Is the loud speaker stereo or mono ? Is it good enough (compared to moto x style // my current phone)
Also, is camera really bad as reviews are suggesting (typically interested in knowing about low lit photography)
speaker
I would say it's somewhere between comparable, and slightly quieter. To be fair, it's one speaker compared to two.
The camera is really good.

Thanks for the photo, it looks bit overstaured to me ,,, may be its just my eyes but I think with with some apps this can be tackled... Can you please share a low lit photo or night photo if you don't mind ?

It looks like that due to the HDR mode.
Low light.

Can anyone with the phone take some photos indoors at night with a normal room light on (no flash) so we can see what the gain/noise is like?
maybe a comparison with a different phone or digital camera (no flash)?
Interested to see if it's good in low light
cheers
anyone?

Two photos, more or less the same position in a messy office.
One with lights on full, one with lights dimmed right down.
cheers, the low light one is awful, lots of grain and noise
so much noise that i almost couldn't hear myself!
Underexposed too, really not great.
Tempted to borrow a colleague's iPhone4 for comparison shots but I'm not sure I want to risk the wrath... ;-)

worth knowing though I think..
they are publicising it as good in low light
Hi all,
Quick question about the quality of images on my HOX.
They are absolutely terrible, for a HOX, especially when one of their major selling points was the apparantly, amazing camera?
The quality of images out doors, is acceptable, but again for a camera such as the HOX I think they should be better.
But indoors, they are almost un-viewable they are that bad.
Im no camera expert, and don't know much about what to do to produce a good image.
Has anyone else experienced terrible HOX images?
Is their anything I can do to improve the quality of the images?
Thanks all !
In my experience indoor performance of the One X camera is as good if not better than other well regarded smart phones out there. I have personally compared indoor performance against the Galaxy S3 and the iPhone 4S; picture quality in most cases turned out to be better than 4S and on par with S3. However, having said that, don’t expect the quality of a DSLR or even a cheap point n shoot compact camera.
What exactly is the problem with your indoor photos? Are they too dark, noisy or blurry? When taking photos indoors try to hold the phone as stable as you can, because under low light conditions the shutter stays open longer to take in more light, this causes even the slightest movement to make your photo very blurry.

Hi, thanks for the reply.
I compared with the S3, and the HOX looked like a disposable camera compared to the S3.
Indoors they look very pixlated and blurry as you said.
I hold it as steady as my hands allow me.
Im not sure what noise etc is.
Thanks for the reply mate, is there anything I can do to improve?

Same issue here on my gf's htc one x.
Blurry pictures. Setting iso to 800 manualy helps a bit but still not like my note 2.
And the low light setting I have been reading about is night setting I presume?
My note 2 has a low light setting and with it you make awesome pictures.
Doesn't work like this on one x.
Real shame because outdoor pictures are great.
If you advertise with it make it f***** work.
Focus is wierd to. Note 2 flashes long for focus then again short and adjusted during the shot.
The htc focusses in darkness then flashes and takes the shot.....no wonder they're out of focus.
Anyway we are not happy. Especially when we heard they don't take it back.
Now she's stuck with a crappy indoor phone camera for 2 years.
Htc better update on this issue quick

Same here, gutted.
Can't understand how they can advertise a man jumping out of a plane with it, and getting focused stunning shots, but yet us trying to take a picture of a dog in our bedrooms is not stable enough and comes out blurry.
Yet again, HTC successfully blags its consumer base.
Anything we can do?!

I called with htc customer service and they said if enough complaints come in that they'll update on the issue.
So report it and hope for the best
Edit: I had mine replaced with a galaxy s3.
Better flash, more functions ( that actualy work and do what they should do. )
Very sharp indoor pictures.
With flash is perfect but without and low light mode is perfect too.
I'm just gonna stick to samsung phones from now on.
Save myself the trouble of going through countless discussions with htc and customer service to replace a phone.

What's everyone's experiences with the Z1 compact's camera/camcorder in lowlight?
Curious about club and concert type enivironments...

automatic mode, flash off (to avoid any bleeding as described elsewhere), thumbnails are linked to the original files
Oh my these are amazing.
Did you have trouble focussing at all? I found that with my Nexus 5, the camera couldn't focus for **** in low light, and because of that, I had to snap multiples to get a good shot.
One last thing, how was audio recording on the camcorder? Just wondering if the bass is also crackly.
No problems with the focus, light was apparently bright enough.
And the video sound came out quite crackly as expected - smartphone mics are not designed for these peaks. And believe me, it was LOUD.

