The OnePlus 5T proved to be quite a challenge when it came to the ported Gcam app, while other Devices just worked. Apparently this was due to some weird Software/Firmware handling by OnePlus.
Has there been any info yet, on how OnePlus is handling their Camera on the 6? The Hardware has changed, but are they still using Camera API1 like on the 5T?
Btw...when will we start Seeing Reviews? Test Samples should be out there, but currently they still have some kind of NDA or Press embargo...
camera2 API is enabled by default
Good news. If you already have the OnePlus 6, can you test one of the recent Gcam Ports? Thanks!

don´t work
App crashed when you open it
im curious about this embargo
so many people have the op6 and no one is talking about it in depth
im really curious about VOLTE and camera performance
if it doesnt have VOLTE then thats a no go for me
and as for camera, i have a p20 pro, i love the camera (i hate the selfie cam its so soft and beautified)
id hop on the op6 if the camera can come somewhat close to the p20 pro (i.e dxomark rating in the 3x digits) or atleast top 5 phones.
i had a 5T before my P20 pro and i really miss the speed and fluidity of it, and the ram management on the p20 pro is noticably sub-par
my op5t was incredibly quick, and its noticable that the p20 pro is somewhat slower.
The embargo seems to be gone now. The first Reviews are out, but still quite superficial. It will probably take a bit for the more thorough tests...

@ detritu5
Coul you check camera2probe to check which hardware level it supports?

The 5T reports Level 3, but all three options below are then crossed out. What does the 6 say?

It has dual sim volte support
Would like to know if it works too.
I am planning on getting the s8+, but if oneplus 6 got gcam, I might consider it
User latomeri on Reddit ran the camera probe and got "Full" for back and "Limited" for front.
I'm not allowed to post the URL here because I'm a new XDA user, you can see it at
reddit.com / r / oneplus / comments / 8kwiu7 / questions_for_those_who_already_have_the_device
A missing camera2api implementation was never the issue.
Also, it needs to be full because it has to support raw.
The issue is the wrong raw stream in hal3 which gets provided by the driver to the Google Camera.
Before anyone asks, I canceled my order so I don't have the OP6.
Wont buy until gcam support is confirmed.

Yes.
Full
Since the 5T reports no support and the 6 says Full, there does seem to be a difference. Let's see how it goes...

Full. If I'm not mistaken, that's actually worse than level 3
Interesting.
My OnePlus 6 arrived today, and the Gcam V7 beta 9 seems to work, but I don't think HDR+ is actually functional...at least it doesn't look like it...
Other Gcam version just fc on launch, but I haven't tried them all yet obviously...
From what I just read, Level3 is actually needed for RAW capture, so that might act be the problem with Gcam HDR+?
Any updates ?? somebody are working on a port?
From reading around, it appears that the Snapdragon 845 just isn't compatible with Gcam. Once we get a new Pixel with SB845 that will change. Whether someone can crewte a workaround before then is uncertain...
We just need to wait for GCam to be ported to SD845.
Hi,
I've been saving to get a Mi 9T pro for quite some time... and of course now it isn't available at a reasonable price, so my eyes are on a Poco F2 Pro (i live in Europe right now).
My only requirements would be:
mandatory:
- headphone jack (check)
- Super AMOLED without bloody hole (who would do that??) (can you confirm it is a super amoled screen like mi 9T pro and Mi 9 lite, not just amoled (like Mi 9T) please?) (check i guess)
slightly less important:
- stereo speakers (not checked, i live w/o it i guess! cause in that price range i can't find anything, specially with the 2 first requirements)
- microSD slot (ok i'll plug it more often then...)
and last but not least:
- good community regarding development, tweaks, custom roms and so on => will this one be checked one day ? What do you think ? I see sources are out but missing a lot of parts... are people gonna get some enthusiasm on that phone at one point ? (so, yeah, if somebody could tell me the future ^^ and the next lottery numbers while you're at it...)
So, well, maybe I'm too demanding, what do you guys think, and is there a way to be happy with stock MIUI (debloating?) to begin with ?
Sorry if all of that was already address, I take my chances asking my concern to the community before I buy anything as it is a big expense for me.
THANKS A LOT for your time and your help
Cheers !
I would suggest getting Mi9T pro/K20 Pro or better yet get One plus 7T pro. I have K30 Pro Zoom edition and K20 Pro.
To your points:
Both have headphone jack.
Both very nice screen. K30Pro/PocoF2 Pro has bigger screen. There are reports here that the poco F2 Pro may have yellow/green tint. Mine has perfect screen no issues
Stereo has K20Pro ... sort of, if u mod it otherwise no stereo for both phones
No SD Card slot for both.
Also both have USB 2.0 speed on USB C port. Speed is around 30 MB/s
I will bet poco F2 pro will not get development community as did K20 Pro.
I use on both phones Chinese MIUI with heavy debloatet script and magisk module. I have better experience this way than any other ROM (even miui eu)
Hesitating between the OnePlus Nord and the F2 Pro too, considering the F2 is vastly superior for less than 100 bucks more. If only I had some time to get back in the dev community... Some OmniROM on this things would be nice

