Little update here:

Buy a Poco F1 to my wife today and of course, install Gcam on it...

In low light, even stock camera is better than Gcam on OP6.....and with Night mode, OP6 struggle to focus, where F1 doesnt show any problem....

Again, very disappointed with OP6 camera....

Hello,

do you know about this problem with camera on Oneplus 6? And how to fix it, if its possible?

Go for Google cam. Extreme's beta 5 of gcam5 works fine.
[OnePlus 6 Real Life Review] Tmk969:
I think P20 has really better camera or at least better software, but its a little bit more expensive, but i do'n want Kirin, exynos or another processors, i want snapdragon. And Pixel 2... i can't find it in my country - Lithuania anymore :) ofcourse it's also more expensive, but for pixel 2 i would pay it all :))

so thats why i started to think about OP6, and lets be realistic, G4 is quite old, will give it for my father :D

Thank you for your answer and opinion :)
[OnePlus 6 Real Life Review] Engelm:
WhatsApp about P20?

The "normal" Version, not the Pro..

The camera is also amazing and it is about the same price as the OP6.
[OnePlus 6 Real Life Review] Flying Fox:
If you like LG and image quality is more important than custom rom support or little more performance you could also take a look at the V30. Prices vary at the moment, my son got his one for 500€ two weeks ago.

Huawei's are not on the snapdragon chips.

Oneplus3 vs Oneplus6 camera

hi guys, did a bunch of comparison shots in same exact lighting and focus between op3 and op6. The op6 is definitely better in low light but is a tad oversaturated.

[OnePlus 6 Real Life Review] pjd2011:
I took some example photos between my Pixel 2 and OP6 tonight. https://photos.app.goo.gl/UqbINgpI8nmVaOR33

Initial thoughts are that this still can't come close to the Pixel 2 in lower light situations. I'd give the bokeh effect to OP6 but the details are still better on the Pixel. Yes, it's a given considering the price differences but, man, it's truly the only thing keeping this phone from being a true flagship contender. If a Pixel 2 is a 9/10, I'd give the OP6 a 7/10.

Note: The horizontal TV/Speaker & selfies were taken through Snapchat. The Pixel's visual core very clearly lets the device pull ahead in that department. Most people don't do third party app comparisons which I find unfair as that's where I send 80% of my photos with friends.
[OnePlus 6 Real Life Review] nickporwal:
Its insane what Google is doing with all that crazy sharp algorithms..... But noteworthy thing is, op6 has improved low light performance a lot compared to previous models. Its Pretty decent.
[OnePlus 6 Real Life Review] fesar:

[OnePlus 6 Real Life Review] Pacman4ever:
Good day,

I would like to ask if this camera phone is better than the iphone 7? Sorry for a stupid question. I am currently using an iphone 6s and I want to upgrade :)
[OnePlus 6 Real Life Review] fesar:
Yes for sure..
[OnePlus 6 Real Life Review] sobelixtus:
And good day to you Sir,

OP6 camera is definitely better than iPhone 7. It's pretty much on same level with iPhone 8+.

If that's the only thing what keeps you buying OP6, then the obstacle is now removed :)
[OnePlus 6 Real Life Review] TheNetwork:
Actually it trades blows with the X extremely well. You'll find a few more reviews saying the OP6 is actually slightly better all around, but it's fairly even.

I love the OnePlus 6 camera. So many people expecting it to beat the pixel 2 etc... Come on. The camera is fantastic for £460! I've upgraded from a Nexus 6P and I'm very happy. Here a pic of my dog
[OnePlus 6 Real Life Review] geneing:
Camera is very good outdoors:

"Overcast day shot. Very good resolution."

Good resolution:

"Image resolution is high."

Raw mode picture looks unsaturated, but I think that's on purpose:

"Raw mode"

I tried "portrait" mode for flowers. I don't think it works well for anything but portraits. Software blurring is inconsistent with reality, which makes it look unnerving:

"Portrait mode for nature photography doesn't work well."

Frankly I don't see much difference between Oneplus 6 camera and iPhone one. There may be some small differences in software processing, but the hardware has very similar performance.
[OnePlus 6 Real Life Review] TheNetwork:
OP6 doesn't have a perfect camera but it has a lot better camera software/firmware by far than the Pixel 2 and almost certainly the S9 (haven't used one myself). I was really worried I wasn't going to like the camera and started to accept the fact that I had to take a small hit on the camera quality to save $500. Turns out I'm actually more happy with this phone than my last one which had the same Sony CMOS sensor as the Pixel 2 does (well before the Pixel 2 came out, the Zenfone 3 Zoom came out... so technically my phone had the better camera before the Pixel 2 even lol.

