The i9 has a 3.1 megapixel camera with autofocus and flash. With all that going for it, you'd expect at least half-way decent images. Alas, that's not the case. In fact, I was shocked at the poor quality of images the i9 captured, especially indoor shots. The were loaded with grain, noise and other artifacts. They also had a lack of true focus, and weren't properly lit, even when the flash was used.

Outdoor shots fared better. They were generally cleaner, less noisy and sharper, but colors still seemed muted to me.

Video

Video quality was so-so. There was plenty of noise and grain. Even set to the highest resolution, the i9 seemed to perform below what its 3.1 megapixels would suggest.
