Sorry, it's a little bit of a rant , I just can't believe google, how can they screw up the HDR+ mode so bad? The HDR+ makes the photos, specially the ones at night look amazing but it also makes the camera almost useless, it slow downs the camera/ phone and it takes like 4 seconds to take a single shot :/ and even worse if you take let's say 3 photos, it just queues the photo editing of the photos, so you have to wait 12 seconds to see the last pic you took.

Nexus 6p and pretty much all of the nexus phones (nexus 5, nexus 6) need the longest of any flagship I've tried to capture a HDR+ pic :/ , the galaxy s6, the LG G4, the iphone 6/6s you just snap a HDR picture and it's already on the gallery by the time you open it.

I love hdr+ and has been trying to flash it on every phone since N5 ?

HDR+ makes a huge difference. It does a good Job..they do need to work on the app though
[Nexus 6P General] geoff5093:
I think most of these posters have never used a phone outside of stock Android. I had the G4 and Note 5 before getting my 6P, and I can tell you that compared to the HDR modes of both LG and Samsung, the Google Camera HDR+ mode is truly awful. Yes it's a bit better than the non-HDR mode, but not by much. HDR on LG and Samsung makes a huge difference, and those images are almost instantly view-able.
[Nexus 6P General] @work:
Huh, this has not been my experience.
[Nexus 6P General] daewond3r:
As a former S6 owner, the HDR results from Samsung are (majority of the time) over-processed and the picture, while high in dynamic range, looks unnatural. I've had great results with my 6P and HDR mode. The pictures come out with good dynamic range and they look a lot more natural.
[Nexus 6P General] dex2grigg:
What I mean is, its a small device with so many features. Not a DSLR? I think I'm a decent photographer and the camera on this phone is outstanding
[Nexus 6P General] geoff5093:
I strongly disagree, unless you think these shots from my Note 5 are "unnaturally overprocessed":

The 6P photos come out dull most of the time. Here are some of my keepers from my 6P:

The LG G4 is definitely my favorite:

I'm not saying the 6P isn't good, it is for a Nexus definitely. I'm saying HDR mode doesn't even compare to that of LG and Samsung.
[Nexus 6P General] zymphad:
Most certainly without doubt over processed. Your N5/G4 pics do not resemble natural at all.... The world is not saturated like that. Just as all Samsung AMOLED displays are awfully over saturated. Just happy 6P has sRGB mode to lessen that effect.

HDR acceptable for low light, other than that it sucks, my opinion anyway. HDR is a novelty and compensation for the weakness of phone cameras. That is all it is. If you want real contrast, learn photography rather than touting how amazing the G4 is? My suggestion. I am not a photographer but have never been impressed by any phone camera vs an actual DSLR by an amateur enthusiast.
[Nexus 6P General] geoff5093:
Completely false, you are just used to the dull photos from the Nexus. Have you ever been to a New England fall day? It's most definitely that saturated. These look very similar to how they look out of camera from my DSLR as well.

No one wants to look at 100% natural photos either, slightly saturated adds a nice look to photos to make them pop. There is a difference between over saturated and a good looking photo though.

HDR for low light? Do you know what HDR actually does? Low light is when you don't want to use it due to taking an over exposed shot in a dark shot will lead to excessive ISO and or blurred images.
[Nexus 6P General] zymphad:
I live in New England and HDR are by definition over saturated contrast enhanced processed and IMO Samsung/LG are the worst. Apple probably the best. Real camera trumps them all. I prefer real life over saturated digital. Personally hope someday phone cameras will improve someday and HDR will be a terrible memory people will laugh thinking, people really thought HDR was a good idea?
[Nexus 6P General] Cerberus123:
No doubt that camera app lack behind of Samsung, Apple and LG.

I also have to disagree. Although the camera on the 6p is better then the 6 which was better then the 5 etc its still far from "great"

The photos on my S6 were amazing and fast.

