Has anyone noticed that their pictures have a blueish tint to them in low light shots? I think T-Mobile calibrated their lenses differently than AT&T G3's. The difference in picture color is very noticeable. Every TMO G3 I've tried looks exactly the same which is blueish. I had my TMO G3 exchanged because of it and the new one is exactly the same. The store models were the same also. I took the same picture with the front facing camera and you can see the difference there also. It's not as noticeable in bright light or outdoors. They look ok when taken there. I honestly think it's the way the lens or app is calibrated. I think the carriers mess with the software. I also noticed that the color of the Messaging app is lighter in the TMO G3 than the ATT G3. It's more of a pastel yellow instead of the brighter orange. I've also tested that on several different G3's of each version.
I attached one from the AT&T G3 and 2 from the TMO G3 (Front facing and rear):
P.S. I took the media_profile.xml, camera_profile.xml (I think that's what it's called), and media_codecs.xml from the ATT G3 and copied them to the TMO G3 and it didn't make a difference. Does anyone know if maybe this is an ISO or other setting that isn't set right? If so, what file in the system controls that? The LG camera doesn't have those manual options.

Interesting. I have noticed the blue tint on my G3 in low light with the rear camera. It takes a LOT of warmth adjustments to make it disappear, but it can be corrected. I didn't think there was a difference between carrier versions. Ours seems to be pretty bad at white balance adjustment.

How did you adjust it?
Whitebalance is very good on mine in all different conditions. Still looks great on my calibrated IPS monitors.
I use that Camera 2 app and my pictures turn out just fine.

I don't wanna use a different camera app. The laser focus only works with that. There must be a file to change white balance somewhere.
I'm experiencing the same issue. I would hope that an LG update would resolve this, but I bet XDA developers can beat them to the fix

Check the pictures in the OP. My bathroom light is on.
I saw the OP but i can't tell how much lighting from thw photos. I guess i have too many bright lights in my house to see. The only time i saw that kind of blue was my Moto Droid 3 regardless of lighting conditions.

I think it's the way the app is calibrated because for a split second when I open the app, it looks like the picture of the ATT one and then changes to that blue tint.

Do you use the flash in low light? I don't, and this is when I get white balance issues. Maybe that's the problem, the camera is calibrated to work with a flash, or, it's not properly calibrated for no flash in low light.

I never use flash unless absolutely needed. No flash.
Mine is little yellowish too on low light.
It looks like your bathroom "Blueish" photo was shot under fluorescent lighting? Fluorescent bulbs put out almost all blue frequencies of light. See if it does the same thing outdoors under low natural light, or indoors using incandescent (old school bulb) lighting. Incandescent lighting is mostly red. This is one of the reasons I always use a real Canon camera if I want to take decent indoor shots. I have 4 Canon cameras. Does your camera app have adjustments to set the lighting type like a real camera does? I think even my Samdung S4 has settings for incandescent, fluorescent, and all that.

The same pic was taken with an AT&T G3 and it looked fine. LG removed all manual options to adjust settings =/.

Well that stinks. If you can't adjust settings you are stuck, or need a new app. Or do what I did and use a camera for a camera, and a phone for a phone... I will concede using tablet as a phone, but a camera is still a camera if you want good photos all the time. I got my 8 year old son a Canon Elph 135 at Target for $99 and it's good to go indoors or outside..

I have Jishnu looking at the apk now.
I think it takes incredible outdoor pictures. Its the indoor low light ones that aren't that great.

I noticed that when I turn off HDR in low light, the quality of the photo improves dramatically. Less static and more true to the real colors.

Here are examples of indoor low light. One with HDR Auto and one with HDR Off.
It makes a huge difference.

HDR Off
You're beautiful and everyone knows it. That's why you take selfies. Rate this thread to express how the front-facing camera of the Samsung Galaxy Note 7 performs. A higher rating indicates that the front camera produces fantastic results consistently.

Horrible amount of lens distortion

And before complaining, I'm assuming you've turned on the big "remove lens distortion" option, correct?
Just posted about this in another thread. Arm stretched out, the pics look great. But up close it's the most distorted and disturbing image ever. HORRIBLE implementation by Samsung.

Its called Shape Correction. Well at least that's what it is called on my Sprint variant.
worst selfie camera ever with the distortion, lack of sharpness, and terrible quality
shape correction is off by default on Sprint version
I broke the camera when I took a selfie No seriously, stop taking selfies, look in a mirror
My camera is broken. It makes me look too good.
Not a sharp/crisp image at all. No idea what the auto focus is looking at but it's not me. I tried turning off HDR, all the effects, etc and just never could get anything NEAR as clean as what my 6P produces with great consistency.
Check out this side by side. The difference is staggering. 6P is not as bright but way too much post processing being done.

