[Xiaomi Poco F1 Guides, News, & Discussion] roursamajor:
Let's say I'm annoyed by annoyance of some and I decided to open this thread of discussion about photography with PocoF1.

Honestly, Gcam, by its computational photography led phone's cameras to a new level of performance. I like macro photography and I wanted to try this genre with my PocoF1. I dismantled an old telescope eyepiece ant took one of its lenses, a doublet with about 7x magnification. The working technology is simple: on your knees, on your belly to "hunt" all these little creature and pray seriously that they will not move so hard or the wind not to blow, then go to your PC to edit pictures. I use RAWs and I edit them with Lightroom desktop. Sorry for my poor english. :)

The setup is this:

So let's start. I'll post 5 pics at a time to keep posts small enough.

Photos taken with various version of Gcam (sanity and BSG):

[Xiaomi Poco F1 Guides, News, & Discussion] RichiMaru:
These pictures are amazing! Looks very much like an expensive camera. Have you taken any landscape or green elements? Would love to see those more from this thread:fingers-crossed:
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Guides, News, & Discussion] roursamajor:
Yes. Like i said, Gcam with its computational photography took the newest phone cameras and put them close to expensive cameras, from the quality point of view. Pictures have good dynamic range, good definition and very few noise. Concerning landscapes, I only tried few panoramas (using Photoscape on Gcam, Panorama don't work), but they are too large to attach them here and see all the details they reveal.

For example:

Carpathians, close to Buzau city, Romania:

Muddy volcanoes from my country:

There's so many cool insects and beautiful flowers where you are taking this picture haha. Is it taken where you live? Wonderful photos btw;)
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Guides, News, & Discussion] roursamajor:
Of course, there are subjects for (macro)photography everywhere. ;)

Maybe you want to see Danube?

I recommend to download original pictures (option in top of the page), because postimg use compression for previews and quality is low.

Hi All,

Im Wondering if there is a function to Mate 20 Pro to force a forehead like Pixel 3 XL can do.

Google how to hide notch pixel 3 will get it ( i cant post links, sorry )

The Notch is sort of killing me after i knew about pixel could do it. :(

Im running on 9.0.0.243, LYA-L29 model. btw.

[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] Eudeferrer:
There is a possibility that most Chinese phones have backdoors where the Chinese can hack then and get your info.... At least that is what I understand from what our government is telling us about chinesse produced Telecom equipment (not that I agree with it all...but just the fact that it could be a possibility is enough for me to want to stay away).

[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] NippleSauce:
What did people who switched from OnePlus to Pixels dislike about the OnePlus phones (aside from potential security holes for the Chinese government - I couldn't care less if they were spying on me).

I was considering trading my 3XL for the OP7Pro as that 90hz display looked amazing when playing with it in the store.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] jr313:
I don't worry about the whole Chinese government conspiracy theories. lol. I personally changed back because I love the pure android google experience, I don't like any slight change or deviation no matter how small. Oneplus isn't far from it but once you've used pure android (for me) nothing really ever compares. I even rooted and installed the pixel experience rom and it got me close but it wasn't the same coming from a pixel 2XL. Since I've switched I have no itch or thought to unlock my bootloader or want to flash anything. Don't get me wrong it is a beautiful phone but its not for me.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] LimitsX:
Lol, this has to be a joke right? Pixel 3 XL may lack more than 4GB ram, but it is far more superior device than oneplus will ever be.

Software experience and Camera is just galaxies away from oneplus. I personally would never ever consider oneplus over pixel devices, or any other android flagships. Oneplus is just getting too big headed.

They are charging $1000+ CAD. Way too overpriced.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] malek777:
There’s zero objectivity in your statements. A pixel 3 XL 128gb in Canada costs 1260 dollars so I’m not sure how the price is a factor here for what you get.

Plus I wouldn’t go as far as saying the pixel 3 is galaxies ahead in software and camera. The software is almost identical with tweaks baked in by OnePlus. The pixel takes better pics but that doesn’t mean OnePlus is horrible. You cant just pick and choose things to suit your bias. What about the screen , 855, ram, cooling, 3 focal camera lengths and larger battery lol
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] Alekos:
I was so close to selling my Pixel 3 XL, it's in amazing condition, not one scratch, and still has 8 month warranty...

