I am using S8 plus right now but i would like to trade my phone for a Huawei P10 plus.

May I know will P10 plus offers me better photo under low light condition like at a restaurant under dim light or take the neon light scene in Tokyo after dawn ?

Please kindly shed me some light.'

Many thanks in advance.

P10 has been out for a while now, why not consider the p20pro?

As for low light, the pixel series phone cameras are pretty hard to beat.

Which is the current best smartphone for photography? The Huawei P20 Pro or Google Pixel? (Disregard Samsung or Apple at the moment).

I currently have the LG V20 and find the camera to be not very good. Photos come up a bit blurry and soft with visible noise even in daylight. I miss my Nokia Pureview 808 and wished the camera of the 808 to be inside the LG V20 (the camera of the 808 has gone kaput since last year).

thats a tough one, but I prefer the pixel processing, looks more natural.

I've been looking at photos of the P20 Pro and Pixel 2 for some time now. In low light, the P20 Pro produces higher image quality than the Pixel 2 to me, better clarity and lower noise.

Panasonic CM1 will be the best low light camera phone. But it's kinda old, circa end of 2014 and it comes with Android 5.0. Still usable though.

yes, CM1 is excellent in low light, just wish they'd given it a Xenon flash, instead of useless LED.

uncorrectable red-eye would be the result of having a xenon flash too close to the lens, as demonstrated by phones like 808

If you use 3rd party apps, or use raw , you can get better results with your LG V20. Someone posted some comparisons between LG G4 raw processed and Pixel 2 daylight shots. The conclusion I believe was that they were about the same in terms of overall quality....in good light. The V20 uses the same sensor as LG G4, G5, V10, V20.

I believe the same user posted some LG G4 shots using an app called Cortex Camera, which is well-known around here. For static scenes, in low light this combo is also competes with Pixel 2 etc etc. In most cases, Pixel 2 will give better results, because it is optimized for speed and dynamic range, and certain type of scenery all with the stock apps.

Thanks for the information. I'll try the Cortex camera some time. Read about some bugs with the Android version of the app.

On the odd occasion (not all low light scenes have people in) that there is red eye, any number of editing tools can remove it, the benefits of Xenon far out weigh the odd red eye...

it's a benefit except when the scene with people in it is the main reason for using the flash, and same shots taken with an LED flash don't have the problem of uncorrectable red-eye.

I'll take Xenon freezing movement over blurry people from LED any day...

except that's a false dichotomy, though. xenon on 808 produces blurry photos when it selects a slower shutter speed than a CM1 on force flash and shutter priority, which captures the low light action without creating any red-eye effect.

never seen the 808 select a shutter speed to slow for Xenon...
than a CM1
why always bring in the CM1, we are talking LED in general not camera specific...
on force flash and shutter priority
why? I guarantee you at 1/20 of a second the Xenon shot will be sharp and the CM1 shot will be blurred in terms of movement. Again you make statements without evidence where review after review of the 808 show evidence of how the xenon freezes movement while LED just fails EVERYTIME!!
, which captures the low light action without creating any red-eye effect.
in your opinion, but in practice I've never had a blurry photo due to the Xenon on my 808.

that's something a person who never owned both a CM1 and 808 would think, but fortunately those who own both can educate others about the use of shutter priority to freeze action, while using the LED flash which does not cause uncorrectable red-eye.

but often enough the red-eye caused by a xenon flash on 808 is uncorrectable.

show us the evidence with EXIF of a 808 not freezing movement... owning one or the other doesn't change the way Xenon flashes work.
but fortunately those who own both can educate others about the use of shutter priority to freeze action, while using the LED flash which does not cause uncorrectable red-eye.
Show us a photo where an LED flashes freezes movement...

In any mode the 808 has never given me a blurry photo with the Xenon!

not for me, I've managed to fix it. and not every low light photo has people in it looking at the camera.

you can easily demonstrate that for yourself, take flash photography of actively moving people at night.

no one said LED flash freezes movement. once again, the use of shutter priority to freeze action, while using an LED flash *that does not cause uncorrectable red-eye*

exactly. not every, but often enough.
