First off, the second pic...wow!!
These look amazing! If the new Nexus had this quality, I'd be one happy camper! The rest is gravy!

I just hope it is better than the one on Nexus 4 as that one is pretty bad.

could go either way at this point... N4 2013!
nice pics though, hard to tell how they stack up without comparing to other cams though. Also while the sensor seems solid we know nothing about the N5 optic stack which is just as important if not more so.

Great pics, but there's a lot of noise on that blue sky.
Indoor shots have surprisingly low noise though.

if it looks as good as in those shots, it's a must buy. especially if it's priced at $299

There's some noise due to welcomed minimal post-processing, but it's uniform not color, which is good news. The IMX179 does pretty well up to ISO 400, from ISO640 and above of course noise becomes significant (still uniform). Then again; I'd put it around the iPhone 5 level which is more than satisfying. Hoping for the same F2.0 lens on the Nex5.

Even those low-light shots looks promising
Is that due to the OIS thingy that the camera has? (Not even quite sure what it means / how it works)

OIS stands for optical image stabilization, but as far as I can tell, the Meizu MX3 doesn't have it, nor do I expect the Nexus 5 to be packed with it. That's a nice area to cut corners. The MX3 pulls these shots cause of the nice Sony BSI sensor, wide F2.0 lens and long exposure time. There's also a lot of noise looking at full size shots at and above ISO800, but results do deliver really nice color accuracy (relative to mobile phones).

Very good photos, nexus 5 would be great

I don´t understand why but my Xperia arc have already an exmor sensor with 1.4μm but when i put the photos at 100% they are much worse than that. Maybe software related?

I also have an arc s, and photo quality depens not only by megapixel but also by lens and software related.
Certainly the lens and the sensors of the mx3 are better, but also the software do his job (have you noticed that photos with a stock-based rom with ics are better than photos with jelly bean?)

According to the N5 log leak, repair manual leak and the recent leak on the Italian blog it does have OIS. So thats promising! Heres to hoping the OIS makes it to production.

That is just a draft, much of the information was copied over from the Nexus 4. Since "OIS camra" is keep being mentioned, my guess is that at the time of making that draft, the camera unit was not yet decided, otherwise it would state it's product number. I do wish we'd get an OIS snapper, but don't find it very realistic. They always cut the price at camera first. With that said, the IMX179 would be a step-up from the current sensor.

I'm not to worried about the camera it's the camera app that worries me. Hopefully it's not a slouch this time and includes 60fps at 1080p

[Q] Any way to improve poor camera results?

The Xperia T is an amazing phone. Coming from an HTC Sensation, it seems like an improvement in almost all aspects:
1. The svelte matte design is definitely an improvement with excellent weight distribution.
2. Faster Processor
3. More RAM and more Internal Space
4. NFC
5. Official support till 4.3
Having said all that, the camera is a bit of a disappointment. For me, I find the current pictures overexposed and no saturation in colors, with lots of noise. (The noise is unbelievable) The algorithm compresses the pictures a little too much. I expected better from a 13 megapixel camera and that too from Sony.
In my Sensation with its 8MP camera, I am using an AOSP 4.2 release, whose camera apk allows me to select picture quality and I set it to Super. The resulting pictures are larger in size (4.0 MB - 5.69MB) but a joy to see with wonderful exposure balance and no noise in morning shots. I tried the same with Xperia T, but even when selecting Super or using Stock Rom, the camera is still not working up to par. I have tested the Xperia T camera on stock, OmniRom and CM Roms
I was just wondering, is this hardware limitation or the software/kernel is to blame?
Hope to hear from all on this. Thank you.

Try the Cyber Shot camera mod for XT and XV by (I think) Rizal Lovins.. It has all software values maxed, for optimum quality.
Should be somewhere in the Xperia T Themes and Mods section.

I can also recommend Camera MX, as it does not only provide a very potent image editor featuring HDR and probably everything else you desire, but also lets you scale your desired image encoding quality completely freely from 0 to 100 (which is basically what every camera mod does).
Also, this camera app makes our phones able to even create 16:9 images at 13MP, unlike the stock 4:3 format at this resolution.

But all these are just tricks, that have very little in common with quality improvement. You can't produce a 13MP 16:9 photo when the phone sensor is 13MP at 4:3. It's only an interpolation, I can aswell make a software that will create 1000MP image from our phones, but the image quality will be questionable at least
As for the question, you can alyways try different settings/scenes. Also you might have faulty unit with bad camera, post the photos you believe are poor and we might be able to help.
Also, Sony last years have been pretty bad at camera quality. I say it's hardware, camera in Xperia T is not bad, but it ain't awesome either. Just have a look at this comparison from GSMArena, both pics scaled to 8MP, you can clearly see that HTC Sensation is superior.

