However today, i had a spare time and it only took a couple minutes to see what everyone are talking about.
I already had taken some indoor photos and i noticed the high noise in darker areas but i went outside and i couldn't believe on what i was looking at. Slightly blured photos (like a shaken photo) and no detail at all, it looked like a watercolour painting. On some photos, darker areas were pinkish, something that i complained before in Pro mode on long exposures but never noticed it in any other mode.
However, i don't know if it's related or not but the few Gcam versions that works, aren't much better neither. Still a little better than stock app but really really worse than before. I'm not sure if they aren't already optimized or somehow related with the stock app bad quality. I don't know how Gcam works but what if the main issue isn't the stock APP itself but something behind it that makes Gcam works so bad also?
Sorry Asus, but i can't accept this quality from €500 device. One of the things that made me buy this phone was his night photo quality and now it takes worse photos than my old device?
I know you are looking at the problem already but i become frightened when i read that the differences you found aren't considerable. They are. If you didn't tested yet at night, outside, please do it. Theres were i found the major differences, not indoor.
I don't a have photo took in Android 9 under the same circunstances in this same places but please look at this photo. This isn't acceptable at all.
doublem101I assume this is taken with Night Mode? Or?I've been reading all the posts about the bad photo quality on Android 10 but honestly i didn't had the chance to test it in detail before.

Today i took some shots at night and i confirm. The result is a disaster now in Android 10
And every photo is like this with night mode (now I dont mean every photo of the same scene, just every photo in a variety of scenes) ? Or is it that some photos come out worse than expected?
Yes the photo was taken with Night Mode on, handled.
I didn't take many photos but the ones i took gave me the same result. They seemed washed out with no details like they were submited to a really high compression.
But the funny thing i found later, it seems this issue isn't present in "tripod" mode. I think it isn't as good as before but cleary a lot better than handled mode.
Before the update, i think there were some differences between handled and tripod mode but most about the "clarity" of the photo. Now, how you can see, both seems like were taken with two different devices. The difference in details/textures is huge when zooming in. First was taken handled, second, tripod mode. In handled mode, every detail is gone and the photo is washed out.
