What do you exactly mean by "Bixby half-moon" ON & Bixby enhancement OFF? Can you please explain.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] mafy31:
Would be interesting to check what the sensors are for SD and Exynos versions.

I would post mine, but results with ADA64 seem weird, like i get 2 front and 2 rears sensors instead of 3 + 1.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] zjhao:
Bixby enhancement OFF = Scene Optimizer OFF

Bixby half-moon = Detection trigger Night Scene
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] mafy31:
Exactely. Iam not sure which is which btw the 2 first photos. Best of the 2 dark ones is bixby (moon ON). The best, clearest one, out of the 3, is of course night mode.

Bixby night scene is a completely different process than Night mode... the latter requires to be stable (long shot)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] VICosPhi:
Mine is Exynos and it says both sensors are SLSI. Photo quality is almost equal to S10+ Exynos

Hello,

Just installed some updates today and one of them is 3D Scanner.

I only did 1 test, and it seemed less buggy to me, meaning that we will probably be able to enhance the 3D model by spinning several times around the subject.

On my test i only did 1 turn around it, it was a nice improvement, no bug, but some of the surfaces were not perfect, 1 turn more would prolly have done the job.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] lyzarr:
I've just got my Note10+ and I'm extremely disappointed by the photo quality. Everything that's not exactly in the middle of the picture gets quite blurry.

Both the device and the camera app are the latest versions, and I tried various modes and options without any improvements.

What do you think about those pics? Should I return the phone?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] mafy31:
I do not see the problem. Could use some more pictures.

Hit the screen where you want the focus to be before taking the photo. Then it should solve your pb.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] tin2404:
I took few photos and photo quality is ridiculous low compared with phone price.

For that money I thought I would get more.

On other hand, sound is also very bad so, therefore, it is well balanced media device in that way.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] mafy31:
It depends on what you're shooting.

For landscapes it is very good really. Even night shot is not bad at all besides white balance.

The real downside is for portraits especially in low light, and front cam ; these are solved when using Gcam.

Hi !

After reading this post, i wanted to test it. having a note 9 and a note 10 + both exynos from France.

I took a selfie with the rear camera in night mode, and my face is more blurry and grainy on the 10 + ...

it's a little disappointing.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] mafy31:
Yep... use Gcam or ZGcam...

It is software issue but not sure if Samsung worries about it.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] nieprophsono:
Yes, I'm verry dissapointed. In the begining I thought it's something from the settings, but sadly it's the phone
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] winol:
Some people have non realistic expectatives when using a new device, I felt somewhat disappointed also in the beginning, I thought the photos a note 8 and 9 were indeed better the ones from a 10+, but, no they are not, I was expecting ultra superior photos, which clearly is not the case, but they are generally better and the cam is more capable in all scenarios
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] @Class:
Just going to throw my 2 cents into this post hoping Samsung actually one day reads it. The Note 10+ and every single Samsung phone in my opinion takes horrible photos in everyday lighting conditions. Maybe it's a Koren thing, but every single photo I take is so cold looking compared to an iPhone.

I always look worse when taking photos of people with a samsung vs an iPhone, and this is the same thing going back years and years of phone models. Yes the Note 10 has more raw mega pixels, probably better light sensitivity, etc.... But the software is tuned for Koren eyes it seems, and they like to look more pale and cool. Not me. Warm, bright, high contrast photos even if they're not realistically portraying the scene are what I'm looking for.

In the camera app you can't even tweak these settings for the front camera, super annoying. Is there an iPhone filter?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] PsiPhiDan:
Tuned for Korean eyes? ?????

Please tell me you're a troll and not a real person.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] winol:
I have always found the iphone photos to be extra warm, which I do not like, so, ultimately, I think it is a thing or taste, you like iphone photos, others do not and so
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] AnuarBolis:
totally agree, i would go with s10+
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] winol:
You agree? Based on what? Your"vast experience" using a note10+ and a S10+? I see you offer your "experience opinion" in diverse forums, So, I assume you have a fairly large number of devices, as you have made 12 posts in total! Most surely you have not even touched a S10+, less a note10+, not to mention the other devices you mention in the rest of your posts
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] winol:
Lol, if you do not know why "you paid so much", then you would have got a vivo, realme, blu etc, device instead, that is, if you can't see the difference between a a premium flagship device and just a plain good one, good, excellent things are always expensive, that is an ineludible fact

Superior Camera app for Note10+ ?

I've stayed away from posting here for a good while but I was looking for some Camera improvement from my Pre-ordered Note10+ 5G and though I couldn't complain about the basic functionality, when I read an article about the 'Google Camera App' ported to a number of newer devices I resurrected my Login to give it a try and I was really impressed ....