Crappy close up / zoomed i n camera quality?

So I love my nexus 6 and the quality of the camera taking normal distance shot is great but what not so great, at least for me, is the crappy quality of photos taken up close or zoomed in.
If I try to take a picture up close, it's blurry and doesn't focus. If I try to take a picture from a distance and try to zoom in to focus, it doesn't work either.
There are many circumstances that I need up close pictures taken such as when I use my fitnesspal app where I have to take shots of barcodes to add to my nutrition log. I also work In IT and use my phone to take pictures of the back of equipment in tight spaces such as the server room.
Does anyone else experience what I am experiencing with close up pictures not focusing?

Bump?
Sent from my Nexus 6

I wouldn't bump it if I were you. IMO, the people who own the device will most likely disagree with you to justify their purchase or haters will spread hate and will end up comparing it with other devices causing flame war.

first off, you have to stay back a few more inches on the nexus 6, about 7 inches or so. and dont zoom in, that automatically reduces the quality. you can crop it lateer, much better than zooming in. besides that, you have to touch to focus. tap where you would like the camera to focus, and thats where itll "focus"(quality will be better there)

I think the camera is pretty decent personally, it's not like the best on the market or anything. It surely is far from the worst though.

Yeah as mentioned, zoomed in pictures are always going to be crap. We don't have optical zoom, we have digital zoom. All digital zoom does is crop the image grabbed from the sensor in the middle and then blow it back up to the same size. You can reproduce this yourself in Microsoft Paint for example.
See below for example
Download this 500x450 image: http://www.prime-junta.net/pont/img/How_to/ha_Testing_lenses/high_acc_low_res.jpg

Select a part of the picture in the middle...
Crop it...
Set the image size back to the original (or as close as you can get)...
Voila, poor quality image..

I'm a hobbyist photographer, have a degree in video production and work for a university doing this stuff. I will be honest that I have just gotten the Nexus 6 and haven't had a chance to really put the camera through its paces yet. But I can provide some general information that might help you understand what could be going on.
First of all, every lens has a minimum focusing distance. This is going to vary for each lens/camera. If the lens is closer to the object than this minimum focusing distance, then it can't find focus - the pieces of glass just don't have the room to move to the right place to focus. This is why people buy Macro lenses - they can focus a lot closer than other lenses. Now, I'm not saying buy a Macro lens. I'm just bringing that up for reference. There are Macro lenses you can buy for smartphones, but I never used any so I can't comment on what's good or if they're worth it. But this could help if it's that important to you. The only thing I will caution you with if you DO go for a macro lens is that these tend to provide a very shallow depth of field (blurry background/foreground is exaggerated). In a nutshell, this phone may not be able to focus on things very close.
With regards to zooming in - there's no real zoom on this camera or any released prior. Some new phones demonstrated at CES (or at least one) has a real zoom built in. What I mean is optical zoom. Optical zoom is the actual mechanical movement of the lens to zoom in on objects. So far, there has only been digital zoom. Digital zoom is no different than cropping. The problem with this is we have a fixed number of pixels for the image. When we crop or digitally zoom, we throw away a chunk of pixels on 3 or 4 of the sides we're zooming/cropping to and enlarging the remaining pixels. The more we zoom or crop, the lower the image quality becomes.
If you're scanning barcodes, I'd say perhaps you're doing it wrong. Most apps don't need to see this very close - it doesn't need to fill the entire screen. You can also indicate where to focus by tapping the screen what to focus on - this will help.

I've tried taking pictures close and from a distance with zoom. I just can't get it to focus quick enough to reaD barcodes.
Previous to my nexus 6 I was able to use my nexus 5 and iPhone 5s with ease. I literally would pull up the app, scan the barcode up close and it would read it instantly.

I'm having the same issue. Even without digital zoom, any subject within about a foot and a half are fairly to completely blurry, getting worse the closer it gets. I understand lenses have limits with regard to focal distances, but as the phone attempts to focus, the subject becomes crystal clear once or twice before the autofocus settles on a blurry setting. So far I've tried clearing the cache and data and restoring the camera app to the factory settings. I've also tried a different camera app, but the same issue was still present.

why autofocus? itll focus on an average focus. if you want it focused right, then touch to focus.

Same problem happens with touch focus and average focus.

Mi 10 Ultra - dimensions needed to clear the ultrawide lens field of view.

FYI, on the Mi 10 Ultra, this should be the clearance you will need to have for phone clamps and gimbals if you don't want them to appear in the shot of the ultrawide camera.

Phone clamps will have to be mounted off-center to the right.
It's possible that the only way to mount this in a gimbal without getting part of the clamp or gimbal in the shot would likely be to use a tray-style gimbal (not a clamp style ie. DJI Osmo 2/3, Zhiyun Smooth X, Hohem iSteady X, etc.) with a way to offset the phone or add counterweights.
I'm eager to hear about personal experiences with gimbals on this phone though!