The software on the stock android for camera is horrible. The only reason i was excited for the 6p camera vs the S6 was the 240fps for slowmo and unless the sun is directly above you theres an absurd amount of noise PLUS you cant export the slomo video after you finish putting the slomo parts in so you can only view it on Google Photos otherwise the entire video is slow.
[Nexus 6P General] dontbeweakvato:
Everyone is missing op's point.

He/she is saying that it takes a long time for the app to do it's thing. To take the shot and process the image.
[Nexus 6P General] jayesh:
This is entirely true. I bought myself a note 4 used along with a 128 gig card, since it was going cheap, took a HDR shot and its .. instantaneous. Zero wait time.. click, point and shoot and view a second later.

---------- Post added at 06:44 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:39 AM ----------

All samsung phones also do have the ability to be switched to SRGB (basic display mode i think). It makes a LOT of difference, if you prefer your display to be flat like that.

---------- Post added at 06:44 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:44 AM ----------

Pretty much this.
[Nexus 6P General] RHChan84:
It does take a long time to process the photo. My G3 never took this long but HDR works better then my G3 for pulling up the shadows. But I rarely use it on any phones and the times I've used it, I was pretty happy with the results that I tested. I've done it a few times on my DSLR manually but I don't do it much.
[Nexus 6P General] z06mike:
You do realize that the HDR+ in Google's camera app does a lot more than just a regular HDR mode??? http://petapixel.com/2014/10/30/look-googles-impressive-hdr-feature-latest-nexus-phone-cameras/

It takes a lot to pull off the shots that this camera can take. BTW, I have a Note 4 and the 6p is definitely better. Also, if you dislike HDR so much, then just turn it off!
[Nexus 6P General] Cerberus123:
You do realize that such comments are useless?? Who cares what Google's hdr does. It doesn't take a genius to realize their camera app is simple junk. It is like 10 years behind Apple and Samsung and it will probably keep being that way as long as there are users like you that will justify them no matter what.
[Nexus 6P General] wally3614:
Disagree completely, I have the note 5, and some how the 6p is taking less blurry and equally sick photos

Though this upload doesn't do justice, and its 6pm
[Nexus 6P General] Cerberus123:
Hey buddy wake up. The OP is talking about the CAMERA APPLICATION, not the quality of the photos that the camera takes. We are saying that the interface is very behind compared to the competition. We are also saying that taking pictures in HDR+ mode is very slow. And those are facts. Google has to step up its game. There is no need to justify them for stuff like this. It benefits us all if they get a team together to write new code, build a new app and everything. If Samsung could do it, Google can do it as well. No doubt.
[Nexus 6P General] z06mike:
What exactly is wrong the camera app?

---------- Post added at 05:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:48 PM ----------

What I am saying is that the HDR function in the 6p is doing much more than on a Samsung or iPhone, which is why it takes longer to process. The camera takes awesome photos so why should it matter if it takes 1 or 2 seconds longer to process???
[Nexus 6P General] warplane95:
lack of manual option. you and me don't care about that hahaha.
[Nexus 6P General] shadowcore:
Provide some proof...

Your conjecture and opinion adds nothing to the discussion.

Is there any camera app that takes HDR shots quickly, paid or otherwise?
[Nexus 6P General] slaydog:
When he says it does more, he's referring to the article linked in post 18. I'm assuming that won't be enough "Proof" for you though...

Just pointing it out
[Nexus 6P General] Chad_Petree:
The first pictures , taken with Note 5 definitely look oversaturated , I had the Note 4 and the pictures it took with hdr on were definitely oversaturated , but that's not what I was pointing out, I'm pretty satisfied with the way the nexus 6p pictures with hdr+ come out , it's just that it takes the app so loooooong to process the photos , it makes you lose the moment , the photo, gets you a blurry photo etc .

P.S. The G4 photo looks amazing <3

Thank you dear sir!
[Nexus 6P General] :
@ op Sounds like you should have bought another phone then. :) I'm happy with my 6p. **** what more could you ask for? I've had every Nex since the G1 and many flagships and I love my Angler most of all.
[Nexus 6P General] akaHardison:
If you want to play with Qualcomm and still want to use an more open phone.You have to stand that.

