Sorry, no offense, but it was sarcasm.

Just don't try to defend a brand you like, because the more fans they have the fewer chances we have to get a proper product.

Please don't mention Apple products especially with XDA's senior members.
[Huawei P40 Pro Real Life Review] alexxutzu:
Anyone else have a lot of noise in night pictures? I'm on last firmware 154 and the pictures from Auto mode are much better than pictures from Night mode.
[Huawei P40 Pro Real Life Review] BikeHelmet:
Lots of people have reported this. Even some reviewers touched on it and mentioned just using Auto at night. (May as well make use of that huge RYYB sensor.) I don't think Huawei's night mode is as advanced as GCam's. As far as I know, GCam factors in how you wobble your phone when processing the light data, providing incredibly sharp and noise-free images. If you get vastly different results on tripod vs handheld (with tripod being better), then that indicates that their night mode doesn't factor in accelerometer/movement data. Stability would be key. Since night mode has longer exposures than Auto, there's your answer on quality/clarity.

Interestingly, some people have reported that using Night Mode during the day on a tripod for city scenes and stuff creates really interesting images. Artistic/stylised. I don't think Huawei's night mode is going to be as useful to you at night, though.
[Huawei P40 Pro Real Life Review] alexxutzu:
Thanks for your reply. I used P30 Pro for about 1 year but the pictures that I take it with Night Mode was very, very good, much better than the ones from P40 Pro. Maybe they will solve this issue with an update.?
[Huawei P40 Pro Real Life Review] BikeHelmet:
It would be really nice if they did - but I'm not sure how many resources are being sent in that direction. I suppose it depends on whether they think they'll be able to make phones and phone processors again in the future. Sanctions are causing some havoc. Their camera hardware itself has proven to be incredible. If a company like Google were able to team up and optimise GCam for all of those lenses, I have a feeling it'd be truly epic. But that won't happen in this political environment.
[Huawei P40 Pro Real Life Review] jericho246:
It's not explicitly stated anywhere, but Night Mode is supposed to be used with a tripod. Otherwise you get pictures with a lot of noise.
[Huawei P40 Pro Real Life Review] Lazerr:
So according to Huawei, OIS is "processing" and thus does not work in RAW. The ****?
[Huawei P40 Pro Real Life Review] Zenimax:
Is any improvement for camera in new update ". 154"?

Just got it but nothing too obvious... ?
[Huawei P40 Pro Real Life Review] Klosterbruder:
What kind of improvement are you waiting for?

Wish to get the same inferior nightshot quality as seen with the iPhone examples a couple of weeks ago? (I'd been speechless about the outcome of that comparison, low quality preferred over high quality.)

But there's indeed room for improvement, MUCH room for improvement: The "Pro" mode, which had been useless up from it's implementation with the P20 Pro. It's as bad as ever. And nobody of the "pros" seems to notice. :D
[Huawei P40 Pro Real Life Review] vandal4e:
there hasn't been Iphone, Huawei, Samsung or anything else that was " MUCH improved " with software updates, the same thing goes on and on repeating for decades? every new device few month later is better and everyone raves and raves, that's how selling new stuff on generally ignorant customers works, if it's newer = it's a must buy, once it's buyed - " uh oh there's this there's that my older ones were better etc. there's room for improvement.. " everyone would be perfectly satisfied with flagship phones from 2-3 years ago camera-wise , yet everyone will keep dreaming about 1" huge res sensor on a pixel device, when that happens and blows everything out of the water ( again , like every new product does ) people will rave about bland pure android, design, battery life, goes on and on and on, enjoy the devices and don't expect perfection you won't get any! those who deal with photography don't rely on their smartphones, those who care about true details, color science etc. own at least some kind of separate camera system for a reason!
[Huawei P40 Pro Real Life Review] Lazerr:
Pro mode uses some different processing that looks much more natural. Besides giving you control over the photo parameters. Pro+RAW gives you even more natural looking processing, but it turns off OIS.
[Huawei P40 Pro Real Life Review] grizzlyspid86:
Even if you point & shoot using Pro mode, without touching anything, less processing is happening. No image stacking involved, the 'sharpening...please hold your phone' words wont come out.

I use it on most of situation, when i want to embrace shadows darker than Auto does, and less oil-painting processing looks. If I want HDR look, just switch to Auto, with Master AI disabled of course.

