Camera is the worst part of this device

I'm not that experienced in the mobile photography,

But the camera is the worst part of this device after so much over hype (advertised)

Now I'm trying out snap camera, ported paranoid, snapdragon and Google HDR+ camera.

In the past I used Nokia n92, Nokia n8, Samsung galaxy note 2, Xiaomi mi4, Xiaomi mi5, and now op5.

And in my photo collection, Nokia n8 photos are so much better than op5 in proper light, night photos without flash all of them are junks, but in some mi5 photos are at same level or some time more detailed (because of ois I think)

Some people saying that those who complaint about camera sud buy dslr or other high end devices. You guys don't have the right to tell us what to do, we have the right to point the ugly side of the device because we paid for it.
[OnePlus 5 Real Life Review] kvlt:
I've been having a pretty terrible experience myself. It seems almost impossible for me to just take a decent shot without incredible focus and time spent clicking around trying to get the right balance.

The camera has potential in that I've grabbed a few great shots, but the best camera is the one you have with you, and moment to moment this thing is pretty terrible.

Having had the pixel previously, I can say I'm definitely hugely disappointed. Everything else about the phone is pretty on point, but the blurriness and grainy nature of the photos I'm getting is definitely a let down given the advertising.
[OnePlus 5 Real Life Review] 83097markcynt:
For the price of this phone the camera is adequate I guess. Like others have said though OnePlus hyped up the camera too much. I need a better camera experience with better quality and more accurate color reproduction. I know I could get a dedicated camera but it's not practical for me. I will be getting the pixel 2 and giving my OnePlus 5 to a family member.
[OnePlus 5 Real Life Review] WaxysDargle:
camera works perfectly fine for me. digital cameras just suck at low light shots. they all do.

it's a huge step up from my 3T. it had serious focusing issues, which made OIS useless.

all of my daytime shots look great. some of the lowlight shots come out crummy, but most are good. on par with MOST flagships.
[OnePlus 5 Real Life Review] davionpeace:
I wasn't expecting too much from the camera, maybe they could improve it with software updates.
[OnePlus 5 Real Life Review] jeanmichel.castaing:
Amazing low light pic using Google caméra Apk

[OnePlus 5 Real Life Review] Nick James:
Still hoping for the camera to be fixed. I bought this phone for the camera and so far the camera has been a HUGE let down for the marketing stunt they pulled.
[OnePlus 5 Real Life Review] autoalex:
What phone did you have before?
[OnePlus 5 Real Life Review] Yousvel:
I am sure OP will improve OP5 camera as does Essential phone.
[OnePlus 5 Real Life Review] WibblyW:
For those who use RAW...

Can/does the camera actually save RAW + JPG

Are the RAWs very 'clean' and a good basis for really good photos without too much noise and artifacts if you choose to edit them?

What RAW editing software is available - does Photoshop, for example, recognise the RAWs, are they in an open format?

If the answers to the above are yes, this sounds like an ok solution for me for a phone with 128GB of storage. JPGs for quick and dirty shots, edited RAWs for when it matters, decide after you've taken the phots and get home
[OnePlus 5 Real Life Review] jrsamp:
Agree with Nick James. I came from a LG G4 and still have it. GREAT sensor, true color and clean photos.

And i'm very disappointed with OP5' photos quality, too :(

Waiting for some good news from Oneplus, to save my investment :confused:
[OnePlus 5 Real Life Review] kirikou_s:
In pro mode, low light, and a post HDR treatment, the op5 camera can work wonders. The work made by one plus in incredible.

[OnePlus 5 Real Life Review] gonsa:
Do you guys use the HQ mode in any circunstances or is it useless?
[OnePlus 5 Real Life Review] dlads:
Few pics over the weekend.
[OnePlus 5 Real Life Review] dlads:
Where the difference? I can't tell
[OnePlus 5 Real Life Review] misc001:
HDR treatment?
[OnePlus 5 Real Life Review] kirikou_s:
Some untouched, some touched, and some received a post HDR treatment with easyHDR from three pictures with different shutter time. You can see in the description of the picture, if there is a treatment or not.

Also, when the stars are lengthened, it means an HDR treatment with a rotation of the earth between the different shots.
[OnePlus 5 Real Life Review] kirikou_s:
Someone can help me to check an issue with the camera please.

The test consist to take two pictures in pro mode with the following parameters:

ISO=100

WB=auto

Aperture time more than 1s (Ideally 10s to 30s)

To have a correct image, you must be In the night or a room night time without a lot of light.

Just fix the phone during the aperture time, do not hold by hand, put against something or a stand.

