Screen is very good. Very sensitive thou, even after update fix. It's very bright and has good colours.
Camera is not better than a iPhone 6 or Samsung S7. Better colour, but not sharp. I've tried and compared them because it felt like the pictures from the camera where really bad and had a lot of noise. But hey, I still love the phone for all its other things and I think the camera noise can be fixed with and update or third party app with full camera support.

I had a S7 before the xz2c and I confirm pictures are way better on xz2c with all lightning conditions... so don't say bull$hit!!

Your phone needs service repair.

[Q]optimus 2x camera?

I have to buy a new phone,and i found an offer on this model.
I was wondering if the lg 2x camera is good as the iphone 4 >_<
Personally yeah. i think its better.
My housemate has one and we are forever arguing which one is better. And i think the O2X camera is ace IMO.
I think it is :-??
The camera of the 2x is one of the worst cameras in a smartphone. I have other 3 smartphones and all of them are better.
regards!

Would be nice if youd mention those other smartphones.
Ot: personally i think the camera quality is pretty damn decent , alot better than my gf's iphone 4 imo
Sent from my Optimus 2X using XDA App
Well, it IS better than the iPhone 4.. i mean, without the backcover, i just makes some very nive pictures.. and it can shoot 1080p vids ;D
With enough lighting, they are pretty close in term of quality. But in low light, the iPhone 4 is noticably better. It clearly fares better than the o2x.

No, it's not. Maybe yours is faulty?
When I bought my O2x I had the option to choose between SGSII, O2x and one HTC something, I compared the photos on the reviews and O2x was the second best (the first was SGSII), but when I went shopping the Samsung was hefty overpriced, like 150 EUR more than the O2x and I ended buying the LG.
The camera is nice, but of course, you can't expect a Nikon or Canon DSLR quality from such small sensor.
Personally i dont like the o2x's camera. And my mates SGS2 is way better IMO.
The thing about reviews online, is that they rarely test the device's camera in low light conditions. And there is where a good camera sensor shines. And frankly, the o2x, in low light conditions is quite bad.
i think it's good with a good illumination but when the sun go down the camera works bad..
Indeed, the camera in low light, or night setting is awful, in software.
The preview is fine, then one takes the photo, and the image is frozen,
and then the image processing kicks in, and most of the detail is lost,
with just a few bright dots, and over-saturated lighting now remaining!
The over-saturated lighting is also a problem with daytime lighting too.
This is in such stark contrast to my previous Nokia E90. On that, I was
able to take a photo in apparent darkness, the frozen image would be
almost black, then the image processing brought out excellent detail,
sometimes more than I could see with a naked eye. Truly remarkable!
Since the problem is software, as far as I see it, there could be a fix.

The camera is decent for a smartphone. There is very few smartphones with better cameras. One is the Samsung Galaxy SII, which in general is a better phone, but also more expensive and I like the O2X's look better.
The camera takes very nice pictures in snapshot mode. When taking pictures in bad lighting condition, it still outdoes many other cameras in snapshot mode but for good pictures you should use Night mode or manually alter the ISO value.
The LG camera App has many settings that can be altered.
The Pictures show more detail than the ones taken with an iPhone 4. The iP4 has hardly any settings and uses automatic enhancement software like HDR or enhance. With the O2X and an app like camera360 the HDR looks better then on an iP4 and you can adjust the level of photo enhancement.
However, the pretty good LG camera software does not work with CM7.1. So if you plan to flash CM on your phone, you have to bear with a very basic camera software which I reckon is the reason for some people in this thread calling the O2X camera "bad".

Yeap, I agree with mike, and it is even better if you use a modified/patched stock LG camera such as by AndiCP which gives better picture and especially video because of the increased bitrate.
Overall, its a decent camera, abit on the downside when it comes to low light conditions, some say the back cover if taken off gives a more better picture, but hey.. this is the cheapest dualcore phone with 8mp and full HD recording you can get.. can't really complain.
Cheers!

That's for sure
From 1.to10.
Daylight - 7.5
Lowlight ( without flash ! ) - 4
For me Carl Zeiss makes best sensors for mobile cameras `for now` ... e.g. N8...
and yes , N95 8gb makes better pictures than most newest android phones ....
Has anybody seen this thread. Mindblowing that O2X camera can shoot these pics. Appears too good to be true. Credit to "mimstyle", the shooter for talking such brilliant photos with O2X.

