JAZZ FLIP VIDEO CAMERA REVIEW UPDATE
Perhaps a future update would fix some of the small issues we outlined.

Another thing to note here is that the older Zenfone prefers warmer white balance too.Įven though the 7 Pro seems to be more consistent with its shooting, the Zenfone 8 Flip is still a pretty good night shooter. The two phones often trade blows, but perhaps the Zenfone 7 Pro comes out on top, at least when it comes to the standard 4 seconds exposure. Interestingly enough, comparing the Night modes of both handsets produces interesting results, to say the least. In fact, with this 6s toggle, we can say definitely say that the Zenfone 8 Flip has one of the best Night modes in town. Nevertheless, we would like to stress that going for the longer exposure is advisable for the best possible results.
Light sources look more balanced and well-contained. The noise in the shadows is removed without sacrificing fine detail.
No matter which of those two modes you select, as long as you use the Night mode, you will see a considerable improvement in sharpness, noise, detail, contrast and dynamic range.

And depending on the scene, the software may go for a brighter exposure too, brightening up the scene quite a bit. It produces considerably clearer images and resolves more fine detail. Going for the second option is advisable if you have the opportunity. Switching on the Night mode gives you a toggle with two options - 4 and 6 seconds of simulated exposure. You can see a noticeable improvement in dynamic range and contrast too. At least as far as sharpness and fine detail are concerned. Still, the new software seems to be doing a better job than before for low-light photography. The noise reduction algorithm often washes away some detail, too. And by detailed, we mean that you can clearly see what's going in there, but it's often ruined by grain and fuzziness. Light sources and highlights are often clipped, showing a tendency for brighter exposure, which also explains the bright and detailed shadows.
Using the default Photo mode for nighttime shooting probably won't give you the desired results as photos are often noisy, soft and can sometimes lack contrast. Color reproduction, dynamic range and lens correction are all giving us a reason to rate the camera higher, not to mention there's no obvious color fringing, which is often an issue with ultrawide snappers.Īgain, image quality is identical between the Zenfone 8 flip and the outgoing model. Even though it's 12MP, it leaves much to be desired in terms of sharpness and detail. In comparison to the Zenfone 7 Pro, we'd say the cameras are again identical with the most noticeable difference being color reproduction and the slightly more accurate exposure on the 8 Flip.Īs expected, the ultrawide camera isn't stellar, but it's also not far behind your average ultrawide camera for the class. Indoor shots do get a bit noisier, but there isn't a noticeable deterioration in overall quality. The HDR is doing a really good job, on the other hand, and color reproduction seems to be in line with the main camera's. At least when compared to full-fledged flagships. The telephoto unit's processing gets pretty close to that of the main camera but since it lacks resolution, sharpness and detail aren't impressive. Zooming aggressively will uncover some of the noisy patches in photos, too. If you are mostly after detail, you get that in abundance, but the HDR algorithm seems to be disabled in this mode, so well-lit sceneries are recommended.

Shooting in the full 64MP resolution is possible, and these photos look pretty good. We did some direct comparison with the Asus Zenfone 7 Pro as well and as we already mentioned above, there is hardly any difference except how colors are rendered. Getting close to the subject yields good results, though.Īnd kudos to the camera for pulling off the challenging shots of the two cats where the light is anything but ideal. Take a look at the couch and the furniture and the carpet on one of the indoor samples - detail from the fabric is non-existent. Colors are vivid, and yet, Asus keeps it somewhat within a reasonable range of accuracy.Įven the slightest drop in light results in added noise and loss of detail. The dynamic range is wide enough to keep the highlights and shadows balanced. In fact, the foliage looks sharper than before, and so do the buildings in the distance. Daylight shots are still excellent, with a high level of detail and looking extra sharp. Not much has changed since the previous iteration of the phone.