Take one picture with focus in manual -> infinite and another one with focus in auto (Click into a far target)

In my side, the infinite focus, in this condition, is not working, the auto focus is working, but I don't know if this is a bug or an hardware issue.

Thanks for help.
[OnePlus 5 Real Life Review] Keyvannn:
Has galaxy j7 pro better camera?
[OnePlus 5 Real Life Review] WaxysDargle:
FYI google camera with HDR+ changes everything
[OnePlus 5 Real Life Review] stubey:
Yea I use it. It makes for slightly better low light shots. It drops iso and slows shutter speed so you need a steady hand, but it results in a less noisy shot.
[OnePlus 5 Real Life Review] WaxysDargle:
this is in a very low light situation with google HDR+

with OOS cam, this shot would have gone into the trash.

i dare say... with HDR+ this thing keeps up with the s8
[OnePlus 5 Real Life Review] DoubleDroz:
Which version of the Google Cam app are you using, and what settings?

I'm using a really old build, that has excellent low-light shots, and none of those have the dot-matrix type effect that every other build I've tried has on the OP5.

Can you link your apk and your settings?
[OnePlus 5 Real Life Review] WaxysDargle:
i am using version 5.1.014.171916386

Model: Pixel2XL

Config HDR+: NEXUS 6 no ZSL

HDR+ PARAMETERS: Medium

everything else default

i think it does still have that dot-matrix effect, but it works so well i don't really care. it is still in the list of downloads in the OP, near the bottom.

can you show me what kind of results you are getting? what version you using?
[OnePlus 5 Real Life Review] TheGripper:
Big difference between stock camera and Google's camera with hdr+. When taking lowlight photos, no doubt what camera I would choose..
[OnePlus 5 Real Life Review] kirikou_s:
De Google camera can (only) do that.
[OnePlus 5 Real Life Review] kirikou_s:
But the stock camera in pro mode can do that
[OnePlus 5 Real Life Review] HamburgerxDDD:
When using gcam, do you guys have fps issue with it?
[OnePlus 5 Real Life Review] MrWilsonxD:
I use gcam for photos oos cam for videos. Best commination.

---------- Post added at 09:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:16 PM ----------

I think hq marginally improves low light photos. Marginally. I haven't used oos cam as my dedicated camera application since gcam came out. Photos are much better
[OnePlus 5 Real Life Review] dlads:
I'm happy with the OOS camera especially the depth effect, pretty major part of the camera set up.

Low light is fair on OOS. Don't take a massive amount of low light tbh. Might give Gcam another whirl but the focus is pretty crappy. Can mean missing a shot
[OnePlus 5 Real Life Review] DoubleDroz:
I'm using version 4.4.020.163412804 and I _think_ it's MGCB_7.0H_C2API_v.4.0_AllinOne_Full_Manual_NO_HDR+_ON_FIRST_LAUNCH.apk - but I could be wrong about that. Settings are in the (hopefully) attached image.

Will attach photos when I have more time to sort through all the crap I took (I may have deleted all the dot-matrix side-by-sides)
[OnePlus 5 Real Life Review] bullooka:
Yes
[OnePlus 5 Real Life Review] narshi shukla:
I think camera is very good but bokeh effect is terrible

Mostly it fails to define edges and mostly it blues non uniformly (blurs wrong parts even sometimes it blurs foreground object too)

Recently i used honor 6x and the bokeh effect of honor 6x is much much much better than op5.

Other than that camera comes out to be a good however when I compared it with flagship(s7 edge lg v20 and even htc 10 was beating op5 which is very bad) i think these problems can be fixed by a software update if oneplus admits that their biggest promise is weakest feature of op5
[OnePlus 5 Real Life Review] dego_:
Speaking of Huawei phones. My wife's P9 makes way better photos (including bokeh). But that's my humble opinion :)

---------- Post added at 05:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:06 PM ----------

I noticed much more noise on photos mage by google camera (I mean low light conditions).
[OnePlus 5 Real Life Review] TheGripper:
You have to have the settings just right and hdr+ enabled. Without hdr+ the photos look average, with it enabled, so much better than the stock.
[OnePlus 5 Real Life Review] dego_:
I use HDR+ always
[OnePlus 5 Real Life Review] AnDrOiDnEoV:
When will the water color paint effect go? Why Oneplus camera sucks?
[OnePlus 5 Real Life Review] hknisl:
OSS cam sucks

I love this phone except for the camera software. Here is a photo album from my visit to Hagia Sophia Museum in Istanbul on last Sunday. OSS version was 4.5.15 and I tried to take the same picture with both OOS Cam (2.5.15) and Google Camera Mod (5.1.018 I guess).