BUT

I can't stand curved edges. The way I hold a phone, it would drive me crazy. Why in the world would they curve the edges? Crazy.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] Reuben_skelz92:
To be fair the OnePlus 7 pro is the newest generation and it still can't match the pixel for camera. But no point comparing until the pixel 4 .
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] JagXK8:
THIS :good:. When all these new phones came out i was itching to get them. S10+ and now Oneplus 7 pro. Just have to wait a couple of months to see what Google will do with the Pixel 4.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] Reuben_skelz92:
Exactly. Of course op has a better screen, processer etc. It's a 2019 phone..pixel 3 is a 2018 phone lol
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] Namolas:
Just to be clear, where exactly did you think your Pixel 3XL was manufactured? Says made in China right on the box. Just pointing that out, not looking for an argument. :good:
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] Reuben_skelz92:
Was tempted with the 7 pro but the camera is woeful right now
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] Eudeferrer:
I think even if it's manufactured in China, it is made to American standards. There may be a point there, though.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] WhiteHartMart:
Almost pressed the button on launch day then came to my senses. The OP7 is too tall and heavy imo. No wireless charging and an indifferent camera performance put me off also - as well as the curved screen. More than happy sticking with a 3xl and waiting for the 4.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] jamezr:
Almost bought one on Swappa for 675 a couple days ago. But the curved display and no wireless charging....and that camera changed my mind.

The camera is better than previous OnePlus models but not where near my P3XL
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] nocaps:
I just auditioned the Pixel 3 XL vs the OnePlus 7 Pro with the intention of keeping one or the other. I kinda expected that (due to the superiority on paper) I would be selecting the OnePlus, but after a week of comparing in day-to-day use the Pixel XL came out on top and it's the OnePlus that's going back. The OnePlus has a Snapdragon 855 and 8 GB of RAM and is about the fastest Android phone available right now, but in all the comparisons I could think of to try the Pixel 3 was milliseconds close in speed, frequently nearly identical. The OnePlus might have had a slight edge here and there but nothing that would result in any meaningful increase in usability. Same with the touted 90 fps screen, slightly smother but... meh, not really worth the battery hit. Overall I like the Pixel screen better, although it is lacking in daylight brightness compared to the OnePlus. The main problem with the OnePlus for me was the curved screen and the annoying edge distortion. I don't understand all the histrionics by reviewers regarding 'the NOTCH!' on the XL because it really isn't visible all that often while the edge distortion on the OnePlus is there 100% of the time. I really don't get the curved edge fad, it's just a downgrade in usability for nothing in return. The camera in the OnePlus seemed pretty good and competitive with top tier phones but in spite of me trying to tell myself otherwise the simple truth is the the Pixel 3, single lens and all, clearly beat the OnePlus image 90% of the time.

All in all a good example of raw specs not telling the whole story and although not superior in every area the Pixel just seems like a better package overall. Oxygen UI actually wasn't that bad with little additional bloat, but I preferred pure Google (not to mention the immediate updates.) The Pixel 3 XL may be a little overpriced but it is simply a solid phone that focuses on usability over fads, which is what I am looking for. And FWIW I've had zero issues with the P3XL, maybe because I bought late after all the bug fix releases but whatever, it's just been flawless for me so far.

I didn't really consider waiting for the Pixel 4 as it is an unknown at this point and will probably be pretty expensive with no discounts when it is finally introduced, I prefer to wait a while after intro for bugs to be fixed and the price to drop. Given that, I just didn't want to wait that long and a mature Pixel 3 at a $250 discount (at current street prices) was more attractive than waiting for the 4.

[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] malek777:
After using both phones , I can say OnePlus is much much smoother. Animations are butter, there’s zero stutter. It’s even smoother than my iPhone XS. Build quality is better than the pixel 3. The screen is hands down way better on the OnePlus with more options to tweak it. No wireless but warp charging is way too good. Battery is also better on the op7 with QHD and 90hz.

The main sensor and the telephoto one are both good, the wide angle is trash. I haven’t tried gcam yet.

Overall it’s an excellent phone, better than the pixel 3 XL imo.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] nocaps:
Screen way better on the OnePlus? In terms of resolution, no. Color accuracy, no. Brightness, yes. Smoothness, yes, but the difference is usually way overstated. It's perceptible but not a big deal, and after the novelty wore off I think I'd rather save the 10-15% battery that people say that it takes. It doesn't stutter, but neither does the P3XL. Oh, and... obnoxious edge distortion, yes. ;) I know that last one is particularly subjective but man, try it before you buy it is all I can say.

My results were that battery life on the OnePlus in standard configuration was inferior to the P3XL (but it's probably better than the P3.) If you set the display to 60 fps then it may match the XL or be a bit better. And the OnePlus uses a proprietary fast charge method requiring only their chargers while the P3XL uses the standard USB-C PD (Power Delivery) system, supported by many vendors. I like to use a Belkin wireless charging stand ($39.95), supports the full 10 watts (2 amps) and brings the battery up pretty quickly, almost as fast as a wired fast charger.

