Regarding the photos in your first post.

The photos seem noisey even in daylight shots.. .

Did you install the latest firmware update which did improve the camera ?
[Mate 8 General] Emerald Core:
I shouldn't be making an issue if the graphics wasn't behaving that way. If in this mid-tier game graphics can't be handled then there is probably plenty other games that will show same behaviour or even worse. It has to be tested further.

As for crashing. Thanks for reminding, It will be updated soon.
[Mate 8 General] Emerald Core:
Yes it has been updated to the latest before performing any test.
[Mate 8 General] Emerald Core:
Visit my profile at smug mug for original photos from Mate 8 at full resolution.
[Mate 8 General] mscion:
Hi. A few questions that would be helpful for me.

For those testing games does it make a difference whether you have the 3GB or 4GB version of Mate 8?

Could someone provide the length and width of the screen in use, say in mm. I'd like to compare to my Note Edge.

Just trying to understand. In some of the pictures I've seen here , the colors look ok but they are a little grainy to me. Would folks have some some comparisons between Note 4 or 5 and Mate 8?

Thanks!
[Mate 8 General] blackinfinity:
I wonder if something is wrong I think the camera pictures look absolutely horrible..
[Mate 8 General] mrcpa:
Hi guys, and thanks Emerald for this topic.

I'm an italian viewer so, sorry for my english.

Anyway, i'd like to ask something about the camera :

1) With the "night mode" , this smartphone doesn't have the "Manual Mode" (where you can choose the shutter speed) ? right ?

2) What do you think about the camera? i saw some photos and in a low light they don't look so fine ..i'm worried about this.... there is no comparison with LG G4/V10 , right ? i hope i'm wrong because i love huawei.

Thank you so much and sorry again if something i wrote is incomprehensible.
[Mate 8 General] Emerald Core:
Dimensions as of GSM Arena : 157.1 x 80.6 x 7.9 mm (6.19 x 3.17 x 0.31 in)

I have the 4gb version so I can comment on that version only. There is no noticable freeze nor multi app slowness while see switching. 3GB will do just fine since both share the same processor.

Pictures are taken randomly while walking or driving just like any casual person. I have yet to discover HDR and Professional modes.

Note 5 offers top in class image processing for casual shooting.
[Mate 8 General] Emerald Core:
Everything looks normal while randomly shooting. I have yet to post still images. Maybe that is what you are refering to.
[Mate 8 General] Emerald Core:
Hey thanks and glad if I can help.

http://i.imgur.com/cft1R2W.jpg

Notice that Exposure and ISO controls are both available on super night. No sign of shutter speed though since the night mode has 23 seconds continuous photo taking and then combines into one.

LG flagship camera can take excelllent low lights, as well as the Nexus 6P.

I cannot comment on the camera yet since my night shots were randomly taken unsteadily. To be fair I have to take steady day and night shots in order to judge the new camera.

Happy Holidays everyone!
[Mate 8 General] mscion:
Hi. Thanks for the info. In regards to the dimensions I was refering to the hight and width of the screen alone, not the dimensions of the entire device. Perhaps someone can measure with ruler. The diagonal is not informative enough for me.
[Mate 8 General] NZtechfreak:
Agree, but without a comparison shot in the same conditions from a cellphone whose camera is a known quality it is a little difficult to make definitive comment. Hopefully on the weekend after xmas I will be able to borrow my friends spare S6 Edge+ for direct comparisons.

Yes, it has a full manual mode and shutter speed selection is available to the user. Super night mode also allows for this, but is more limited in other options.
[Mate 8 General] mrcpa:
Thank you guys!!

I really hope that the camera can compare with G4/Note 5...

It would be awesome!

I do care because you can't always have the reflex with you... And if you've a smartphone that takes great photos (g4) it can be really helpful, sometimes.

It's a good plus, I think.

Hi, can you take some pics in low light/night. Use regular shot and HDR comparison. Much appreciated. And of course if you have other top camera phones to compare would be awesome too. Thanks.
[Mate 8 General] qjsmartphone:
it's called MONEY
[Mate 8 General] jbmc83:
right sooo....spending 700 bucks on a phone prevents you from spending 300 bucks on an actual camera with 10 times the picture quality? :D
[Mate 8 General] Nafiganado:
Hahaha, indeed, sounds reasonable.

Though, I myself am not so strict regarding smartphone's cam as I've been before.

I do have DSLR, however, especially when i walk a lot and have to take a couple of lenses (portrait-, tele-) and swap them forward and back for different scenarios, often getting dust inside, I start dreaming about good camera in my smartphone, that is always with me and does not take a lot of space and time to deploy.

Well, I do have good camera in my Nubia, but topic is not for that.

Camera not good? How can you say this?

Inviato dal mio LG-V480 utilizzando Tapatalk
[Mate 8 General] AndreiLux:
It has severe issues with focus. We're still not sure if this is a software or a hardware design issue.

I'll be able to post more info about this after the CES launch on Tuesday.
[Mate 8 General] mrcpa:
Thanks

Inviato dal mio LG-V480 utilizzando Tapatalk
[Mate 8 General] NZtechfreak:
What is the issue you're having? Focus hasn't been a particular problem with mine, mine resolves noticeably less fine detail than my Note 4 however (on balance a lot of the shots are more pleasing when not pixel peeping though as white balance and colour reproduction is more true to life than my Note 4).

