Since the Note 20 Ultra lacks ToF camera sensor, I assume it also lacks the 3D scanner feature & software.
Is that a correct assumption, or does it supply this feature using other technology ?
no ideas anyone ?

On my old Sony Xperia XZ premium I had 3d scanner with only camera & laser autofocus so may be it could work

if Samsung has included the software it could work. But did they include it ?
if someone with the device can check...
is there anyone with the device (note 20 ultra) ?

Correct .. there is only a camera on the front .. there is no IR/depth sensor hence there is no 3d secure face unlock .. just the basic face unlock (not secure but ok to open phone).
If there was a second sensor on the front of the phone for an IR/depth sensor, then everyone would complain about a notch or pill cutout and complain and complain and complain - like the Pixel 4 XL and the P40 Pro.
But then when there is a pin-hole then everyone will complain why there isn't 3d secure face unlock.

this thread is not about front cameras or 3D face unlock.
It's about rear cameras, ToF and 3D scanner feature (which is available on Note 10+)

I just got the phone today, and went to camera options in AR mode, there is NO 3d Scanner on it. Will try to install the app when i get home and see if 3d scanner will work.
The app does not work, in fact it gives you a message saying that the phone lacks a sensor and doesn't even open.

Yup, he's right. Also my Night Vision app that uses the ToF sensor cant be used in Note 20 Ultra anymore.
1) Is that note 20 ultra?
2) I was under impression that laser sensor is for the depth, send I am wrong then.

Use Selective focus, once captured, the saved image in Gallery allows you to save in different focuses.

No, it can only work with 2 cameras, so unless you know a way of gluing on another camera, it ain't gonna happen.
The nearest we can get to it on the S8+ is by using selective focus or by using macro mode which can produce quite reasonable bokeh.
If so, how is it possible in A8+?

Sorry, I don't know the A8+.
The question was asked regarding the Galaxy S8+ specifically, and not all mobile phones in existence.
As you allude to, there are a multitude of devices that now implement a version of this using 'software' and the A8+ is probably one of these, as is also the Pixel 2 XL.
This hadn't been implemented on the S8+ at the time of my reply, but may now be present in some 'custom' ROM,s.
[Edit]
After doing some research on the A8+, I understand that it does actually have 2 front cameras.
It also notes that 'Live Focus' is available when taking 'selfies', ie using the '2' front cameras. In light of this, your 'trolling' of my original post makes absolutely no sense.
You're comparing apples (S8/+) to oranges (A8/+), one has a single camera on front and back = no 'Live Focus', the other has 2 on the front = 'Live Focus' when using front camera's.
Simple.
Hello, we have so great phone, but i want to sell it! one reason is that - word is talking about Google camera, which have amazing Hdr+ and Best portrait mode...

We have so good smartphone, but camera is not so good that it must to be! And we can't use Google camera mod, because our phone have not full support of Camera2api And no one can to Port this great Camera for XZ Premium users But maybe there is someone who can help us to enable camera2 api and make Gcam mod version for us, it will be great and I think it will be work at our device very good....

Yo dude google camera is indeed improving the picture you took with your smartphone, in fact it's a lot. Take a look at this video comparing <€150 Xiaomi phones with stock camera, Ported google camera, and Google pixel 2, and you can see that the result is night and day compared to the stock camera app, and even matching the photos taken with the Google pixel 2! So don't underestimate this app, it's ported and wanted by many community for a reason, it's not just a ****ty apps in play store, this is the app that makes the google pixel known for its camera.

There's no "Portrait mode" but instead the "Lens blur" mode which is actually the same? Correct me if im wrong
The app itself runs smoothly, no crashes. Just like the stock camera app. Just tell me if you want the link though. And i'll try to make comparisons between the stock camera app and google cam app soon. (My connection is so bad rn i can't upload images)

Sadly you need root for that , which is not attainable right now without unlocking the bootloader.
Lack of RAW mode is a real turn off on this Phone, my old Lumia 950XL took amazing photos and had an insanely powerful flash. If I'm completely honest, the camera and flash are the weakest part of this device so I can easily see why folk want to try and mod it. Actually, in an ironic twist, the screen delivers a brighter flash then the actual flash, to bad its the wrong way around to help the camera.
It is very sad that such a good smartphone would turn into this huge disappointment. Most of the camera apps that I've used are Laggy and use only 8mp
Maybe there is someone, who can active full camera2api? And make gcam mod for sony?
Bounty Thread :: for google camera s9 (exynos version ) with pixel 2 xl as model and pixel 2017 as processing parameter with both front and back hdr+ and hdr+ enhanced working along with potrait mode.

Brother first thing is this nexus 6p and nexus 5x doesnot have dual pixel hardware needed to support for potrait mode like pixel 2. I hope you got your answer. Without hardware support you cannot make a software to execute
I understand that but there are many other devices out there that have dual pixel but cannot work already. Those devices are cheaper and easier to work on than our s9+ regardless if it's exynos or snapdragon, but no one has been able to reverse engineer google's codes.

please adress the flash issue, can't take a picture with flash, there's a lag between the shutter and the flash.