OnePlus Nord seems nice, but:
slighty less processing power (still a lot)
LPDDR4X RAM vs LPDDR5 (still totally fine!!)
no cooling system
no LED (lol)
no jack
no IR (^^)
but:
maybe better screen (a bit smaller though)
probably better camera (OIS)
lighter weight (but no IP and plastic design)
so that could do it...
BUT.... has a f*** hole in the screen !
Let us know if you pick one
And may the time be with you one day to build some code
Cheers !

How do you compare the screen of K20 Pro and F2 pro ?
Same same ?
One plus 7T pro seems nice, still expensive though, and no jack -p) but good development i guess...

What? No, the f2 has better screen. Well as long as you don't care about Refresh rate. But touch sampling is better 120 Vs 180 on the f2
Camera is better on the f2 even with ois

I can not say for Poco F2 Pro/K30 Pro as I have the Zoom edition (different hardware) but the Zoom has slightly brighter screen than K20 Pro. I had for the short time Oneplus 7T pro. it had better color accuracy and 90 Hz

It will get bettter development community than K20 pro lol. Just wait for it to launch in India and you'll see official custom ROMs in just 4-5 weeks.

Source for that release date?
Because I just read that India will not get the phone at all!
Amazing phone, but MIUI with zero custom rom development is a no-go for me.
I have the poco f2 pro and owned 2 mi9t pro before as well. The phone is not bad but not great. Have it over a month now, miui 12 was a nice improvement but I see some bugs since the update. The screen sometimes go dark and take a good few seconds to recover. Happened when using chrome or various other apps. I had to even reboot at one point because it didn't recover. I know a wipe could resolve the issue just too lazy to do it and I only see the above bug a few times.
Comparing to the mi9t pro it has much nicer features such as the harptic feedback is nicer. Camera and touch response is also better, not even mention the longer battery life. However due to the size and weight I did find the mi9t pro much more usable. I have small hand and for me does require 2 hands to operate cause I cannot reach much with one hand.
Custom rom does exist check xiaomi.eu but its very limited compare how the mi9t pro\k20 pro was. I'm not planning to mess around with roms just wanted a device which works, this doesn't really bothers me.
Is it worth it? Hmm the market is fludded with good devices, if you want a full screen display there isn't much option available, the cut out or teardrop style is more common then anything else. The answer is subjective but owning the device I may look around and chose a different one.
Since this phone will 100% sure get Android 11 , I think most logical way forward (from dev perspective) is wait for that release before doing any custom ROM. Doing it now with current release base (its buggy too) is probably waste of time.
This is not the first phone with the same situation happened before.
I own both mi9t pro 128gb and k30 pro 256gb (zoom edition) and I can certainly says it surely an upgrade especially when you do gaming often.
Im not sure about everybody else, but in my experience, mi9t pro do stutter in games from time to time which I suspect comes from thermal throttling. On the other hand, my k30 pro did not have such issue at all. Mind you, it was both on miui 12 latest stable rom.
Oh yes, plus the added benefit of getting UFS 3.1, LPDDR5, bigger battery, IR blaster, faster charging, bigger battery, latest chipset, 5G (future-proofing), and most importantly for me, the OIS on both telephoto and main camera lens enable me to take long exposure and night shot without those blurry image. 3x telephoto lens not just better in zooming but also double as macro lens with AF! I can zoom up to 30x and have a decent moon-shot, albeit not so great but still good enough. All in all, its well worth to be considered as an upgrade.
Before i forgot, yes the screen is definitely super amoled, which comes with good factory-calibration on "Standard" or "Original" mode. P3 and sRGB mode as preset are great option to have which mi9t pro really missing.

