Sharpness in 1080p? - Huawei P10 Questions & Answers

Does anyone experience bad 1080p video recording. It's not sharp enough.
If I record in 4K everything is really sharp.
The P10's 1080p video is not so sharp as my earlier iPhone SE.
Why is that?

Hi, you are not alone unfortunately. I have realised that some time ago on Five Finger Deatch Punch concert - it was on android 7. Now I'm on 8.0 but haven't tested it since as i set 4k as default
Edit: I have tested it yesterday and it's still visible on android 8 (tom ver. 360) when you disable pro settings, but everything is fine when the pro settings are on. I have also tested it on my friend P10 pro (rom. 185) and he doesnt have this ptoblem at all and everything is working fine. Looks like our P10 have got an autofocus problem

Request: Video stabilization oxygen OS 3.2.6

Hi all! Can someone test video stabilization 1080p on oxygen OS 3.2.6?
if possible I would like see a comparison with a Samsung s7 / s6 which has a great stabilization. It would also be nice to see a video comparison between the 3.2.4 and 3.2.6.
Unfortunately I do not have the ability to make a comparison right now. But I would see if indeed there was an improvement!
Thank you all

i would like to see that too
I updated to 3.2.6, and my ois and eis doesn't work neither on picture or video. I'm gonna try reflash it , and wipe everything
Well, It's the same thing, as in the 3.2.4: no ois or eis or 60fps full hd, only 4k with ois.
It's fixed in the community build, but not stable. I'm sure it will come soon enough.

Wow I just tested 3.2.6 and for me it's worse than the 3.2.5 my phone came with, which has OIS in 1080p I'll just restore my backup and go back zzz
I also have focus problems with 3.2.6 whene make a Video.

3.2.5 does not have working OIS.
There is no difference to 2.3.6 in terms of stabilization.

Well when i got the phone the first day i did record a video and there was no shakyness, I'm almost pretty sure there is in 3.2.5, i will restore my backup later and try, not saying you're wrong, it's just that i recorded a new one in 3.2.6 and it's too shaky and the difference between both videos is big in terms of stabilization

Lag when playing HDR videos in YouTube

So I've watched a few 4K videos, and I've watched a few 4K 60 frames per second videos, and both of those seem to work pretty well on this unlocked Note 8. However when I actually try to watch the HDR videos I get some pretty significant lag and choppiness, even when watching 1080p HDR. Does anybody else see this happening on their device?

You're not the only one
I too am having an issue in YouTube on the Note 8 wherre anything played back above 720p60 HDR becomes super slow and unwatchable in terms of something thats supposed to be 60fps. If you stick to 720p60 HDR for now you won't have that problem. Hopefully Google pushes out an update for YouTube asap
LG V30 stutter at 1080p HDR and above
I am experiencing the same problem too, my New LG v30 has the same issue. My internet speed is over 200mbps and I experience lag like crazy. I called Google about it and they said it is an issue on several devices and should be fixed in the coming months.
I have the same problem. Huge lag and audio sync lag when viewing videos in HDR
US unlocked note 8 , and no troubles here watching HDR. No lag or stuttering. Can you link a specific video and I can try that and let you know what happens.

Ok, unless I am doing something different, I still can not get it to stutter or have audio sync issues. I have watched Marco polo on Netflix that is supposed to be 4khdr. I have watch almost all 4k Samsung demos on you tube. I have 100 mbps internet going to a 5ghz wireless router,and sir about 20 ft from it. I can't find the setting in Netflix app to set 2160p , but can find settings in YouTube. I will keep trying.

In youtube you should see 2160p hdr settings otherwise no real hdr i think

I've watched that video just now (plus other 4K HDR videos on YouTube) in 1440p settings and I get zero lag anywhere. I've got an exynox Indonesian Note 8, watching on a WiFi connection that is originally only 30mbps then routed through a tp-link powerline router (max 10mbps).

No lag on this video but i dont see it being indicated as HDR just 1440P, I think we might need to add more details when testing. I suggest everyone who claims smooth/stuttery enable stats for nerds on youtube and make sure to report if the video format shows 2560x1440 ( as sometimes youtube will still display 1080p even if you have 1440p selected ) and then mention if its 1440p, 1440p HDR or 1440p60 HDR.
A good example is to try this video and make sure video format shows 2560x1440

There is a very minor stuttering especially if you are sensitive to it, I asked someone do a blind test on me on a random scene on the clip and 10/10 I was able to tell it correctly. The stuttering is not buffering related. But Im glad that you are not sensitive to the stuttering. I was able to also test this 4 snapdragon variants and 2 on exynos all of which had same results. I think this is a bug on the player as it only stutters when playing in full screen.
Exynos India version and yes, even i observed this stuttering last night. Its quite annoying though. Let me know if you guys find any solution.

