Which one do you recommend (camera, battery, screen, cpu vs)? But for me the most important is the camera performance. Please suggest one of them. I will open this thread both LG and Huawei forums. If this is forbidden, please remove one of them. Thank you in advance. Sorry for my bad english.

Well, we're going to say V30 because you have excellent stock camera or GCam port to choose from.
The Huawei guys are going to lie and say theirs is better.
Both phones are equal there's some small differences like headphone jack, resolution, no micro SD and CPU. Me personally I like different so Mate 10 for me. I have the V30 and the only thing that sucks is the selfie camera. for the mate 10 I don't like the monochrome camera I rather have the wide angle of the v30. Both UIs are not great to me I rather have stock.
I have Mate 10Pro, i am going to sell it as there is no custom ROMs, or if there are it is very easy to brick device. And wors of all there is no more bootloader unlocking ( my is unlocked ). Me too i want to change Mate 10 Pro, but what to buy V30+ Xiaomi mi mix2s or Mi8?
I had the mate 10 pro and loved it:battery is great and photos of objects/landscapes are really good too. I sent it back because photos of people looked like photos of wax statues.
I got the v30+ two weeks ago, there is root, custom roms, headphone jack and wireless charging. Also, having the wide angle camera is pretty cool.

Hi,
I would like to buy this phone. The camera quality is on the 1. place for me.
I have read many review but everybody is talking differently...
I currently own Gionee E7 with great 16MP OmniVision shooter and I am
really afraid to swap it...
So is that 21mp camera good or not comparing to etc. Samsug galaxy s6??
Could someone upload unedited photos somewhere?
How camera quality is related to ROM updates?
Thanks!
There's camera samples everywhere, the sony imx 230 is very good at daylight, but for low light it is very under saturated! Also pretty noisy.
I reccomend to buy LeMax2 if you aim to buy a powerful device at a relative low price.
Otherwise, if camera is your number one reason to buy a phone, you should skip this.
It has a good camera, and sometimes you can take really good shots with enough lighting, but comparison with Galaxy S6 and others top-of-the-line smartphones is unfair.
Moreover, ROM developers are struggling to get full functionality with the camera, unless they aren't original based ROMs, so you are limited to EUI as of now.
And to add something, LeMax2 sensor camera is the same as these devices:
LeTV One Max X900
Meizu PRO 6, PRO 5
Honor 7
Elephone Vowney, M3
Lenovo Vibe X3
Sony Xperia Z5, Z3+, M5
Motorola Moto X Force, Moto X Play, Moto X Style, Droid Turbo 2
Thank you Star_dust6 for great answer!
It seems I will skip this device because of camera...

You're welcome.
As for smartphones with a really good camera, you should aim for something like LG G5: is a little bit expensive (350 €), but worth every penny.
I am thinking to get a budget phone like Xiaomi redmi 4, or 4x or Lenovo P2. However I am not sure how is the camera quality in these phones against our g2.
Any feedback please?

go to gsmarena, put all 3 devices in compare and see the differences...
many if the newer devices have better camera than lg g2...
yesterday, my wife bought a Huawei Honor 7 Lite (or 5C) and it beats my old lg g2 camera by a mile... mainly because a much better sensor and lower\brighter f-stop lens (f2.0)...
and the price of that new Huawei was around 210$ (carrier free)... sure, it can be found even cheaper on the internet...
The camera of the G2 is much better than the camera found on the redmi note 3 pro. I guess that the camera on the other budget Xiaomi phones ain't gonna be special, either. In daylight you can't see much of a difference between the G2 and the Xiaomis, but in low light the G2 performs much better. To sum this up, you don't buy Xiaomis for their cameras. You won't be so disappointed but you won't be amazed either. You should think of other criteria before buying a new phone.
Hit thanks if I helped!

Well, a xiaomi ticks all my requirements, minus the camera performance. I think that camera has become so advanced in new phones that is difficult to neglect it.
Which phone under 300 usd has the best camera today?

https://www.kimovil.com/en/compare-smartphones/name.Mi5s (choose the one that meets your needs)
Take a look at the mi5s. It's in your budget if you buy it from China and it's probably one of the best Xiaomis out there. When it came out it had some problems with the fingerprint sensor performance, though. I don't know if it has been fixed. The Lenovo zuk z2 (pro) is also a good option.
Hey guys.
I have been a user of an LG G2 for the past three years and I must say it has served me amazingly well. It still functions awesomely but the wear and tear of the years is starting to become more apparent lately, so I'm thinking it's time for a new one.
Since I am not able to buy a flagship phone right now, I have to resort to a budget choice.
So what would be the best phone under 300€? I am based in Europe btw.
Currently I am in between the ZTE Axon 7 Mini, LG G5 SE, P8 Lite 2017, Honor 8 and Honor 6X, but any other suggestions will of course be appreciated.
Since the G2 is such an old phone, I can imagine that any one of these phones will feel like an upgrade in terms of performance, so what I value most right now is 1) the camera and 2) general build quality.
So basically, which is the overall best of the budget phones that has the best camera out of the bunch?
I'm leaning towards the Honor 6X because of its camera. What do you guys think?
Thanks in advance!