Camera Quality of Xz2

Hi there,
This phone is cheaper to buy here as compare to others phones with snapdragon 845 . It gives better value when consider price to specs ratio. My only concern is about camera quality. Is camera quality match to Pixel 2 XL, HTC U11, P20 pro, S9 plus, Mi 8 etc ? Currently using pixel 2 XL

It was just one of the best photophone of 2018, you can see the reviews...
How does it compare with Pixel 2, I don't know.

The camera was very fine in 2018
Btw if you want to move to a custom ROM, there the camera driver should get better than stock in the following months.
I used the phone in the last 2 months. Camera is super ok in daylight and I can say I never missed a shot. Low light shots on the other hand require steady hands.
As a normal user I can say you won't notice a really big difference from other flagships.
What I really enjoy tho is the light post processing of pictures. All the shots have that grain of real pictures and a special vibe. In addition the white balance and color reproduction are again almost perfect.
I concur with what DUMIY said.
In daylight the pics have something special, they look like they are coming from a real camera, the color science is very good.
In low light it falls apart.

Low light suffer because of lack of OIS? How is video quality?
Its strange that others manufacture are using sony hardware and getting better results than sony because of better software processing ...like HDR+ , nightsight in pixel and supernight mode in Huawei etc which do magic in low lights ...I guess in good lighting condition even midrange will give better results ...flagship camera excel in challenging condition
video quality is a lot better than photo quality tbh, especially 4k hdr recording

Jump from S10+ to P30 Pro?

Hello,
I came from Mate 20 Pro and now I own S10+ but I'm thinking to make a change and buy an P30 Pro. I want to know how is the camera and the display (can you see the pixels)? I don't use RAW format only normal shoots (day and night). The S10+ camera is a joke on the night shoots but on daylight is excelent.

Camera is honestly a hit or miss. Some shots come out amazing... others look like they were taken on an android phone like 5 years ago. I am a professional photographer so I can pick up on many details quite well.
Have I ever used the 5x camera - nope, kinda gimmicky and only fun to show friends
Portrait mode has way too aggressive of a blurring with o k a y edge detection
Front facing camera is hit or miss with exposure and also more importantly focus and sharpness
Rear camera photos are a lot of time wayyy too sharp where it looks like you purposefully pumped the sharpness up in an editor.
Night time photography is amazing though, like actually really really amazing.
Camera is overall pretty meh though tbh
Display:
Nice colors, pretty accurate.
Pixel density is low, coming from a 2k device I will never choose a 1080p panel ever again.
Only thing keeping me on this phone is the battery life
Just do it. I missed the screen first couple of days then got used to it ... Camera, battery life, super fast charging even using car charger made my life easier. Even video recording, there is no 60 4k but zooming and night mode on this thing makes it unbeatable
Thank you for reply. I wait for other impressions.

I don't think that worth change a S10+ for a P30 PRO, for me they are equivalents.

I feel the same way ... After mate 10 pro i swear to myself would be iPhone or pixel only , than my provider came with and offer the P30 Pro cheap...i got and lemme Tell you .. is a great peace of hardware but seems that chinese companies cant code ... And software is almost everything nowadays!
i agree with danny....EMUI and screen resolution are the main downsides. My previous phone was the Samsung Note 9. Low resolution makes the finer details look pixelated.
Zoom and bokeh are pretty nice and useful (for me since i can take pic of notes from the blackboard from far away). Battery life is amazing. If only the P30 Pro has OneUI and a QHD screen, this phone would be perfect.
Thanks guys! For me the resolution is not a peoblem even my s10+ stays on full hd resolution. Also I like the EMUI it's not a big deal for me . My concerns are the low pixel density of the screen and the camera on daylight.
I just moved to the P30 Pro from an iPhone 6
I looked at both in teh store, read reviews, watch reviews and they both seem to be as good as each other depending on what the situation is
I went with teh P30 just to be a bit differenet
Cameras on both S10+ and P30 Pro are excellent, but I think Night Mode on Huawei is superior to Samsungs, although Sammy has improved it in last update. As for EMUI, well, it depends. It's kinda messy but once you tune some things here and there I think it's nice. At least I have no problem with it. It feels more responsive than Samsung's One UI (and previously TouchWiz). Super Charging is extremely helpful, I remember when I had Note9 it's fast charging was a joke, it was comparable to 2015 charging rate.

