No it's more to do with the pixel size, which the pixel phones are bigger, meaning better lowlight

The pixel 3 actually has 1.8 aperture and the OnePlus 6 has 1.7

Meaning the 6 is better there but sensor size makes more of a difference than the aperture, so in lowlight on paper the pixel 3 is better

Please tell me how to enable developer mode to disable automat save pictures on Google photos.....it's killing me.....
[Google Camera Mods] MetalSir:
Yes sure, it's superior but I still think that difference is minimal. and we are still comparing 2 phones with more than 500 bucks difference price.

To me what's really makes the difference is software developement and implementation. OP6 is a TOY compared to PIXEL3, in therms of sw development, IMHO.
[Google Camera Mods] jabarel:
All the time what is new on sw side, but ram management it's a joke on pixel 3 . Nothing new on desing, no 5G doesent worth it just for camera? Overated price for nothing in Romania it's 4800 lei = 1100 euros , warranty sux because it's not from Google etc . In SUA or in another country where you can buy it directly from store it's ok, but not from parteners:)
[Google Camera Mods] AcmE85:
The difference is actually not that small.

Just take a look at camera comparisons which also show exif data.

Pixel phones need a substantially lower ISO with a faster shutter speed to due to the bigger sensor size.

This is maybe negligible in daylight, but is more apparent in bad lighting and especially when it comes to night sight.

And let's be real, the OP6/T has a sh*tty lens.

Even the OP3 has better overall sharpness!
[Google Camera Mods] non1oson:
Hey acme maybe you can help, is it just me or does the video not auto focus? Thanks
[Google Camera Mods] AcmE85:
I didn't try video recording on the more recent versions.

Last time I used it was on Pixel3Mod 1.5 Beta 2 (based on GCam 5.3), which was working OK.

I will have a look...
[Google Camera Mods] MetalSir:
Dunno.. seems like that 9.0.6 made some major changes in camera quality.. give a look HERE. Seems honest to me.

THIS is a cool article too with some well done comparisons (with gcam port too). I mean, to be a phone that costs than half price compared to p20pro, i can't notice so much difference. Not SO MUCH to pay 500 bucks more. Maybe we're way OT now.
[Google Camera Mods] AcmE85:
I was talking about the lens only.

It has a noticeable decrease in sharpness to the edges. This has also been mentioned in the XDA camera comparison a while ago.

Improved processing won't help here, as this is a physical issue, present on stock and GCam. I am still looking forward to the improvements in processing though.

I won't and can't argue the difference in price and I've seen your previous post on this. I'm on your side. Even if the Huawei was the same price, I just couldn't use it due to EMUI!

But coming from the OP3, overall sharpness decreased due to the lens. Don't get me wrong, the OP6 has the BETTER sensor in comparison to the OP3.

Op3 gcam > op6 gcam?

Is it just me or is my OP3 gcam taking much better pics than my new OP6T gcam? My OP3 wins almost every shot except low light with the OP6T having that terrible yellowish cast on its shots. The OP3 pics are also larger in size (around ~1.5 mB larger ), which makes me think that the OP3 gcam has a better configuration that makes it take in more information, so that the computations have more data to work with to produce a better shot?

Both are using HDR+ enhanced.

[Google Camera Mods] Mord0rr:
Ah!

So i was right on my previous post about loosing quality on corners, concerning only the lens...

This can be easily verified, taking a picture to a document or text page....the center is ok and you can see the words well focused, but soon you look corners, the text starts to became no so well focused...

For some reason Huwai use Leica lens.....:cool:

Awesome shots man! Love it.

I am having this crashes issue on 1.3 version. Have been clearing cache and data also rebooting it several times, still the shutter button freeze. Back to version 1, as the 1.1 version has less sharpening for my taste ?
[Google Camera Mods] riffmachine93:
6t comparitvely look greener then 3 which looks pretty natural imo
[Google Camera Mods] v0 HaVoK 0v:
Wow I see what you mean, this is strange because on paper the op6/t has the better sensor
[Google Camera Mods] Tomatot-:
There are a few things:

First, maybe the port is so far more optimized for the OP3 for some reasons.

