Moto x4 shutter speed for longer than 1/3 seconds? - Moto X4 Questions & Answers

I have a moto x4 running havoc-os pie. Really snappy performance and overall a great experience. The only limitation on this phone is the shutter speed. Other phones such as the BQ Aquaris X PRO and Nokia 8 sirocco with the same sensor have 4s -32s exposure times. There has to be a way to either port those camera features or simply remove the limitation on this phone. Any idea on how I could go about this? As far as I know it has a Samsung S5K2L7 isocell sensor.

Using the 2x zoom for portraits.

Hello
I have been reading different articles and reviews about the P10 since i'm considering buying it. For instance i read a comparison between the P10 and a iPhone 7s taking portrait fotos. The big advantage with the iPhone 7s was the 54 mm "telefoto lens". The P10 though, was way better in the low light performance. But my question is. Is the 2x zoom on the P10 just a feature or can it be use along with the features, such as the focus changer (f-stops). And will it affect lowlight performance? In other words will it work like using the optical zoom on a dedicated camera?

Photo quality

Say "cheese", then rate this thread to express how photos taken with the Xiaomi Redmi Note 6 Pro come out. A higher rating indicates that photos offer rich color (without over-saturating), sharp detail (with all subjects in-focus), and appropriate exposure (with even lighting).
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
I'm really happy with the photo quality on this phone, it's pretty good for the price (and in case anyone is wondering, yes, it's better than the Note 5 Pro). I'm satisfied with it but I still can't wait for someone to bring the Pixel Camera to this device, I'm sure it could improve the picture quality even more.

I don't know about teh software upgrade, but if you look at the review of the Note 6 Pro in GSM Arena, go to 5.Camera and open the "photo compare tool", and select the Redmi Note 5 AI for comparison, the picture quality is much better than the Note 6.
The camera is supposed to be the same, but Note 6 seems to have excessive noise reduction and much less detail.
Anybody knows why?

I'm running latest MIUI software versions and the daylight quality shots with stock camera is excellent.
The night shot quality could be improved when compared with GCam.
Regards,
Photo quality is good, but I do not see as many details as with my previous J7 2015 (when I zoom in). But the overall image quality is much better (real colors, good lighting) .
I am disappointed with the camera cause the Mi A2 has better camera.

Hi
I have enabled cam2api with root (magisk) on a custom ROM (lineageos 17) and I cannot find a camera app that uses the full capacity of the phone cameras. I only get one 12MP on the rear camera and one 5MP on the front camera. I used gcam, open cam, lineageos snap...
Normally (on stock MIUI) it's a dual 12MP and 5MP cameras on the front and dual 20MP and 2MP cameras on the rear.
Does anyone know how to get the full capacity of the phone's cameras without going back to MIUI global ?

I think you said it otherwise: RN6Pro has on front a 20MP main and 2MP lens to depth and on rear, 12MP and 5MP lens.
I am using the Official 20200602 Lineage OS build and i can take photos with:
- The snap camera on rear can be shot with 20MP resolution and the front with 5MP.
- The Miui flashalble zip camera for android 10 can reach full resolution, but lack of front camera on manual mode.

Hi, I also have the official lineageos and tried to flash the canera after mounting system and vendor in TWRP but the app doesn't work. I don't know where I went wrong
*EDIT*
Actually it's working, I had to authorise access to camera in the properties
I'm still using the stock camera on stock ROM. Couldn't enable api2 as any attempts to unlock my bootloader have failed. I like the photo quality better than my wife's new 9 Pro Max. MP difference aside, there is less visible noise in 6 pro vis-a-vis 9 Pro Max. Same applies to selfie camera as well.
However, I do like the macro camera of 9 Pro max, and wish there was night mode on 6 Pro as well. Mi could just enable camera 2 API out of the box, but chooses not to for some reason.
Redmi note 6 pro image quality
The image quality is quite good. In this low budget price range Note 6 pro giving such good quality images. But after the latest update, the image quality is reduced. Idk it only happens to me or every Redmi Note 6 pro user will face this issue!!

The perfect smartphone

Just some fun food for thought....
What attributes of what phones would make your perfect smart phone?
For me,
body dimensions, the height of a pixel 3, width of my old nexus 6p (dont like how modern smaller smartphones are more narrow)
5.5" screen & smaller bezels of the pixel 3
great front facing speakers of my old nexus 6p.
pixel 3s camera
specs & battery of the oneplus 6t
stock android
if I just described a phone that already exists, let me know lol
Give me a Sony Z Ultra with updated hardware.
Wait, isn't that what a Note 9 is ??
One Plus 6T is the best phone right now.
XIAOMI Mi 8 ?
Galaxy S10 maybe?

