I feel that the hardware is not to be blamed here...
The software here is at fault..
The superior auto mode is not so superior in its job(it's ok if you want to capture something real-quick)... But if you want the best from the hardware you'll have to turn to manual controls...(Camera FV-5 is the best app I know for that)
Jpeg compression is just too much here...thus we can see the lack of detail in some photos(macro)
To get the best of the camera,My suggestions are as follows :-
If you like the stock camera app... 1)Turn off superior auto mode... Switch to manual mode
2) set the ISO at 200 (max) for daylight photography,,,,400 for twilight
3) HDR off
4) metering mode set to average
And if you still want better results:
1) install Camera FV-5 (full version support developer )
2) go to settings -> photo encoding settings -> file format -> set it to PNG ( it takes some seriously huge pics (15 mb..)
3) now apply all the manual controls mentioned above
If you think what difference does the above methods do to the quality of the photos... Take a photo with normal method (superior auto) and then manual method... And then compare..
If you feel that I've helped you in anyway, please hit the thank button

Nokia camera

Hi Everyone,
These days phones with bokeh or portrait mode doesn't zoom in the picture but when we enable Nokia camera in bokeh mode, it zooms in as compared to regular mode. Anyway to disable the zoom in bokeh mode in Nokia camera?

I think it's just how the live bokeh works. The phone uses the telephoto lens as the main camera capturing images, and the normal lens as secondary camera capturing depth. Correct me if I'm wrong

AI camera vs normal camera over exposure?

When using the AI camera option it makes everything so coloured it does not look natural at all, is this a certain settings in manual because I don't know how to take good pics.

Very simply! Use other smartphone than Honor Play.

[Q] Does anybody know any app/flashable mod that allows for manual controls on the Telephoto lens? (No Live Focus exploit.)

Google Camera and Open Camera cannot even access the Telephoto lens. The stock Samsung app only allows you to use the Telephoto lens only during daytime, at night it defalults to digital zooming and also there is no lens switching in the Pro mode.
The only way of using the Telephoto lens is to go to Live Focus and set blur to 0. And you can't even zoom further in that mode.
HTC, Sony, LG, etc. phones allow manual mode on all of the rear cameras.
Is there any flashable modded Samsung camera that allows full manual mode on both rear cameras? Or an app that has deeper control over the cameras?
Well... It would be nice to have manual on the ultrawide front camera too like a lot of phones have. And access to the infrared one too, like on all the Xiaomi devices with that one app that doesn't work on Samsung devices because it's locked out from the user. But still... Manual mode for the Telephoto lens would be good enough for now.
