Quick question,
Has there been any talk about porting the pixel 3a camera to other phones?
Since the 3a doesn't have an extra processor dedicated to photo processing like then normal pixels (2 & 3) then, I would imagine, it would be easier to Port. Right?
Am I way off base here? I'm just curious.
Thanks
Rico

Rico, I was using a PE Rom (Pixel Experience) on a Moto G5 Plus prior to getting an actual Pixel 3a, and was able to do several of the camera software features that are available on the 3a using the camera app that is available in that rom.

Here is my quick and dirty comparison between the Note 5 and Pixel 2 XL when using the gcam mod on Note 5. Most photos are in low light.

Hi,
Thank you for the comparison, great pictures. Can you tell us your rom (miui or other, which one) and gcam version please?
Whyred is pretty sweet when coupled with gCam

Xiaomi EU 8.6.28 (MIUI 10). I have played around with different version of the ported gcam app by BSG but the results are more or less the same. Try some of these:

I cannot launch any gcam port on MIUI 8.7.5 What I'm doing wrong?

From the pictures, as expected Pixel 2 XL wins easily.

From my point of view, Pixel 2 XL wins by a large margin on photo 1, 2 and 10, the difference is less prominent on the other photos.

Thanks OP.. :good:
Hey, do you know if any of these GCam ports use both of the rear cameras on the Note 5? Thanks
Since the Google Camera is perfectly optimized for, well, their Pixel devices, it is expected for it to be better
I am sure that with an advanced GCam app which has noise reduction settings it can be tweaked to be closer to Pixel line (though can't match it really), and actually there are some versions, however I don't know how to use those settings (yet), but I might give it a go sometimes
There's no clear winner actually since the shutter and ISO speeds are never the same for any pair of pictures. Whichever one has lower ISO wins for that pair. The Pixel 2 XL has more noise and loses when it's ISO is higher.
In the first pair of pictures, the Pixel 2 XL has clearer and more details on the bottles because this phone was much closer to the subjects and therefore much higher magnification and much clearer rendering of the small details. But its noise is a bit coarser.
Note 5 pictures is ugly besides pixel xl2

Hello, is this redmi note 5 pro? If so, is it whyred or other version? since they have different cameras. Sorry i cant keep up with names xD, is "redmi note 5" Chinese version and "redmi note 5 pro" Indian version of redmi note 5?
Both phones do it great.
RN5Pro adds grain just a little bit on low-light photos, and colors are a bit less saturated in day-light.
Awesome comparison. Thanks
note 5 Do you have the best gcam for al? smoothly.
Hey guys I m switching from a pixel 2 xl and looking for something cheaper. Would you guys recommend a pixel 3 a or pixel 3a xl?
Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk
Depends on what you want. The phones are more or less identical, the only major differences are the size and battery - the 3a XL is bigger in both.
If you're currently having the Pixel 2 XL and are OK with the size, then go for the 3a XL. If you would like to switch to a smaller phone, then go for the ordinary 3a.
I'd wait till the Pixel 4 is released in mid-Oct. You might find that Google offers some decent trade in values for your Pixel 2 XL. Or discount the 3 series even further than it is now ($300 off).
As noted, the screen and battery are about the only things better on the 3a XL. You've lived with the 2 XL screen this long, so it must not bother you too much. A few more weeks won't make a difference.
If you want a cheaper phone, you could definitely switch over to a 3a or 3a xl. I went with the 3a because i got tired of having a big phone( 2xl) and I got also annoyed of having to carry a headphone jack adapter. I only miss the faster snapdragon processor. The battery life on the 2xl was terrible too. I do miss the actual front speakers on the 2xl. Can't go wrong with the 3a though. It gets me through the day.
Either would work

Either works; the 3a is smaller than the S7 or newer (I came from the S7). Also, it has a longer SOT than the S7 and charges faster than the S7 as well. Here's a shocker - the S7 charges faster using the 3a's charger than using its own charger; however, the 3a charges faster yet. (That means it is NOT a fault in the S7's charger.)

I am on a bit of a budget to be honest. I can't buy a phone out right and knowing Google it's going to be very expensive.

