Dim the lights but still visible and there's light from the TV.

Just that there's much hype about low-light photography with G4 and was kinda bummed when the auto-focus is not that fast that I missed some nice shots (people thought picture was taken and moved away). If taking stationary objects in low-light, it's really quite good.

Would play with it more :D

The scene you described even though its still visible to you it is actually very very dark for the camera. All cameras including dslr will struggle in your given scenerio except the highend pro models. Also in your scenerio flash is a must. The problem is not just G4 but its photography.

Yep so we turned on the lights and took a nice group shot :)

Even some mirrorless cameras having focusing issue at low light! Be realistic

For android phone cameras' prowess, the most you can do is balance between slow shutter (where targets need to freeze longer) vs high ISO (where shots get more noise). You have to find this balance with manual mode. The goodness of having manual mode.
Then post process by increasing brightness of 'shadow'

For mirrorless, dslr or lumia1020 (those with decent flash, not led flash which is very weak), you can deploy this combo for clarity and speedy shot on extreme low light scenarios
High shutter + flash + low ISO + white balance, it's possible to get a shot in really low light that is still 'well lit' looking and clear enough and as if there is no flash at all (might need to post process red eye though)
But this technic don't work with led flash la as they are too weak XD

Nubia's phone have electronic aperture control, I wonder how well does it work.

Manual control allows you to take pictures with more control and be more involved in the creative process.

The brain in your head is more superior in the creative process. Try long exposure shots. Small aperture around f8 and exposure of 5-10s. Push ISO down to 100 or 200. Then you will see why megapixels and laser autofocus and whatever shebangs don't give the G4's camera the edge.You give it the edge.

Anyone using the swype function on the default keyboard? It seems like after swype one word it won't auto insert a space :s11:? Strangely on my old LG phone when swyping it will auto insert a space after each word so no need to manually press space after each word. Not sure if there's some setting I missed.
