Honestly, still not impressed. Only in pro-mode with some adjustments does it make acceptable pictures

[edit]

In HDR the pictures appear WAY too bright for me. So I am sure at night this will improve.
[OnePlus 5T  Real Life Review] botkiller00:
Can you post some pictures?
[OnePlus 5T  Real Life Review] marwa90:
GtI didn't it was that awful...

Maybe i will return the OP5T when i will receive it...
[OnePlus 5T  Real Life Review] Aur3L:
Well after owning a Nexus 6p and the OP 5t , I clearly give up on hoping improvements camera wise, as the major attention that this product got from OP will fade away with the 6 and 6t. And the Nexus 6P with camera Nx is doing wayyyyy better job at taking pictures. I thought that a two years later device would fare better than this. Anyways, I seem to be lucky with the Nexus, good battery condition, great camera, it will hold on until some phone lands on the market with the same level of consistency in photography and os updates.
[OnePlus 5T  Real Life Review] Aur3L:
Well, I wished I could buy a Pixel 2 xl but the play store doesn't sell any in my country... Otherwise I would have gotten one of those.
[OnePlus 5T  Real Life Review] c20h25n3o:
I upgraded to 8.1 today (not the beta) and the picture quality seems to have improved dramatically.

Freaking finally
[OnePlus 5T  Real Life Review] damekko:
Hi, care to share how did you do it? new 1+5t user here, and just browsed to the firmware page only to see Betas.

!!!! EDIT !!!

Just upgraded phone to 8.1, got the link for the firmware from Youtube video check description for links!!!

Can't post it since i'm a new user but search for a video titled: "Oxygen Os 5.1 Stable Oreo 8.1 For Oneplus 5/5T!!!!" (whitout the quotes)

Also if u used opera VPN and set the region to UK, you could get it OTA (go into updates on the phone)

**** EDIT 2 ****

I Agree that photo quality is better using Android 8.1 (can't say how much since i'm not very of a photography person) but is very noticeable that is less blurriness overall :)
[OnePlus 5T  Real Life Review] c20h25n3o:
Sorry for the late reply, yes I used some VPN tool and selected Canada. The quality of the pics has improved so much, I am finally using the camera. I am happy, I love the phone but the "oilpaint filter" made it impossible almost to take nice pics.
[OnePlus 5T  Real Life Review] linda04:
oil painting effect is there

Hope for Gcam work on all devices
[OnePlus 5T  Real Life Review] quetzalquatl:
Stick with 2.5.28 version of stock camera. There is no painting effects as in 2.5.30.

again new camera update. https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/oneplus-ltd/oneplus-camera/oneplus-camera-2-6-95-release/

i tried, but it had a bug or this is not for OnePlus 5T. If i take vertical picture then under gallery picture is rotated 90 degree, If i take horisontal picture then it`s ok.
[OnePlus 5T  Real Life Review] quetzalquatl:
Guess is for 1+6. The "5" in 2.5.xx stand for 1+5T and the "6" in 2.6.95 stand for 1+6. Just my 2 cents.

[OnePlus 5T  Real Life Review] voolandis:
I am considering 5T since prices dropped. Is it still worth a shot? How's camera now?
[OnePlus 5T  Real Life Review] bejunk:
If you get yours, can you publish your experience? I also think about buing a 5T, just Camera holding me back :( Can you try out Google Camera maybe modded one with enabled HDR+? I read mixed stuff, but also that Pixel shoots so well because of the SW of the Google Camera, im a little confused.

thanks!

I've went for a mint condition almost unused OP6 8/128.
[OnePlus 5T  Real Life Review] rushier.ivan:
Mine's arriving next week. 6/64 mint condition as well. How's the camera doin' with yours?

EDIT: oops, didn't notice. I thought you bought the 5T. o.O
[OnePlus 5T  Real Life Review] dxdiag:
My OP 5T make good photos. I had Galaxy S9+, iPhone 7, 7 Plus, iPhone X and many other smartphones with dual camera.

