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.

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 everybody, I want to get your thoughts. I want to change my pixel 2 for bigger screen and near camera performance. I would really like to wait for pixel 3 but it is not sold in my country. Which phone would you advice? Oneplus6? Zenfone 5z? LG Q7? I made lots of search on my favorite Zenfone 5z which is smaller than op6 and lgq7 , what I found is; everything is good except camera which have potentcial with future updates and lack of water resistance.
Any advice?
I am old Samsung user s7, s7edge, s8 and won't but Samsung again. That is why it is not on the list.
Anything even close to the Pixel is Oneplus. Get a 5T or a 6. If the camera is really important to you, then 6 is your choice. 5T's camera is underwhelming at best.
I'm not into new smartphones anymore because I settled into my Pixel 2 and will have it until it's not supported anymore. But everything I know is that OnePlus 6 has a good camera, probably they will upgrade it with the 6T so I would wait for that to be announced and tested. I wouldn't consider a Zenphone because if the quality is bad at release, It would hardly get better in future updates. Also you can use various Google Cam mods with OnePlus phones as I did with my 3 which broke after It flew off the bed when

The only problem with op6 is that 6 months of renewal having an old phone in 6 months is very bad fealing even if I wait for op6t

No OnePlus phone is even remotely close to the pixel 2 camera.
OnePlus phone offer better performance, but their camera tech isn't flagship level
using a Huawei P20 as a successor to my P20. great phone and all but I miss the small form factor and the fluidity of stock Android.
expand your candidates, add pixel 2 XL
Keep the Pixel 2, try 424 dp, and large font size.
Hi all,
I bought OP6 few months ago and went back to pixel 2xl. I was gonna go for pixel 3 but not gonna do it because of alot of issues with the device. Anyway im thinking of buying a OP6 (no 6T ) but the only thing hold me back is the camera. So my question is how's the current development with GCAM + OP6? Is is working like on OP3 + Gcam? HDR working + greenish photo issues have been fixed? Highly appreciated your input
Don't know how it worked back with the OP3 but I come from a Moto G4 Plus and GCam was miles better than stock on that phone although it was very slow to take shots.
My experience with Gcam on my OP6 has been really good. I didn't start using Gcam until a couple of weeks ago but I'd say it's pretty solid when it comes to regular photos. Video doesn't work but the stock op app works fine for that. When I compare pictures between stock and gcam the gcam can be a bit too aggressive when it comes to background blurring and zooming in on text on a whiteboard is better on stock though nightcamera is miles better on gcam.
My point being that gcam isn't superior in every single way compared to stock. Don't know if it might be gcam not working the same as on pixel 3 or the stock just being superior in some scenarios.

Let me get this straight.
You bought OP6, then went back to Pixel 2 XL (because the camera wasn't good? Or is it something else) Then you wanted Pixel 3, but it had issues.
So you want OP6 with the power of a Pixel camera by using the Gcam mod apps?
Ok, I think I can advise on this particular scenario, since I have been testing it extensively.
1) When in good lighting conditions, the stock camera of OP6 is almost as good as cameras of other flagship phones (iPhone XS, Galaxy Note 9, Huawei Mate 20 Pro etc.) I have seen multiple reviews of this camera, and during daylight, it's excellent. My own shots with this camera were very good as well.
2) When in dim lighting conditions, the stock camera of OP6 uses an oversharpening algorithm that makes images look grainy/noisy and also makes images lose a lot of fine detail. Gcam does superior noise reduction, and preserves a lot of detail, but the images come out softer than other flagship phones' . I would definitely use Gcam for low light shots.
3) However, a lowly GS9 cam (which I have access to) is still superior to this OP6 camera, in both daylight and low light scenes. There's not a large but definitely noticeable difference in detail and focus at night, and a slight difference during the day.
Conclusion: The Gcam app will not change your camera experience, unless you take a lot of shots of dimly lit scenes. Using the Gcam app will significantly help you bridge the difference between the OP6 camera and other flagship cameras.

Lol. Yeah i went back because of the camera. Once you use a pixel it is hard to find a good camera phone. Yes. I dont wanna go for Pixel 3 due to remaining issues. Here is the thing, only thing i love about Pixel devices are Stock fluid system + superior camera. But i was a oneplus user few years back. Thanks for your long explaination. May i ask you how do i get GS9 cam apk? Only drawback of coming to OP was the camera. Im gonna give it a try

Sorry, but GS9 camera comparisons are from an actual GS9 phone, which my friend owns.
If your sole issue is camera performance, then don't go back to OP6. It's just not as good as flagship cameras.

totally agree. let's also say that other flagship could cost (in some cases) more than 2 OP6 put together.
comparisons are soooooooooo sweeeeeeet..
I spend most of my free time looking comparisons between phones but we gotta face the fact that there is a CONSISTENT price difference between a MATE 20 PRO or the lastest iPhone and an OP6 (or maybe two, lmao), and still I think that so much money won't giustify the quality difference.