The one I've used for a while is Gcam_6.2.030_Advanced_BF_V2.2.1.190822.1145.apk but there is likely newer versions available on XDA I just tend to stick with a version that's been working great until I might find a reason to look for better :)

Photography , especially using a phone, is not really my Forte but a casual user like me this was such an improvement I felt good speaking out...

Looks way over saturated blown out.

Tone the saturation down.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] themachinist:
Most of the pics shared here look pretty nice compared to the oversaturated crap I get. I guess maybe it's the sunny weather here most of the time. Some pics are fine if the lighting is mild.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] blackhawk:
•Bixby Vision and Bixby Vision Framework are used by the cam. They are responsible for target tracking (that yellow square outline). May also be used in advance zone metering as well.

•Do not disable these; the only run when the cam is active.

All other Bixby junk can safely be disabled.

Great Quality, however, i prefer the more natural pictures I was getting from my note9
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] blackhawk:
Is your 10+ display set to "natural"? HDR turned off?

The 10+ cam should slaughter the 9's.

You can always edit the image's WB/contrast curve especially if shot in RAW format. Use a color calibrated monitor if you do. None of the Android's throughput are color calibrated nor can they be.

A major failing of Android is the inability to do this.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] mzsquared:
night shot

I'm surprised that the camera picked up so much light, it was almost 'pitch black' around me. Not a good picture, should've waited til they turned the HS football field lights off up there, but the Orion looks cool. (can't attach pics w/ xda upload)

After receiving Android 11 update 2 days ago the pictures taken are completely washed out and pale in comparison to the pictures taken by Android 10, I could not find any helpful functions in the camera's settings to make it more saturated, anyone had the same issue?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] blackhawk:
Is it the image it's self or the app/phone your using to view it? I think it's probably the latter.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] hagba:
The same pictures were posted on the social media, there was big difference..

Just now I took the attached picture..
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] blackhawk:
It's not the saturation that's off it's the contrast curve.

Have you done a reload? After a major firmware update it's needed or at least best done.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] hagba:
Can you explain what's a Reload?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] blackhawk:
Hard reset. That fact the Android keeps a embedded pristine copy of the OS is sort of nice.

Very unlikely it's corrupted unless there was a bad update or hardware failure.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] mafy31:
Seriously? You have probably a faulty device then.

Iphone 11 is out and from the samples I have seen, Note 10+ is better. For example there is almost no distorsion of the image with wide and super wide angles, which is not the case for Iphone11.

Post samples, either faulty device or you have no clue how to fire a shot ( or have parkinson disease).

[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] valvolux:
I have just been searching for topics like this because I too am super disappointed by the note 10+ camera quality. I am in Australia so should have the exynous, I also have the 5g varient. My point of comparison was just like the ops, the galaxy s8, which was my last "flagship". And my galaxy s8 does blow it out of the water in every single situation, that is not a lie. I also booted up the ol s6 and it too was better in quite a few scenarios. I have also tested a Redmi note 7 (the cheap one with the Samsung camera) andmi 9t. And the note 10 dead set struggles against all. The only phone I have handy which is genuinely poorer, is a mi A2 lite.

The note 10 is just noisy, grainy...even in dark areas of daytime scenes. It's not a faulty camera, because it takes a nice shot in some situations. But any indoor shots, even if very well lit.. it's just noisy. Ok for Instagram, but you don't even have to zoom in far to see it's lousy in low light. Like I can't recall a phone I've owned being as poor. I am more than happy to show comparison shots of all the phones I've mentioned.

The thing that I'm suspecting...is this maybe another galaxy s6 debacle where some regions received different cameras?? I remember my s6 had the Sony, which smoked the Samsung camera others received. And I believe it happened for other galaxy models.

There's just no way on this planet the reviewers that have been praising this camera, have the same camera that I have. I was taking photos in a hotel last night with my girlfriend who has an iPhone s6 and her photos were better!! I'm super unhappy, because it's otherwise a beast of a phone, though not as good a battery life as I had hoped.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] mafy31:
Nice shots ! Night pics were taken on a stand or handheld ? What parameters ? Also do you have any of your night shots with colors instead of B&W?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] Charthye:
thank you!

I set my phone on a tripod for those night shots with at least 4s exposure

unfortunately I can't find a better app for editing raw with better colour rending

while you may check below for same photo in jpg copy which I was edited with VSCO
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] mafy31:
Would like to know which situations you got better shots with s6.

Have one at home and after your post i tried to test, side by side indoor shots in the evening (artificial light).

While the difference side by side is not that much, more details could be seen on note10+, less noise as well, and on homogeneous colored surfaces (like a sofa) there was more details as well while S6 just washes it.

HDR seems to do a better job on Note 10+ ; but what stroke me the most, was the accuracy and speed of AF on the Note 10+ compared to the S6.

