Thanks man! When you see the photo in a phone it looks way awesome but when you look at it in a PC it's pretty out of focus but it was so difficult for me to get close, to held the phone steady and i was trying to use the aperture mode to see if i could get some blurry background and overall im happy with that picture.
[Huawei Mate 9 Real Life Review] p51d007:
Ummm...it's a phone. I'm a avid photographer (dSLR and a bunch of lenses). It does good enough for what I use a phone camera for. I don't base my preferences, on how good/bad a pinhole sensor does.

[Huawei Mate 9 Real Life Review] icemankent:
I am (almost) ready to pull the pin, and get a Mate 9, but I have one reservation - about the camera photo quality.

Specifically, the level of "detail" - that is present in Auto mode.

I recently bought a oneplus5t, and was immediately disappointed with its photo quality. Its photos were noticeably (soft), and upon zooming in, the culprit was an extreme lack of details.

In short, they looked horrible when compared to what my current LG G4 camera can produce under similar conditions.

So, from reading this thread we have opinions that range from loving it to just being "ok" with it.

Specifically for my case (I want the level of detail captured to be above average) - does the Mate 9 camera and software actually capture enough detail, to make it worthy of blowing-up the photos, and still looking sharp ?

I don't want to waste my time buying it, if it is not comparable with my old LG G4, or any of the other recent flagships out there today.

Thanks !
[Huawei Mate 9 Real Life Review] Szilard666:
Then you are and idiot or blind :D by far it has the best details form all,you would **** yourself if i post the pictures i took with my mate 9. Best camera for the price range.

[Huawei Mate 9 Real Life Review] Elsydeon:
I have a Mate 9, and wanted to try the OP5T out. In a pure point and click case, the two phone's cameras trade blows depending on the lighting situation. In bright, clear scenes, the Mate 9's camera is clearly able to capture fine details better than the OP5T's. One test I did was to take a pic from my apartment balcony down into the parking lot, and then tried zooming into the car's license plates. I could clearly read the plates from the Mate 9's pics, but this was not the case with the OP5T, where it severely blurred the plate.

OTOH, the Mate 9's camera has a pretty annoying problem with constantly overexposing pictures when there's a lot of light. If there's a clear sky with clouds for instance in the shot, it tends to light up the sky so much that the cloud details are completely lost. The OP5T is much better at this aspect.

In low light pics, the OP5T clearly ends up having an advantage. The Mate 9 surprisingly ends up blurring a lot of fine details. One test I did was to just take a pic of my desk, which has a wood grain finish. The Mate 9 tended to blur and soften the wood grain so badly that you can't make out the patterns, while the OP5T was clearly able to show the patterns. The Mate 9 also had a bad problem with underexposing the picture by default, making things look way darker than they really are.

Going into the comparison, I was expecting the Mate 9's camera to clearly win, but that is not the case at all. I think the Mate 9's camera is superior IF you have time to do manual adjustments. I personally don't though, as most shots I need to capture, need to be captured instantly. If you're not zooming in a lot for details, I think the OP5T's camera is better overall for overall accuracy of color and exposure. I'm pretty torn between the two myself right now, and to be honest, I don't think either's phone's camera is really all that great, moreso now that I have a point of reference to compare the Mate 9 to. I'm starting to lean towards spending a little extra on an S8+ or Note 8.
[Huawei Mate 9 Real Life Review] Proboarder2712:
Here.

Here's a couple I took on auto mode. I'm not a very good photographer but I like to play around on my t6i. My phone is almost always on auto mode but after this thread, I'll play around more. I won't be offended if y'all hate em. I'm just trying to show some of my better point and shoot moments.
[Huawei Mate 9 Real Life Review] gm007:
Next time clean the camera from fingerprints before taking pictures and you will get better results.
[Huawei Mate 9 Real Life Review] itsjustmeagain:
I get the impression, that the Oreo update did lower the picture quality especially when it comes to low light.

It seems there is much more noise now in darker scenes even at lower ISO levels and sometimes stripes, such pictures look oversaturated.

The camera auto mode doesn't seem to provide ISO levels above 1250 any more, in Nougat auto ISO 3200 was probably possible, but images certainly looked much better than auto ISO 1250 in Oreo.

Has anyone made similar observations?

