Lol. Seriously now though. Colour temp. is defo off. Love my g4 for the extra sensor to deal with accurate colours howver the detail is really great and maybe just maybe software updates will correct this. If manual mode can zte can if they can be bothered :)
[ZTE Axon 7 Real Life Review] 0gati:
That is quite yellow. Grab a white piece of paper and put it in front of the axon 7 and see if the color temperature adjusts to reflect a non tinted white. If it does then there's nothing wrong with your camera, if it stays yellow then there is.

Also please go into manual mode and select the 'white balance' setting and change it to the 'correct' setting to see if it adjusts correctly (neutral). If it still has a yellow tint when you manually set the white balance then there's a defect. If it ends up looking right you might have a buggy camera app and I'd recommend resetting the cache on the app.

You can also shoot in manual mode and set all your settings (iso, shutter-speed, focus, etc) to auto and set your white balance manually depending on the scene.

Let us know if when you manually set the white balance if that fixes it!
[ZTE Axon 7 Real Life Review] ludovicien:
Thanks, I'll do that as soon as there's some daylight. I described the issue to ZTE after sales and they just said send it in for a replacement but I'll try your suggestion.

I've got better results using manual settings but that's not really the point and there still far too much yellow.
[ZTE Axon 7 Real Life Review] 0gati:
Sounds good - if you can get a replacement for free that'd be the best incase you run into other problems with the camera later. Best of luck!
[ZTE Axon 7 Real Life Review] adampdx:
It might look better, but it's wrong. If you want that sort of tint, it should be done in post. The other photo has the correct white balance. I have noticed this as well with my Axon, but I generally get a green tint. Other than that, as long as I tell the camera where to focus, the pictures are pretty decent. I'm really missing my N6, though.
[ZTE Axon 7 Real Life Review] noeldavid:
I returned my Axon 7 today before the 2 week return period expired at best buy. After I upgraded to b27 I hoped for the modem signal, auto focus problems to be resolved but they did not. I suffered because I liked it a lot because of the beautiful screen with 530ppi, the AWESOME front facing speakers and the STRONG 3.5mm headphone jack! It was a pleasure to finally being able to fully drive my expensive headphones! For an extra $250 I get 7.1 without problems but hope the Pixel XL has better speakers than the HTC 10 because even thou they are not loud they provide more clarity with that subwoofer for the mids facing down (2 speakers facing down and the ear piece speaker would be awesome)
[ZTE Axon 7 Real Life Review] baymon:
My first decent quality pic from this phone. Somewhere in Galveston.

Had to do this multiple times too since the camera was having the focus issue.

ISO 100, 3.5 ss. This camera has really soft corners Btway.
[ZTE Axon 7 Real Life Review] MrWilsonxD:
Took another nice one today on auto. :laugh:

Thanks for that great advice [MENTION=6754973]OgaT[/MENTION]i. I cleared cache and data in the camera app and you can see the results below.

Anyone tried taking snaps of anything that moves yet ? Like animals or children.
[ZTE Axon 7 Real Life Review] 0gati:
Awesome! Glad it wasn't a defect in the camera. The shots look amazing.
[ZTE Axon 7 Real Life Review] ludovicien:
Low, lower and very low light. All photos taken in Brussels, HDR auto and untouched. I've tried some manual shots but find it a bit tricky fine-tuning the white balance. I'd much rather have raw access and fix it later.

HDR is not a patch on the Nexus HDR+ but it's not a disaster.
[ZTE Axon 7 Real Life Review] MrWilsonxD:
Some more photos I took over the past couple days. :laugh:

A few are night photos... Like 10PM only lights are from the building itself and a few street lights..

So how do you like the camera compared to your last phone ? And any chance of some moving shots please. I have heard several reviews stating it's not great at capturing moving things in auto mode
[ZTE Axon 7 Real Life Review] MrWilsonxD:
LOVE it compared to my old note 4. This phone is better in every single aspect besides the dearly beloved s pen..