The software is great, EIS is awesome when you're zooming in a bit and fairly good when you're not.

Camera is definitely on the cool side but it doesn't help that the device is also on the cool side so the effect is exaggerated a bit. That's my first and pretty much only complaint.
[OnePlus 6 Real Life Review] nickporwal:
Either you are trolling or you have not used Pixel2.

Pixel2 hardware is not top of the mill, but its the processing algorithms and software which makes it better than any other smartphone right now in camera department.

Op6 has a good camera but dont misguide others. Op6 camera is not better than pixel2. Op6 post processing algorithms are inferior in comparison to pixel2.

But i still think op6 is better phone than pixel2 because of the features its giving for its price.
[OnePlus 6 Real Life Review] TheNetwork:

[OnePlus 6 Real Life Review] rubino25:
Hi at all! One question about the second camera.. is it used only for portrait mode? Not in zoom or other things? Because if i put my finger in while taking photo, nothing change..

Good in low light.

Low light is super good. Too much improved. Have used every OnePlus device since the 3 and this one is the first time it is really bonkers good low light camera.

I currently miss the "HQ-Mode" from the OP3.

Did I miss something to enable it or is the "HQ-Mode" not available anymore on the OP6?

[OnePlus 6 Real Life Review] kyleruggles:
Same here! I just got mine, coming from the 3 myself. And I have to say, my 3's low light is much better than the 6's. HDR on the 6 looks like a mess compared to the HQ on the 3. And HDR on the 3's, the grain is much more fine, while on the 6 it's quite blotchy. I expect some update to clear this right up, so I'm not passing judgement too early.
[OnePlus 6 Real Life Review] faroit:
Actually I disagree that the OP6 is way better than an old Iphone 7. I am coming from an iPhone 6 and I don't see a big improvement in terms of consistent camera quality. Have a look at this: photos.app.goo.gl/u5goiYlIrhSm8nqz2

Its not about the resolution or dynamic range (both is better in the OP6) but its a thing about color accuracy. The OP6 fails horrible in my view.

The greens that come out of the oneplus 6 postprocessing are just horrible. Also I consistently getting bad skin tones and horrible portraits from the oneplus 6. I sure this is a software issue, but thats what is available right now...
[OnePlus 6 Real Life Review] redandwhitearmy:
Dynamic range in tricky lighting is awesome with rear camera. front camera is good too but rear is better. In this shot sun is right behind my head.
[OnePlus 6 Real Life Review] sashank18:
Hi Everyone ,

Got mine few days back. I'm coming from a Nexus 6p. I never expected it to be as good as a pixel or a Galaxy but not even comparable to 3 years old phone is little disappointed. Front camera being the most disappointing.

Even with all this I still like it a lot. The camera hardware itself seems very capable , hoping one plus brings some good software updates or some devs successfully brings Google camera with HDR+
[OnePlus 6 Real Life Review] faroit:
I understand that the google camera mods will not work as long as they are only compiled for the snapdragon 835 chipset. So we have to wait until the pixel 3 comes out or google finally decides to put HDR+ into the open source release (which I doubt).

I think I will return the OP6 and get a Pixel 2. Its not acceptable that my 4 year old iPhone beats the OP6 in terms of image quality
[OnePlus 6 Real Life Review] hltbest:
I came from a Nexus 6P as well, and I'm massively impressed withe camera. Yes it's not pixel 2 quality but it's definitely better than the Nexus 6P?! What issues are you having that makes you think it's worse?
[OnePlus 6 Real Life Review] sashank18:
Thanks for the reply.

As every one knows , dynamic range is a lot to desire. I'm not a out door person , the noise in well lit indoor shots is very high.

Even when I switch off beautify feature in the rear camera , people faces are smoothen and the picture looks very soft.

One more thing, for some reason I can't pinch zoom in to the photo as much I can do on a 12 MP camera. Please let me know if I'm missing something thing here.

I feel you bro. In India we got pixel 2 for the same price as one plus 6. But dual SIM was high on my list of priorities and that small screen is not some thing I like.
[OnePlus 6 Real Life Review] nickporwal:
I am also facing the exact dillema as you. I liked all the things or features in op6 except camera. I have Pixel2. I wanted phone with big screen and dual sim. But had to cancel the order of op6 after checking all the reviews. However with Respect to other phones, its a decent camera.
[OnePlus 6 Real Life Review] markwebb:
This is my very first OnePlus. I have the 8 GB RAM 128gb model. The phone is this speed demon and I do like it.