Second, there are no big differences in quality, it's more about the colour tones and it seems like you just prefer colder tones, that's all :)
[Google Camera Mods] dyepnoodle:

How did you manage to make 1.3 version so stable?

Would love to know it also, as it is crashes on my OP6 9.0.2 unroot
[Google Camera Mods] etaPlease:
Could you link me to 1.3 apk? Too many replies to this thread. Cant find
[Google Camera Mods] GoldenSausage:
Nah the OP3 is definitely more accurate to the actual scene. Its not a colder temp, its actually more neutral, whereas the OP6T has like a yellow filter over it. I notice this is the case with oneplus phones, including my OP3 stock camera.

I agree with others noting that the OP6T pics are sharper, but the color temperature is just off.

The contrast is also too high. If you take a look at the picture with the wallet, the contrast is way too much and just looks harsh and unnatural whereas the OP3 looks more normal. The outdoor pic with the flower pot as well. The big leaf at the front...

Hopefully this can be fixed with configuration. The gcam fixed the OP3's yellow cast issue with its stock camera, but did not fix the OP6T yellow cast.

One of the differences is that in the OP3 gcam, there was a lot of configurations i had to follow to make it this good, i simply followed the instructions here: https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/f/settings08/.

Whereas the OP6T gcam when i installed it, there was little configuration available.

I'm actually kind of sad because when i first dled the gcam for OP3, i was completely blown away how good it was, it made my cam 2 generations better. Now i just paid for the OP6T expecting to have an even better camera that could rival the pixel 3 for day light shots (many tests on youtube showing that it looks almost identical), but ended up with an arguably inferior camera to the OP3.

Low light shots the OP6T blows the OP3 out of the water though thankfully.

You mean resampling method?

None = 16 MP photos (but using zoom will be low-res)

Raisr = 12 MP photos (but zoom will look better / super res zoom depending on the version)

does anyone know what the Lanczos Resampling method does? any info on it?
[Google Camera Mods] vhinjavier05:
Out of topic. Does anyone knows a good wide angle lens compatible for

oneplus 6. Thanks . Cause i find the rhinoshield lens a Little bit expensive because you need to buy the case also for it to work out
[Google Camera Mods] Franc38:
Yeah lanczos and raisr are both interpolation methods that can be used to "fill in the gaps" when instead of a continuous curve/surface you just have points (like in a picture).

They take a look at the points nearest to were the information is missing and use a "kernel" (sorry of a pre conception of the distribution of things at a local level) and guess what the info could be.

In other words they allow for zooming in the picture while not having either big pixel or white gaps or blotches. And the both of them are fairly good at that provided the bandwidth is adequately chosen (which Google have done a good job at implementing).

Hello to all,

those who have tried the GCam, does it take fast photos or sometimes it takes 1-2sec. to take the pic?

This is the only thing I want to know before buying this amazing phone. I promise I have seen all the videos of 6 with the Gcam, but nobody shoes when the photos are taken with the phone,,, only the comparisons of the photos from the 6T with Gcam vs Stock.

If someone could tell me that I can make them fast, even if bursts can be done (both in HDR + mode), I'll buy it for sure.

I come from the S7 Edge that from time to time when making the photo, it takes 1-2sec to take the pic and of course with 2 children I have its a nightmare sometimes

Thank you very much in advance.

[Google Camera Mods] iqrammm:
Hdr+ have zsl(zero shutter lag) meaning instant photos but hdr+enhanced do take 1-2 sec. for daylight shots,hdr+ is more than enough.
[Google Camera Mods] Slash8915:
That's because hdr+ is the equivalent of hdr auto, which doesn't work on this phone. Therefore, using hdr+ doesn't use HDR at all, hence the zero shutter lag.
[Google Camera Mods] iqrammm:
I may be wrong but according to exif data, hdr+ do applies the algorithm? and as far as I am concern there is no hdr auto for gcam since we mainly use gcam for hdr+ purpose . But hey I am no expert :D
[Google Camera Mods] Slash8915:
Hdr+ may have finally been fixed in a recent version of the port, which would be awesome. I know for a fact it wasn't working in earlier versions.
[Google Camera Mods] iqrammm:
not sure which earlier version you are talking about but its working fine since september i think. But hey cheers mate:good:
[Google Camera Mods] RubenMMS2:
This is the point i was thinking all the time.. on my Galaxy S7 Edge with Gcam of Pixel II i only have the option HDR+ and no HDR+ Enhanced.