Green hue in nightmode

Hi guys I've recently purchased this phone, I had the p30 pro however I'm having a bit of an issue here with the night mode on p40 pro, it gives a really strong green hue! How do I fix it !?
[Huawei P40 Pro Real Life Review] jericho246:
Why not use auto mode? Night mode is pretty much useless without a tripod. Auto mode is better in almost every scenario.
[Huawei P40 Pro Real Life Review] Axeybaby:
I wanted to test the camera out and I'm really disappointed ? day time is fine, some lights in the **** is fine but when it's dark, trying to capture the skyline, it's super green.

I want to attached pics but it won't let me
[Huawei P40 Pro Real Life Review] BikeHelmet:
Have you tried out alternate camera apps like GCam? Usually Google nails their colour accuracy. Would probably help since the low light colour is way off unless you're in Auto mode.

Edit: Post pigs to Imgur if you need to.
[Huawei P40 Pro Real Life Review] jericho246:
GCam doesn't work on Huawei phones.
[Huawei P40 Pro Real Life Review] BikeHelmet:
Oh, okay. So then all these projects are bunk now? (Don't function / just crash?)

[Huawei P40 Pro Real Life Review] grizzlyspid86:
Try it. Not bad for a point & shoot. HDR not working though. Well there are some point where I do not need HDR.
[Huawei P40 Pro Real Life Review] jericho246:
Only GCam Go 'works', but there's no point in using that, since it's aimed at budget phones, so the results are unimpressive at best. And as stated above, HDR doesn't even work. Better off using the stock cam app.
[Huawei P40 Pro Real Life Review] wezzel98765:
Try without night mode

Night mode is for very dark
[Huawei P40 Pro Real Life Review] wezzel98765:
All shots handheld

Auto

Night mode (green hue - possibly as it wasn’t REALLY dark)

Night mode - absolutely on the money!

Was very very dark

Hi I find the photos are very beautiful:good:
[Huawei P40 Pro Real Life Review] labpedro:
few shots i took

I personally love the camera on this, although I am exceptionally amateur in every way. I took a lot of pictures using aperture mode and have taken some amazing pictures. I have came from a P20 Pro which itself had a great camera on it
[Huawei P40 Pro Real Life Review] samlis:
Hi :) very beautiful pictures also:good: I have no doubt because I had a p30 pro and I intend to buy a p40 pro despite without google thanks
[Huawei P40 Pro Real Life Review] Antony Silva:
If it's not difficult for you to download apk and search in the settings for 15 minutes, then super. Don't even compare the p40 with xp a few notches better, night shooting is better here than on the iPhone 11, and video is better too.
[Huawei P40 Pro Real Life Review] NoraHensl:
I'm not a professional photographer and probably won't see a big difference between P30 and P40. So there's no need for me to buy a new phone, especially for a regular daily use.
[Huawei P40 Pro Real Life Review] 2thelimit:
All 3 photos same phone?

Just for me to understand, the 1 photo in auto-mode.

2&3 photos both in night mode? Why is 3 photo so much better?
[Huawei P40 Pro Real Life Review] florin0x01:
Interested in buying this phone, over S20 etc, due to bigger sensor size and acclaimed capabilities. I have some questions though, since some users are not pleased. For the latest software update, .154 or how much it is right now

- in low light / night, is there still a green tint ?

- pink tint solved on some patterns?

- is night mode usable when it's really dark, or what is its purpose if you can just use auto? I've seen some video review and it lights up the scene considerably, also changing the color nuances, but that was an older review

- how good is Pro mode in terms of customizing? (e.g. I want to choose what lens I want, AWB, shutter, F, ISO,) Does it have OIS enabled or not?

- is Pro mode usable to get a good picture when the color palette was mixed up? Or same results happen? I toyed around with a P30 on Pro mode but got same results for my orange shirt - it was a light red or smth, very disappointing.

- issues fixed with different color pallettes showing up sometimes? e.g instead of orange, you get a red etc (due to RYYB?)

- is video mode ok? (e.g. no artifacts/stutters on 4k/fhd)

I was also interested in P30 pro, but was mainly disappointed because of color palette inconsistency (due to RYYB). I suspect same thing here.

Please answer as I don't think S20 is worth it in the camera dept. However I don't want to spend on an unfinished inconsistent camera results product, even with "big" sensor size.

EDIT: Info about the color pallette:

https://makotoiwasaki.com/huawei-p40-pro-camera.html - Japanese site, you can use google Translate. Please look at the flower pics. He's saying that Galaxy S8 has the natural colors and P40 pro not.
[Huawei P40 Pro Real Life Review] Aldofe:
Perfect pic quality

This phone is better than some cameras in taking pics. Wow...

I just wonder if I can buy it in the EU and travel to the US? I have heard of a ban on all Huawei products:confused:

Any experiences in that regard are highly appreciated! :cool:

Keren Banget Bro!!!

