Ratings and reviews

The picture quality has always been good on the 6 Pro but for the last year or so it oversaturates everything with no ability to turn it off. For the last few months there's been huge problems with the video recording, namely that it lags so you're losing the beginning parts of what you were recording. And the videos end up not showing what you pointed your camera at if you zoom in at all. So video recording is a useless feature at this point

Pretty good. Night Sight is great, though there are a couple annoyances: 1. Since I only use Night Sight to shoot the night sky, I have to change focus from auto to far every time the camera screen is shown (e.g. after going into More Settings, viewing a taken photo, or sleeping and waking the phone). 2. I wish it allowed recording video with the same exposure gain as the Night Sight preview, which would especially be useful for shooting auroras. I have to work around it by using screen record.

I still prefer v 8.3 over the latest update. In terms of details, v8.3 exposes details much better. The latest update destroys the details by overbrightening the highlights and overdarkening the shadows. Also, dynamic range seems to be off, since details while zooming-in photos are blurier now. Also, even if there is a lot of people in frame, the focus goes to the background and blurs all the people. Color reproduction seems to be off too, the processed colors doesn't match the real-life colors.