This phone is a little bit worse then the flagship iPhone X and S9+, but the photos are pretty good, too!

Here some examples

And this was made without Google Cam. I think with optimized GCam it´s better!
[OnePlus 5T  Real Life Review] mmystere68:
Manual mode- stock camera

Stock camera on manual is a beast. (Slight editing)
[OnePlus 5T  Real Life Review] bejunk:
Ahoi!

Can you tell your experience on the 5T camera? I know i will not be the best but how is it when lighthing is not perfect? Are you stick wizh OxyOS or custom ROM it ? thank you!

(I want to buy an used one in mint condition in the next days but dunno if i maybe shoukld wait for the new Pixel (no fugly XL))

:D peace!
[OnePlus 5T  Real Life Review] rushier.ivan:
If you have the budget to buy the new pixel, go for it! I sticked with OOS, there are camera issues with custom ROMs, but they also have workarounds. And I ain't got no time for that! xD

Well for me, I'm quite satisfied with this camera, at least for my needs. It's not that bad. It's a fast shooter. You can get better shots with gcam (root with magisk fixes) but I haven't tested that yet.

Coming from Nexus 6 (shamu), I bought this device due to updated camera & custom ROM support. Ironically, can't find a custom ROM to replace the already awesome OxygenOS. But that's just me :D

[OnePlus 5T  Real Life Review] bejunk:
Not really in my budget but here u can get like new or new Pixel 2/XL for 360/400 if you are lucky. Many people sell it because they got it for as goodie for renewing contract. OPO 5T/6 would be same price. But thank you for the infos! And yeah OOS is the best stock room period imo. They also release quick updates and OnePlus is the best smartphone OEM imo. But I want to keep my new device for a few years (and have a good camera is very important to me) so it can cost a little more. Shamu rules, still doing great! I had it's smaller sibling, MotoX2 (2014). I will get the small Pixel3 now, I hope I can pick it up for 500 somehow... Until then I hope my S3 not dies :D

I thought getting OPO 5T too, but I saw it personally and it's just to big, especially one handed use. Im scared that I drop it. :( But feel yourself lucky you still have the 3.5mm jack, I will miss it:(

Peace!
[OnePlus 5T  Real Life Review] nplezka:

Hi,

I'm using the google camera but you can see some example of pictures with that :

[IMG="panorama"]https://i.imgur.com/fmIUS3s.jpg[/IMG]

[IMG="unmodified picture"]https://i.imgur.com/2AopVKu.jpg[/IMG]

You can see portrait mode pictures and some "landscapes" :fingers-crossed:

For me it's not a high end camera but it's ok for social network uses (and friends with iphone 8+ are jealous :silly: )
[OnePlus 5T  Real Life Review] rushier.ivan:
Awesome shots! Would you please share the specific gcam version/setup you are using? :D
[OnePlus 5T  Real Life Review] tbruckert:
Sure. I'm on the open beta 15 for the OS version.

The Gcam version is the Arnova8G2's.

I hope this helps :) !

Edit : you can't see them on the pictures I shared but sometimes you get a "dot effect" on them. Be carefull with that but the oneplus camera has been upgraded and it is better than it was at the launch

OnePlus 5T Portrait Pics Stock vs Google Camera

Here you can see the comparison of Camera after Open Beta 15 Update by OnePlus for 5T. Though they have enabled Selfie Portrait mode for the phone. Still it is far behind in comparison to photos taken by Ported Google Camera on the same phone.

Hey [MENTION=8750674]alexkara[/MENTION], could you help me?

I tried installing the latest version that you've linked, but the Camera app FCs every time :(

I am on Stock OOS 5.1.5, no root or magisk. Then I just tried installing the version just prior to this, v2.8.27, and that installed perfectly. Did you do anything extra to get the latest version to work?