Amazing indeed, I have got to try some nighttime shots one of these days.
Nice shots. I'm really a bit worried about low light photos especially when the flash bleed issue was discovered. I know that smartphones were never really meant for low light photography (for now). Looks like a Z1 Compact will be a good back up during concerts when my zoom camera runs out of memory or battery - decent low light performance + good digital zoom.
My Nexus 4 is almost useless on night outs and concerts - occasions that I take pictures most and very seldom bother to bring a proper cam.
Shared your post to the photography thread.
At the club, at the bar, or just in your mom's basement, nighttime is when you come out to play. Rate this thread to express how the LG G5's camera performs when no or low light is present. A higher rating indicates that the camera sensor "sees" lots of light in dim conditions, and that the resulting photos have minimal noise. A higher rating also indicates that when the flash fires, the resulting photo is evenly-lit without any bright spots.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
A Bit too Dim
In low light the phone is a bit too dim with auto settings. Similar to the G3.
Missed a chance for a great camera to be amazing!
Ita reliable, fairly stable and of good quality.

a little bit too noisy and green toned when you take a picture in low light condition or in night with artificial light (like yellow street light)
but in manual mode you can set properly the setting (especially the ISO) to remove the noise problem or the green light factor.
Hum maybe we can take pics and post them here but only low light pics

Hi, just sharing as someone asked. It wasn't meant to be a nice image, just a low light example. There are a lot of details and I think it did a good job. Photo is handheld, no flash, auto, main camera.
Note: the acene is actually a bit darker than represented in the photo.

Can you recommend the settings to use? I am new with this phone and have a concert on Wednesday to goto and I would like to get good pics. On my htc one m8 I was able to keep the camera on iso400 and the pics were alright.

depends,
it's manual,
each situation has its own specific settings,
you should study a bit about photography, i'll help you but the guides I know are all in Italian,
alternatively ask someone you know some information, nowadays there are a lot of skilled photographers.

good idea
Was at the Primal Fear show last night at the mod club in Toronto Canada and zoomed in pics all look like garbage... . Worse than my old HTC one m8. The videos fared a bit better once I got the focus to work, but still aren't perfect, the sound didn't turn out great, must have been way too loud for the phone in its life proof case.

Make sure you lens is clean. I keep a cleaning cloth with me all the time. It really makes a HUGE difference.

No it doesn't make a difference in quality.
The fact that your phone is in a case doesnt dismiss you from cleaning some glass. Convert smudges makes photos look pretty bad.
Edit: wait.. Which camera accessory? If camera module then no.
The low light performance is alright on Auto mode but if you know how to take picture on Manual mode then it's a lot better especially with a tiny touch of Snapseed for sharing.
I had to change the camera because the OEM camera began to malfunction with it's zooming. I think it's ok now as the replacement was supposed to be OEM.
Need normal lighting for photos only and autofocus want quickly
Lotta noise in low light-very disappointing, but yes, has good details and yes, clean the camera glass often, it really makes a difference.
Very bad quality, the fault is in lg camera app. With Gcamera the quality is very good, but with this app I cannot save in sd only in internal

Except you can save to the sd card and the app itself is decent. Quality too (although it varies from really bad to good)

you can save in sdcard with Gcam? I know with lg's camera app you can do that, but I don't use it anymore. It's like the internet explorer in g5.
Help
Hi Guys any help regarding google camera in low light i'm seeing this artifacts even while i'm taking some
pictures using google cam in low light i can see this artifacts also at Messenger/IG at rear cam
btw im using LGG5 H830 or maybe this is a hardware issue?
Hey, Mix 2 is going on sale tomorrow in India and at the last moment I'm confused whether to buy it or not. The main concerns being camera performance, the sound quality and the display. Help me out please:
Display: After rooting is anyone able to get videos from youtube and other sites running full screen (i.e. 18:9)?
Also do you feel the absence of AMOLED screen of QHD?
Camera: I've heard from multiple sources that even though the camera sensor is same as in g6, it doesn't fair as well because of software drawbacks. Has anyone tried the google camera port to find any improvements in camera quality?
Sound: Is it decent enough for watching movies with another person?
The Screen is bright and has nice colors.
I do not notice that Landscape video is "letterboxed". Having com from phones with large top and bottom bezels, a little extra black space on the sides disappears.
Sound is a little low, but good quality from the speakers. No problems if you connect a BT speaker.

What about the camera? I heard picture quality isn't great because of software drawbacks. Is it so? Could you try the new google camera v5.1 for any improvements?

I do not notice any difference in the camera and with my former phone, a Nexus 6P. Supposedly the Google HDR+ camera port improves the quality, but I have not bothered yet.