Why it would be needed ?? All things works on s7 and s8 exynos , only s9 exynos version is not supporting pixel 2 zls and potrait mode on front camera otherwise potrait on rear works ( although laggy). Why do we need image segmentation like thing. Its pretty basic and has not been implemented yet so would be a very difficult and lengthy procedure for a dev.
If a thing is required is usage of dual pixel technology. As this will give power of potrait shootings on non- face subjects

But now its not running and keeps force closing even after several tries. I ran it on v3.4a of cstark27. Lets hope somebody will figure it out how it got run. Also news for front camera hdr+
Has anyone got any good news??very said that it is taking so much long for our devices. If possible somebody please reach miiniuser123 as he can do miracles for us just like he did for other exynos based samsung devices:fingers-crossed:

There are many shared but one or the other function in GCAM not working on our phones.
I think no XDA Developer is interested to develop or porting GCam for Honor Devices.
All people love only Snapdragon or Exynos or MediaTek..
Nobody interested in Kirin..
Even check reviews on YouTube all reviewers hate and criticize Honor Devices...
I think why I purchased Honor 8x?
Though it's stock camera is good in day light.
Front camera edge detection is poor.
And low light is bad ass.
I don't know what...

Ive always wanted to try GCam and see if its all the hype it says it is.
Is there a modded version out for the Xperia 5 III? Thanks
None of previous Xperia (for the last 3 generations at least) flagship smartphone had working Gcam. Suggest this one will be no different.
bruh how is that even possible
I've been playing with one on my 5 ii, and the results are pretty good. Not as great as I expected, but that doesn't surprise me. The Sony hardware is not optimized to work with the software, and you could probably tweak the algorithms to make it work better with the Sony hardware. But, I don't have time to tweak the hundreds of settings in the GCAM mods to see what works best.
Where you have:
BSG: MGC_8.1.101_A9_GV1zfix
Download MGC_8.1.101_A9_GV1zfix by BSG.
www.celsoazevedo.com
It's not close to perfect, but it works on all 3 rear cameras.
Night mode doesn't work very well because Sony only exposes expores up to 1s for external apps, and the GCam crashes when tries to use more than 1s to capture more light.

The biggest difference I can see, is in low light scenes, the google camera takes much better photos, and removes almost all the noise without losing to much detail.
In cases that the Xperia Camera clips the background, the Gcam resolves some detail in the clouds for example.
Overall I don't recommend it.
- Auto focus is it or miss.
- Touch to focus freezes the viewport.
- Video recording doesn't work.
- Selfie camera doesn't work because Sony uses a cheap Samsung sensor.
- Night mode doesn't work properly because Sony doesn't expose all the camera API properties.
- Out of the box the photos are a bit under saturated.
The diferent versions don't make any diffence in the case of the Xperia 5 III, that I know off.
Im my hold phone I needed a camera with a specific name to allow the google camera to access all the camera features in original ROM. More or less what sony does with the creator' color profile for specific apps.
and again.... which version u using....therea6 different.!
i tried the first 3 from the list and i don't like there results at all.!

I'm using rev X of the one ending in MGC. It runs okay. A little sluggish, but I don't have crashes. I did find a profile on the web and loaded it. GCAM on the Xperia cameras is a tool, but not a perfect one. I've learned from experimentation what areas it does well and what times it doesn't. I find it hard to say if it's better or worse than the stock app because it is situation dependent. If you're looking for something that you can replace the stock app with, your expectations will not be met. However, if you're looking for an app that does better in many low light situations where you have to shoot handheld, then it will give you capability you don't have with the stock app.

Disagree with X 5 III taking better photos than Pixel 5. I wish it was true so then it would be no need in Gcam. X 5 III takes good enough photos in perfect light conditions only. That's just my experience (with X 1 III though).

Is you use lates android 12 and latest March photography pro, even night mod on my 5 iii capture faster than my pixel 6. I don't have 1 iii so i can't make comparison. I only have 5 iii, pixel 5 and pixel 6.

I don't like the quality output straight out of camera. Photos come out underexposed, out of focus, lack of clarity and lack of HDR too often.

This is exactly what I did! I 'm really happy that I was able to get rid of that overpriced, overhyped device. Certainly it is not worth even $800 to my opinion. Just because of underwhelming camera performance alone.
I currently have a Pixel 4a and an Xperia 5 iii. The difference in low light scenes is astonishingly in the Pixel's favor. During the day I really like the Xperia's colors and having multiple zoom levels is great too. But in poor light the $349 Pixel cleans the Xperia's clock. Sure, with a tripod and a static scene I could get a better result on the 5 iii perhaps but in most situations it's not close. Google has bottled smoke or something.