We still don't know if the geometric center is the center of gravity though. I wonder if the battery weight could move the center of gravity away from the camera system.
Guess we'll have to wait and see.

The geometric center is almost assuredly not the center of gravity. Most every other phone has the center of gravity towards the charging port (right side in the diagram) but the huge problems with the Mi 10 Ultra are that:
- The ultrawide lens is the lens closest to the center of the phone, which is an incredibly stupid thing for Xiaomi to do. They've done the same on the Mi 9 and other Mi 10 phones as well, so this isn't new or special for Xiaomi. It's a dumb design flaw that has persisted across multiple iterations of their phones.
- The ultrawide lens is the widest ultrawide on any smartphone right now.
- Any infringement on the ultrawide will be occurring on the horizontal side of videos shot in landscape orientation, so you don't be able to crop in without losing a ton of resolution and field of view.

You see why I'm interested in:

And we're back to my solution - shooting in 8k UW, zooming, cropping and producing 4k.
Probably not the best for anyone but I'm currently working that way. Using a phone as a B cam, shooting in 4k and cropping but, as you can imagine, quality is far from perfect.
That's why I so hope Mi 10 ultra shoots high quality UW 8k and gives me some control over the process.

Thanks for the clarification. Did you try to mount it in a gimbal and shooting UW?

I don't have the phone, but just by looking at the measurements I can't imagine how any gimbal could work on this with the ultrawide. If it's not the clamp and roll motor immediately getting into the view, the tilt motor probably would.
I'm also unable to find any videos shot on YouTube with the ultrawide and a gimbal for any of the previous Xiaomi phones with their ultrawide in a similar position on the phone.

I don't understand gimbals much because I never looked into them but based on the above info: when you need a gimbal, would it be possible to attach a removable lead or iron weight to the bottom of the phone to bring the center of gravity way towards that end?

Impossible to use with a gimbal
I bought the mi 10 ultra due to the wider opening angle of the market in wide camera. I tested all the shooting modes and in all of them there is a specific phone stabilization system EXCEPT the video made with the wide camera, which makes the use of the gimbal mandatory if you want a stable video. But the wide camera is in the MIDDLE of the device, that is, the arm and the motor of the gimbal cover all the video on the right side of the scene. Some users are saying to crop the video, but crop videos do not require the gimbal, yet if you want to use it, the gimbal still appears.

Question Has Anyone Else Had This Issue Shooting 4K Video With The 3x Camera?

Here's the information on my current version and also here is a video showing the issue.
This issue only occurs when shooting in 4K. When shooting in 1080p it's absolutely fine. Which makes me think it's a software issue. I've tried resetting the camera app, clearing cache and data etc. But nothing seems to help. Is anyone else having this issue, or does anyone know a fix for it?
I've only just got the phone and finished setting it all up and when testing the camera I noticed this.
Here's another video showing the issue of shooting video using the 3x camera in 4K. As well as showing that it doesn't occur when shooting in 1080p. As some people thought it was due to low light.

I am no expert in photography or filming, but it may well be due to physical limitations of the camera icw software and not necessarily a bug.

It happens when using UHD 30 in 16:9 and starting recording in 1x, then switching to 3x to zoom in. When shooting in FHD it doesn't happen though.

The other weird thing is that it doesn't happen when using UHD 30 in Full instead of 16:9 either

Not sure what is wrong here? If it is the blurriness and lack of focus when zoomed then that is normal as the 3x is too close to the subject to focus.

No issue here, in particular when I verify ability camera to focus at 3x in advance and adjus the minimum distance between object (also a watch with illuminating dial at dark wooden table) and S21U camera (G998B).
If I start too close, no good focus thus bit blurry at 3x, but no lighting issue.
My guess is that the lighting conditions in shown video are just too dim.

It's too dark and you are too close to the object for the 3x to focus properly.
The 3x has a tighter aperture and it takes in much less light than the 1x. It is only meant to be used in well lit scenarios and also not as close as you have it.
You also say it works if you shoot in FHD, so if you can also make the same video with the EXACT same conditions, do it and show us.

I've added another video to the first post now showing a comparison between the 4K and 1080p videos. Also shoot in low light to show that it's not due to that.

I think you can mark your issue as solved and I will tell you why.
The reason that it looks fine on FHD, is because the phone does NOT switch to the 3x camera when you press the button. Since you are recording at 1080, it just crops the image smoothly. While at 4K it switches cameras and since you are too close to your object, the 3x camera does not manage to Focus. You can test this by putting your finger infront of the camera and see.
I would advice that you pull your phone 10cm back and then try this again, the 3x camera should then focus properly.

I think
babyboy3265 is correct. See my video from not so close to object.​