The other thing is that i have is HDR+ off/ HDR+ auto/HDR+ on. In all the reviews i have seen regarding the Oneplus 6 there is no auto Mode..

This is why i need to know exactly if you let it on the Oneplus 6 activated all the pics taken should be with HDR+, or not ?

HDR+ on my actual phone are amazing... but sometimes 1-2 seconds to make the photo, and then 2sec to process it...

Could you help me regarding this point Slash8915

Thanks in advance
[Google Camera Mods] AcmE85:
As far as I know, the Samsung EXYNOS GCam ports only were able to use the old Nexus 6P model configs, which also did not support ZSL.

The naming on these is different, as Google changed it on the Pixel 2.

HDR auto -> HDR+ with zero shutter lag (on all the time by default on new GCam versions)

HDR on -> enhanced HDR+ (you have to unlock the toggle within the app's settings)

There is no auto HDR+ anymore, as HDR+ ZSL is basically always active now.

Burst does not work on the OP6.

Processing is really fast, depending on the lighting.

Below 1 second in good lighting and up to around 1.5 seconds in bad lighting.
[Google Camera Mods] DomAlberts:
Thanks bro that actually cleared it up perfectly. But now is the "fill in the gap" method better than the 4 extra physical MPs?

Because it's only upscaling it in 12?
[Google Camera Mods] RubenMMS2:
Thanks so much for your explanation AcmE85.

Correct in my S7Edge Exynos i have activated the Nexus 6P configuration (this is why i suppose that it take more time to make the photo (i do not mean the processing of the photo that this always take his time) . So if i have understand it right the (HDR+ ON in my s7 Edge) should be the same (make the same work) as in the Oneplus 6 (HDR+ ON) and the option of HDR+ Enhanced is newer, and this is why i do not have this option in my S7 version, correct?

The processing is for me not that important... the most important for me is that the photos taken with HDR+ are super fast and that i can make

the burst with the OP6, is that possible?

One last question HDR+ activated on the Oneplus 6, means that it is always on or do the app decide if the phone needs to use the HDR+?

Thanks in advance :o
[Google Camera Mods] AcmE85:
[MENTION=4844741]RubenMMS2[/MENTION]

Nope.

"HDR+ ON" (S7) equals "enhanced HDR+" on the new versions running on Pixels and the OP6.

That's the mode which takes longer to take a shot (loading circle when pressing the shutter button).

"HDR+ on" as used in the new versions on the Pixels and the OP6 takes the shot instantly as it uses zero shutter lag.

This is the default mode and it ALWAYS uses HDR+, same as on the Pixels.

There is no auto mode anymore which would decide between HDR+ on or off.

HDR+ is always used.

Again: the OP6 has no working burst with GCam
[Google Camera Mods] RubenMMS2:
Thanks very much for your feedback and for solving my doubts :good:

As far has i have get informed the difference between HDR+ and HDR+ Enhanced is very minimal so i´m happy to know that i will get

the same quality photos in the OnePlus 6 that in my S7 Edge, but with the zero shutter lag.

I have 2 Kids and sometimes i get crazy making photos with my Gcam in my S7 (so slow the loading circle when pressing the shutter...) but the quality is so much better (front/back camera) that It's worth it, until I buy my Oneplus :o

Best regards from Barcelona

[Google Camera Mods] Franc38:
I would say so.

Our eyes are not as good as our mathematical knowledge when it comes to these sorts of things.

You may try, however and tell us what your photographer's eye sees.

Personally I'm just an hobbyist when it comes to photography (my trade is research in mathematical statistics... sometimes connected ) and I find the raisr interpolated results to be better than the 4Mp image when looked at similar scales.