Cameras... yes, the OnePlus wide angle is trash, I wouldn't even use it. The telephoto is better but lags the main camera (this is the cost of multiple cameras at a price point, you have to compromise on each instead of using one higher-quality unit.) The main camera is decent but overexposes pretty badly (and the Pixel slightly underexposes but I like that effect better.) Overall sharpness and color balance? Other than the occasional outlier, not even close to the P3XL. The OnePlus main camera also does pretty decently under low light but again, not a match to the P3XL, and forget using the OnePlus telephoto under low light. All in all the OnePlus has a competitive camera and is quite satisfactory, but it's simply not as good as the S10 or P3XL and virtually any review will agree. I do like the OnePlus pop-up front camera, I think that's clever and worth the added complexity. The front camera image quality is also so-so, but since I rarely use it and I'd rather have the screen space back so I do give the OnePlus props for that feature.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] malek777:
The OnePlus has the same resolution as the pixel 3 , I’m not sure what you’re referring to.

A lot of the facts you stated are incorrect, I’m not sure if you actually have the phone. If by auditioned you mean you went into a store and compared the 2 that would make more sense.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] MHB1638:
I owned the OP7 for a few days and the screen was amazing. Battery life was amazing. Camera-horrible. I even ported the GCAM to it and still terrible. Its currently boxed up waiting for tomorrow to ship back. I currently own a Note 9 (I use to own a P3XL) and considering going back to a P3XL. Haven't decided. Nothing wrong with my Note (especially with Gcam port), just like Googles features over Sammmys. Only think Samsung has that I like is the pretty led light around the phone for notifications....otherwise, its nothing special.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] nocaps:
I had both phones in my hands for about a week and compared them and their respective cameras under all conditions I could think of, and those are my impressions. Disagreeing with you does not necessarily make them incorrect.

Both phones were great in their own right and each had various pluses and minuses, but ultimately I decided to return the OnePlus 7 Pro and keep the Pixel XL. It was just the more day-to-day usable of the two, for me.

[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] whelmar:
Agree with what you've stated. I bought the 7 pro, used it for a week...Just asked for an RMA... it's the subtle little things that the Pixel 3XL does that make it a great phone, and to me, a superior one than the latest new thing...
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] cocolish:
I've messed everything up and now I'm devastated!

My S8 stucks at the very first screen (where it says: SAMSUNG GALAXY S8 - powered by android). It doesn't boot further this very specific screen. I have tried to update Magisk and Magisk Manager but only Magisk Manager seems to get updated successfully while the app suddenly says that the latest version of Magisk Manager required Magisk V19.XX hence I've tried to install it via TWRP. According to log screen, I've managed to install magisk via TWRP but after booting up, I opened Magisk Manager where it now says that Magisk isn't installed. I therefore boot into TWRP and tried to fix it since some apps of mine that required root access wasn't working anymore. So, I thought I must have lost root access. I once again boot into recovery, I uninstalled magisk and install an older version of magisk and magisk manager and also the no_verity patch. After that my Galaxy S8 won't boot up. It just stucks at the very first screen. My S8 (international version) is still on Nougat stock samsung firmware and I can enter TWRP but the phone remains freeze and stubbornly refused to boot up.

I'm quite devastated and I hope you guys can help me fix this issue!

Thank you!

Are there any solutions other than flashing a custom rom? Meanwhile, I have managed to flash Android 9 via ODIN and have TWRP installed but it won't boot up and stucks at the very first booting screens.

Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] spawnlives:
Have you tried just flashing stock rom only to see if it boots up. You may have to do a clean install.

Problem sounds like you haven't decrypted phone and flashed no verity zip file.

You won't need to flash a custom rom to fix this.

As for magisk have a look through this very helpful guide for installs and troubleshooting.

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] cocolish:
I've managed to solve this issue by myself. But still, thank you so much! It's the thought that counts ? And yes, I've figured out that I haven't decrypt my S8. But everything is absolutely fine now and I feel extremely relieved. It took me 1 day to fix this major issue and I've encountered lots of difficulties while trying to fix this like bootloops, system won't boot up and managed to stuck at the very first booting screen again and the phone boot past the first booting screen and stucks at the second booting screen, and also bootloader error and stuffs like where realization hit me that I can't restore my nandroid backup while still on Nougat because after restoring it won't boot up. I therefore managed to flash Android 9 and twrp. My S8 is now on Android Pie with custom recovery and rooted (via Magisk).

It's a faulty battery. At least it sounds like it to me. If there's still warranty you could sent it to the support. Within warranty the one time exchange of the battery is free.
