Guys, all this pictures are great, but I got v10 that takes ''still'' pics. like that. I was wondering how 6p is under artificial light when you take pic of kids or pets (moving objects under artificial light/low light)...are they blurry?
[Nexus 6P Real Life Review] Makonator:
anyone?
[Nexus 6P Real Life Review] neo905:
The pics will be blurry with kids or pets making sudden movements. Just how it is with the hardware in this phone and most smartphones to be honest. Still shots in any lighting conditions has been good to great for me.
[Nexus 6P Real Life Review] Makonator:
so I must get fragile s7 edge ...hmmm
[Nexus 6P Real Life Review] defmetal96:
Not really, like the pictures are okay, if you turn HDR+ off and manage your expectations you can get pretty good shots of moving subjects but other than turning off HDR there isn't much you can do to improve shutter speed.
[Nexus 6P Real Life Review] cruu:
Hi guys.

Quick question. I'm using PureNexus with Franco's Kernel.

Now I'm thinking about flashing that NX camera mode. Is there really big difference within image quality and maybe some other features/options when it's compared to Google's Camera? Should I flash NX mod? It would be great if someone who uses for a longer time can answer me this questions.

Thanks in advance!
[Nexus 6P Real Life Review] Fargo_Zoidberg:
That camera mod is fantastic, in my opinion. Make sure you leave HDR on auto and it will take HDR+ quality pics very quickly. The dev compares it to how the Pixel works, but I don't have a Pixel to compare, but the quality is just as good or better than stock.
[Nexus 6P Real Life Review] BrandonSingh:
HDR+ - On

It beats the Galaxy S8 in static photography

It beats the Galaxy S8 in terms of dynamic range. The overall image from the 6p is a little darker as S8 over exposes the image. In terms of Image quality, the Nexus 6P is the best. Read the article which I'm mentioning, would tell if it's worth buying.

Came from a Note 3 - comparatively this Nexus 6P is amazing.

Wife's iPone 7S takes amazing pictures, yet there's always some level of silent awe from her when we take the same photos with our respective cameras ;) Only time I feel iPhone truly succeeds is with the Portrait mode that uses both lenses and blurs the backdrops. The closest I get to that effect is using Google's Lens Blur, which is also amazing but doesn't work well with children who refuse to stay still! iPhone's motion picture stills are also really cool (Google's Motion Stills app needs to be integrated with stock camera imho!)

I also have a Sony ICLE-QX1 - photos on the 6P are slightly oversaturated but that makes them look nicer. Quality to the Sony is comparative.

Low light photos are hit-n-miss - usually incredible. MUCH better than the iPhone 7S, and almost as good as the QX1.

Dare I say it - even the front cam is great!

2 years later and the 6P's camera still holds up to the new flagships.

[Nexus 6P Real Life Review] Virgosat:
I have a Nexus P6 few months that I received from a cousin, who had it around 1-2 years. Following the recent upgrade camera, when accessing via computer, the browser does not display thumbnails of new photos. I can only see those previous ones. In addition, before the videos were among the pictures, but after this upgrade, created a new folder called: camera_session and inside the folder is a folder google.com. Now i have Thumbnails folder but it is empty. I was hoping that the new refresh program would fix the thing, but unfortunately, everything was the same. Occasionally, after persistent opening the browser, appears thumbnail of the first new image, but does not remain at the reopening. Is there a way to solve my problems?
[Nexus 6P Real Life Review] Schiben:
What's the camera speed difference between a Nexus 6 and Nexus 6P? Honestly, I think the Nexus 6 takes some pretty good pictures, but it's painfully slow at times (Pure Nexus BTW). I'm thinking of picking up a 6P to get a fingerprint reader and a faster camera.
[Nexus 6P Real Life Review] shailpancholi:
How is this?
[Nexus 6P Real Life Review] Schiben:
I like it! :good:

Picked up a 6P from Swappa. looking forward to the upgrade from my N6.
[Nexus 6P Real Life Review] Aur3L:
January 2018 and this phone'camera is still better than the one found in the S8 and the Op5T by a wide margin. Try and get the same consistency in the other new phones, wether taking photos of stills or portrait of a young kid, hdr+is really so good.
[Nexus 6P Real Life Review] 'Kulin' Niluk Perera:
Still the best. Im still loving it. We can go compare and compete with any smart phone even in 2k18 ones without Pixel 1 and 2.
[Nexus 6P Real Life Review] Schiben:
I agree with this on quality of a still image. But, I have kids.... this camera is still pretty slow in some cases. Moving shots could be better. For an older device though, it's still one of the better cameras.

