Zenfone 9 is here and as many of you probably have seen, we got some pretty impressive cameras this time around!
So I propose a thread with some of our best pictures, the pics I will upload are taken by normal average people and without any enhancements.

The picture above was taken with the camera's Light trail mode by a waterfall.

I agree. I like the exposure very much, but oversharpening is clearly visible on the treeline. I do like the road surface though.

I dont its very blurry due to very strong noise reduction. Try to view the image on PC, youll cringe.

No word from Asus.
They've got our money and ran.
I'm selling this phone and never buying Asus again. Pixel 6a is half the price and takes better pictures.

To be fair, pixel is very photo centric, the pixel has much worse display, performance, speakers and so on. its cheaper for a reason, not saying its a bad phone, it's a fantastic one, however you do get less performance. If you only do casual stuff like takin pictures, snapchat, messenger and so on, its sufficient, however once u do more than that it becomes very underwhelming compared to the ZF9.

I've been viewing it from a 120" screen and I still like the road surface. Granted, it does get blurry on the darker parts (where the front lights are not showing) but that doesn't bother me.

The Lighttrail feature in the Asus Cam is really cool. I would apprechiate a little flatter image to begin with since the contrast of the resulting images is very high but I really like the feature.

As for the Update in my opinion it moved the resulting images a step closer towards GCam, still a tad more sharpening with Asus. And Google does a better job with noise.
But we have to keep in mind Google is a multi billion dollar global company and Asus is not. So I also want to add that I appreciate the work they are doing here. If they keep improving the Software further I still see us getting better photos.
The Zenfone 9 is not a photography centered phone and there’s only so much you can do with the IMX766.
I recently looked at 50MP iPhone 14 Pro Raws and the difference is staggering. So anyone looking for peak photo performance should look into this phone—but I assume there’s a reason we’re not in an Apple Forum here.