It has to say 1080 HDR or 1440 HDR for the stutter if it does not say HDR then you are not watching at the same quality as us with the issue.
Watched it after I turned on nerd stats , 1440p60hdr setting, and sorry to report, it was quite smooth. The colors were vibrant and scenes with the sunlight were quite realistic.

I'm glad i'm not alone. Youtube crashed and restarted my phone too. Have had the phone for 1 month and happened twice. I think it's an app problem at this point
Edit: I also tried several HDR 1440p 60fps (Peru 8k HDR 60fps FUHD) video and it lags. Have the Exynos version of the Note 8

Super Slow-mo flickering/waves on screen

I just noticed today that my Huawei P20 Pro camera flickers and there's a wave-like flowing on the screen when using Super Slow-mo at x32 and x8 under fluorescent lighting, like in the office. I have yet to try under daylight.

Hiya
This is normal. Slow motion recording especially at the higher fps needs really good light as in outdoors.
A lot of cameras flicker indoors.
Nothing wrong with your phone though, my S9+ was not good at slow mo indoors either.
Because the lights are flickering.

That's the problem... You can't record super slow video under lights (not only p20 pro but with every phone) because of the flickering of lights that your eyes can't see... If you try in phisical light you will see that everything is good...

The same phenomena happens with a professional slowmotion cameras for $5000+, you just can't get around the refreshrates of artificial lightsources.

Maybe you must read better the thread. It's only a point of view or at best a theory.
Although I agree that it does not have the best recording in slow motion
When the winds of change blow, some build walls, others build windmills
It's on high-speed cams, they have tested a number of phone cameras, they say the p20 pro is recording at a slower speed than 960 FPS and is using software to slow it down even more.

The problem is just that your light is flickering.
If, like mine, your light flickers at 50hz, then 960 fps will exhibit worse flickering.

Yes, I had already read it but as I said it is just an opinion (that even maybe influenced by another manufacturer...)

Video recording pixelated @ 1080p 60fps.

When I try to record a video (with the stock app) ONLY in 1080p 60fps the video is pixelated, especially when I zoom in.
The phone is brand new.
I dont know if this is a bug and it will be fixed by a future update OR the stock camera app has this bug....
Does anyone else have this problem?
Everyone have this problem. 1080p60fps is not good at all on mi a2, looks like xiaomi tried to put 60fps in the same bitrate as 30fps, so we have not so good quality. When you enable camers2api in every other app than stock, 1080p looks like max zoomed in picture..
Maybe with pie update we can expect some improvement...

Yes, I hope with Pie will be fixed. Its not a major problem though... I use 4K 30fps for my recordings....
OpenCamera is the best option for 4k video recording. But loses this resolution if you enable camera2api

Huawei P30 Pro slow motion.

Hello guys,
I'm wondering about buying this year flagship from Huawei, but i'm very concerned about quality of slow motion videos, it looks really weak comparing to Galaxy S10. Do you think that P30 Pro will get any update that will repair/improve recording videos in slow motion ? Please write your thoughts about that. Best Regards.
I'll just say it, slomo is sht. At 120fps is pretty decent. Anything higher and it looks muddy and doesn't focus. If you kinda care about video recording, maybe wait for the s10 5g. It'll be the one to beat for now.

Yes, it isn't that bad, and actually focuses correctly.
As above, the slow mo is pants compared to other cameras. It doesn't record at 960fps properly, it actually records at 240fps and then interpolates the missing frames.
It can be best witnessed with something rotating. For example I shot this example video of a fidget spinner: https://photos.app.goo.gl/ET1X4yPteuCpkJ8d7
As you can see when the slow mo kicks in, the surrounding areas of movement are a little blurry because the software is doing what it can. Admittedly, for an interpolated video it's quite impressive, but compared to a 'full-fat' 960fps video it just looks lack-lustre.

I got the same problem.
120FPS the video looks sharp, but if I choose 240 or 960fps the video is not sharp and I can't sharpen the video even if I touch the screen.
Maybe the next update will solve this problem.

It depends on what you're filming. If you find something close up (like a fidget spinner) the quality issues are visible.

As a comparison, this is a video I shot on the Xperia XZ Premium in 2017 - the first 960fps phone camera - and it's all so much smoother and crisp.
The Huawei technology (despite supposedly using the Sony sensor) isn't half as good IMO.
