I recently bought an N82 phone off Ebay and expected the flash to be very bright.

I don't know if my flash is dodgy but here is an example of the flash in very low light, Not pitch black but the room was very dark, I was around 4-4.5 meters away.

I've seen a video on youtube where someone took a pic from 5 meters away and it seemed better than my pic.

Have you tried shooting in "Night portrait mode" It usually gives a brighter image

The flash in n82 is among the strongest there is and it should iluminate that room easily i think

Thanks for your message, I was thinking the same.

Do you agree that it should be brighter then?

Itīs a bit brighter. Donīt think you can expect much more than that. Itīs an iso 800 pic also and that gives it some noise and so. If you shoot the same with low iso setting it would look less noisy but less details.

But i think itīs ok
