[OnePlus 6 Real Life Review] AcmE85:
It is different somehow, slightly less sharpening. I wouldn't say it is better or worse though.

Coming from the OP3 with perfectly working HDR+, I am really disappointed with the OP6 camera to be honest.

I can see an advantage in lowlight, but I still prefer the daylight shots I get with HDR+ on my OP3.

A working GCam might change this, but Arnova8G2 had an accident so this is meaningless anyway.

That said, f*** GCam, I hope for his sake he will get better soon!
[OnePlus 6 Real Life Review] Antretng:
It is a little bit better in portraits (I mean faces... not the mode), better hdr and better performance in extreme low light conditions. However at cases where the iso is between 1000 and 3200, there is a chance of showing artifacts.

Here is a quick comparison that shows you what I mean. The first one is from oreo. The second one is from beta 3 (pie). If I change a little bit the angle and shoot again, there would be no artifacts. I guess it is a bug from the processing.

There is a HUGE difference between Ver5.xxx and new ver 6.1 Google cam

Looks like programmers made very big step forvard!

Only bad thing i found - app freezes sometime with the pic made with full sunlight

Simply HDR+ process working in background and prevent making new pic.
[OnePlus 6 Real Life Review] Sathish Bharathi Lithesh:
But I feel Ver5.xxx is better than ver 6.1 Google camera,

We want to wait for another more stability released by xda developers.

You FEEL, but i made tests for the resolution, focus accuracy and dynamic range with professional targets and software.

I don't like "feelings", i like numbers.
[OnePlus 6 Real Life Review] ajsmsg78:
Maybe so but 6.1 doesn't work on an custom rom I've tried so I've been using version 5 and it has been perfectly stable for me.
[OnePlus 6 Real Life Review] MetalSir:
VERY interested in your tests, were i can find something to see? I did mine and quality seems better on 6.1 but half of the times the app chashes or don't save any image to gallery. So if I have to pick PRO and CONS I'd maybe go for less quality but more stability. I said MAYBE because I'm addicted to updates, so I'm actually using the last version "no matter what".

[OnePlus 6 Real Life Review] sergjhb:
OK! there is some reading about testing.

Download Norman test chart and print it on the High Quality Photo printer A4

Then take pictures from the same point and with the same light with different apk.

Firstly you can see by yourself on which numbers lines on the picture become flat gray - this is comparison for actual resolution.

After this you can read more about ImageJ program and how interpret graphs from it.

Good luck!
[OnePlus 6 Real Life Review] gilles78:
I think it is "good" in general and excellent compared to all my previous Sony Xperia camera experiences.

Although in September I had the chance to compare it to the Huawei Mate 20 pro. I was in a new commercial shooting of that phone and thus had that privilege to carry the phone with me all day.

I took a number of photos on both phones and it made me quite puzzled. I did not expect such a big leap in picture quality. It was extremely sunny day and where Huawei just killed Oneplus was the shots where the sun was shining in the front. Huawei just manages to process that depth and colours in those diffucult situations. And of course in every other situations the pictures were noticeably more balanced when it came to shadows and colours. Of course I did not have the possibility to zoom in and see if picture had actually heavy overprocessing or the extra lenses just work as they should. In a way I wish I hadn't had that chance to compare:) Of course again, for that price one wold expect something more superior and I would still stick to Oneplus 6 as perhaps in time the cam soft improves also. I'm still on Oreo on my Oneplus.

Nope !

With same ISO locked, OP6 pictures would be darker since S9 has a wider aperture (F/1.5) and a bigger pixel size. So ISO is there to compensate the hardware limitations and make the picture more visible
[OnePlus 6 Real Life Review] DomAlberts:
I think the image quality in the OnePlus 6 is awesome. I'm coming from the S7 and crazy difference. Love this phone. Feel free to check out my Instagram. MOD EDIT: REMOVED.

[OnePlus 6 Real Life Review] DomAlberts:
okay i think youll like this one.

*•*photo 1. standard auto hdr.

*•*photo 2. iso :2000 shutter at 0.4 with manual wb at 4200+/-

*•*photo 3. iso : 400 shutter at 5 and wb at 4060k.