Thanks!
[OnePlus 5T  Real Life Review] alexkara:
My camera was 2.5.36, 5T 5.1.5, no root. I installed 2.8.27. I tested the camera. Then I uninstalled the update and went back to 2.5.36. I downloaded 2.8.29 and installed it.
[OnePlus 5T  Real Life Review] simeoni:
I have had OP5T for a month now and I have made some tests in such challenging situations where I had quite bad water color effect with OP2.

I must say that 5T is much better but it has this effect, too. But it comes only in normal mode where jpeg image is badly over processed. When shooting in pro mode and raw and then editing with e.g. Snapseed the results are very good.

Attached two photos taken at same time. First in normal mode and second in pro mode. Both are edited with Snapseed so that they look similar in dynamics, colors etc. Also I added zoomed screenshots of both photos where you can see the difference.
[OnePlus 5T  Real Life Review] rmroot:
I'm on lineage microg and cam quality is horrible (even with gcam arnova 8), noise is very high. How can I solve the problem without flashing oos cam or google services?
[OnePlus 5T  Real Life Review] Bidiminished:
Is the 5T camera seriously worse than the OP3's camera? With Gcam the OP3 can take pictures with amazing detail, texture and dynamic range, good colours. I feel that the 5T is a step back with no OIS and the blurry watercolour painting look when you zoom in, or having to use buggy ports and mods because apparently OnePlus messed up the camera HAL or something? Plus I'd feel like a bit of a fool walking around with an absolutely useless 20 MP secondary camera!

So am I right or is the camera actually good (or with working mods/ports now)? With the main point of comparison being clarity and detail/textures when you zoom in to 100% on a picture, auto mode no tripod. Please give honest answers, the 2016/17 Sony Xperias have rubbish cameras but there're a ton of Sony fanboys who will tell you otherwise. The 5T's camera quality is pretty much the only thing stopping me from pulling the trigger.
[OnePlus 5T  Real Life Review] neeko92:
Hi, any user switched from nexus 6p to OP 5T ?

Hello, i switched from nexus 6p to 5t.

Nexus has a better camera. But battery life on 5t is better than on 6p
[OnePlus 5T  Real Life Review] derei:
Your reply is utter rubbish as long as you can't provide some settings, steps that you followed, etc. I happen to also have issue with stock and google camera app and nothing seemed to work so well as you claim it works on yours. So, please come forward with something that can be tested and reproduced.

---------- Post added at 12:59 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:40 AM ----------

[OnePlus 5T  Real Life Review] anarchotaoist:
After upgrading 'LingeageOS for microg' from 15 to 16, I can now say the camera is awesome and fully functional with:

[OnePlus 5T  Real Life Review] jazzgott:
Let's just say, that I always carry a Pixel 2XL with me in case I need to shoot a picture.

For all the rest I prefer Oneplus, but the camera is a joke. Really. Completely worthless.
[OnePlus 5T  Real Life Review] optionalmgrr.la:

[OnePlus 5T  Real Life Review] eliaslear:
i use urnyx05 gcam mod 6.2

it opens instantly and has great lighting. you will probably want to download the libs to fix colors in certain modes also.

Specifically this one https://f.celsoazevedo.com/file/gcamera/Urnyx05-v6.2.apk

And libs

https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/op5fix/

I used magisk but you may want recovery depending on root.
[OnePlus 5T  Real Life Review] Ferb1151:
Are there any settings to apply?
[OnePlus 5T  Real Life Review] eliaslear:
Nope. Just install the apk like any other app and then flash the libs to correct colors. 60fps works and it captures action shots great!
[OnePlus 5T  Real Life Review] yag1z41:
Do I need root to flash libs?Sorry I'm new to phone softwares.
[OnePlus 5T  Real Life Review] billubakra:
Anything for the non rooted users?
[OnePlus 5T  Real Life Review] eliaslear:
yes. although even if you didn't have root , it would have to be through custom recovery...