Its good value for the price but its far from perfect since Xiaomi cuts corners on hardware. The amoled display on the Mi8 is subpar for instance, and theres comon display issues like color banding, poor led backlighting etc. And theres always the luck of the draw issue with Xiaomi with some people getting better hardware.
The perfect smartphone :
5.5" borderless
B20 & B28
NFC
Fingerprint under screen
Face ID with the same or more secure than iPhone
A little notch for the Face ID and face camera
Please chinese constructor, create this smartphone (Xiaomi Mi9 )
Stock Android Phones are perfect
6” 18:9 1440p Super AMOLED Display
No notch, holes or curves in display
Front facing speakers as loud or louder the the G7 or Razer Phone
Bezels not to big or smalls. My hands wrap around those kinds of phones and mess up things.
16MP Wide angle and standard lenses front and back with Google Camera Port
In display finger print reader
Near stock Android with extra features like AOD
32bit DAC with, oh a headphone jack
Type C fast charging and Wireless charging
SD Card slot
Snapdragon 855 or newer
A large enough battery to power it all for a reasonable amount of time
What else...
To me it sound like the V40 and Pixel 3 XL had a baby
In my case:
No notch. Even if it can be disabled, it's still annoying to have initially.
Nothing bigger than 6" for screen size. My pocket isn't ready for bigger.
Decent camera. I'm not asking wonders here, just decent night shots.
Good battery life. I expect it at least live out 9 hours with intensive use(YouTube, games, etc) on 4G.
At least good mid-range CPU.
NFC.
Front-facing fingerprint sensor, can be under screen.
Capacitive back and menu buttons. Most if not all new phones lack this. I could live with gestures, but this is about the perfect smartphone for me.
Not required, but nice to have: Able to survive most short drops(no more than 30cm) without any damage.
For me, the perfect phone is:
a display no larger than 4.7 inches, this is best in my hand
good camera around 12.0 Mpix
built-in memory min. 32 GB
iOS 7 or newer operating system
For me the best phone I've ever had is Iphone 6s, light and comfortable and most importantly indestructible
For me the perfect phone is,
5.5 inch display of samsung
speakers of razer phone 2
Camera of pixel 3
Battery capacity of POCO
flagship processor
Build of an iphone
price of xiaomi
6" Screen
1440p screen
5g connectivity
dual band GPS
wireless charging
triple camera array
No phone is perfect every brand lags somewhere.
I have lots of mobile/tablet due to my work on mobile development.
Still iPhone gave the best UE imo. Now I'm trying the Huawei Honor 10, the design it pretty great.
Much better than Pixel. I'm not sure the very high end mobile for now, iPhone still being my main mobile since all my information was saved on iCloud.
Moviphone with hd
Build of an iPhone
Display of samsung
Battery like Nokia(3310)
Performance like Oneplus
Pricing like Redmi.
Camera like Pixel.
5" or 5.3" borderless display (no notch)
amoled screen with decent ppi
good camera with zoom, must shoot perfect photos also at night
good battery
good gps, must sync in max 2-3 s
android stock pre-rooted and without crapware
some additional physical buttons (to use with pbmc). Volume buttons like in LG G2 would be nice.
no lags, all apps must start instantly
iPhone XS max.
oh, here we go....
7" 16:9 3D (glasses not needed, similar to what vizio made years ago and 3DS) 4k (8k if possible) dolby vision screen with bezels so a thick and heavy duty case can go on it...
high megapixel cameras (with led flashes) with good lenses that have sliding covers to cover the lenses when not in use...
Dual large and clean sounding speakers with dolby atmos
ufs 3.0 1TB storage
16GB Ram
855 plus processor
clean install of android with root support
10000mah battery
usb c 4.0
3.5mm jack
hdmi out
capable of passing 3D out the hdmi to a tv or projector
LTE bands 2, 4, 5, 12, 66, and 71
5G support
AX aka wifi 6 built in
I would be satisfied with all that