I noticed front camera photos are blur when I take selfie at the extend of hand! If I take close selfie, it's not. But if subjects are far(as long as hand length), the photo is totally blur.
any solution for this? I used open camera and camera FV but results are same.
How to make Samsung hear our voice to fix this?
By the way, I have Huawei nova which doesn't have front camera auto focus but photos aren't blur at all.
Hello, I have the same problem. When focusing before taking the photo, is focused. But when you take it, it goes out of focus. Focusing on objects in front of the face.
I'm selling my A5 as its front camera is totally useless. All photos I take, unless I'm close to camera, are blur! I'm now using my Huawei Nova which has similar specs. It even has no focus in front camera but photos are clear crystal.
Guys, I tried contacting Samsung on their .eu website and got a very funny reply:

Try to use the screen flash when taking a selfie. I've tried it on my a5 2017

I don't have this problem, I used the front cam to take the below image from a distance in low light and it is perfectly ok, I think you need to send your phone to Samsung to fix.

Has Samsung solved this problem yet?
Yes i have this problem
It take to crazy !!
Any fix ! Hobe to fix
The camera is not bad. Well. If you want focus, use the rear camera. In the good lighting conditions the front 16mpX is awesome for selfies.

I admire Samasung's OLED and AOD (Always On Display) features among other good features like using reversible USB, bringing Nougat to A* 2017 series.
@alirezaircn
I have a few questions:
Have you ever heard about front camera focus problem on other A* 2017 phones like A7 2017 or A3 2017?
As a customer who experienced super clear very beautiful vivid colors on A5 2017, how much worse is Huawei Nova LCD screen rather than A5 2017?
Has Huawei provided Nougat update for Nova?
Thanks in advance
I noticed that too. So much for being a 16mp shooter. Everything I tried to shoot is always getting blurred. Feels like im using a vga camera with a little bit of light. Lmao

[/COLOR]Damn I thought it was my problem that every time the photo is blurry so it was the phone issue I recently buied that phone & it was really awesome until I found this issue should we approach service centre for that issue or wait for the updates???
The problem in this phone is that the front camera's depth-of-field is very low. If you dont know, most selfies have friends behind us. And your camera makes them all blur. Poor customers think it is their fault. They don't know Samsung engineers have done a bad job. So sad that This issue cannot be even fixed. The front camera of even chinese phones is awesome. No one is blurred even if they stand 5 ft away from my face. I had previously samsung S4 mini, j5 2015, music duos 6012, mega 5.8 and wanted to be a loyal customer to samsung. Now I don't trust and dont wanna recommend to my friends or others in future. Im so sad because of this retarded front camera
even my j7 pro 2017 has bad front camera.

my j7 pro 2017 always get out of focus image when we try to take group selfies. probably due to depth of the field issue
Has it been proven that Mate 20X have identical camera performance to Mate 20 PRO ?
Why I am asking is cause the camera on 20X does surprise me in bad way, biggest problem compared to the Vivo Nex is the exposure is way too bright
in darker scenes, but also very high noise levels I am surprised that this was supposed to be the best camera for android...
So that is why I am wondering have any one done a side by side comparison ? While they are the same on paper there could still be software differences that **** things up
Having owned the 20pro and then moving to the 20x i can confirm the cameras are the same. Personally I prefer the 20x as a phone/media consumption device.
Personally I don't find the cameras too bad. But I do hate the camera app. It's not intuitive. If I want to switch from 40mp to wide or zoom I have to mess with the settings and what I'm wanting to photograph has normally moved or gone by then.
I had a 20 pro and now a 20x. I can confirm the camera performance is the same.
That said, I don't find the cameras as good as the pixel 3 or even P20 Pro. Shots in good lighting look washed out, and indoor/low light shots don't properly use HDR so they always look soft. Properly functioning auto-HDR would fix one of these issues
I have the feeling the camera in my HN10 is nearly
nearly as good in my M20X, but specs say M20X is best.
The hyped cameras were one of the reasons I got this phone. The 20x is a great phone and I enjoy using it. but the camera is nowhere near as good as the adverts show.
It beat all the others in the blind camera comparison test on YouTube, so it must be doing something right!
Anyone getting blurred video in the Wide Angle mode?
On the Mate 20 X EVR-L29

I dont understand what samsung did with sport mode. Any little movement on subject( kids, babys, cats, dogs move) and pictures are blurry. I remember that old samsung samsung phone was able to capture good moving pictures. My wife jump and i cut her in air. Now with mighty note 10 + camera every picture i shoot in movement is blurry. The 12 mp camera 5 years perfect camera is a joke compare to huawei p30 pro or other phone with bigger senzor.
Also low light portrait result are blurry and disapointed result. In low light or indoor live focus cant be used. Samsung need to improve drastically at this points. Pro mode did not solve that eather no matter what settings i used. I dont understand why they remove sport mode. Any good tips how to capture moving object with note 10+. Dont get me wrong. The camera is best in good light but verry disapointed at shown points.

Main reason my wife sold her s10 plus and bought a Pixel. Strictly for the camera.
I am so glad that I am not the only one with this complaint with 10+. My grandson takes a step..blurry. If he moves his head blurry

Hey man, I feel you there. This annoyed me as well at some point, so I got the Mate 30 Pro instead. It is unacceptable to try and take 10 photos of moving people, and all come out blurry.
You could go into settings and then ad motion to the photo then extract what you want from it
