Camera takes horrible pics on Rog2

[yamvmax]

So Rog2 and z6 have same cam sensors, but pics on z6 are way better than the rog2. Hoping Asus can fix this, because the pics are terrible for having a very good sensor.

I never said that we're not going to improve. We will improve the camera performance on both phones simultaneously. Because the hardware in both phones are so similar, we can basically copy paste the software between them and this is why I'm telling you that there are no major differences.

I can take more comparison images with less light outside. I live in Sweden so we have a lot of night time this time of year 🙂

Thanks for such great response.. its just that i was a Xiaomi user earlier and was greatly tormented with their aftersale service ..and Rog 2 is currently my first Asus device... I just hope that this time i actually invested on something worth 🙂

I'm still waiting on more information before I reply to that question. This is why I haven't answered it yet. I spoke prematurely before I had all the info with the ZenFone 6 restart issue which created some confusion about the issue being a result of firmware update. This was not the case since the root cause was hardware. I know you want to know about the red tint and I will reply. I just need a little more time

Sir we don't think that there is any conspiracy its just the global variant users actually facing the issue where night mode captures blurry image ( i.e in auto mode ) .. the images you provided here are not fully night images ...

Daylight images on Rog 2 is superb but the night mode ones are very shaky .. See as a customer we can reach out to you guys and pls don't think that we intentionally spamming the forum... Its just the images aren't good at night thats all

Some firmware issue i guess or something

The blur in the night mode is the result of long shutter speed and long processing time. Put the phone on a fixed base and you will see much sharper images. As I wrote I got much better results in manual as I control shutter and Iso. But as a point and shoot camera the night mode definitely has a space for improvement. The most important thing is the hardware is there and it's very good in manual mode. For example with Filmic Pro video app results are amazing. Pity it cannot use wide angle lens to shoot video. In the video department also the stock app gives good results. I was filming a concert in 4K 60fps. Very demanding conditions with a lot of light changes, from total dark to highly lit hall filled with light of all sorts of colour temperatures. Results were really good. Not to mention the phone didn't glitch at all for the whole time, didn't heat up or had any issues processing. So the night video passed the test with flying colours.
Night photos I have been shooting always in pitch dark, always sitting on a same bench in a park, always at the same exact time trying some 20 apps from the Play store. There is a conflict between some apps and the phone. For example Camera FV5 app gives superb sharpness and colour interpretation (in daylight), but cannot use full resolution of the sensor, only 12Mp, and crashes when selecting raw format. Snap camera app gives better sharpness and less noise in night mode, but is extremely laggy in that particular mode. So there is a space for improvement in camera field, both with Asus and 3rd party developers. But the potential is definitely there.
As a manual camera in 48 MP mode I am much more satisfied with results from Rog 2 than with my Note 8.
