iPhone X Camera settings

[Rogue86]

Hi all,

My other half recently upgraded to a new iPhone X. On holiday last week her images seemed terribly low quality compared to my P20. Turns out her camera is churning out files at 350kb (compared with 8MB on mine). Obviously first call was google but with no real way to adjust the camera settings I'm left a bit stumped. We've just checked with another guy at work who has one but his images are 6MB.

Any ideas?

On my X the pics were about 6-8mb in size ... where are you comparing them and establishing file size?

Initially it was the metadata on the files sent to my phone, but we've had them on her Mac too.

Edit to add - the image quality is visibly much worse. The metadata only really served to confirm it, image size is around 900px longest edge. This is all before it has gone through any editing software also.

Not sure what would cause this - have you checked the “optimise iphone storage” setting which keeps smaller size images on the phone if you are low on storage? If it’s turned in this might be the cause?