There are huge differences between the shots. I wish they could release a better app :(

photos. app.goo.gl/Anca0d4Qo6hBbsjp1 (remove the space after the first dot)
[OnePlus 5 Real Life Review] Generak:
Wow, those pictures from the Google Cam Mod look amazing, what settings are you using for the mod? If you could send some screenshots of them or just write them out, that would be amazing! :)
[OnePlus 5 Real Life Review] hknisl:
I used recommended settings from the HDR+ topic, model Pixel 2 XL, and Nexus 6 HDR. HDR was set on for both camera apps.
[OnePlus 5 Real Life Review] sansanc:
The original app seem to take photos out of focus.
[OnePlus 5 Real Life Review] hknisl:
I think the same thing. However, the camera and the cameraman are the same. I basically switched back and forth between the apps. IMO, there shouldn't be this much difference.
[OnePlus 5 Real Life Review] sansanc:
I installed Oreo. Later i will test the google camera app with your settings.
[OnePlus 5 Real Life Review] hknisl:
Unfortunately, Google Camera Mods do not play nice with the stable Oreo build. I didn't like the current workarounds, so will wait for an updated app or rom.
[OnePlus 5 Real Life Review] rest1ess:
Hi, I am not sure if the gcam shots are always better. In good light, it seems to create pink dots (see attached comparison pdf) that were not present in the stock camera pic.

View attachment compare.pdf

PS: Hope the attachment is successfully uploaded.
[OnePlus 5 Real Life Review] hknisl:
That's because OnePlus's notorious Camera HAL implementation. What's worse, Oreo version doesn't play nice with GCam unless you replace system files with older versions :(
[OnePlus 5 Real Life Review] rest1ess:
Hope it works out for you soon.

TBH, personally I don't see the need to use gcam mod. The original camera app seems to function OK, whether focus, color or detail. But i have largely worked with the pro mode and RAW only, and i have realistic expectations in low light conditions.
[OnePlus 5 Real Life Review] josdin13:
I Really wanted to ask, if anyone have made the LG V30 app ported for oneplus 5.

I saw some videos using this app, is gorgeous...
[OnePlus 5 Real Life Review] Sinaptik:
Maybe you can try XML pack which allow you to install app designed for specific brand/models?
[OnePlus 5 Real Life Review] aritrab:
I agree
[OnePlus 5 Real Life Review] oVeRdOsE.:
very interresting. I took some time to look closely at your pictures, and imho most of the difference is due to post processing.

The picture with the biggest difference is the one with the bright yellow ceiling. Photo_16. I did a saturation reduction, some color adjustment and add ''pop'', and both pictures look really alike.

I've only use the google picture app to mod it.

Strange observation : 90% of your pictures are over-saturated with GCam, but photo 16 is over-saturated with OPCam... This can be caused by the low light scene.

Finaly, most people are impressed by vivid color, and imho, this is very what GCam do : too much HDR and too much saturation. Samsung doing the same.

I own a DSLR D90 Nikon, in comparison with my OP5, the picture are not so vivid, in fact they are just what they should be : reality.

But, with the RAW format, I can do what I what with photoshop, since all the information is there, even if I can't see it at first.

Both cam are very good for a cellphone, like very good for 2017 cellphone standard.

I don't think there's a best option, it's all subjective since GCam seems to do more at postprocessing.

If you don't what to tweak pictures after, yes I agree, GCam will be a better choice. Sometimes with OPCam you have to reduce noise, since the app won't do it. But at the end, all the picture info is there, just GCam will give a best render, no tweak.
[OnePlus 5 Real Life Review] bullooka:
Thats just a gimmick, to compensate for their ****in dumb camera software.
[OnePlus 5 Real Life Review] albertse2:
hi, im not sure what is it called..

but when i open my camera app, there is a black thing going on it

is it banning effect or some sort of refresh? is there a fix on that?

it will be gone after few seconds but it is irritating to wait for it before taking pictures

thanks

I just got my OP5 from Swappa. So far I'm loving it. I just found out we can do time lapse photography!
[OnePlus 5 Real Life Review] gonsa:
i love to explore night pictures with this phone
[OnePlus 5 Real Life Review] Adyzon:
I think it does a better job compared to the situation in last august. The portrait mode seems to be better now.

I'm running clean, stock, freshly installed OOS 5.0.4 on my 128/8 OP5, with updated Camera (2.5.28) and Camera service (2.1.15) .apk from apkmirror website. Removed old versions from them, before updating, cleared it's settings and files, also cache clear.

Pro-tip: If you hate the denoise in normal photo mode, use pro-mod, it turns off denoise :)

Nice big fat 1.

Reason? : No OIS, boooo

Test for proof - When a passenger in a car or bus, record a video whilst zoomed in, good lighting, check the shake it's woeful.

