If there comes the Honor v8 with 4GB RAM and Kirin 950 to europe, would you still decide for P9 or buy v8?
I mean, the v8 can be overclocked and run like a 955. Im not interested in 2k, cause of possible bad graphics.
Lets wait and see, if the camera settings is the same, but i think it can be ported as soon as the device comes out.
If only the smallest version comes to official selling points, then P9 would be my favorite.
Some hints or opinions about that?
Honor also releases Kernel Sources, or it can be dropped from another huawei device?

Camera is definitely different. Although both sport the same dual 12MP rear cameras and 8MP front shooter, it's confirmed that Leica was only involved with the P9 and not the V8, but they still work the same way by combining the RGB and black and white image together.
While we are still on the topic of cameras, there is one big difference when it comes to camera features. For one, even though the V8 has dual lens camera, it doesn't have any monochrome mode like the P9. On the other hand, the V8 has this gif like moving image capture feature, which the P9 doesn't have (but perhaps could have with later updates), and I highly recommend that you visit this site to see how cool it is.
Also, another key difference is the VR feature from V8, during the reveal, it was shown that the device features a professional eye protection technology for the screen for watching movies or playing games in the long run, and has a special cinema mode when the phone is laid horizontally, along with stereo speakers to enhance the overall viewing experience. P9 is purely for photography purpose.
So. Whats the verdict?
I'm also considering those 2. And huawei ascend mate 8.
im more in stereo speakers, thats why i cant 100% take the P9.

it depends on which feature you like more one for VR and the other for camera respectively. Personally, I'd take P9 because I prefer photography and slim phone.
So what about you?
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.
Hi i'm new here and have a question,
I have been using the MI A1 for nearly a year now and my partner who is not really very technically minded (but more so than me) came to xda and downloaded some kind of 'mod' that put GCAM on my phone apparently without any risk or hacking knowledge and in short I absolutely loved it and went from disliking my A1 to loving the nicely balanced photos it could produce.
Fast forward to today I recieved a MI A2 for my birthday and even though I'm enjoying the bigger screen I am really struggling with the camera app that came on it, I really want to be happy with my new phone and give my MI A1 to my son but atm I don't want to let it go just because of GCAM feature.
So my question is , is it likely that a similar technophobe friendly/risk free method of putting GCAM on my MI A2 will appear in the near future so that my partner can easily put it on for me or am I going to be forever stuck with the MIUI camera.
Does anyone else feel the same about the MIUI camera app, that it just seems a little unbalanced when compared to MI A1 with the GCAM feature added or is it just me being ungrateful?
Thank you for your time
GCam is already available for the Mi A2. Further more, the full MIUI camera app is also available so just let your partner dig the forum up a bit and install it As far as I've seen, the results are great

Very Nice photos, lights and sharpness, however, focus dots present in some of them. Once you seen them, you never can unseen them.
Huawei has CONSIDERABLY lowered the camera quality over the updates, I'm currently on EMUI 11 and I want to get to 9.1 as fast as possible.
I tried downgrading to 9.1 via HiSuiteProxy but it doesn't work it says Failed to Install when I get to 100%
Am I doing something wrong? What should I try? Downgrading to 10.1 first ? Use dload method?
Please help me I'm going to go crazy
i thought it was me alone.. the camera quality has been horrible as the updates rolled out.. used to be a beast esp the 50x focusing and the night mode. it used to be flawless to capture stars, now it looks like the camera has astigmatism...