*Update*

added shot for gcam too.*

Gcambuild: GoogleCamera_6.1.013.216795316-debug2.apk

Onepluscam: 2.10.5

OOS : 9.0.1

Rooted.*

obviously leaving the shutter open draws in more light but it also captures more yellow. so i just manually tune that and save it as a preset. because night photos usually need to be cooled.

photo 2's settings are nice if you dont have tripod. as you can see the noise is significantly decreased and has way better sharpness. but still kept relatively the same exposure.

then for settings of the 3rd photo are my favorite. you need a tripod. but i mean it cames out amazing.

Hey guys,

Could sound very strange but after a bounch of tests I'm not sure if nightsight is actually working or not on my phone.

All the shots I did with and without night mode shows almost no difference in light and exposure. What i can just notice is a TERRIBLE and MASSIVE oil effect when night mode is on.

I have watched your images and there is significantly more light captured by your camera than mine.

Then if i compare nightsight (not properly working maybe) with gcam night mode the difference is impressive.

Look i'm not speculating on gcam, since I'm very active on the porting thread, I'm talking about

differences between MY comparisons and YOURS

.

I really believe that something ain't going the right way with my camera.. =\

edit: when i shoot in night mode I can see the animation the shutter button and the post processing message. But I still can't find any difference except for image degradation.
[OnePlus 6 Real Life Review] DomAlberts:
For me it's the auto focus. If I get it to lock then it comes out great. It's more for scenery shots I find. And you need to find the sweet spot. Because I know alot of people including myself try it in extreme conditions. If you look at the image stats, all the modes do is unlock your iso limit. And take multiple exposures shots and combines them. I see evidence of this with the OnePlus night sight too. But I think for now Googles processing of the image and amount of iso unlock achievable is superior. I saw iso levels up to 9200+- from the gcam and 7000+- from the OnePlus.

It performs significantly worse than the OnePlus 3 in some shots, making an oily effect. On the other hand, sometimes more details are preserved (like windows of houses in the back of an HDR shot with stuff in front of the window). Camera2 API is broken and only gives 12 MP, so I'm not sure it'll be possible to use a modded gcam; at least not in full resolution (12 MP works fine, but I think no HDR+).

I attached a comparison, but these have been recompressed by Google Photos, so are not entirely accurate.

There are a lot of comparisons where the OP6 is almost as good as Pixel 2

https://thenextweb.com/reviews/2018...ew-small-design-downgrade-big-camera-upgrade/
[OnePlus 6 Real Life Review] Flying Fox:
“Big camera upgrade” is quite exaggerated after my first impressions ..

My opinion after one day usage (compared to my OP5):

+ image stabilizer

+ little faster camera trigger

+ little faster af

+ skin color and colors in general

+ sharper results (not always) due to the jpg processing (not the dng´s)

+ Improvement of the dynamic range. Lights and shadows are well exposed

- image quality randomly varies from pic to pic

- soft images due to internal processing (noise reduction..) even when iso value is low

- pictures are sometimes overexposed

- sometimes incorrect white balance (auto wb), then OP5 pics look more natural

- sometimes long shutter time (1/20s compared with the OP5 with the same subject and light conditions 1/100s but at the cost of higher iso values).

- even dng´s seem to be internal processed (??) .. look soft and noise reduced – a circumstance I don’t really understand.

I also tried the pixel 2 modded gcam, but the results where worse (extremely soft).

All in all I´m a bit disappointed, but on the other side I didn’t expect so much. The OP6 is still a fantastic device for a good value. But still not sure if the camera is worth the upgrade (for me).
[OnePlus 6 Real Life Review] nickporwal:
I doubt op6 touched the level of Pixel2. Its not even able to equal s9+ or huawei p20 pro. Pixel2 is in another league.

But i guess camera software is still in initial stage. OTA updates will make it better. Op6 is a fantastic phone for its price. It should not be compared with the phones having almost twice its price.
[OnePlus 6 Real Life Review] B3501:
The OP6 is nowhere near the Pixel 2. Don't believe bought reviews.
[OnePlus 6 Real Life Review] AcmE85:
Thanks for your comparisons!

As a OP3 user, I am quite eager to switch but was let down by HDR+ not working on the OP6 so far.

As you already mentioned that the shots might be compressed due to Google Photos,

could you maybe share an album with the OP3 (enhanced HDR+) vs. OP6?

I'm especially interested in ISO and shutterspeed.

