I'm not sure what kind of bad copypaste the op is trying achieve, but this is not a phone to give to your granny, period.
Android has disabled recording system audio since forever, and the most "legit" way of recording gameplay videos with actual in-game audio has been buying specially made headphones that feed system audio back to the microphone audio. I expected a phone marketed to games would have been sufficiently rectified this issue, but boy I was wrong.
To be fair, there's a built in recording app that can actually record system audio. But the software is terribly designed, to the point that other free, popular recording apps on Google Play is a much better choice. The built-in recording app has cannot adjust recording bitrate and framerate, and compare to DU Recorder, a recording of the same file size looks very bad due to its higher than necessary framerate but overall low bitrate.
So in the end you end up with a subpar and largely useless feature, one that exclusively has the privilege of recording system audio, which you won't be using if you're serious about recording games.

It's just the standard set of review threads that are put into the new forum for every phone when they are set up initially. Just a tiny bit of humor. Says the same thing on all the phone models.

As I have had several samsung devices, S3, Note3, Note4, Note7 and now a Note 8, I feel at home with samsung's way
The camera app is nice. It does the trendy background blurring pretty well, switches between cameras and lenses smoothly, and encodes HDR pretty quickly. I only have a single complaint: If you record 4K video, it just turns off after 10 minutes. There was no warning on the screen that this would happen. No warning in the box. Nothing. There wasn't even a single beep or ding to tell me it stopped, so I could walk over and re-start it! I just missed about 40 minutes of irreplaceable video that I'll never have, because apparently Samsung just decided to implement this arbitrary limit in their camera app. Meanwhile, my friend with an old Nokia Lumia 950XL is recording 45 minutes of 4k video without a single hitch, without overheating. No problem at all for the old Windows Phone from a few years back! So, that's the biggest ugly mark on this otherwise great phone, about one week in (SM-N950f Exynos).

Unfortunately the camera app is a real annoyance if you are in the wrong country.
I traveled to Japan which has the restrictions to always have a shutter sound seemingly. So the option to disable it was gone after logging in a Japanese provider.
Now I was that annoying foreigner standing in a nice quite place making terrible noise while taking pictures...despite everyone else didn't.
Okay I know it is the law. But do they have to turn the volume to maximum for it?
Even more annoying is using the panorama mode. Because it will make a shutter sound for EVERY picture it takes whilst. And thats several per seconds. So suddenly you turn into a machine gun photographer.
Imagine doing that in a temple or museum...
Couldn't be more embarrassing. I had to cover the speaker as best as possible to quiet it down.
The builtin Nokia Camera app is an utter disgrace, compared to what back.rider555 showed is possible on that hardware with his gcam port.

I cannot find wi fi calling on it yet.
Any help would be great.
Overall, I love the camera, but it has a few issues to iron out. Thankfully, LG decided to keep the ability to zoom with the shutter button. The precision of it's motion combined with the subtle haptics make it feel almost mechanical. There are thoughtful little details like that throughout. It feels really special to use.
The toolset is robust, with lots of options. There's a bit of learning to get the most out of it, but well worth the effort. I especially love the "Graphy" learning tool in the manual camera, it intuitively teaches what the settings do and how to use them.
Overall, it's awesome, but I just got seriously annoyed discovering that the flash won't work after the battery drops below 15%. For such a serious creative tool, this feels like an arbitrary oversight. After I spend all day searching for good shots, I don't want to be denied a few more when there is plenty of power. I can run the flashlight as long as I like, but it refuses to blink for a second when I really need it. It's silliness like that that make people say this phone is 'just ok'. The inability to mute the shutter sound doesn't help either.

Coming from a 4 years Zenfone 2 user, I fell like evolving backwards with R3Pro feature-wise.
Yes, Realme's Camera app is simple and easy to understand, and will certainly please most user. But I'm the type who appreciates more features and settings. Like many 'generic' phones today, in R3Pro there's not even option to change photo resolution. Sometimes I also use 480p video to record simple things, and video resolution option is not present in R3Pro. Luckily, anti-flicker is seems to be present (without any settings) and works well.
I got new software update just today and (I think) it adds the option to choose 30 or 60 fps in 720p or 1080p, and its awesome! Too bad I didn't have the 60fps option 2 days ago. I just went home from vacation where I record some videos using Open Camera app, I set to record in 1080p 60fps but strangely it outputs only 1080p 30fps.
AI works really well and recognizes the scene in 1 or 2 seconds. In-app editing is easy to navigate and has lots of options.

Camera quality is very bad
Can you elabaorate? I haven't had any issues with the quality, both in Auto and Manual mode. Yes, there's a bit of a pink-ish hue in the middle in low light but apart from that, I was able to take surprisingly nice photos with this phone. And for the camera app itself, it crashes after shooting a timelapse and you stop the post-processing but that's about it.
I also disagree. The camera is quite good. Especially when you take pictures at night. No function in manual mode has failed me.
Maybe a little bit of speed.
It's pure Android so everyone knows what to expect. Now version 10.
I like it very much, that is why i've bought it, have no complains.