[Google Camera Mods] megahead34:
After spending the weekend testing and playing with the GCam 1.3 on my OP6T, i noticed a few issues.

1) GCam freezes quite a bit, i have to force stop the app and relaunch. This happens during focusing and when I change settings. Night

2) Nightscape works but produces very grainy photos compared to the Pixel 3. I dunno if this is v1.3 only.

3) Videos sometimes over focuses making the video shaky.

4) Portraits/Selfies crashes the app intermittently

5) Slow motion is still not working (I believe this never worked)

Anyone else having these issues with v1.3? What is the best and most stable version to use?
[Google Camera Mods] RusherDude:
One question, is the night sight quality different in the later builds being used in oreo 8.1 much different than on pie? I mean.. ¿Is the same build on pie getting significatively better results with night sight?

Because on my OP6 on 8.1 im seeing mediocre night sight results in "mostly total darkness", while my friend with the pocophone is getting ****ing awesome results muuch closer to pixel 3, specially when its really dark. When its night on public scenarios with some decent sources of light, "low-light streets shots", night sight on the OP6 works like the one on the pixel 3 by what I saw, but on total darkness or mostly darkness scenarios, it's like Gcam was missing something on the OP6 on 8.1, and I highly doubt its hardware-related stuff when the pocophone can emulate it and the cameras on the 3 phones (OP6, poco and Pixel 3) are not that different in order to give such different results in near-zero light. It's most probably AI stuff (make an image, difference between pixels with 255 and 250-254 blacks, make shapes and assign colors, as was explained by google (the AI-assigned colors on objects part).

I mean, awesome work done by the devs working at this, the mod works wonders on normal light, and low-light street scenarios, but does not seem to fully work on very low light conditions for some strange reasons (maybe theres development to be done? or maybe 8.1 is a complete different world than 9.0, and results on 9.0 near-zero light are awesome too?. I wish I could upgrade now, cannot for few weeks due to work reasons).
[Google Camera Mods] AcmE85:
The pocophone has a bigger sensor. Same pixel size as the Pixel 3 actually, without OIS though.

The "perks" of buying a OnePlus device... OnePlus is just cutting corners. Their lacking camera2api is the icing on the cake.

With time I think Night Sight might also be improved for the OP6, but in terms of ISO and shutter speed performance

it will never reach the Pixel 3.

Edit: the way you put it, it behaves the same on Pie for me.
[Google Camera Mods] RusherDude:
So the Poco has a bigger pixel size? really? didn't know that. As you say, a terrible shame that this is the case. It makes no sense at all.

About your edit, you mean that on pie and on mostly completely-dark scenarios the results are just very bad on 9.0 too? :crying:. This is the first time I really regret buying this phone if this is really hardware-related and the camera2api **** again. Seriously. And the same on the 6T if they reused the camera.. oh my ****ing god..
[Google Camera Mods] AcmE85:
12 MP, f/1.9, 1/2.55", 1.4µm, dual pixel PDAF

The OP6 doesn't even have dual pixel PDAF. Where it is superior is OIS and f/1.7, even though the wider aperture is negligible in my opinion (Pixel 3 has f/1.8).

Yes. But to be honest, these situations aren't really passable on the Pixel 3 too. I wouldn't even consider taking shots in almost pitch-black. In my opinion using Night Sight in these conditions is rather to show off, than to get usable results.

The main issue with Night Sight on the OP6 is the wrong hue/white balance. It heavily tends to produce yellow/green/blue results with less available light. As of now, I think it does not use the same algorithms for white balance correction the Pixel 3 uses.

If these issues would be fixed, this would be good enough for my usage.

Keep in mind that once it passes a certain ISO due to its smaller pixel size, you will get more noise in comparison/the shutterspeed needs to be slower. Next time you compare it to the Pocophone, also take a look at the exif data.

Do you maybe have some comparison shots you could share via Google Photos?

About the camera2api, I'm not that tech-savvy when it comes to this coding stuff, but Arnova8G2 mentioned a couple times that there are certain api calls which are simply not supported by OnePlus' implementation

and he has to add workarounds for that. This is really a painful and time-consuming task.