Pictures of moving things like people? I'll try and get a picture of my nephew when they come back into town..
[ZTE Axon 7 Real Life Review] ludovicien:
You know, I think you're right.
[ZTE Axon 7 Real Life Review] max1001:
Low light PQ got a lot better with B27 update. Too bad the update broke other thing like MIC.
[ZTE Axon 7 Real Life Review] bhint15:
I feel my photos are fuzzy and distorted around the edges. I'll try and get some examples tonight. Looking at the lens behind the glass it appears the camera isn't centered behind the glass, which could be a hardware defect on my particular phone. I do agree with other posts overall so far I'm happier with my 6p camera which makes me sad.

Also couldn't agree more about movement I can get any moving object with my 6p with my axon, I know it will be a blurred mess.
[ZTE Axon 7 Real Life Review] ipmanwck:
Now that's crappy. I need good freeze ability for my 3 crazy children ! Not sure why it cannot get a good moving image as specs would suggest it could. Can you get a good one in manual mode ?
[ZTE Axon 7 Real Life Review] owlbeard:
I feel like it does fairly well with movement....if there is enough light. I was impressed with the photos I took of my daughter at a splash park earlier this month. The water lookes awesome... IMO
[ZTE Axon 7 Real Life Review] ipmanwck:
It captures that moving water really well. Yes there is loads of light whic helps a lot. Would be interested to see if you can capture here moving indoors in a house. Most of my photos are of the 3 boys running around in doors.
[ZTE Axon 7 Real Life Review] owlbeard:
It does not do well in doors. It should, but does not.
[ZTE Axon 7 Real Life Review] ipmanwck:
Could you post an indoor shot please. I hear it is bad indoors but how bad is what I'm worried about... Is it moto x style bad ? Or galaxy note 4 bad which was ok just yellow.
[ZTE Axon 7 Real Life Review] owlbeard:
Depends on the lighting and subject movement. This is my son. Not exactly a still photograph. I do have better results with the stock camera app. The one on his back is using Open Camera.
[ZTE Axon 7 Real Life Review] owlbeard:
One on his stomach is with stock camera. I did have to adjust slightly using google photos auto.
[ZTE Axon 7 Real Life Review] ipmanwck:
Thanks that's very kind. Yes I see what you mean there is some obvious grain present. Could you give me an idea of time of day and if it was dark with lights in etc. Just trying to judge
[ZTE Axon 7 Real Life Review] owlbeard:
Here is a less than flattering photo of my wife at the bar. It was pretty dark. Open Camera did better. No flash, but the is still very skewed to the lighter.
[ZTE Axon 7 Real Life Review] ipmanwck:
That's better than I expected. So are you using a different camera app because the stock one sucks ? Here is a indoor photo of my little horrors .... Just cause we are sharing and want to see if any processing happens on upload ;) taken on my G4

[ZTE Axon 7 Real Life Review] ludovicien:
Could someone look at their Axon 7 shots full size and see if they're having the same issues as me in the pics attached? I'm not sure my phone is ok.

These are three crops from the same photo shot on auto at 1/160 and ISO 100.

I've noticed that all of my photos are very soft and fuzzy on just the left hand side NOT the right and nice and sharp at the middle as you can see in the shots of the building. Does this mean the lens is a bad one?

Also, people walking end up very blurred, as you can see in the example below of a couple ambling along. The background is nice and sharp but they are definitely not This didn't happen with my non-ois phones and it seems an odd thing to happen with stabilization at 1/160.

