Selfie quality

You're beautiful and everyone knows it. That's why you take selfies. Rate this thread to express how the front-facing camera of the Moto X4 performs. A higher rating indicates that the front camera produces fantastic results consistently.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
Best selfie camera I've ever had. 16mp plus a flash. Also has the selfie enhancement built into the app to use if desired.
Excellent quality. Portrait mode picture taken by Arnova's Gcam.
The front camera is outstanding.. I really love the quality of the pictures taken from the front cam.
Just a side note about the selfie camera:
It is advertised as a 16MP, but the Moto camera defaults to a 4MP (Adaptive Low Light) setting. You can manually choose the 16MP setting, but it's not selected by default. Also, I have yet to see any 3rd party camera use anything higher than 4MP on the selfie camera. I've tried multiple GCam mods, as well as several camera apps from the Gplay store, and they can only see 4MP as the highest resolution.
I'm not sure if it's a 16MP sensor that down-samples to 4MP for better low-light performance, or if it's a 4MP sensor that up-samples to 16MP. Either way, I'm not complaining about the quality of the images. They're quite nice, and take fantastic photos!

GCam5.1.018-Arnova8G2-V1.3-Front-HDR+
Settings: Nexus 6p, nexus 6p, hdd+ on, face_brackets on
I'm from Brazil and here was noticed that the front camera can't focus objects that are close.
For an example, if you take a selfie, your face won't be focused but only what is behind you.
It is strange that I only see these complains about that here in Brazil.
Does anyone here having the same issue?

People here are commenting that the front camera has a fixed focus, so if you are not in the right distance, the picture will be a little blurry.

Almost every phone has a fixed focus front facing camera. The problem is that, in the X4, the focus distance is way higher than the usual. Half of the Galaxy S7 Flat units has this "problem" aswell, although way worse.
In photos where the subject is a big group of people, this is nice, as most people will be in focus. However, in a closeup selfie you will be very unfocused.
In my experience, the selfie has to be taken with at least 70% of an arm length from you to the phone, so you will be in focus.

I couldn't find the "face_brackets on" in the debugging and tools so I ignored it.
It still works though.

Lieageos photo quality vs stock Android one

Hi! I'm thinking off buying a Xiaomi Mi A1 and was wondering how does the lineageos photo app compare to stock one? Is the photo quality the same? Does the 2x optical zoom work?
dont buy mia1 in 2018 buddy, get something with sd636/660 or 845 instead. Redmi note 5 pro, mia2 and poco f1 are my quick suggestions.
Thank you for you repley but it doesn't answer my question. I don't play games so don't give a crap about faster CPU. My Nexus 5 is enough for me so I presume that Mi A1 CPU will be more than enough. It has micro SD and 3,5 jack so all I need. Back on topic. How does the lineageos camera photo quality compare to stock? I would like to run lineage Google free.
If you want quality, you must install Gcam port. Both stock and aosp cameras suck.
Not running Lineage, but I saw Magisk module for stock camera on custom ROMs, so you should be able to use stock app with 2x zoom. 3rd party camera apps do not support switching to 2x zoom lens (at least none of those which I tried). Though 2x zoom lens is not very useful, thanks to slow aperture it's next to unusable in anything else than bright light. Portrait mode is nice in theory, but you can't turn of "beautification" mode, which is utter crap as it smears all the details. Otherwise stock camera performance during day is very good (IMHO much more natural than GCAM). In low light it's crap, this is when I switch to GCAM and its magical HDR mode. But I don't know if you can run GCAM without Google framework.
So I'm stuck with either google looking into my pants or using some patched files which I can't trust or having a crap stock camera. SNAFU
Well, pick your poison..

Photo quality

Say "cheese", then rate this thread to express how photos taken with the OnePlus 7T Pro come out. A higher rating indicates that photos offer rich color (without over-saturating), sharp detail (with all subjects in-focus), and appropriate exposure (with even lighting).
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
Absolutely stunning photos. From my experience it rarely blows out any highlights and retains plenty of detail in darker areas. HDR works awesome. I took some side by side shots with my friends Galaxy Note 9 and there was very little difference in quality. Both the wide angle and telephoto also take great pics. The colour is very similar between all three. It's entirely seemless.
*1 48 mp mode
*2 normal main camera
Bought the oneplus 7T Pro for my primary usage the camera quality is OK. GCAM can increase the quality of the camera to another level.
Coming from the Pixel 2XL, the camera is simply bad on the One Plus 7T Pro. It's just not flagship quality by any means.
The camera is good, but the software is not handling it properly. Indoors, incredibly oversaturated video and color accuracy is just wrong in the photos. Looks like a budget phone taking snaps.
Photos taken outside during the day are significantly better but still a bit wrong in color accuracy. I agree this has a long way to go before it can be in a flagship phone like this. Major deception.
just use gcam and you got a camera that competes with iphone 11 in some cases it pulls ahead and I know because I own both of them
in this shot the first one is stock camera vs gcam night mode on

Which GCam are you using on the 7T Pro? I am only getting black screen for some reason.

Don't use that magisk module it will brick your phone there are another settings for wide & macro & working.
Below are the settings:-
?ROOT ONLY?
?OnePlus 7T/Pro:
1 - Install App Systemizer from Magisk and Reboot.
2 - Follow the Instructions and Systemize the GCam APK (make sure the package name org.codeaurora.snapcam is systemized, not any other) and Reboot
3 - Open terminal and type su -c setenforce 0 (or any other method to make it permissive,you may use a script to enable selinux permissive at boot itself)
4 - Open GCam Settings and enable Auxillary Cameras. Restart.

this seems to work well. the pixel binning patch seems to produce better results.

I compared the stock camera, GCam port and Note 10+ stock in 8 different scenarios, here's the link:

Hello, In your opinion, have the various updates improved the quality of the photos since the beginning? Especially in low light?
Better Autofocus and Quality
The Oneplus 7T pro camera quality is improved better with a 48-megapixel primary camera with an f/1.6 aperture and a pixel size of 0.8-micron. [shops.ae]
Did the gmod works with all 3 cameras? Because I have used a pixel 2xl with Google camera and I want use all 3 cameras with the Google cam on my new oneplus 7T Pro

7.2 arnova and urne work if rooted and you install the 7t aux enabler magisk module
7.3 gcam doesn't have a working method yet
I am still torn because of this... Have the Pixel 2 XL now and need a new phone.. OnePlus 7t pro comes to mind... Major doubts: Camera and audio recording...
Good
Camera quality is good but not upto to the level for this price range...

Selfie / front camera improvements in august firmware update

Hi,
I am considering the Oneplus 8 Pro, but am a little worried about the selfie cam. Will not be using it much, but sometimes it's nice to be able to snap a selfie. Reviews I have seen are showing that the picutres are OK, but the colours are off (too white/bright). Especially indoors. I noticed the changelog for the August firmware update included "selfie cam improvements" so was wondering if there is any noticable improvement?
Opper
Selfie cam still performs very badly indoors.
Workaround would be to use GCam.
Haven't noticed any different....

Is it much better with the GCam app? I could wait for 8t but I doubt that one has wireless charging.
Can someone maybe post an example with gcam and normal in terms of selfie?
