Just done the "in good light" comparison of camera in P9 Lite vs P8 Lite and... there is no detail in P9 Lite
Everything looks plastic and flat, little details are gone due to strong and agressive demosaic alghoritm in P9 Lite jpeg engine.
P8 Lite is far far better in image quality
Here is the comparison, please view it in 100% and just look for structure in this paving
https://s32.postimg.org/xp9jtww4z/structural.png
Please look close at the structure of the paving.
The same same happens with grass or leaves or forests in landscape and every minor detail in pictures done with P9 Lite
You can also see the "plastic flat" pictures done with P9 Lite in this comparison
http://www.tabletowo.pl/2016/06/15/fotograficzne-porownanie-huawei-p9-vs-huawei-p9-lite/
Do You think will be there any update of camera firmware or some RAW saving option or just some presets or settings with detail structure to restore small details?

I didn't test p9 lite camera in good light conditions, but from my opinion, it sucks....
In every photo is a terrible lack of detail and a good amount of noise.
I've tested "pro mode" on 2 software version b104 and b131 which I've received earlier today.
Change log don't provide any information about camera improvements.
About raw... Definitely isn't an option for this device.

Honestly, I doubt it. There were no users that complained to Huawei directly, so I think it won't be resolved.
I remember for one of my previous devices, Xperia M2, Lollipop update messed up the camera quality, so I, and a number of other users, complained to Sony, and they rolled out a specific update that solved the issue.
Personally, if you "take care" of how you shoot photos, results can be amazing.

hello and thank you for answers, i have the phone for two weeks and i tried all settings, the the i have the same opinion like OP i had alot of phones, perosnaly i like this one, but the camera just killed me, my previous phones were lenovo k4, huawei p8lite, lg d820, sony z2 and i stoped on p9 lite, the p9 lite have the worst camera actually the p9 lite have more similar camera to xperia z2, im going to complain now on huawei website, i hope someone follow me so they can do something, its amazing phone but the camera just remove the stars from the phone.
Wtf dude, daytime camera is freakin' awesome, and I had LG G3 and Xperia Z3 before this. Nighttime camera is excellent with Pro or Night mode. Calm your tits.

fisrt of all, hello!
Second, its rude to talk like this, did you see for what OP is complaining, THIS IS THE PROBLEM, thats why i and other people discuss this, the camera is not good, i had p8 lite and like in the photo the camera of p8 lite is better and with strong detail and contrast, not to mention rich colors, like you see is not only me, if you have something useful to say let me read it, otherwise your opinion dont matter, and again look at the OP photos to see diffrence.
Hi, everyone.
I agree, for me, oficial camera overprocess and get plastic efect on low ligth conditions. I try many camera apps ( proshot, footej camera, snap camera, htc10 camera , google camera, freedcam) and all they get TOO MUCH noise in all conditions. In official camera, obviously the overprocess is for erase the noise , but you get plastic efect, and other apps, get more detailed images but very noisy in all conditions even day light.
Its my experience, hope some app could process and disapear noise with out plastic efect.
Sorry for my english

hello, you cant make better photos with apps, the problem is not the camera is the software wich stop the full potential of the camera, i send a complain to huawei about the problem, they send me mail to make hard reset and try pro mode, i tell them i tried everything the the result is the same, i chated with support of my coutry, they tell me that they will send that to huawei devs, suggest every one who own p9 lite to send a compalin, in other thread of xda are talking for the new andoird N but there is not fix for the camera.
The camera is good...other cams are just better...

im waiting the official update. i dont trust leaked versions.
just wondering does snapchat work well on your devices, thinking of buying this phone but use snapchat a lot. on my current android phone performance of snapchat is abysmal. is it acceptable on the op3t or unusable?
thanks
Much better than what I got on the Nexus 6, which pretty much forced me to downgrade so the features don't slow down my phone. It's been really smooth for me so far.