I found out, that images in manual mode even at ISO 3200 look better, have to take some test shots this evening when it gets dark …
[Huawei Mate 9 Real Life Review] Giordy89:
I notice the same "problem".. With the auto mode the smartphone seems apply overexposed filter to light up the photo
[Huawei Mate 9 Real Life Review] bunt1691:
I personally feel like the camera is a serious competition to the SUN and the Pixel. I'M HOPING it could hold it's own vs any late 2016, early 2017 camera like the G6 and the HTC 10.

Low light may be a little hit and miss, but the Mate 9 can certainly produce accurate, detailed, low noise images.

In good light, what I love about the processing is that the Mate 9 doesn't over saturate the image. Detail is great, and the two lenses really allow you to be creative.

Having a detailed 20mp monochrome sensor really sets it apart if you want to experiment with B&W. Image quality is outstanding.

In conclusion, the lenses could have been a little brighter, as they are in the Mate 10.....but I'm seriously impressed by the Mate 9.
[Huawei Mate 9 Real Life Review] itsjustmeagain:
Yesterday my phone got it's Oreo Update from MHA-L29 8.0.0.361 (432) to 8.0.0.363.

Unfortunately the camera auto mode, which worked perfectly in Nougat and got limited after the initial Oreo Update, is still not corrected. So images taken in auto mode under low light conditions are still oversaturated and overbrightened exposing ugly noisy artefacts and lines.

Aside from project Treble, which I really appreciate, there ist nothing left in Oreo that lets me hold on to it.
[Huawei Mate 9 Real Life Review] Sui77:
I've got a Mate 9 and Pixel 2 XL.

The Software from the Pixel is much much better (HDR+), but even more sad is the crappy front cam of the Mate.

Without that, I would go for the Mate
[Huawei Mate 9 Real Life Review] itsjustmeagain:
The front cam of the Mate 9 with 8 MP and real autofocus (which is extremely rare) is actually the best I have seen in phones to date.

I never use HDR, though it's there. Every implementation I know of makes pictures look unreal …

[Huawei Mate 9 Real Life Review] Denissxx:
I broke my S7E and decided to finally ditch Samsung and their curved displays. Got Mate 9 anddd the phone is good but the auto mode under low light is reallyyyy bad. I mean there is no light in the picture at all. Every time I take pictures in extremely low light i have to go pro mode to change the shutter speed to get more light. What makes it so hard to increase the shutter speed if its really dark? Damn it. Im going to sell the phone because of that only.
[Huawei Mate 9 Real Life Review] alhadary:
Problem with the camera

Good focusing on very close objects but very poor results for other.... Is it a hardware problem? Putting in consideration that sometimes everything fixes for a while

Dam dude, those are some beautiful photos. Coming from an S7 Edge I was worried there would be a drop in picture quality but you've ailed those fears nicely.

Any chance you want to share you settings as I've seen in a couple reviews the camera can be quite confusing to get just right.
[Huawei Mate 9 Real Life Review] gavinfabl:
The waterfall, light trials and night shot were using the special modes, light painting. night mode is night mode. The monochrome shots were using the monochrome mode. Auto settings for everything. On Tuesday I will have some more high speed type photos freezing motion.
[Huawei Mate 9 Real Life Review] volcolm:
Can you guys test photos at a resolution, at say,

3 MegaPixels

?

Also, it would be interesting to see what a photo taken with B&W lens, but with 3-colour filters (R,G,B) applied and merged look like. Yes, I know the other camera is supposed to do part of this, but it would still be interesting to see this done manually just for the science.

We've come a long way in digital photography

[YOUTUBE]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZxQjMlwDA8A[/YOUTUBE]

3 Megapixel argument I believe is in this video (at 18:00 in). Want to see if this is true for this phone as well.

[YOUTUBE]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4J0Aw2Z-8-k[/YOUTUBE]

I know a few people with old Canon and Sony cameras from the early naughties - take excellent photos at 3MP. This is not the first time I've heard the 3MP argument (even by pro-sumer hobbyists), which is why I'd like to see lower resolution results.

[Huawei Mate 9 Real Life Review] samson09:
I agree that in sunny day and normal light the pictures are ok. But on low light 1.7 or 1.9 aperture in s7 edge and note 5 makes diffrent. It's to much noise from mate 9. :(

I wouldn't blame you. I personally feel that the camera on the Galaxy S6/Edge/Edge+/Note 5 is one of the best ever. I somehow like those photos better than the S7 even though the consensus is that the S7 is the best mobile camera. Regarding the Mate 9, the photos are great to me.