Well it's finally out and looks awesome but Is it worth the upgrade? Since it's an Android one phone, Will there be support for custom roms/large community base? Is it worth $234?
What's your opinion? Even though Ive had my note 4 for a month almost I'm intrigued to buy the mi a1

I don't think so. Because of different camera modules on A1.

Custom ROMs might not support the dual camera I guess. For example, that's how Lineage now works on dual camera of Huawei P9. Camera app just uses one camera of the two and that's it.
Good question actually. What the future of custom ROMs for dual camera devices?
Wondering if Google will add ability to swap navigation buttons. Having Back button on the right is a bit lame design.
I prefer back button on the right tbh. Although it's always good to have an option to change it.
I have used Chinese phones that long now it's in a normal place to me on the right.
Checked the device in MI exclusive showroom. Looks great but like a clone of OP5 from the back. I prefer the looks of my RN4. The portrait mode in camera was great even in indoor conditions (well lit) and the OS was snappy. But I don't think it will dethrone RN4 from the best selling mid-ranger category.
I googled everywhere, but can't seems to to find anything on it. Is it possible at all or not due to SoC?
I would highly doubt it, mainly because the pixel has 1 back camera and the mate has 3
Could still happen, other phones have more than one camera and have had it ported over, OnePlus 6, LG g6 etc etc but the only Thing that might be an issue it them. Phones have had snapdragon processors as opposed to Huawei Kirin.

Porting Google Camera is much easier from Snapdragon SoC to Snapdragon SoC, yet there are still issues on OnePlus phones cause of the different sensors. I'm afraid it would take someone in the knowledge and motivated to properly port GCam for Kirin, and then you have the problem of the multiple lenses, something GCam doesn't support natively. First and foremost Huawei should just significantly cut back denoising and some of the sharpening, or just offer the option. Otherwise stock camera app is well rounded (minus GCam's awesome photosphere).
Night Signt is what I am more interested in from the new Google cam.

You are absolutely right. Some tweaks from Huawei and the stock camera App is brilliant. There is no need fpr GCam on Huawei especially since Huawei started with those dedicated night modes.
The problem does not seem to be the SOC as Mate 10 pro has a perfectly usable GCam port but the P20 pro doesn't. The problem is with the IMX 600 on the P20 Pro and Mate 20 Pro as it enables pixel binding technology to capture HDR photos within the sensor itself rather than stacking different shots together. The pixel binding technology relays on the sensor to capture four pictures at once while other HDR technology only captures one photo at each shot. Oneplus uses the same technology on its secondary sensors so If there if any ports are working with the Oneplus's secondary sensor, then it might as well working on the Huawei devices. But If that's not the case, then it's not likely for us to get hands on any workable GCam shortly.
What a shame. imo the Mate 20 pro cam modules are really capable, but the software tends to screw up my images. I mean as mentioned, the sharpening, and the noise reduction is way over the top, and makes the images oilpaintings rather than actual pictures.

but you know, you can download this apk and its working perfectly
Also waiting for this :angel:
I tried many ports but nothing worked. Agree with Don.Chen's insight, I also found M20P compatible with some P20P's ports, but not the M10 ports. Miss GC's Portrait mode. Basically hardly any support for Kirin processors. Saw people mentioned Huawei's Camera API 2 is blocked, thus GC will not work for HDR+.
I hope some devs will turn and give it a try to mods gcam to work with our device

Is this from pixel 3?
At least it works . And it's real 40 MP photos with zoom.
I tried one of the gcam version but it didnt work correct, so I deleted it. But i have a feeling that after that my camera doesent work so good anymore, it doesent take so good pictures anymore. Do you think that something like that is possible, or it is just my feeling? I dont have any good pictures to compare between, so it is hard to prove.
No change in terms of quality here. I guess you could do a soft reset? Has anyone found a port for wide angle support? Thanks