Hi. Can you post a few photos taken with sc and with stock camera app?
Also, if you're willing to do so, can u take the pictures in both good and bad lightning conditions?
Wanna compare op3t snapchat performance with my iph6
So the non marked ones are stock camera app and the Snapchat ones are saved via Snapchat. I would take this with a pinch of salt as I'm 110% Snapchat compresses the pictures. Also there is no lo light assist via snap while the stock camera has HQ mode for low light. The last plant shot is a Selfie camera pic which BTW is really good.
Hope this helps!
https://www.dropbox.com/s/8emjqyzci7k95h6/camera v snapchat.rar?dl=0 (couldn't upload for some reason).
snapchat will never be good on android until the actual developers work on a better code. All it does at this moment is take a screenshot of your display and thats why for us it looks so bad but I will say with owning a 3T that its the best performance of any android phone I have used the app on
I bought a 3T in the end, and there's no lag using it.. Snapchat performance is good, I think it's only been slow once or twice on me. Definitely not something to worry about .
Unfortunately Snapchat is crappy on Android in general. Laggy, poor performance and leads to battery drain sometimes.
Hello good afternoon
I bought the maxx bike about 3 days ago, and it's an excellent cell phone, except for some things that are not optimized like the performance of the battery, which is solved with greenify.
I come from a motorola G1 and Alcatel idol 3, and I am astonished that the video recording on the moto maxx is inferior or similar to the one of these cell phones, I still can not find any app that will benefit you :/
Find an app that really took advantage of the photos, like the bacon camera or the HDR snap camera, but I still can not find an app that makes me satisfied with the video recording :/
Do you recommend any app for video recording?
A query, I occupy many social networks, and I just realized that when I try to record a video in stories is really horrible, it seems recorded in 240p, you know why that happens?
Edit: Here I found people with the same problem https://www.reddit.com/r/droidturbo/comments/57yy4p/instagram_story_camera_quality_on_turbo_1/
Greetings and thanks.
Your answer is in that thread:
I had the same experience with the photos as you described. Videos just look like garbage. FYI I just found out you can upload from your camera roll if you swipe down while in the story camera. I’ll test the quality and see if it is better when taken with the normal camera first.

I have been uploading from the camera roll and have been getting much clearer uploads compared to shooting in the app. I only use the main camera so I can't comment on the selfie camera. I imagine the app just is not optimized for the og turbo's camera. Maybe it will get better but I might have a new phone by then.

DON'T use that app to record your video. Record your video and attach it/upload it through app.

That is known, thank you.
But currently the application has the option for live videos and just the rear camera looks horrible in this, while the front looks like you should see.
He sent several messages to instagram but received no response on the problem; This is precisely why I do this query here.

This sounds like an Instagram problem.
Are you running a custom ROM -- if so have you tried OTHER camera apps which are available? For instance, I have one of the Moto G cameras running on my Moto Maxx. There are others. Do they all have the same issue?
Hi
With the latest Nokia Camera Pro or a suitable GCam installed, is it fair to say that the Nokia 8's camera performance is now reasonably acceptable, say, comparable to a good 2017 mid-range phone, and with usable OIS?
Or do you think it is still sub-par?
In addition to picture quality, practical issues like focusing speed and accuracy are also important considerations.
Thanks in advance for any feedback.
I have a GCam mod installed, Arnova's version and in my opinion the picture quality is very good, at least in good light conditions. In difficult light conditions the camera still has its limits. The Nokia Pro Camera app has not changed much here in my opinions though there is potential for future improvement. However, we have to see what Nokia can deliver. That being said, the picture quality in my opinion with a suitable GCam mod is more than sufficient and I have taken some very nice pictures with the phone already. I definitely do not think it is any worse than a 2017 mid ranger. I have not experienced issues with auto focus on the GCam mods.
I use the Nokia app almost exclusively now, it still has some silly problems but the image output is satisfactory for a phone snapper.
I used to use a mix of GCam and the nokia pro app. In good light the photos are really good.
The main issue i had was the phone never focused when i used to point it downwards (say for example taking a photo of my dog). i had to hold it facing up and wait for it to focus and then take the photo.
Hi
Has the Nokia 8's camera performance improved even further with the latest GCam CStark version, which seems to be the preferred mod on XDA? Would any user care to share their recent experience?
Thanks!
Hopeless in low light, ok in day light.
GCam helps a lot.
I use the latest Arnova version and it works very well, also in lowlight.
Wirh gcam very best , nice pics , nokia software is ****