Good thread .. .and it pisses me off... ;)

So for the past 8 years or so I've been trying to get my mitts around photography. To the point I dropped the ducats for a good Canon EOS DSLR. Been taking snaps with it now around the world for years. And I was a happy camper with it! Until I bought my god-forsaken "I-love-the-friggin-thing-but-I-wanna-throw-it-under-a-bus" Nexus 6P. Because dammnit it takes snaps rivaling my Canon! And honestly, I don't care the app or the ROM - the camera on the little bastard just rocks! :)

Your friends are never going to believe what you did. The only way to prove it to them is with that video you took. Rate this thread to express how videos shot on the Huawei Nexus 6P come out. A higher rating indicates that videos are smooth (and not choppy) and that auto-focus works very well, and that the camera adjusts quickly to different lighting conditions while recording.

Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
[Nexus 6P Real Life Review] svetius:
Crisp, but lack of OIS makes for really choppy videos if you don't have a steady hand. The EIS helps a little but not much
[Nexus 6P Real Life Review] darkamikaze:
The video image quality is great however, the lack of OIS really shows and audio quality when recording heavy bass is like nails to a chalkboard. Unfortunate for those who came from a Nexus 5 will have to endure another year of static bass audio.
[Nexus 6P Real Life Review] bellxeno:
The video quality is not bad but i can see same strange lines when i record a video
[Nexus 6P Real Life Review] Alaris:
Does anyone's nexus make a noise when focusing almost like a low clicking? You really need to put your ear up to the camera to hear it, mine makes it and if I watch the video playback loud enough I also hear it.
[Nexus 6P Real Life Review] AhsanU:
Well, video quality isn't so bad honestly.

https://youtu.be/UwDMQgeRFeU

There's a cover of a song, and throughout the entire video - you can hear faint and constant clicking noises. The room where it was recorded is dead silent, so I'm not sure where it's coming from but it's annoying!
[Nexus 6P Real Life Review] enaybee:
Video quality is excellent. However shooting at Higher frame rate (120 or 240) there is some pixelation on the screen even though resulting video doesn't show that.

There is one thing, if you are shooting slow motion video and go to review your video and then come back to camera, it defaults back to normal speed back. You have to select slow motion mode again everytime you exit out of camera viewfinder screen.
[Nexus 6P Real Life Review] deeproot:
sounds good but what is that clicking....are you saying you did this recording and you heard nothing of the sort with your human ear while recording it live?

assuming you have a human ear??

Did a test side by side next to a Z3 Compact, camera was MUCH better.
[Nexus 6P Real Life Review] Gabre:
digital stabilization is terrible, ur better off just turning it off. Its just to wobbly and unnatural.

and I get a little bit of white noise on recordings, when recording in quiet areaa.

but I like the recording more then the Note5 that I have as well, note does shoot birhter videos, but softer and less contrast. Especially in lower light where note produces unrealistic images.

To be honest it depends on the app. I've recently used qualcomm's Snap camera which was built into the CM13 builds, and it's brilliant. Packed with tonnes of feature settings and seems to have more optimised HDR capture!
[Nexus 6P Real Life Review] you5urf:
I carry both a Nexus 6p and iPhone 6S plus.

Ive dual cam videos (and phototographed) enough times to know that when it comes to anything related to recording videos or taking pictures i should always use the 6s plus.

Always overall better shots. ois colours and such.

Everything else? Mostly i stick to the 6p - My mainline and no1 device.

I used my 6P rather than a GoPro to capture a Slow Mo of an exploding laptop. I'd say I was royally impressed.

Can you adjust realtime ISO before or while recording?
[Nexus 6P Real Life Review] neo905:
Lack of OIS really hurts in this area. Video is way to shaky. Even with EIS on in 1080p. I actually think it was better before I updated to the new camera app.

I took this video at yesterdays Orbital ATK NASA QM-2 test of a solid fuel rocket motor in Promontory Utah. The video is in 4k with no zoom used.

The test site is 1.5 miles from our viewing area. It was insane when the shock wave sound hit us 7 seconds after the ignition of the rocket, there is no way you could talk to anyone during the test it was that loud!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-LGUQGsXXvo

Stats on rocket motor

Each booster burns about 6 tons per second — generating 20 percent greater average thrust than the space shuttle booster. Each unit produces 3.6 million pounds of maximum thrust — greater than 14 four-engine Boeing 747s at full takeoff power. The booster has a standing height of 177 feet and During operation, the temperature of the booster motor chamber gasses reach 5,600 degrees Fahrenheit, a temperature hot enough to boil steel. The flame exits the motor at Mach 3 and burns for a full 126 seconds.

