How is the camera quality on the GrapheneOS phones?
- celsoazevedo 1y agoGrapheneOS' own camera app doesn't have Google's propriety processing, so it's not as good as stock, but with Pixel devices, you can install the original Google Camera/Pixel Camera app and get the original camera quality.
- strcat 1y agoGrapheneOS Camera does have hardware accelerated HDR+ and Night mode along with HDRnet and EIS for videos on Pixels. Photos in Pixel Camera look different because the HDR+ it uses by default is more aggressive resulting in higher contrast but a less natural look. Both are using HDR+ with hardware acceleration though. Videos are more similar and Night mode photos likely are too.
- shaky-carrousel 1y agoBut I think Pixel Camera does some kind of sharpening post-processing, because I get blurry images sometimes with GrapheneOS Camera while almost never with Pixel Camera.
- strcat 1y agoCamera quality is the same within the same app on either. Pixel Camera can be used on GrapheneOS with full features and photo/video quality if you want it. GrapheneOS Camera has support for HDR+ on Pixels for regular photos and has Night mode too. It has EIS and HDRnet for video recording. It has a single exposure slider rather than their dual exposure sliders. It uses each of the cameras via zoom level / light level in the same way. More advanced features and configuration are being added to it over time. Pixel Camera has more features and the HDR+ it uses is more aggressive which makes the photos look higher contrast than a more natural look.