EDIT: Should mention I always select a focus point before shooting, in my experience that is required on all smartphones to get more consistently good shots.
[Mate 8 General] AndreiLux:
Open the camera in professional mode and open up the manual focus slider (AF -> MF) so that it's visible in the interface. Now focus on things by pressing on the screen and you will see the focus slider adjust depending on the distance to the object. Try this out from very near to far objects. The issue is (and if you have it and can reproduce it) is that the camera will focus to infinity for any objects beyond 50cm-1m distance.
[Mate 8 General] NZtechfreak:
Interesting, yes, it does generally select infinity. I will have to check the EXIF data for my shots outside of Professional mode and see if replicated there...
[Mate 8 General] AndreiLux:
That's why shots of far objects are horribly blurry and unsharp, because

1) the camera's maximum focal point for the actual lens is somewhere far closer and we essentially have a near-sighted phone.

2) the software's focus algorithm is currently broken and it doesn't focus correctly.

Here's hoping that it's 2) and that it can be fixed otherwise it's going to be sad.
[Mate 8 General] altaz:
Is this what was discussed in the Q&A forum regarding the camera?
[Mate 8 General] AndreiLux:
I missed that thread, yes, that's the issue. The B129SP02 update doesn't seem to totally fix it but at least it's improved. I have an international/european model and didn't get the update yet so I can't confirm it yet.
[Mate 8 General] mscion:
I hope they get it right. My Note Edge has f/2.2 and the Mate 8 has f/2 so I assumed the Mate 8 might do a little better in lower light than my Edge. With all the other features of the Mate 8, I was strongly considering it but a poorer camera would be a deal breaker for me. Was wondering, would using the google camera apk instead of the default Mate 8 camera help or is this a more fundamental problem with the phone? You mentioned that you have the international/European model.Would you know if this model is different from what Huawei is going to demo at CES? Also, if you go into recovery, is the text in Chinese? Thanks!

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.GoogleCamera

Don't know if it works on Mate 8 but does work on my Note Edge
[Mate 8 General] AndreiLux:
I have an NXT-L29, this should be a European version I think? They didn't even tell me what bands it supports but I guess it works around here.

Huawei just officially confirmed to me stating that they'll fix the camera issue via software "in the near future". My review is going up tomorrow as the event starts so I'll be able to talk more about it then.
[Mate 8 General] geovass:
I think the NXT-AL10 is the International version;
[Mate 8 General] AndreiLux:
No that's the Chinese all-carrier variant.

Okay! Thank You very much for Your comments.
[Mate 8 General] kolembo:
That changed last year.

From now on, no-one is going to walk around with two devices, one for photos, and one for calls/gaming/internet etc.

No-one.

In fact, look to dedicated cameras increasingly becoming SIM enabled.

From this year, if your smart phone can't take good point-and-shoot photos, you're dead.

That's the industry, not me.

This was always going to be the case.

Tablets are next.
[Mate 8 General] jbmc83:

[Huawei Watch] BoatA:
Are there any watch faces that keep showing the seconds ticking even in dimmed mode? Or is it a limitation in android wear?
[Huawei Watch] gottahavit:
I don't know if it's allowed in the apps or not, but even if it was you're battery life would go to crap in a hurry.
[Huawei Watch] Lepa79:
I have not see one. But agree, that would be a battery hit.
[Huawei Watch] BoatA:
Sure, but I get 2,5 days of battery (always on, using only watch faces that doesn't dim but stops the ticking, turning the watch off at night) so I'd like to test running it with the ticking and see if I got through a day. I'd say it'd be worth a try.
[Huawei Watch] smjoshi:
It is not a wear limitation. I haven't see any ready-made watch faces which show the second hand ticking even in the dimmed mode. But you can use a tool like Watchmaker to create such a watchface (or use some existing Watchmaker watch face and customise it) to show the ticking second had. No idea how much of an extra drain it will be on your battery though.
[Huawei Watch] BoatA:
Are you sure you can actually customize the watch faces in Watchmaker to show the ticking of the seconds? I've done a few customizations in Watchmaker but I haven't found a way to keep showing the seconds. If you know of a way, let me know :)
[Huawei Watch] smjoshi:
You are right. My mistake. You can make it "show" the second hand in the dim mode by setting "Always Show" but not make it tick once the dim mode kicks in. Readson I was fooled is - on your mobile where you are editing the watchface there is a button which helps you simulate the bright and dim modes to let you see what the face may look like on the watch. When you press this button to simulate teh dim mode, for the face I was working on the second hand continued to tick. but once I transfered the face to the watch it stopped ticking!
[Huawei Watch] BoatA:
Yes, that was the conclusion I too arrived at. It's a little surprising that Watchmaker doesn't simply have a non-dimmed mode option.

And even more surprising that Watchmaker lacks a backup option :)
[Huawei Watch] player911:
I used Styler. They have a "full ambient" mode that displays animations and additional details. It basically is a black amd white version of the actual watch face.
