can take some samples with front camera and post on here or on the site? I use Snapchat pretty often and my Nexus 6's front cam quality is ridiculously bad compared to the M9's I used to have. Thanks in advance!

Great camera review so far, I don't mind some of those pics over saturated a bit because they actually look better like that, except for maybe the grass, good camera overall. It's just nice to have a good/decent camera on a Nexus device. I'm thinking of getting this phone soon.

Auto hdr+ not working properly?

Not sure if its just my device but maybe someone else can try and test this too. I've noticed that in what I would consider to be some dynamic shots I've been taking that auto hdr+ doesn't kick in and results in over exposed shots but then when I force into hdr+ the shots come out much better I'll attach a sample with the focus on the same point in both pictures one with auto hdr+ and one with manual hdr+

Hi

I have recently purchased a Moto X Play(2 weeks back); I had to trim an old micro SIM to nano SIM. It did not fit well on installation and when I tried to take it out (a bit forcefully), I damaged the gold pins of the SIM card reader and now the phone is not detecting any SIM . I suspect there is also some issue with the SIM tray as it takes a lot of effort to open it with a key. I tried for replacement of the phone but it did not work out. Is there any means by which I can get the damaged parts repaired/replaced within a reasonable time frame? Any help will be highly appreciated. Waiting anxiously for responses from you all .

Thanks

Guys i recently ordered an Asus Zenfone 2 Deluxe from a Chinese retailer. Obviously because the phone was the Chinese or Taiwanese Version they rooted the device and installed a WW Firmware before shipping it to me. The Version i have is 2.19.40.18 but the battary life is really bad. I realised all this when i tried to search for firmware updates but there is no way to search from the settings menu and the OTA Solution doesn't seem to work because i don't get a notification to update.

ADB doesn't work either because the 3 PCS i installed all the necessary drivers on, i couldn't get them to correctly recognise the device.

Anyways, i just want to be able to update the device to the latest WW software version, i don't care about the root if i will loose it because i don't use the device as a superuser.

What do you advice?

Hey,

Clean flashed 6.0 The device booted up ok. After 1 hour the phone crashed and would not turn on anymore. Thought the battery is dead so I charged it (no indication on screen but my charger showed that current was flowing). After charging for a couple of hours it would still not boot up. Went into boot loader tried to reflash the system -> the bootloader crashes in about 10 seconds after opening it. It is enough to flash recovery, radio, boot buy system always fails in the writing 'system' phase. By fail I mean the bootloader crashes and fastboot writes FAILED (status read failed (Too many links))

I searched around a lot didn't see anyone with a bootloader crashing problem.

Do you think the motherboard is dead? Any hope to revive it?

[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HeavyClocker:
Hello dear XDA Users.

I own a Galaxy S6. After a hour of walking in rainy weather, the recents button of my galaxy s6 stopped working. I also noticed that the backlight of recents and back key were also not woking. I immediately thought that it was a hardware problem. I take a look inside the sim tray for water indicatior, however it was still white and there arent any other problems on the device. I also got into the service menu for tests and I couldnt get any feedback from the button.

The funny part starts here:

After I installed Galaxy Button backlight app just to see what will happen if i disable and enable them manually, backlight of the buttons started working again. So I think that It may be a software issue and flashed the stock firmware using Odin, my recents button was still not working.

Are there any methods would you like to suggest me in case of this error being a software problem?

If I can't find a solution, I am going to request a new device from warranty.(which means I am going to be a trouble for them:) )

thanks in advance

With LockedBootloader you cant change kernel atm... So you must stay on android 4.2.2 ... No chance to update to 5.0 atm ...

There are 3 ways for you:

1. install a 4.2.2 LockedBootloader rom (like stryder rom)

2. unlock your bootloader and get a android 5+ rom for taoshan (xperia L codename)

3. program kexec to work so you can bypass bootloader ( ok that option is only viable for good devs)