However when it comes to photos, it can't match the Pixel 2 XL or the Samsung S9 Plus. I own all 3 phones. But it is better than the Essential phone. Of course anything is better than the Essential phone which I also own in terms of camera quality.

Still not the perfect phone but a very decent phone and something I can recommend.
[OnePlus 6 Real Life Review] jonny30bass:
Is anyone elses camera app over-sharpen the image? It's too sharp when simply looking around before the picture, but the actual picture is much softer after it's taken.
[OnePlus 6 Real Life Review] worldsoutro:
OP has never been known for good cameras don't know why anyone think it's suddenly going to be different.

I love the form factor, speed and screen on the O6. If i am going to take pictures I take my pixel 2 xl with me
[OnePlus 6 Real Life Review] pjd2011:
Played around with more photos over the weekend. In very bright light the camera can go toe to toe with flagships but outside of that there's still something to be desired.

To those asking about iPhone level comparisons. I'd say this is on par with the iPhone 7. My iPhone 8 (work phone) still out shoots the OP6 in bar scenes and low light situations. My girlfriend's X, sadly, outshines my Pixel 2 from time to time and the OP6 is not in the same category.

Again, in this price range this is a phenomenal camera. For the price this simply can't be beat. Comparing to anything flagship in 2018 and even most 2017 phones, this still leaves me wanting more to truly use as a daily.
[OnePlus 6 Real Life Review] 123mucho:
The issue that I have with "for the price it is great/the best" is, that in Germany it costs as much as the S9 and more than a Mate 10 Pro, S8 (Plus). So looking at the alternatives, you can get better phone cameras for your money... Also, you can get the Honor 10 for quite a bit less. Wondering the two compare - does anyone know?
[OnePlus 6 Real Life Review] B3501:
In the UK you can get a Pixel XL 2 for a little more money also.
[OnePlus 6 Real Life Review] AcmE85:
I don't even get the argument: "for the price it is great/the best" . You just get what you pay for with the OP6. Neither is it a steal, nor is it overpriced.

For what you pay less, you also get less in return compared to higher-priced devices.

The only positive for OnePlus is that there is no competition in this price-range, besides of course the one you mentioned due to price-drops.

So with this in mind, it isn't that much of a deal in my opinion.

Only thing saving them is their OS and warranty+root.

Besides that, they are exceptionally good in creating hype. I really can't explain all the people going on a pilgrimage for this device.
[OnePlus 6 Real Life Review] Vinegar Joe:
I can only find it for around £150 more than the OP6? I wouldn't call that a little!

Believe it or not, this has always been the case with OnePlus. That's why they are considered good value - because they offer *near* top end specs while still saving £100's compared to flagships. Yes of course there are compromises (usually with the camera), but would you really expect a £470 phone to offer everything an £800 one does? For the price it is great value, I think.

What I don't get is people moving from a true flagship like the 2XL and then being disappointed.
[OnePlus 6 Real Life Review] Mariuszuzd:
I believe that the camera for some people is only a addition to the mobile phone. As fas as I remember, the idea of mobile phone is mostly to use it for the internet, social media, music and to take picture if we don't have a camera. However the photo from the mobile phone never be the same as photo taken from the normal camera.

I bought the OP6 after using Sony, Samsung, Honor and Huawei flagship phones and I'm truly enjoy it. It's one of the best phones and probably the fastest ever.

Regarding the camera, I took a lot of pictures outside (landscape etc.) and it's great. Of course I have to admit that inside the building it's not as great but we have to remember that it's only a phone. I know that the best camera is the one we have at the moment and it works with OP6. I paid for OP6 around 569 EUR and for this price is for sure the best! For S9+ I have to pay around 850 EUR so I have 281 EUR for two hiking trips in the mountains.

[OnePlus 6 Real Life Review] Goronok:
I'd love to buy the phone, but I'm so conflicted on the camera. Most people on here say it's not at all in the same ballpark as a current flagship, but some youtube videos make it look promising. Photos posted are equally as confusing - some look great and some look like crap. :(
[OnePlus 6 Real Life Review] Mariuszuzd:
Camera

I think that you can take also rubish photo using S9+ or other phone. The best example is P20 pro. Once is the best photo ever and on other hand it's terrible. It also depend on photography skills and the scene :) I'm fully satisfied of possibilities of OP6 camera however maybe someone else won't be.
[OnePlus 6 Real Life Review] B3501:
That's the thing, some photos look great and some look crap and I also get lens flare.
[OnePlus 6 Real Life Review] steslatt:
Coming from an s8 myself and the few days I've had to play with the OP6 i'd say the s8 has a better camera.