What do you think, camera people? :confused:
[ZTE Axon 7 Real Life Review] ipmanwck:
Detail looks gold in the building ones especially the right side. Couldn't notice the fuzziness on my phone would need to look on a computer. I read in a review the HDR processing is so crap and slow it always blurs movement, we're you using HDR in the shots ?
[ZTE Axon 7 Real Life Review] ludovicien:
Thanks for your reply. HDR was probably on but does not explain why the left-hand side is fuzzy and the right-hand side perfectly sharp. In every picture. Also happens in portrait, so rather than day left hand, I'll say the third of the sensor closest to the bottom of the phone.
[ZTE Axon 7 Real Life Review] ipmanwck:
Could you take the same shots without hdr on please and we can see the differences. Am sure those people won't mind coming back again )))
[ZTE Axon 7 Real Life Review] strifej:
Can anyone on a U (US) model confirm the B27 update improves low light? I haven't gotten around to updating, but after taking pics side by side with my friend's S7 edge, there's literally no comparison.. haha. Lowlight is way behind on our A7 (B20 update anyways).
[ZTE Axon 7 Real Life Review] hectorcde:
how fast is the camera when you shoot a photo in comparison to an iphone 6s/7 or HTC / s7.
[ZTE Axon 7 Real Life Review] emudojo:
I "feel" it was improved, actually last night I shot a few pictures with it and they look decent, to me.

same as above just full auto, it was very dark *in real life too*

this is from the window in my bus, it was raining outside, and I wanted to macro shot the drops, turned out pretty cool
[ZTE Axon 7 Real Life Review] MrWilsonxD:
There doesn't seem to be a picture attached!

Someone asked me to get some moving shot pictures.. Best I could do was from long distance at a roller derby..

I attempted three pictures, and those are the three. I'm pretty satisfied with the camera.. I'd give it a grade of B-. If we were grading on a curve, I'd give it a B.

I bought a nexus 6p to accompany my axon 7 and the pictures on the nexus are way better... :/

Still love my axon though! The edge it has over my nexus is manual mode.. So I can get some awesome focus distanced shots.. Not sure how to do that on my nexus with the same precision as my axon.

Axon 7 doesn't support AptX-Aptx HD as G5 unfortunately.

So there's no any benefit from stereo Bluetooth(I'm having 2 LG Tone Platinum 1100 that support AptX HD but can't benefit from Axon 7)

I've try it on friend G5 and there's big difference in sound quality between 2 phones.

[ZTE Axon 7 Real Life Review] Eizenstahl:
Any chance to see some of you guys's (if that is a word :) ) Snap Camera photos?
[ZTE Axon 7 Real Life Review] kostasgrpanatha:
I Just did a quick comparison so you can take a look but i am at work so nothing special! I took a photo with the snap camera and one with the default camera app.. both with iso 100 and all the other setting at auto.. i took the picture in 12M for both and i did also a 100% crop..i ll do more comparison tests later.
[ZTE Axon 7 Real Life Review] Eizenstahl:
That is a serious difference. The ZTE camera-app must be.... well sub-par/buggy. Looks like serveral steps on the + side of exposure compensation.

[ZTE Axon 7 Real Life Review] meboy:
Thanks guys.

Yup. As suspected. Snap Camera is great.

I tried all the most popular ones and it stands out. It's like the others just use the default camera app with their name and maybe bumped up contrast or something. Pretty useless most of them.

I may need to buy this phone now..

Signal issues was the only other thing holding me back.

No filter, straight from the camera.

I just got the phone two days ago, and been using the camera on and off. I know nothing about photography, but I know it isn't as good as my friends' 6Ps or OP3s. I do know that it's miles better than my old Nexus 4, so it's an upgrade for me. I think with a little better software processing, it can be as good as the OP3.

It has something to do with bitrate. LinusTechTips made a video about this but im not near a computer.

[ZTE Axon 7 Real Life Review] RobboW:
I was messing around with the Axon 7 this afternoon. Fitted a phone mount at the top of my front windscreen in the car and took some footage whilst driving with the windows fully open. In all previous phones this resulted in really bad audio with wind noise and vibrations destroying what I would want to hear.

Pleased to say, the recorded audio with the A7 is shockingly good! It's loud and clear with great dynamic range and doesn't pull back with a sudden loud noise. Very real. Will install a crashcam app to see how that looks and sounds, although I have a fairly good dual camera crash cam installed already.

ZTE have implemented audio recording with the DAC very well but the mics must be better than average too.