And for me personally I want to try the 3A XL because it's a better option for me and I have to spend less money. They only gripe I have with the phone is that does not have the image processing chip my 2XL has.

I have a pixel 2 XL which is on its deathbed as well. So you think I should just go for the regular 3A?

Why would you switch from a pixel 2xl to a 3a or 3axl?? I don't think so it is a very smart idea

I never missed headphone jack, guess i adopted to this trend way too early. Pixel 2xl battery life is quite good for me and does the job. Cheaper, yeah but then if you already have 2xl why would you spend extra money?
Hi guys,
i am currently on Pixel 3A, but i want to change phone due to size of memory (only 64gb)....
I like the camera of Pixel and i am sceptical on the camera of Nord.
Is there a way to get the results of Pixel on the Nord? Or with GCAM there will be just a minor improvement on the Nord's camera, but nowhere near to Pixel quality?
In general would you say that i should make the move please?
Thank you!

I personally choosed Nord over other phones because of 90hz & oled. But my previous phone was 5 years old.
Go to Nord forums, Apps & theme section, and you will see the topic of GCAM on this device where it is some users feedback
I'm evaluate to buy a new phone in September, when probably support for my mia3 will stopped. And this oneplus seems good for quality/price
Good afternoon,
I'm sure as many of us are aware that as of June 1st 2021, Google photos is going to start imposing a limit on non pixel phones for the uploads of photographs and videos. I currently have A32 5g phone which I recently acquired from T-Mobile. I also have a fully functional pixel 3A XL. I'm going to start using the A32 5G as my daily driver. I was wondering if there was a way for me to take photos on the a32 and bypass the Google photos limit. One thought I had in mind was to take the pictures on the A32, and then transfer them over to the pixel 3A, and then have the pixel 3A upload the images to the Google photos. First of all, would that work? or would the metadata notify google photos and impose the limit since it was not taken on pixel 3a? If it would work, would would be the best way to go about it? Resillo sync comes to mind at this time. I would ratherNOT Root the a32 5g if possible. Dont want to brick a new phone by accident. Thank you for your advice.

Your current photos will not count towards 15GB free storage.

Also bricking your phone due to this, makes no sernse, sounds like science fiction to me personally. No offense
I don't know, maybe start using alternative cloud solutions like eg. nextcloud for this?
Also... A32 5G to Pixel? Wouldn't solution be to download all photos on device storage/sdcard, then reupload using new Pixel to make sure new higher GB limit for Pixels apply?
Sorry, let me clarify. I have a pixel 3a xl, and i have a A32 5G. I would like to use the A32 5G and upload pics to google photos somehow (AFTER June 1) so that it does not start counting in my storage limit. Yes, I am thinking that kind of solution downloading/transfering form A32 5G to pixel and upload from pixel. (Pixel has no SD Card slot).

I have answered my own question.
Hello all!
I would love for you all to give your opinion on the OnePlus 9 camera in comparison to something like my Pixel 4 XL. My OnePlus 9 which I purchased on eBay arrives tomorrow and I am slightly worried that although the battery and performance will be a huge upgrade over my 4XL I'm concerned after reading mixed reviews about the image quality.
Coming from those who have tried pixel devices do you feel that the OnePlus 9 is in any way comparable to the pixels image quality? If you came from a pixel are you satisfied with the OnePlus 9 camera performance? Is it at least acceptable for someone like me who has children in a lot of sports in likes taking action shots?
I appreciate all of yours input and thank you for your time
My Pixel 3 XL took way better pictures across the board. The lack of OIS on the 9 is unforgivable. I use the GCam mod that was posted around here and that's at least passable but the only thing I like about the OnePlus cam over the Pixel is that it doesn't blow out reds. As someone with rosacea, it's nice that a minor flare up doesn't make me look like a tomato.

can you give me the link for the gcam u r using? thanks a lot i cant find good gcam for op9
I just switched from the OP9 to a pixel 5, which i believe has the same camera sensor as the 4, and I think the photos on the OP9 were much nicer. Sure google has good processing but the image is so grainy on the pixel 5.
On the plus side my pixel 5 isnt crashing / randomly rebooting five times a day so i'm happy.