you can try the rest of the cameras on his site until you find one. but they're all either going to need libs or will likely be a lesser quality than comes with the rom. you DO however have a developer phone that was MADE for custom recovery and roms, so i see no reason to not flash root aside from fear. again, this phone was intended for customization, so take a chance. you can always unroot or reflash factory op firmware. if there's only one absolute reason to root this phone it is for custom rom camera replacements. although, i thought everyone was happy with the factory firmware camera?
[OnePlus 5T  Real Life Review] billubakra:
You are right but no time to root+too much data to take backup of.

I have tried most if not all the apks present on that website. Settings are different for each app and since it is not mentioned every app kinda gave up every now and then.
[OnePlus 5T  Real Life Review] N173M43R:
Can you explain in detail.

AFAIK no camera except the stock camera on oos can record in 60 fps due to onplus not releasing their camera blobs.

[OnePlus 5T  Real Life Review] duquesa:
Before you return the phone I would suggest you see which version of the camera you have on the phone, the latest is available on apk mirror and is version 2.5.7, this didnt come with my last software update and my photos were definitely below the standard of the oneplus 5 which I still own, I updated to 2.5.7 and can see a big improvement, I haven't had time for any big comparisons but the improvement is noticeable and worth a try before going to the hassle of returning and waiting for a replacement phone , good luck

People, you are just f* lazy asses. If you want good photos, use pro mode and then post process photos from raw in lightroom.

https://www.reddit.com/r/oneplus/comments/7h4twe/dear_oneplus_dots_pattern_is_a_real_big_issue/
[OnePlus 5T  Real Life Review] TurboBot247:
Yup, I have seen all of that. But, Reddit is always full of over-dramatic people who blow things out of proportion, and the 5T's camera is one of those. The dot pattern issue, from what I've seen with other apk's and RAW capture, isn't really all it's chocked up to be. The only way I was able to see it was at least at 90% crop. Regardless, every single comparison between other smartphones I've seen done with the 5T (YT, online & otherwise) points to a good camera that holds its own but falls short to the best out there, or anything above $600 save for the Sony Xperia XZ1/XZ Premium, LG V30 (which is around as good as the 5T), Moto Z2 Force, and the Razer Phone (the camera is actually horrible), and maybe a few others.

Also, I doubt that this is due to a broken camera HAL implementation. Those are focusing dots, of the same kind and variety as those I often see on standalone and DSLR cameras, and the same kind I saw occasionally when I'd take pictures with my dad's cameras a couple years back. No, I'm not talking old cameras either.

[OnePlus 5T  Real Life Review] duquesa:
Not really, I'm at work at the moment.

When I got my phone it came with a much older version of the camera app and in auto mode it didnt produce clear pictures, I read elsewhere about there being a newer version on apkmirror and I installed the latest and the difference is clear.

We are all getting different results out of the camera and those posting here their experiences, good or bad would help things if they state which version of the camera app they are using so we can see if the latest apk produces the best results or not, again the latest is version 2.5.7
[OnePlus 5T  Real Life Review] TurboBot247:
Quite likely; that's probably the happiest comment I've posted since this account has been on the forum. Before you RMA your OP5T unit, one thing I want you to check is if you're getting the same issue with blurry shots with the updated OnePlus camera apk, v2.5.7, which can be found on apkmirror. Others on here have stated that there is an improvement post-update.
[OnePlus 5T  Real Life Review] jvnat:

Looking at those images I'm impressed..

Don't know what the hell everyone complains about.

These are easily the most colour accurate images I've ever seen. iPhone is close but the 5T looks better.

Soft detail is a shame but could be tweaked with software. iPhone are even more soft.. but make up for it making everything "pretty"..

Pixel 2 still looking overly processed and totally unrealistic. No idea why that phone gets so much praise... People are really terrible at judging image quality...