Yup. Poco f2 pro won't launch in India. They'll launch it as K30 Pro. It is because of this Covid situation that launch has been delayed. Also Xiaomi India is trying to clear their existing stocks of K20 pro before launching K30 Pro
I am cosidering between the Google Pixel 4a (340€) vs the POCO F2 Pro (399€),
Which one do you guys think is the better choice?
wait for pixel 5 4a with 765 processor is uber trash

Now POCO F2 Pro is about 300,00€ in Italy. That is a so low price for these specs (Snapdragon 865), if there are two big lack:
1. no slot card at all and
2. no development due to the fact that the source code tree is partially hidden in order to block the development.
It seems like there's a collusion between the phone house to give a price to the possibility of development.
Actually google pixel it costs much more than the value of the money suggests for its specs.
Like "future development of the phone" must be paid by the costumers. That is my paranoia. :confuso:
My price range is from 20k -23/24k. Although I wanted to go for One Plus Nord but seeing that it's most basic version is just 6/64 and also how its body is quite weak and have bad cameras from reviews, I decided to not go for it.
For Realme Phones, I don't think any ROM development goes on for them, so I probably will not buy them.
So main question - Is Poco X2 worth buy as a Poco F1 user since last 2 years? and what about Poco F2? Is it even gonna launch anytime soon?
Or is there any good phone in that range?
Thanks a lot.
why don't you go for k20 pro?

The K30 Pro/Poco F2 development is almost non-existence. Beside depend on your need too, because X2/K30 is the only phone in the K30 series to have an SD card slot.

dont buy poco X2, it has so many issues and camera quality is not up to mark ,,poco F1 12mp still better than 64mp...I am user of poco F1 from last 2 years...120hz only gimmick, nothing special about it, 8mp ultra camera bull**** only 2mp macro camera its new for me...battery backup is not good with 120hz and bloatwares...

Firstof all I'm am usingpoco x2 as my daily drive from the last 4 month,and i have never felt any issues in my unit as you mentioned here.All the users admitted about the camera performance of Poco x2 with it's superior Sony imx 686 sensor,and it includes a decent ultra and macro cameras.Its the best camera phone under 20k.120hz display is butter smooth and the hdr 10+ panel really did a great job.Battery backup was not good but after 11.0.11 update it seems to be great and no any draining issues.
So please stop degrading a device without any evidence or reason
A lot of people complaining the battery sucks because of 120hz triggered me lol. Just switch to 60hz if you want better battery life.
hi xiaomiers i have searched a lot these last 3 days for a compassion between the two phones' cameras (i know note 10 is better) i would appreciate TONS if someone of you that has both phones uploads one or two photos (same ofc ) for me to compare one 108 mp with the note 10 and one 64 mp with the poco f2 pro , like i said i know the note 10 has a better camera but i want to know how much better it is i mean if i can be happy with the f2 pro camera because i love how the screen of the f2 pro looks with out the notch ,plz and thank you
Easy

I would not justife the price difference....
Poco is now at 300e....and the camera difference is not noticeable at all... The power for 300e you get is simply unbeatable atm. The macro on poco is absolutely stunning...
Point and shoot poco is on par with flagships....i mean it..
See bellow
First pics little snail from regular distance...barely able to see it... Second is point an shoot macro...
No pro mode....no adjustments...and so goes for main camera
Just basic main camera..absolutely stunning..
Hey, I just upgraded from the Redmi Note 5 Pro to the Poco X3 Pro and I just cannot get selfies on the Poco X3 to look good. They should have roughly the same quality, as both phones have a 20MP selfie cam. I already tried out GCam versions by BSG, greatness and Parrot043 (whose GCam I used before) and still, selfies have much more detail on the RN5 Pro.
Any suggestions?