Thank you both. The reason that pixel camera is great beacuse it is just point and shoot. 9 out of 10 it will produce blurr6 free perfect photo without any editing. Most of other cameras won't do that. To be honest im not a photographer or i dont take photos alot ( like used to be). So it is good that i can relay on a camera that will capture that moment without a fail. But if the GCAM port can catch up to that I'll ho back to Oneplus. I know that there is a huge price difference. Thanks though. Really appreciate your help
so ive been looking to move from my Pixel 3 to a oneplus and.
1- Size:im not into big phones, ive had big ones before and i dont want to go back:
the OP7 is a bit smaller, isnt any noticable on use, or is it just shorte ?
2-Notch:id rather had a teardrop than frankenstein (pop-up)
3- Screen style: straight bezzel is better than curved for me
many complain and i dont think im going to be into the curve
4-Warp charge: would be nice, but not having it aint the end of the world for me
5-Battery: the Non-Pro probably lasts a little more on its 3700 than the 4000 on the pro version taking into consideration the screen ?
6-Resolution and refresh rate: i know ill love it if i see it, but well i can let myself not get used to it, aint that a solution ?
7- MOST IMPORTANT is the camera.... i love my pixel 3 camera and im sad im "downgrading?" but is the OP7 even more of the downgrade from the OP7 pro when it comes to the main shooter if we forget about the wide angle ?
thanks a lot for your time, please weight in
main reason im leaving pixel is that it aint really supported in Norway, so i have problems sometime, no support for 4g calling and wifi-calling which i kinda a killer for me, because im a professional translator and need the call quality
the price difference of 200 euros between OP7 6gb 128gb and OP7P 8gb 256 is not much for me at all, but i just dont want a bigger more expensive phone that i dont really long for currently
If you can buy the op7 pro then go for it.Battery life is better on 7 mainly because of small screen and lower refresh rate and the main shooter performs the same as 7 pro.I personally use op7 and I don't have any complaints
In your case I would by the OP7 (non pro)
I was in the same situation before I bought the standard op7. I also doesn't like the bigger size and the elevator camera. And the curved display is also a con for me.
Camera quality is almost the same if you take normal pictures and nothing special.
Probably the OP7 would work out well...
Camera not great on OnePlus 7 or any other non 7 pro Oneplus,
Maybe go for a Mi 9T or K20 pro or indeed mi 9 which has teardrop notch but good camera,
I would personally get a 7 pro if I didn't already have a 6t.coincidently, I'm thinking of swapping my 6T for a Mi 9T for the greater number of features,better cameras and battery,though am hesitant because I do enjoy quick updates on Oneplus but am realizing a lot of updates are useless updates to weather and other Oneplus apps that you don't need

So you didn't have a OP7 and say camera is bad? Makes sense.
I switched from Mi9 to OP7 and I tell you Camera isn't better if you take standard pictures and nothing special. It's almost the same because the main sensor is the same. (48MP Sony IMX 586)

Believe it or not. OP7 Camera setup isn't the best, that's right but "better" always depends on point of view. It's not right if you say "OP7 is not great". That's absolutely bullsh.. You can take great Pictures even with one less lense.
Btw... I would never trust paid YouTuber...

Sorry for commenting on your new phone dude, your obviously very protective of that bad boy.But having had OnePlus 3,6,and 6T,I still believe OnePlus software is not good enough in the camera department. My 6T sucks without google cam. Xaoimi does it better IMOPO

Hi guys! Bought OnePlus 7 last week and have been playing with it for the past few days.
I have had my usage of flagships and budget phone, as my previous smartphones have been Galaxy S1, HTC One X, Motorola Droid RAZR, Xiaomi Mi3, Nexus 6P, Nokia 7 Plus and now OnePlus 7.
I was also very skeptical about the mixed reviews that this phone received for its camera and picture quality but after buying and using it for a brief time period, I am sure of one thing that it certainly is not "GOD level" aka Pixel Camera but the phone is pretty good for the price that is being offered.
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.