Samsung Galaxy S10 plus

The Galaxy S10 Plus is Samsung's new 'everything device' for 2019, disturbing the equivalence of the last barely any ages of handsets. Its 6.4-inch screen is so huge it uproots the front camera, while its triple-focal point back camera can take ultra-wide photographs. Concealed advantages like an in-screen unique mark sensor and Wireless PowerShare offer a lot of clever highlights – simply know Samsung is requesting a ton of cash, as well.
Why you should purchase like me Samsung Galaxy S10 in addition to is this more prominent than Samsung Galaxy S9 in addition to?
The new highlights presented in the Galaxy Note 10 territory may have made the S10 territory feel somewhat obsolete, yet that won't be the situation for any longer. On September 23, Samsung will be porting some of the Note 10's best new highlights to the Galaxy S10 plus territory, including AR Doodle, Live Focus Video, the refreshed Samsung Dex work area mode, and that's only the tip of the iceberg.
First of all, I’ll give you key features on Samsung Galaxy S10 Plus
6.4’’ inches Dynamic Amoled punch hole full view display and 93.2% screen to body ratio.
There has superior chipset Qualcomm Snapdragon SDM855 7nm chipset
Octa-core 2.73Ghz *2 clockwise speed.
Internal storage can get in 128GB / 8GB RAM, 512GB / 8GB RAM, 1TB / 12GB RAM
Selfie camera 10 MP, (wide), Dual Pixel PDAF
8 MP, (wide), depth sensor
Main Camera 12 MP, f/1.5-2.4, 26mm (wide), 1/2.55", 1.4µm, Dual Pixel PDAF, OIS
12 MP, f/2.4, 52mm (telephoto), 1/3.6", 1.0µm, AF, OIS, 2x optical zoom
16 MP, f/2.2, 12mm (ultrawide), 1.0µm, Super Steady video
AKG Dolby Atmos sound
Li-ion 4100 MAh battery with 15W fast charging
I got more compatibility with s10 plus except for S10
The S10 territory's as of now fit camera is certainly getting the greatest lift, with included highlights from the Note 10 including the Live Focus Video that foggy spots foundations around a subject, and the fiendish AR Doodle that gives you a chance to draw on faces in enlarged reality — but at the same time it's getting a Night Mode for the forward-looking camera, upgraded video adjustment, and the Note 10's video editorial manager.

9t pro camera vs realme x2 camera, what's better?

So I'm nearly going to bite the bullet and get a 9t (maybe just in new year...)
And then I start seeing stuff on the realme x2... Now I would rather have 9ts popup selfy than the tear drop, privacy concerns and aesthetics....
But the 90hz screen on the x2 has also intrigued me...
But I'm also really buying the phone for the cameras as well. I do YouTube videos and I'm looking for a phone with decent cameras. Trouble is I struggle to find good comparisons between these phones apart from a couple of side by side YouTube video, and the authors don't even talk about what's better where.
So has anyone really done a proper comparison? What camera does better colour accuracy? What's getting better detail and light?
The MP value on both phones is bogus as they're advertising the software upscaling value and not the sensors native resolution... Does anyone know what they really are?
And is the 90hz really that much better?
I'm still leaning towards the 9t pro, but should I?
Compared to 9T Pro, X2 Pro camera has lower noise at night mode, and better dynamic range (both in HDR mode or not).
But it has less contrast, which can be affected to the details even with that big 64MP resolution.
The color production for me is way more natural at X2 Pro, 9T Pro got over-saturated mostly, but that's matter of choice though.
The ultra-wide mode on X2 Pro already has AF on it (unlike 9T Pro, which still using fixed focus).
Also, don't forget about macro lenses on the X2 Pro too.
> And is the 90hz really that much better?
Yes, it's like night and day. it feels way more smoother than regular 60Hz display.
Well it's not actually usable at gaming scene, but it's still satisfying to use at daily cases.
For camera i prefer 9T. Because Xiaomi doing really awesome tweaks in cameras, dxo mark of 9T is greater than pixel 3.
Xiaomi really improved a lot in camera, also in OS updates ...
I was on the same boat as you, before I chose to pick Mi 9T Pro over Realme X2 Pro, and I've tried both phone up-close before I made my decision. Anyway here is purely my opinion on both phone.
Realme X2 Pro
+ 90Hz display. (Undeniably nice)
+ Faster processor.
+ Stereo speaker with Dolby but the top speaker noticeably weak.
+ Official HDR10+ certified.
+ Very slightly faster fingerprint scanner.
+ UFS 3.0.
+ Very fast charging, although the phone does get warmer than K20 Pro on fast charging.
+ PDAF even on ultrawide lens.
Mi 9T Pro / K20 Pro
+ Overall better camera output despite equipped with older/lesser hardware. (My priority)
+ Wider FoV ultrawide-angle lens.
+ Laser AF, important for low-light close-up shot.
+ Notch-free display.
+ Slightly better display color-accuracy albeit without HDR10+ support. (2nd priority)
+ Very slightly longer screen on time.
+ Better aesthetic IMO.
+ Better software support both for users and developers.
+ Bit cheaper.
In conclusion, given the price, Realme X2 Pro is a good choice for gamer or if photo quality is not necessarily important to you (I'm a media photographer). Its not bad at all, its just my personal judgement from my experience fiddling around with both phone. As for performance, both performs identical in day to day usage but there is a catch, SD 855+ run games at 90FPS (not much games for now) will sometimes reach thermal-throttling threshold a bit quick, so I suggest leave it at 60, and dont worry, its still smooth.