I compared S10+ Night mode with Mate 20 Pro Night mode and I tell you that S10+ Night mode it's a joke even with last update.
s10+ day shot is very good but its look like editing the color are not normal , night shot is not usable its not good charge is slow and battery life is bad the screen is perfect but because of battery life i was use it on FHD+ and if you buy it you will too , in QHD the battery life almost 4 H OST , the stereo sound is perfect .
the P30 pro i love this camera in day and night , very speed charge and a good battery life . the screen is good for me and the sound is high but not stereo , i change from s10+ to p30 pro because of battery life and heating over gaming , if you have any Question just ask man
Recently swapped to the p30pro from s10plus.
Things I really miss.
Great video recording
Excellent stereo speakers
Headphone jack
Screen
Ui.. A little
Ear piece speaker for phone calls.
Things to consider when buying a P30pro.
Tiny symmetrical notch.
Camera zoom... Obviously.
Battery life.
Bluetooth audio lag is worst on this phone.
Speaker sucks ass
Video recording is OK.
Cannot turn off EIS in video like you can on the s10plus... Annoying.
Weird ui.
You will need nova launcher prime
Still Camera is amazing.

That is good to hear
I went from S9+ to P30 Pro and I am really satisfied so far.
Battery life is way better.
Screen is less sharp, but also less warm-leaning then Samsung with its orange tint (which may actually more accurate but doesn't look as good subjectively). I cannot distinguish single pixels
Camera is indeed a hit-or-miss that also was the case on my Samsung. The photos that do come out better are incredible and low light performance just obliterates. the S9+. In my opinion all modern flagships are good enough when lighting conditions are easy, but low light is where it matters. Macro is amazing but arguably a bit gimmicky, Zoom is a nice addition on vacations.
S10 has better screen, better UI, better support for Samsung peripherals like 360° cam and Smartwatches, can easily be rooted and flashed. Also gaming performance is better if you are into emulating Wii and PSP games.
I had an S10+ and broke it recently. I decided to get a P30 Pro dual sim and have no regrets. Aurora blue is an awesome looking phone!! I don't notice the screen resolution all that much, I don't play games so I don't need high res. The battery is a lot better on this phone. Went golfing this weekend and left phone in car, after 5 hours battery dropped 2%, my S10+ would have dropped at least 10-15%. One thing I really miss is Smart Lock. I can't find an equivalent on the P30. I think the camera is just as good as my S10+. Still not convinced on the USB headphones. I know the first trip on a plane I go on and watch a movie without being able to charge my phone while I have the headset on will probably bug me. Might have to use Bluetooth from now on. Also, what's with the Nano memory. You can't buy them anywhere other than Amazon. I ordered one but it said two weeks delivery. I hate proprietary devices!! Under screen fingerprint is the same on both phones, sometimes it works well, other times it fails. After using the P30 Pro over the weekend I think they are comparable phones and the P30 Pro was a LOT cheaper than the S10+. Bought the S10+ off Samsung site for $1700 CDN and the P30 Pro was $1199 CDN off Amazon.

Fixed Focus Front Camera

Hi guys, this phone is widely available now everywhere through eBay.
So my question for those who get it, how is the fixed focus front camera?
I think it's a big mistake doing fixed focus especially for the price and technology currently available.
But, I want to know how it performs and the depth of field it has before it looses focus (how close or far to your face).
Thanks!
you might wanna check Xperia 1 reviews since both devices have the same front camera
It doesn't look to bad, but I haven't tested it thoroughly yet.
Thank you guys.

I compared photos side by side with my Note 10 plus front camera and photos are comparable. The main issue with 1 ii front camera is low quality video calling in apps (such as Whatsapp, Duo etc) but seem to be a software problem so hopefully they fix soon.