Untuk produk huawei yang satu ini gak diragukan lagi, kameranya seperti di upgrade dari seri sebelumnya,, gak nyangka sih di tengah kondisi pandemi kaya gini Huawei tetep menelurkan produk terbaiknya.

Yang patut jadi pertimbangan adalah, apakah HP ini masi tidak disupport oleh Google? Jika iya jika dibandrol lebih dari 10 juta maka akan dirasa over price.

Tapi semua itu gak masalah jika kalian bisa mendapatkan keuntungan berlimpah di pandemi ini dengan bermain di 7bet-Agents pokoknya semua member barunya akan mendapatkan bonus 100% Deposit di muka,

Dengan bermain disini, kesempatan kalian bisa dapetin Huawei P40 akan meningkat dong?

[Huawei P40 Pro Real Life Review] forever_lol:
Pics quality is satisfactory, really nice. On the other hand video in lowlight condition (or maybe indoor recordings, bulb) is horrible. It's like there's no focus at all, very very blurry videos. It's strange cos pics are still decent.
[Huawei P40 Pro Real Life Review] Klosterbruder:
Selfie quality is quite nice, no comparison with the grotty selfies taken with the P20 Pro - except the subject my selfies usually show. ;)

There's one feature lacking - a less extreme bokeh effect with pictures taken in portrait mode.

See:

Oh, nothing to see, I am too much of a freshman for XDA allowing me to use external links to pictures. :rolleyes:

Just try for yourself: Switch to Portrait mode, front camera, select a bookeh effect (touch the effects button and choose whatever you like), take a picture with some background far away.

You'll notice you'll look like pasted into the picture, not natural, not really like part of the picture.

That's because each and every bokeh effect is overdone if using the effects, but not sufficient without.

Thus something intermediate would be a great addition, or even better: Some means for setting the effect's strength.
[Huawei P40 Pro Real Life Review] TomFordGoesForth:
I totally understand what you are saying. My P30 Pro and Mate 30 Pro used software to do the bokeh effect on the front cameras. Very similar results as the early P9 and P10 main cameras. Not very natural looking but has improved on the main camera over the years. My P40 Pro has not arrived yet but i am hopeful the dual front camera will improve this effect and make it more natural looking. I Still have my previous models so can compare and share the results once my new device has arrived.

Are you able to share any photos as examples?
[Huawei P40 Pro Real Life Review] Klosterbruder:
Hoi Tom! ;)

I skipped the P30, use P20 Pro and P40 Pro, so I don't know the selfie camera skills of the P30 series.

The difference between P20 Pro and P40 Pro is EXTREME, with the P40 Pro's selfies being that much better.

But as said - bokeh is overdone.

Here's two examples, need to use direct links because my post count is still below 10. ;)

http://waagerecht.com/kram/P40selfie2_sm.jpg

Problem is quite obvious, isn't it? Like standing in front of a photo wallpaper or photoshoped into the picture.
[Huawei P40 Pro Real Life Review] TomFordGoesForth:
Hi Klosterbruder

Thank you for the examples. You are right, there is a massive difference. These look like great quality for a front camera. If this was three years ago i would expect those pictures to have been from the main camera but understand what you mean, bokeh is over done. What i found from my P30 Pro is that because it is software and not hardware on the front camera it picks the objects behind the individual to create layers. I found that when the background had multiple items in the background that were different distances away from the camera it had a more natural effect. As your examples show it looks like Huawei are still using software to create the bokeh effect, even with having the dual camera on the front. I would have expected to be able to control the dual camera bokeh similar to the P9 standard.

I will do some digging on the Huawei community UK page to see if this is the case. We are seeing that updates will be coming but it would be interesting to find out if they will be updating the front camera also to rectify this issue.
[Huawei P40 Pro Real Life Review] Klosterbruder:
Rehoi, Tom! ;)

I forgot to mention an important detail: The sample pictures were taken with an additional bokeh feature switched on. That's what's causing the overdone effect. There are several effects to choose from; and I chose the LEAST strong effect.

Pictures taken without those feature show a typical f/2.2 bokeh, very clean and nice - but in many cases not sufficient for a face really standing out.

That's why I wished there was something in between. ;)

And as you already noticed: The frontcam picture are of a maincam quality, there's really NO comparison to the real weak front camera of my trusty P20 Pro.