I had a note 5 and mate 9. Mate 9 very short because i was not happy from the pictures in low light. Too much noise and less datails than in note 5. Now I have s7 edge and there is much better in low light. 1.7 aperture makes diffrent than 2.2. In Day light all phones make great pictures. No too much differents. Mate 9 has better pro mode in my opinion because has ISO up to 3200 (s7 edge up to 800) and better times up to 30 sec if I remember (s7 has up to 10s).

Mate 9 has also nice BW, night mode and aperture mode. After all S7 edge makes better pictures for me. More sharpness and more quality. But it is only my opinion.

Mate 9 can take better low light shots than the S7 with a tripod. In fact most shots I take with the Mate 9 I prefer easily over any Samsung shot.

The one area the S7 has an advantage is as mentioned above the f/1.7 meaning in lower light movement is easily to capture well.

However, the Mate 9 has lots of special camera modes, which for a pro photographer makes it a dream.
[Huawei Mate 9 Real Life Review] samson09:
Yes with a tripod you can make great static photo in night mode. But in real life you dont always have a tripod and it is impossible to take a photo of your children. In this case s7 is better for me.

[Huawei Mate 9 Real Life Review] D1G1TE:
I have S7 Edge as well and photos from it are way too oversharpened. S7 post processing algorhytms are creating artificially detail, that does not exist in real scene. If that is what you want, S7 is better for you. Not mentioning fact that for some reason max manual ISO 800 (1250 auto) is practically unusable on S7, whole photo is muddy from hard noice reduction. On Mate even ISO 3200 looks same or better, than 800 on S7. Still, if I want to shoot some serious pictures I grab my Sony a6000 with 1.8 lens, night n day compared to any phone available today. My opinion is that both cameras S7 and Mate 9 have their pros and cons, but fact that I can now live 3 days on single charge and my phone is not getting hot like hell, when doing basic things like watching youtube video. Mate 9 wins overall as a whole package for me.

[Huawei Mate 9 Real Life Review] OnePlusPat16:
The S7 does have a great camera. However, it over-processes images way too much. And the reason I think people like it so much, is because of the over saturated colors.

The colors that come from that camera are not natural at all. Nice pictures, but not accurate, in my opinion.
[Huawei Mate 9 Real Life Review] OnePlusPat16:
I think the pictures the mate 9 takes are more on the true to life. Also, low light shots are not an issue. I think they look great. Here's a pic of my dog in a low light situation...
[Huawei Mate 9 Real Life Review] sobelixtus:
Agree + crazy fast autofocus. Autofocus is really the only thing that I am missing from old S7E.

Otherwise Mate 9 is better from every aspect, but this is only my opinion [emoji4]

Do you recommend mate 9 for me?

[Huawei Mate 9 Real Life Review] sobelixtus:
Well, that depends on how deep you are in Apple's ecosystem?

But if you are willing to jump into another ecosystem, then Mate 9 is very good option.

Camera is much better than in iPhone 6s plus. Mate 9 camera is even better (IMHO) than in iPhone 7plus and I have both.

So in overall it is all about your current situation. With Mate 9 you will get much better camera and hardware, but change might be difficult if you are deep in Apple's ecosystem :)

[Huawei Mate 9 Real Life Review] vikramdhani:
So true
[Huawei Mate 9 Real Life Review] cd993:
Hi, has any one else faced any issues with night shot mode? Seems mine crashes on me each and every time. Every other mode works so far as I can tell, though this one sticks on 'processing' and I have to reboot in order to get the camera working again. I have unlocked and rooted my MHA-L09 and performed a factory reset. Strangely it worked the first time after the reset, but then went back to crashing. I (optimistically) doubt that it is a hardware fault as every other mode works and can take HDR in low light situations, as well as being able to adjust all other settings that would be used in the low light mode (ISO etc.).

Hopefully someone could post a solution but unsure what that would be but at least wanted to reach out in the forum to see if anyone else has experienced this issue.

Many thanks in advance.

Thanks for responding!

I'm wondering if it's something I've done when I unlocked/rooted etc. I did temporarily brick my device and had to restore with Funky Huawei. I restored the MHA-L09C432 and wondering if perhaps that was the correct one for my device. I bought my MHA-L09 from Three UK and made an educated guess that the firmware was the correct one. Perhaps I should have flashed the C185 or C33? Though these are for different regions and so probably not! Hmm...