I really like how this one turned out.
[OnePlus 5 Real Life Review] hudfer:
Thanks for information. My OnePlus Camera have 2.5.33 and no update on Play Store but I downloaded 2.8.11 and update the app. My wife have with old version and tonight I test this versions.
[OnePlus 5 Real Life Review] Adyzon:
Thank you, for the quote.

I've tried the 2.6.xx versions on my OP5, but the portrait mode or the selfie camera wasn't working for me. It seems like they're probably made for Oneplus 6 and not for 5. The latest working for me was the 2.5.33, the one you had, I don't know about the 2.7.xx and 2.8.xx versions tho, would you be so kind and drop a feedback if you can?

Also, here's an album of my best shots with 2.5.33

Great Photos!

I am testing the 2.8.11 version and am observing that there has been an improvement, at least on the main camera. I am doing the test randomly, as if it were a normal user with automatic mode:

Does the quality of the photos is the same after the update to official stable Android 9? I've read that in some cases the quality is 60% of the quality in Oreo. Could you confirm?
[OnePlus 5 Real Life Review] kubulwg:
[MENTION=4705553]hudfer[/MENTION] How did you make such good photos? Automatic or manual mode? I am on OB 26 and both here and on 9.0.3 the camera is not good as yours. The camera version is 3.0.16
[OnePlus 5 Real Life Review] JellySquasher:
After having this phone for almost 2 years I am really glad I can say that I am really happy that I have bought this one. It can pull of some crazy shots outdoors!

Note: All these photos are unedited :)
[OnePlus 5 Real Life Review] oVeRdOsE.:
back in the days, price/phone quality ratio was probably the best on the market.

Even for today's standard the camera still very very capable. Also Gcam ports bring the step a bit further.

As per MKBHD camera comparison, its not the objective and technical professional opinion that matter on pictures first impression, but the overall look of the picture.

# over-saturated and filters , this is what people are impressed with.

And portrait mode on the op5 just do it right, I don't count how many people were impressed with my op5 shoots !

What do you guys say on 4K EIS? For me it's not that good as 1080p30FPS one also did they add EIS to 60FPS 1080p?
[OnePlus 5 Real Life Review] Kahun:
I think EIS for 60fps 1080p has already been there as I'm on 4.6.6 and I do have EIS everywhere apart from 4k
[OnePlus 5 Real Life Review] dasti555:
well thats possible
[OnePlus 5 Real Life Review] gnufle:
From what i can tell, there doesn't seem to be any EIS on 1080p 60 fps, but 1080p 30 fps and 4K has it
[OnePlus 5 Real Life Review] Kahun:
Maybe they accidentally removed it with the update lol
[OnePlus 5 Real Life Review] MrWilsonxD:
I think so, the 4k eis footage looks spectacular. 1080/60 has tons of jitters.
[OnePlus 5 Real Life Review] gnufle:
But I don't think 60 fps has ever had Image Stabilization. Atleast not on my device, because I remember testing out how good the image stabilization was on 1080p 60fps and thought to myself that it was absolute ****, only to find out later that it had amazing EIS on 1080p 30 fps
[OnePlus 5 Real Life Review] Kahun:
funny you say that I just updated to 4.6.7 and 1080p 60fps has far better EIS than any other mode like it did on previous versions of OOS
[OnePlus 5 Real Life Review] gnufle:
Hmm... I just have a hard time seeing why there wouldn't be any EIS on 1080p 60 fps for me then, because clearly it is a software-wise, and i am running the latest update. Could you maybe provide me 3 videos. One from 1080p 30 fps, 1080p 60 fps and 4k? Only if you want to of course.
[OnePlus 5 Real Life Review] Kahun:
I was chatting **** lol, can confirm 60fps doesnt have eis
[OnePlus 5 Real Life Review] gnufle:
Okay good! Less worried then ;) But you sure did sound convincing my friend!
[OnePlus 5 Real Life Review] dasti555:
I will provide it today. I'm curious personally too so I will upload it directly.

Noise in video even in normal lighting, permanent eis I hate that, they sud add an option to enable or disable it,

60 fps 1080p that's OK, but if hardware support it than they sud try to increase it,

Slow no video in 720p hate it, wish if they enable it for 1080p too, and the more slower video option (higher fPS)

Also manual mode needed for video, at least for focus and exposure.

Lack of battery saver customization

Too restricted camera apps.

They should have included options like more camera modes, filters, option to switch to telephoto camera, more depth effect tuning option, some more video options like slower slow mo, higher resolution slow no video, eis on off toggle, manual option for saturation contrast brightness...

There are lots more