Anyway Google has put its heart on it.Although is still slower than other flagships.It is still faster than old Nexus phone.

I have G3 and sure it has LDAP long time ago and its HDR is very amazing.The focus speed is faster than the new nexus 6p.
[Nexus 6P General] farfromovin:
I've had all the Note devices and the iPhone 6. The Note5 has a great camera, the 6p is right there for my use. Processing the HDR+ takes a while, but I don't care. I don't need to view my image right after taking it, I can wait 5s for a good pic. I think the 6p is even better in low light than the Note5.
[Nexus 6P General] dondavis007:
Read up about hdr+ and low light on Google blog, it's another way of doing hdr and do work in situations where normal hdr not is preferred

Skickat från min HUAWEI NXT-L29 via Tapatalk
[Nexus 6P General] Chad_Petree:
Maybe they should try another approach then since other companies have results just as good and with 5 times the processing speed of google's implementation, I tried he galaxy s7 today and it's ridiculously fast (yes I realize is a newer device ) , the hdr pictures are instantaneous :eek:
[Nexus 6P General] geoff5093:
I did too, and not only is the camera super fast but the display is worlds better than the 6P.
[Nexus 6P General] PimpFinger:
With phone cameras as good as they are these days I really don't care if the camera is only a little better than a stand alone point and shooter from 5 years ago. If I really want a great picture I'm going to break out the DSLR not my phone. To me a fast, dependable, long lasting phone is more important than taking great pictures with it. If you're really that into photography get a real camera. Don't mean to come off as an ass; that's just my 2 cents.
[Nexus 6P General] WizeGuyDezignz:
I went to Best Buy the last 2 days to play with the S7 Edge while I wait for my pre-order to ship. Wanted to be 100% sure while I still had time to cancel.

There isn't a chance at all that I'm canceling. I agree with you 100%. The camera and screen are much better. Not to mention performance, SD card, water resistance, big battery, etc. There is absolutely no doubt left in my mind that Samsung gave Huawei their 'B' stock of screens. It's not even really close to be honest.

Google has work to do with their camera app, there is no getting around it. It's quite pathetic in fact compared to the competition.
[Nexus 6P General] geoff5093:
Glad I'm not alone here! When I found out the price of the S7 Edge was going to be $780, I thought there was no way it would be worth an upgrade from my 6P. The second I looked at and held the S7 Edge though I knew it was an amazing phone, I had no doubt it was worth it. The display really popped, not just the colors and quality but the glass itself makes the display feel like you're touching the icons themselves and not looking at an ordinary phone screen where the icons feel like they are behind glass. The phone feels better to hold, and it's significantly smaller than the 6P even though it still has a 5.5" display.

I'm debating if I should keep my 6P for the times when a new OS comes out and I get itchy to try it, but $780 is a lot so I'll probably try and sell my 64GB 6P for around $425-$450 to help offset it.
[Nexus 6P General] WizeGuyDezignz:
Yeah man, you aren't alone. That S7 is a beautiful beast. I was thoroughly impressed. Well worth the price premium.

I returned my 6P and sold my Note 5 to offset the cost.
[Nexus 6P General] Chad_Petree:
The display has one fatal flaw in my opinion , there's very visible color shifting on the "edges" you can see very visible blue lines on the each side of the display, where the glass is curved , it's VERY apparent on every app with a white background like the browser, calendar, messaging app :crying:
[Nexus 6P General] WizeGuyDezignz:
Someone with more glass knowledge can correct me if I'm wrong, but it won't be physically possible to fix that. It's the nature of bent glass and looking at it at that angle.

