Although I just downloaded the new December 20th 2019 update for the Zenfone 6, some preliminary camera results show improvement in low light scenarios!
I don't suggest buying the zenfone6. I have the 5. It was working fine until I updated it at their request of course, and now its continually shutting down. My volume is low now and the icon takes up 1/4 of my screen when I use volume, it gave me an outdated keyboard with older emojis, and all my apos close out suddenly, i have to clean each app one at a time, I used to clean cache with one click. So many things went wrong with that update. Was hoping it would work again but its not. I made sure i wasn't missing any updates (but thats what caused the issues. A lot of unhappy zenfone5 users who've been dealing with this for longer because I kept putting off the update because of time and my battery. Im not buying another asus either if thats what this is about (getting us to run out and buy the newer model) I don't think so. Its not much more to go look for an iPhone.. oh yeah, and it really messed up my camera. I used it regularly. Now it won't focus..
The notch settings are gone. Shared in an asus article about my phone. With the new update my settings shrunk A LOT! So im missing a lot of features i used to have..
Eh have an issue on your phone ? Make a seperate thread about it
Why are you hijacking the photo thread meant for Zenfone 6 ?
I'm not sidelining your issue it's just that phones are machines and they sometimes fail... it may be a hardware issue or sometimes software, just get your phone to a service centre
What's the point in spreading hate about a phone?
It's not like everyone's gonna sell their existing Asus phones on your lead lol
You had your experience we have ours and mine has been positive so far ?
No manufacturer has 100% satisfied customers there always are a few salty experiences but that doesn't mean it will affect everyone's experience with the phone/brand
Here is a long exposure shot from my office window.
ISO 50, Shutter 10sec.
A bit of edit in Snapseed. Honestly, I am very happy with sensor and stock camera. The pixels are crisp. If it was not dirty window.. this would have been DSLR quality.
Not a filter but there a bit of ND filter effect due to glass window. But still it could be done at 7 sec without glass.
You need to find dark place where only light trails are available so that you can bump up the exposure time. Before this I tried light trails on busy street with lots of street lamps. I couldn't go over 2sec.

Can you guys post images with Asus watermark, cuz I seriously can't believe that these shots were taken on this phone. Except the gcam modded ones.

Don't laugh at my empty Christmas Tree, but these night shots in indoor conditions are coming out MUCH nicer after the December 20 2019 update!! ??
Thank you, Team Asus!! This has been a great holiday gift!

Amazing sunset, no filter!
I never impressed by more MP game. The 48Mp camera hardly give me good images.
However, this particular picture, I shot my LED Tv at ISO50. Look at individual pixel of LED seen and how colors are made.

How did you take this ? Even when I do an ISO 25 shutter 5s the image is completely white washed. Are you using any filter? @MrHornet

Gotcha !! @MrHornet . Thanks a lot.