That's kinda what I was wondering, no doubt the Sony camera software is tuned for it.
Low light is also an issue, even my note10+ feels worse than my note 9 with it's better aperture.
Then again none of this will matter when a fully working gcam port is figured out

Just switched form the note 10

Hi guys just switched from my note 10 plus and what a device this is :good:
So underrated from all the YouTube reviews ect
Just a couple of questions is there a way to make the torch brighter? It gets quite bright as a flash for the camera just quite dim as a torch
Is there mod to make Bluetooth audio a little bit louder as I've paired my galaxy buds up and although they sound great just could use a bit more volume
And is it possible to have the ringtone come from both speakers and loudspeaker from both speakers
Also have a iPhone 11 pro max as I ordered both phones and going to chose one and send the other back hopefully I'll make the right choice and keep the Xperia lol
You can change both with root

Is it still the same experience of loosing DRM keys and bravia engine and I think a few camera tweaks the lent we root or has all that gone and we can root without any comprimasing?
Because if so I'll root right away just don't like damaging non of the Sony software
Thanks

Well I have both in hand now and I can honestly say uli think the Xperia has the better display it doesn't get as bright but it's definitely better quality not only that the S20 has a yellow display no matter what I adjust its just not as blue in the sky's ect on videos on YouTube ect
The speaker sound better on the Xperia and it's the first time I'm trying high refresh rate and to be honest I'm not mind blowen yeh it's smother but sacrifice resolution which I'd rather have
Cameras hit and miss on both to be honest I'm not a pro so I'm shooting in auto on the Xperia SP don't know which is the best on that
But the S20 ultra is costing quite a bit more them my Xperia and it's not a lot better the the Xperia
Just wished the Xperia display got brighter
Oh man, there is always something, compromises... I had a 120hz phone in the past and the only thing it did was to drain battery. You can notice the difference is you scroll a pdf, but i had it disabled most of the time. Counting on the blur reduction feature to make things smoother. Anyway, thanks for the heads up, the one thing I like about sonys is design, and the notification light, jack is a plus, but not a deal breaker, cameras I wish they were better, like amazing good, but there is so much you can do without computational photography and a small sensor, so basically, I am covered with design alone. Curious about the galaxy fold though. Iphones seem very disappointing this year...

Biggest thing for me is how white the whites are on the Xperia compared to the S20 it's night and day if the Xperia would get just a few bits brighter I think it would be easily the best display out there
I had the xperia 1, and although it was on the dimmer side when in auto, it would go really bright outdoors, as long as you have it in auto. In manual the brightest wasnt enough for outdoor viewing . They do that to prevent extended max brightest from the user.

It's mainly when watching hdr videos just wish it went a bit brighter then otherwise outdoor visibility has been fine for me
Well I had the iPhone 11 pro max,S20 ultra,Xperia MK2
And I've decided to keep the Xperia so much better then the other two
So mush faster and smoother it's unreal (might be exynos on the S20)
The display,speakers,software,and dare I say cameras are just so much better on the Xperia
Only gripe just wished the display for a bit brighter and high refresh rate but apart from that definitely the better device in my opinion
Oh and the display callabration is asking on the Xperia the S20 looked yellow and no where near as nice considering its ment to be the best display on the market
Haha I had the S20+ exynos. What a disaster. Xperia 1ii is great

Sorry didn't get that. I have compared them side by side and so did some reviewers. Bottom line is in some scenarios Sony does better in some others Pixel. HDR mode is for sure better on Pixel so is quick point and shoot. Overall, 1 ii can take spectacular shots if you master photo pro

Pixel 4 doesn't even get close. Has worse display (except refresh rate), subpar build quality and mediocre camera. I admire it's camera though but that's about it

Im basing this on the 4XL and I have to disagree. Superior photos from the pixel for a few hundred £ cheaper than the Xperia 1 ii so I'm sending it back. I should of learnt lesson the from the Xperia 1.
After a day's use the screens just look the same but 90hz beats motion blur every time.
Build quality is fine on both, just different materials. Both have their own issues.

Haha I had the S20+ exynos. What a disaster. Xperia 1ii is great

Yeah - the Exynos is the reason i ditched Samsung upgrade programme this year and went Xperia.
What i've also noticed is how much nicer it is to have a much closer to google-native Android experience without Samsung duplicating every core app with their own and forcing you to use some of their services rather than what's delivered core.