It's cloudy at present and work is still overwhelming - maybe I can do some frontcam shots tomorrow for you to have a closer look at some more pleasing subjects. :D

I'm using Nova Launcher and I'm happy. What has really impressed me is how fast it downloads photos from my p40 pro to my Acer chromebook.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Accessories] bartimeus:
I tried to charge my Tilt today using the Car Charger that I got with it from AT&T but it isn't working. I accidently jammed my stylus into the mini usb port a few weeks ago andthen but it didn't look any different and nothing seemed to break off. It will still charge with my wall charger at home and will still sync with my computer. I know that the car charger is supposed to charge my phone faster but it should still use the same connections as my regular one..right? Could it be the ROM possibly? I can't test this right now because I am at work and my phone won't sync with my work computer.

Sorry if this is in the wrong forum please move if it is.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Accessories] ansv49:
Check the cigarette plug in your car, sometimes it can be full with dirt on the connector in the car.

I had the same problem today and cleaned it out just with a screwdriver so that its connecting now.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Accessories] bartimeus:
Well the light on the charger is lit so I assume there is power going to it and it works with my mom's razr charger. The USB port actually looks dirty but I wouldnt know how to clean it out lol
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Accessories] pharaohamps:
I had issues with my Tilt not charging in the car, which turned out to be a weird issue with CardExport. I had the CardExport tray icon set to autostart, and my phone would not charge in the car - only when connected to a PC. Disabling the CardExport tray icon and doing a soft reset fixed it. Now if I need to use CardExport I just start it manually.

HTH
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Accessories] cactusbob:
Check your mini-usb connector on the phone, if the bit in the middle doesnt seem level it won't charge at full speed
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Accessories] chaps:
bartimeus - Did you ever find a solution to this? I have been using Igo on my phone in the car heavily over the past few days for long trips. I have 3 car chargers and all wont charge the phone (resulting in no loss of satnav :-S).

Oddly, my phone shows that it is charging - sometimes only for a few minutes, sometimes continuosly - but it doesn't.

I accidentally shoved my stylus in the USB port too about 10 months ago and i wonder if this is a result of that. Odd it charges from a PC by usb and mains though - but not via a car charger.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Accessories] JimmyMcGee:
I found that any of the Cheap ass Chargers I used won't charge it. I'm waiting for my HTC made one to arrive so I can find out if there is an issue.

I read on a thread a while back about pin 4 and pin 5 need to be soldered together for the Kaiser to want to charge.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Accessories] emj1s:
I have this problem but have never used cardexport... any known fixes?

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Accessories] jackleung:
Not sure if this is the case for Tytn II, my Asus P525 need to have the middle 2 pins (D+ and D-) short in order to charge.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Accessories] JimmyMcGee:
I vaguely remember reading that some people shorted Pins 4 and 5 and it worked.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Accessories] jackleung:
I don't know how you come up w/ Pin5 as USB has only 4 pins (5+, Ground, D+, D-). Read the spec here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USB

I will do the mod on one of my adapter tonight and verify it
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Accessories] JimmyMcGee:
Look for Mini-B It has Five Connections. That's what I'm referring too.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Accessories] jackleung:
Then it would be pin 2 and pin3 for D+ and D-.

Ok, let me share what I found so far and the result turns out to be very surprising. I have 3 different cigarette to usb adapter (yes, I got lot of gadgets to feed in my car. ;)). And the test are done w/ maximum backlight and A2DP music to my JVC BT-1.

1. Cheapo w/o current rating label, (I guess it's about ~500ma). D+ and D- shorted

2. Another cheapo rated w/ 650ma. D+ and D- NOT shorted

3. An expensive one w/ rated at 2A (yes, this is the only one w/ enough juice for my power hungry Dell Axim x51v). D+ and D- NOT shorted.

result: 1 = work, 2 = not work, 3 = not work.

Then I shorted both 2 and 3

result: 1 = work, 2 = not work, 3 = not work.

It seem shorten D+ and D- does not change the result. Just about to conclude I didn't prove anything and about to give up, and I try a different USB to mini-USB cable. It surprise me all of them are working!!!

From the pic below, the charging icon of battery status mean the cable is connected. Current w/ a plus sign mean the Tilt is being charge

Cable 1:

Cable2:

Therefore, I conclude:

1. it turns out my AT&T Tilt are very picky about the USB cable quality.

2. For cigar to USB adapter, maximum support current and the quality may not very important.

3. We may or we may not need to shorten D+ and D- since I don't want to spend time to unshort them.

p.s. I still don't understand why cable 1 gives bigger charge on adapter 1 but refuse to charge on the rest, while cable 2 give consistent charge on all adapter. I re-test several times but gives the same result.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Accessories] JimmyMcGee:
Short Pin 5 (+5V) and Pin 4 (unused). And tell me what happens.
