Looking for device with front camera that good in low light conditions. - General Topics

I work in ride-share and need a concealed video registrator so i am using my phone, however night quality is terrible when lights are off in the car, all i see is street lights.
Could you give me few android phone models that have good low light performance for front camera (face camera).
Optional i'd like to have front camera record horizontally wide video when phone is in vertical position (video orientation, 90 degree opposite to the screen orientation).

Video (call) / photo in low light condition

Just a thought. Is there an app to allow us to turn on the screen (to act as a light source) and take photo/video or make video call in low light condition?
Btw what is the resolution of the front camera? Seems rather ok (as compared with K800i, the front camera is really hopeless).

LED on while focusing?

Is there any camera app that uses the LED light while placing the focus? It's near impossible to get a sharp picture in low-light with my Desire HD.
There are ways to cut through this, though. I activate Tesla LED and keep it activated while opening my camera and sometimes and thus, use it while focusing. This is though not a sustainable solution; I would like a camera app that uses the LED in focus processing by default.
Is there one?

What is the round thing on the left of the ear piece?

I searched and read the manual but this is unclear.
I understand that on the right hand side of the earpiece there are front cam and notification LED embeded but what is the smaller round thing on the left side of it?
Thanks.
That is the light sensor. It does a couple of things. It adjusts the screen brightness depending on light level wherever you may be, and it will also deactivate your screen while you are in a call by sensing your face is near the receiver.
It must be a light sensor. Used to help with setting the automatic brightness. Might also be used to determine whether the ringtone mode should be set to "Pocket Mode" possibly, but that's just speculation. But it's a light sensor.
Thanks guys... I thought proximity sensor on the black area = light sensor
thats some alien thingy. it fires up laser if you stare at the device too long.

Camera. low light ambience. Giant issues. Help please.

Is that normal? Lenses are crystal clean!!!!!!
You didn't keep the camera steady enough, try using a tripod for low light / long exposures
Low light keeps the shutter open for longer, so any tiny movements you make will show as blur like your photo

Video recording on stock camera app and gcam

Hello all,
I have a few questions concerning the quality of video recording on stock and gcam app. Kinda disappointed about the quality, and you maybe able to tell me if it's normal or if I could fix it (first of all, sorry for my english, not my mother tongue).
I found that in 1080 30 fps, outdoor videos, the details are really poor, even with sufficient light. It seems to be "grainy" (1st link below).
Inside videos with low light (my place around 10pm with 1 ceiling light on) are very blurry, especially on the corners. The autofocus is messy (not focusing, or hardly in automatic mode, I have to go through manuel focusing, and it's not always working).
When I switch to 1080p 60 fps, the video is much darker, is that normal ? (I heard it is).
I'm running the beta 6, with the latest gcam port app.
The links I provide are google photos updates.
Do you think it's normal, or the OP6 I own has an hardware issue ?
Thanks