By the way i have never gotten noise daytime scenes even on highly contrasted scenes with HDR :confused:
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] uppon2:
IMO; The cameras is fantastic during the day outdoors or in a perfectly lit indoor environment. However, a large majority of the time outside of these conditions the image is soft, noisy and void of any detail. There seems to be a lack of focus lock and sharpness across the whole frame, almost as if it's not utilising all of the megapixels and aperture correctly . It has to be a software issue because surely quality control would pick up faults in glass? I'm coming from a Mate 20 Pro which doesn't have any of these issues. Admittedly when the camera does take a good shot it has much better dynamic range than the mate and handles itself just as well! I really hope this is not an optics issue but it's still disheartening to say the least. Even in Pro mode it fails to hold focus correctly even if perfectly exposed. It's like the module is dirty but it isn't. Very frustrating.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] VICosPhi:
I noticed this also on my S10+ as compared to S9 but someone said that grainy look is because of Samsung making the cameras with F1. 7
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] mafy31:
Yep kinda agree with this, appart that the lens is f/1.5 and auto mode will close the aperture @ f/2.4 on bright conditions / outdoor on the main camera.

f/2.4 is still a large aperture, and for sharp still outdoor, f/4 would probably do the job but heh it is a smartphone not a DSLR...

Indoor auto mode uses f/1.5, so it results in a little loss of sharpness. But the point you focus at (AF mode point) should be very sharp still, since it only impacts field of depth.

With such large aperture, using matrix or whatever AF other than mode point will result in an average sharpness overall.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] RevoWution:
This is exactly how I would describe my overall camera experience with my Exynos Note10+. Outdoor shots and indoor shots with perfect lighting are phenomenal. Anything with less than ideal lighting, photos are noticeably grainier and blurrier, lacking overall sharpness/focus.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] VICosPhi:
I think the same applies to Qualcomm Note 10+ as well, except the Qualcomm uses Sony sensors(and Qualcomm processing) and provides more color saturation and contrast than Samsung sensors on Exynos.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] mafy31:
Are you sure about it? I would like to see your AIDA64 report. I thought all Note 10 were SLSI.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] infrasonic13:
I am also not very happy with the image quality for certain scenarios. Even in perfect conditions the images looks soft, overexposed, brightened and its kinda hitting on my nerv.

They should fix the algorithms finally because the sensors are more then capable but lets be honest, this year Apple cameras are superior in many aspects.

I hope with Android 10 or when S11 arrives we will also receive some software update which will help with these issues.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] mafy31:
We probably do not own the same smartphone, or we have very different expectations.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] winol:

[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] infrasonic13:
Edited
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] mafy31:
I understand. I think it is accurate and sharp ( zoom on eyes) on the photo above. But yea it smoothes the skins (probably to look like magazines portraits). But we can use pro mode if it does not suit our tastes, and shoot RAW and process later.

I do not understand the 'flat' statement on this shot though.

It is still nice and compares to skin rendering on, say iphone and others. Probably to suit average Instagram user in automode...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] mafy31:
A comparison with iphone 11pro max, interesting especially for those note10+ haters (you might want to jump directly to photo comparison) :

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kgbz5KbIatI&t=28s

Note that what the guy dislike at times is the gain (higher light) on note10+. Like it was suggested by someone a few posts above, when you point at an object before taking the shot, it fires autofocus on it but also you are able to lower one or two steps of light. This will give many times the best shot (sharper, less burnt/washed picture).

In the video he is just on auto mode no tweak.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] infrasonic13:
Exactly, this should be made available on auto and we shouldn't do it ourselves.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] VICosPhi:
I no longer own it, I now have the Exynos dual SIM version. From what I recall the back sensors were Samsung and the selfie camera was Sony sensor. Also the processing on snapdragon makes a difference in my opinion. You get better dynamic range and colors VS Exynos which looks washed out.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] mafy31:
Some low light pics samples below and example of X2 lens use.

I think does an OK job personnally, even though i hope for a new software that will add more sharpness ; the light is good enough here. I sometimes lower the brightness before taking the shot, it gives less noise and more sharpness. Software seems to blurr the images sometimes, but only visible when you pinch zoom in, which is common for 12 Mpix photos.

These are no Art photos, just samples shot in the street... and taken handeld ; would be way sharper on a tripod.

Comparison between normal lens and x2 zoom lens. The 2x zoom lens gives more details compared to normal lens + digital zoom on the letters of the restaurant, but it could have been better, but it was low light and the x2 lens uses a smaller aperture :

Would like to see a few shots of others, i'm sure some have taken way better photos. And still asking for photos from those people who claims these cameras are really bad.

Also i own Exynos, and a comparison with those owning SD version would be nice.
