  • I don’t have white balance controls that I can see, or a slider for shutter speed (even if it does have an option for bracketing there isn’t much I can control on it). ISO selection is also missing. Controls for other things seem to be there but the interface has less information, I have no idea of what values I have for anything. I do appreciate the option for flashlight on, that’s handy, and postprocessing seems less aggressive than my default camera.




  • I don’t understand why this matters that much- my old phone is a Motorola g8 plus, current one is a moto g84 5g and is about a year old. The camera isn’t the selling point for either but I would expect at least similar quality since it’s considered an “upgrade”(not that I had a choice there).

    Default camera apps for both, Android obviously.








  • Motorola g8 plus. The photos online do no justice, you need to hold the phone and see it. It had a shiny case, sort of metallic, sort of iridescent, it gave the impression of being made of thick glass over metal or something. The only phone I never wanted a case for, I only used transparent ones for it because nothing out there could look better than the phone itself.

    If it weren’t for a forced upgrade to 5g network in my country I’d still be using it.

    Edit: here, I’ve made a gif of it. It still doesn’t look as good. The camera doesn’t get the change of color to purple, and the gradient from dark to light gets lost. The reflection on the surface also throw the camera off. But all that said, it’s better than a still photo.