[OnePlus 6 Real Life Review] kaliberx:
Friend took some Pics with the OP6 and the S9. Good Light : ISO 140 (OP6) vs 45 (S9) in Low Light its even worse : 6400 (OP6) vs 1250 (S9). And in every Situation Post-Processing Sharpening etc kicks badly in on the OP6. And because we're here in the Camera Area, its about the Camera and nothing else.

Camera is for me personally a no go. Dunno if they can fix Stuff with Camera-FW Updates or Software.

Was considering to get it, but i'll wait if they correct the Quality somehow.
[OnePlus 6 Real Life Review] randomA:
tried OP6 selfie camera in low light.

the result is grainy as hell.

anyone else getting the same ?
[OnePlus 6 Real Life Review] masi0:
Then don't buy it, whats the problem?
[OnePlus 6 Real Life Review] Flying Fox:
My opinion:

At the beginning of this thread I tried to compare the image quality between OP 5 and OP 6 as taking photos is sometimes important for me. I am an ambitious hobby photographer and do not always have my Nikon with me. I also have a smaller “pocket cam”, and I hoped a OP 6 can cause me to leave the pocket cam at home if I don’t need a full frame cam with me.

Of course it cannot. But to my opinion image quality has much improved. I stopped testing after one and a half days (what I did just to decide keeping the OP6 or not).

Quality is not as bad as many say. I don’t´ know what to expect from a mini sensor compared to a real camera! On the other side it is amazing that these mini sensors and mini lenses of all mentioned smartphones here can produce pictures of this quality. Most is due to the software. And of course to this point the OP6 is a little behind a pixel 2XL, Samsung S9 and 8, Huawai P20 pro, iphone and so on. But the other specs are great and its performance, the custom development, haptic, functionality etc is fantastic. It´s not overloaded with bloatware, battery life is amazing.. and so on. But this is my individual view and others may see things different. And this is good so.

So if wanting to get best results in picture quality and the many other advantages of an OnePlus are not important, sell it or don´t buy it. But you can also keep the OP6 and additionally buy a pocket cam. It is still cheaper altogether than a S9+ or a P20 for instance. And image quality is not comparable. No smartphone can reach the quality of a pocket cam. The newest Canon Powershot for instance costs 300€ , the former one 170€. Or just take raw´s to get the best out from the OP6 by postprocessing on your computer…

For me a big advantage of the OP6 is that it´s camera reacts quickly. Quicker than my former phones (OP5, S7, HTC etc). Now I can capture motives (like moving children, animals..) what I couldn’t do before. Af is also fast. Conclusion: better a picture with not quite as good quality than no picture ;).
[OnePlus 6 Real Life Review] masi0:
Absolutely. Please note that this is barely week old phone with week old software that is still in development, so I expect we should see some progress here and there
[OnePlus 6 Real Life Review] Cst79:
Ha...I see what you did here. I just covered the OP6 camera with my hand and took a picture. I got ISO 6400. Then I took a picture in very low but usable light and I got ISO 500.

So what you did is a test without any real value, just to point out that the S9 camera is better. Yeah, it's probably better at taking a black picture than the OP6 :))

In reality, the EV difference between F1.5 and F1.7 is 0.5, and the 1.22 vs 1.4 um pixel may bring that to 0.7 but not more. This means that when the S9 will choose ISO 500, the OP6 will choose between ISO 800 and ISO 1000 or so. Not a huge difference but there will be one nonetheless.
[OnePlus 6 Real Life Review] TheNetwork:
He also exaggerated acting like the camera was useless in realistic low light situations which is not even remotely true. Someone force him to deal with a 2 generation old phone for a week and he'll come back crying and begging to get the OP6 back.
[OnePlus 6 Real Life Review] Paz9:
Has anyone compared the p20 pro with the op6 cam?
[OnePlus 6 Real Life Review] kaliberx:
First he is Photo-Journalist and studied Electronics.

Second, there are already reviews out there, which showing the same behavior. as said, it can surly fixed with Software.

Third, and that counts for Cst79 aswell : You don't have to be directly offensive if you don't like a comment.

The Device is otherwise perfect for the Price.
