Cheers mate thanks for the uploads. Do you have another high end phone for comparison shots?
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app
Compared to SGS3, pictures sharpness is very bad in normal conditions. Videos also have no sharpness if you compare to Nexus 4 which has not a good camera reputation. Why is that? it seems to be a software problem rather than hardware...
Can somebody explain?
I would really buy a Lumia 920 but normal conditions pictures stop me... will it be updated?
I finally got around to uploading to youtube. After we got the Build version of the Lumia 920 in Seattle, I did a little filming at one of the parties one night. Lets just say, I'm really impressed with both the video and the audio quality when recording.

pretty good!!
Maybe it's just me but I got a little dizzy watching this video. It felt like the camera struggled to maintain focus.
Please check out the video I took with my 920, tell me your opinions and if you really want. request a review of the 920 Thank you all, I traded my nexus 4 in for this bad boy.
Not only the quality and focus test of videos but I want some photo tests too. If you could put photo/video raw files on Internet and let us download, it could be the best review.
I'm considering to get a 920 later but all photo/video reviews are almost resized on net, can't see the 100% quality out.
Dear friends,
On the official LG web site they say the LG V30 have:
1. 10-bit HDR Image Sensor – captures up to 211% more colors for improved accuracy. - ( I read tha article that LG have just 8 bit. And if they have 10 bit how they have bad photos, dynamic range.)
2. OIS+2.0 and EIS. (No one on YouTube says they have EIS, and if they have the EIS is not turn on??? Did we need tivwait update?)
3. Slow-Motion Video Recording – 1280 x 720 resolution, 240 FPS ( They are several YouTubers and web site that they say that LGV30 have just 120fps)
4. Steady Record 2.0 – record smoother, clearer videos on the move. (No one confirm this of users)
I don't have device, but I didn't find all of this things in any review of LG V30. Did LG lie? Or this is still beta software and we need to wait all of this?
Thx a lot for your answers and sorry for bad English :/

I don't understand this question. All the reviewers say this f/1.6 rear camera is great and all the pictures I have seen in this forum are fantastic.

Dear friend,
If you look at LG official web site, the 10 bit HDR photos have fantastic and much more color then former 8 bits HDR photos. But when you took photo with V30 a landscape mode where is buildings you will see the building but the behind of building will be all white, they are no a blue sky. Just look the photos dynamic range is very bad. Bur they promise very good HDR with 10 bits. And other things what i wrote i didn't see in V30.

That's because those stock photos are probably taken on a medium format and NOT a V30. Or a ton of expensive equipment with the V30.

Steady Record 2.0 is the same as EIS, when you turn Steady Record on in settings you turn on EIS. And guys on Youtube typically just post videos but they don't tell much if it was shot with Steady Record enabled or with Steady Record disabled. Hence we don't see if enabling EIS have much effect on stabilization. Even in this video it is unknown whether it was shoot with EIS on

1) Dynamic Range and "color range" (not what it is really called but we'll go with it as it's an easier term to relate to) capture are two different things. Dynamic range in simplest terms is how much detail can you capture between complete black and complete white. You will see people get really pissy if they can't get every detail in a bright sunlit cloud AND the back of a cave in the same shot.
The 211% increase in color capture is actually found in the spaces between colors. So instead of just capturing red, yellow, and blue, the increase color capture would be red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple. Or if you wanted to get even more specific, instead of capturing just green, you get forest green, kelly green, British racing green, acid green, moss green, lichen, chartreuse, etc.
2) OIS seems to be always on and I really wish we had a switch to turn it off and on like on my lenses but that doesn't seem to be in the cards. EIS, as stated before, is Steady Record which does seem to have a switch in 1080 resolution. I haven't had a chance to play with it as much as I'd like but after watching a video earlier this week I might play with these two more. I was trying to figure out why my 1080 video didn't look stabilized compared to my 4k video. After watching some video somewhere, it turns out the OIS and EIS might be fighting each other. That's in video.
Also, in extremely loud environments I've noticed that either OIS or I am being moved a lot by stuff like a heavy beat coming out of speaker right next to me. Like I said, I need to play with the video more. I've shooting stills for a few decades and have a handle on that. I only tackle video once in a great while and really need to sit down and invest more time into learning it.
3) Slow motion. If you go into the manual video mode and pick out your video resolution to 720 and pick your frame rate, the highest you will get is 120fps. If you go into camera modes and pick the slo-mo option, that's where the 240fps resides. You can test this out by recording a video in manual set to 720p/120fps then another in just the slo-mo mode.
4) See #2, I'm still trying to wrap my head around what all is going on here.
Your friends are never going to believe what you did. The only way to prove it to them is with that video you took. Rate this thread to express how videos shot on the Xiaomi Mi A2 come out. A higher rating indicates that videos are smooth (and not choppy) and that auto-focus works very well, and that the camera adjusts quickly to different lighting conditions while recording.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
The 4K video looks good, but the catch is there is no EIS support for it.
Even though 1080p/60 or 1080p/30 do support EIS, the video quality is not as good (and looks unrealistic) as recording in 4K.
There are two samples over at GSMArena Mi A2's review, watch two of them in 1080p and you can see the clear difference.
This also happened in Mi A1, which is quite surprising. But it does not happened in other Xiaomi phone like Pocophone F1 and Mi 8.
Tried increasing the bitrate of 1080p video to 40Mbps but no clear result.
You can stabilize the 4K video using the Google Photos app so it's no biggie
If you are on stock rom without root or somekind mod like camera2 api, you can use Open Camera to enable 4K EIS and it is fantastic. Here is sample from youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RZXy5sdevXE
If you have enabled camera2 api to use google camera port, than you lose 4k video recording option i open camera, and you need to use Snap Camera.
So you can have 4K eis, and it is working really good, do not need to use google photos stabilization because it produces wobbly picture sometimes. Even better use eis and than apply google photos stabilization after for rock steady video
Is it only me or it's common - when record the video, it's not as wide as when making photo. The ratio is the same BTW.

Yes, this is the case.
As you know, Mi A2 doesn't offer Optical Image Stabilization, but just Electronic Image Stabilization/ EIS.
The concept of EIS revolves around stabilizing by using the cropped out parts as buffers so that the visible window is less prone to shake. However, if the pixels themselves are blurred, EIS can not do a lot. This is why EIS is bad at low light conditions.
