So incredible what you're able to achieve with a phone. Probably my best purchase in years.

The only improvement id love for the camera is better subject recognition and a wider focus area. Would also love 100mb pictures in master mode.

I am impressed more and more by this camera everyday.

The biggest improvement I've seen is around auto focus, it now can detect the true target of the photographer when there are minor objects or items in front of it. You will observe this in the chipmunk picture.

Additional I notice some improvement in the quality of the 10x, it's performing on the level of the x3 now in terms of clarity and stability.

Rendering of grass has significantly improved, they look more natural now and you will observe that in the picture of the blue bird.

Overall, clarity and natural sharpness have improved.

2x sharpness is better and even 1.5 looks better. The dropoff from native lens are better between 1x to 10x.

I haven't seen any improvement with the 20x for example.

In my previous post someone commented about the 10x being utilized quite well and many of us do take pics with the 10x because it's so fun and bring in subjects closer to us. I wanted to share some 1x pics to showcase the potential of the other lenses. Naturally, mostly landscape pics and some intimate ones. Most are also in low light scenarios . Tell me what you think and keep in mind I'm just having fun.

Some recent pics taken that I love ❣️ the bird without the watermark is 460mm zoomed in. Total amateur, but I love taking pics with this phone.

Was expected to receive the .306, as currently on the 304 but it appears I'm just getting an update version of the 304 that's larger than the 300mb update I've seen released for the Chinese and Indian versions

Nothing on the camera either, well I'm jumping in and let y'all know if I noticed anything new lol

Some of my recent favs

​

Btw anyone notice any improvement with the camera on the latest update? It's not available to me at this time.

Some random nature pics I took recently.

Brighter 1x Camera, and in fact all the focus lengths have improved.

Stabilization improved a lot when taking pics, I have shaky hands and my pics are coming out even better now.

Auto focus has been improved, subject focusing has also improved, and focusing on multiple subjects have been improved (You will notice the birds at a distant all have good focus). I wish they did better with small birds tho.

Master mode is now punchy (Vivo's advantage eliminated) with its colours, more vibrant and vivid throughout. No more need to edit to showcase the details!

shooting in sunlight is less blown-out, doing much better managing bright environments.

10X is brighter as well, stabilization with zoom is much better.

and lastly colour accuracy has improved.

Still would like some improvement on focus on smaller birds. I also wish we could control and expand the focus area. When we tap, I wish we could select and then expand the area. I will share some pics.

I cannot wait to see how much better this camera gets, amazing direction!

Compressed to 20mb and obviously compressed again by Reddit I'm sure.

Some of these pictures were compressed prior to upload and some were taken in auto mode. But I'm sure Reddit compressed them even more.

Video reduced from 4k to 1080p and 60fps to 24fps, did this too obviously reduce the size and enable an easy upload to reddit