Not a deal breaker at all for me considering I will be using a dark theme and how beautiful and powerful that phone is. My buddy gets his tomorrow since he's on t-mobile and they are already shipping. I'm on AT&T.
[Nexus 6P General] geoff5093:
Agreed. For me, the glass is curved so you are aware that something like that is the consequence of having a curved screen, and I think it's very easy to look over it. It makes looking and interacting with the phone more 3 dimensions which I love.
[Nexus 6P General] Mr. Rick1960:
My last phone was an HTC One Max running android 4.3.2 ? Jellybean. Anyway I think HTC's phone took better pictures in an 'auto' mode with or without flash. It also allowed for setting of ISO up to 1600 and as low as 200. +/- on EV always decent and stable in video mode. The Nexus 6P camera is lacking in some of these areas but makes up for it in others. For example...yes the HDR+ and HDR are an adjustment that one must get used to and play around with them a little bit. I would like to disable burst mode (I'm sure it can be done), but pictures in natural light are astonishing. I also like the 240fps video which is a very cool option. I'm all ears if there is a better camera app than the stock android/google app. I have also noticed that the accellerometer sp? is slugish...Has anyone else had the same impression ?? Mr. Rick1960
[Nexus 6P General] cstrife999:
Samsung bloatware will slow it down just like my Note 5. Plus their propreitary bull****. However their cameras are excellent, just not worth thew bloat and extended performance issues that will appear for me.
[Nexus 6P General] dj_rene:
Well, I'm a faithful fan of Android. But the slowness/hang of the camera makes me lost many precious chances to take the picture of those memorial such as my son's birthday party, family times etc. I can't say much but this is really disappointing. You know when it happened you just can't take the shot by one time right? By pressing the shutter i can only see it just hanging there... besides the technology it is really really a bad user experience ever since! And even i have disabled the HDR+ the camera still will hang from time to time. Please don't tell me to reset or clear cache etc. This is a phone not a test machine.

Really hope Google will fix it or AT LEAST provide a better ux. Please

---------- Post added at 09:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:23 PM ----------

To be honest, if you cann provide a good user experience, you should NEVER make to the customer! I'd rather not having HDR+ than miss a lot of precious time to take a picture. Google, Did you considered this could happen to your customer when they are using it?

Because today i have lost "another" chance to take a nice picture on my family day due to the camera hang.
[Nexus 6P General] siren_shadows:
Why did you get this phone if you don't want natural looking photos? There are many post process filters and camera apps you can use instead. :)
[Nexus 6P General] geoff5093:
Not even the samecomparison. Most people don't want completely natural looking photos anyways, I know I don't take RAW files from my 5D Mk 3 and simply export them without editing them.
[Nexus 6P General] siren_shadows:
Mine look vibrant and not overblown. Color reproduction is similar to my DLSR. i'm very impressed.
[Nexus 6P General] ChongoDroid:
Love my Google Camera
[Nexus 6P General] farfromovin:
I'm not sure how you miss photo opportunities because of HDR+. I use it and snap a few shots in succession and it buffers the processing just fine. I'm not trying to take 30 dark action shots in a row though.

Seriously, if you can't get a decent pic with this phone then I don't think any mobile will do for you. Go plunk down $5k on a DSLR and a lens.

Updated to Marshmallow, Tuesday with no problems. On Wednesday updated a bunch of apps including the Google app. decided to try the Google now launcher, so I uninstalled Nova launcher. downloaded Google now launcher.

+1 My Verizon G4 Marshmallow update was extremely problematic. A bunch of apps, mostly Google, but others disappeared from my phone leaving the orphan icons in the App drawer and Google Now (and On Tap) doesn't work. Try installing the Google Now Launcher to to see what happens, GNL says I need a newer version of the Google Search App and the Play Store says it's incompatible with my device. Can anyone shed some light on this issue?
[Verizon LG G4] mikeewhite:
Similar issue here also, my apps disappeared from the play store, Google was one in particular. However, since then, about 30 minutes ago I was flooded with app updates, Google being one of them.
[Verizon LG G4] player911:
I have this problem with my Android Wear sometimes. On a fresh G4 firmware, Android wear barks it needs Play Services or something updated, but the app says Up to Date, eventually it starts updating and starts working. Perhaps it is doing stuff in the background, similar to how Play Store gets updated behind the scenes. Once a few Google Apps get updated, the rest filter through like normal.

I am hesitant to take the MM upgrade because of lack of root. I am not currently rooted, but the thought of never having the option again makes me think twice.