Tonight I set my cellphone up on a tripod sitting on a rock on the side of Skyline drive which is a winding dirt mountain road. This is a two and a half hour time lapse condensed into a one minute video. You can view it on a big screen as the sun goes down you'll notice puffs of dirt clouds as people traverse the road (right side of video)during daylight. Then as sun sets the city's of Woods Cross, West Bountiful and Bountiful Utah light up and come to life.

Be sure to select the Playback quality of 2160P as this is a 4K video.

The app Time lapse Pro was used.
[Nexus 6P Real Life Review] greatgoogly:
The absence of image stabilization is a bit of a drawback, however as I record a lot of live bands the ability of the microphone to do audio without being completely horrible (Nexus 5 was horrible recording live bands) is quite welcome.

Here are a couple videos. The first was shot outside shortly before sunset, the second in a nightclub. The nightclub shot is more shaky (partially because I was juggling a beer along with the 6P)

I guess if you really needed to Casper is a good at fixing that.

For the vanilla experience, the stock camera app provides pretty good quality. Shame that you can't adjust, the exposure. But for the most part, I find the pictures to be really nice. There isn't much noise, especially when paired with HDR+.

Usually really good if you double tap the power button, but the camera app is actually a bit slow.
[Nexus 6P Real Life Review] y2whisper:
HDR could be a bit faster.
[Nexus 6P Real Life Review] Scyntherei:
I've noticed sometimes I can double tap the power button and get the camera app up almost instantaneously, focus is instant and everything's great. Other times, it lags just a tad or messes up and shows the lock screen with (I presume the camera running in the background). But overall I'm very happy with it especially coming from the Nexus 5 where it took a good 15-30sec from launch to focus, shoot, and process.
[Nexus 6P Real Life Review] jeebuspwnz:
It's a billion times faster to launch, focus, take HDR, and process photos than my Nexus6 was.
[Nexus 6P Real Life Review] radeon962:
Normal mode is good. HDR mode is still slow. Iphone still wins in the speed category.

Picture quality is a toss up with the Nexus 6P having more color or pop to the picture, similar to Samsung. Iphone is more subdued colors and possibly more realistic.

6P pictures are so much better than previous Nexus phones. I would guess that some software updates will address the speed.
[Nexus 6P Real Life Review] motoridersd:
I vote it as Average. Way too often the camera takes a long time to open, and/or the shutter button to be active
[Nexus 6P Real Life Review] fastredponycar:
It's pretty quick and about on par I'd say with my iphone 6plus of hitting the home button and swiping up on the little camera icon on the bottom corner of the screen like how android has. Seems like the actual photo taking procedure is about on par with my iphone as well.

The only thing I wish I could change (if anyone knows how) is to use a different camera app when I double tap power button or swipe up from the camera icon on the lock screen. I prefer the proshot app as it seems to just snap faster pics than the stock app and when you're dealing with things like dogs or kids that won't sit still, that's huge.
[Nexus 6P Real Life Review] motoridersd:
Oh, that's easy. Go into the details of the Google Camera app (you can get to it from App Info through Nova Launcher or go into Applications and tap on Camera. Then tap on Open by default, and then on Clear Defaults. Next time you double tap the power button, Android will ask you which Camera app you want to use to handle this action by default.
[Nexus 6P Real Life Review] fastredponycar:
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
[Nexus 6P Real Life Review] motoridersd:
Thanks for the ProShot recommendation! I love Camera FV-5 but it's slow and kind of ugly, this is clean and quick. I think I found my new favorite camera app!

---------- Post added at 01:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:20 PM ----------

Unfortunately, it looks like ProShot is missing the proper definitions for Android to see it as a Camera App that can be launched. Time to send some feedback:
[Nexus 6P Real Life Review] tele_jas:
On par with others, but not any faster. The HTC One M8/M9 and Moto X Pure seemed slightly faster.
[Nexus 6P Real Life Review] deeproot:
I agree the double tap power button is pretty great after you get used to it but the camera would delay a bit sometimes( like 1-2sec)

Since putting a custom rom and kernel I get absolutely no lag whatsoever. double click and by the time i have it up in picture taking stance its ready.
[Nexus 6P Real Life Review] androidkid311:

Hi,

The camera lags when I rotate the Camera from landscape to portrait and vice versa. It also lags when I move it around a bit. The lag is just for about a second but it's disconcerting nonetheless.

I actually have some concerns about fast charging and battery degradation. I'm not a battery expert but I have had a lot of Li-Ion IMR batteries for other electronic devices. I noticed that rapidly charging those batteries reduces battery life and charge capacity. Now I know the Nexus 6P has a Li-Poly or Li-Po battery and it has a sightly different composition than an IMR (Magnesium vs. Polymer) but does anyone know how Li-Po batteries handle repeated fast charging?