Judging from your previous two shots, the OP6 has a pretty capable sensor when it comes to shutterspeed and keeping the ISO low.

Real shame about HDR+, I think it would perform exceptionally well!

Grüße ;)

I might do more tomorrow, and possibly also upload the second one in full quality - idk. I don't think it's worth it.
[OnePlus 6 Real Life Review] AcmE85:
Looks like the OP3 with HDR+ outperforms the OP6 in daylight, even though you only used regular ZSL HDR+ (as stated in the exif [HDR+ 1.0....Z for ZSL] - less dynamic range in the sky, slower shutterspeed).

The OP3 has less smoothing and more detail throughout the whole image. The OP6 daylight shots look actually pretty bad when checking them on a desktop and not the smartphone.

It's somehow "unfair" to compare it to HDR+, but OnePlus simply HAS to do better in daylight with ISO 100 shots, especially as their processing has been criticized since the OP2 days.

There is just too much smoothing going on, so not really much changed in this regard.

Lowlight shots on the OP6 are not bad, certainly better than I expected giving their processing.

OP6 + HDR+ = Beast! I really hope this happens sooner than later.

Could you try another camera app on the OP6, Camera FV5 for example?

Any maybe OP3 with enhanced HDR+ in comparison.

What's your opinion of the camera so far?
[OnePlus 6 Real Life Review] sstanton86:
I don't understand these iso values. At dusk I can shoot a photo of the ground, outside and the iso is 2000. I then face it up slightly and it's 200.

In addition to that sat on a bus, in the day, take a photo of my feet and it's 2000 iso again..

Really don't understand these values at all. Admittedly it doesn't look like a standard 2000 iso noise fest.
[OnePlus 6 Real Life Review] AcmE85:
This only depends on how the camera software exposes. Aiming at your feet in the bus is most definitely raising the exposure because there is no direct light hitting the sensor.

This is done by a) lowering the shutterspeed, or b) increasing the ISO. Or both, depending on the lighting.

Facing the camera up will give you a different scenario, as it will probably want to underexpose a little to not blow out the scene by the light hitting the sensor.

This behavior can be observed on pretty much any phone/camera on auto settings.

All you can do is tap to focus and adjust the exposure yourself.

The problem is that cameras tend to overexpose, making the shot brighter than the scene actually is.

This leads to the effects you described.

Edit: another example

Shoot a desk with a black keyboard on it, the keyboard will appear black on the photo.

Go closer to the keyboard though and the camera will most definitely overexpose.
[OnePlus 6 Real Life Review] Flying Fox:
First of all these pictures are not vernisage works of art ;) .. I just tried some things with attention to sharpness, dynamic range, motion blur and so on.

Pics are done at the same time (left and right handed with OP 5 and 6). I didn´t care about shooting a professional pic; I was just looking for white and black subjects as well as for shadows and highlights. Shutter speed was set to 1/100s on both devices, iso value was 100. Pro mode, so no HDR.

On these two examples I clearly prefer the results of the OP6 camera. This time:

+ correct exposure

+ correct white balance

+ the colors and the light correspond to the reality

+ more details everywhere, better texture, see the rattan

+ and especially the dynamic range! Clearly visible in the dark parts (pillow, black cat´s fur and table)

- highlights are burned out in both examples. But this motive is a challenge for most cameras (not talking about smartphone-sensors only ;) )

- many details washed out in the 100% view, but not that relevant for real life (except for cropping, zooming in).

Big advantage in my experience is the faster trigger. As the cats were playing (moving), the OP 5 was not fast enough to catch the white cat´s face, which in my opinion is important for real life and yet not mentioned in the diverse “lab tests” going around the web. Here the OP6 is the clear winner (compared to the OP5). Don’t know how other smartphones manage this. But normally I need my dslr to catch any face of my little playful kitten.

PS again, OP6 pic changed the orientation after uploading (tried via Safari, Firefox and Chrome.. don't find out the reason, sry)..

Red faces, lens lost detail on corners, painted effect, to say some defaults i found. Don`t want to be a radical fan here, just trying be imparcial....

Since i install Gcam, especially from Pixel 3, things went much better...

Don`t get me wrong, OP6 is a great camera, especially during daylight and paysages, but the lens quality, distortion around center...have some issues not completely corrected with software...
