I've got some time ago this app for free and never really used and now I wanted to give a try with a JPG comparison and for my surprise it is way better than stock, in the attachment the samples.
This is the link for the app:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.riseupgames.proshot2
For the Proshot picture I shot in: JPG, P, ISO 50, no noise reduction, Detail turned off, IMG+ turned off, Topaz Denoise and Sharpen.
Proshot seems to be way better than stock, its a pitty it does not support 50mpx yet.

PROSHOT
STOCK
Wow.. look way sharper... Do you have any other comparison like outdoor? ppl?
There are many version of gcam available and not really complicated to install.
Is this better?
Hmmm, the stock image looks either out of focus or soft by motion blur... would it be possible to show other samples, also from other scenarios ? That would be great
Does Proshot support all lenses on the S23U ?
Both pictures where shoot in the same condition, I will try to do other test but the test shows detail and color rendition

The problem is that this is a painting so we have to point of reference in our mind as to how exactly it looks in real life. If you go out and take a picture of like trees and buildings, it's easier for us to compare. Though I agree that proshot does look sharp and nice! Just hard to tell if it's not too sharp compared to real life?

I will do more testing because in some test I did today seems that even if I disable in camera sharpening, the app applies sharpening. Other thing I found is noise pattern this camera creates that is more difficult to Topaz to remove (somethin that not happen with Canon for example) but I will arrive to a bette conclusion when I do more test.
What about ProShop post-processing? Will be great some examples of outdoors pictures vs stock cam...
As long as the RAW issue with ProShot on the S23U is not fixed this app is virtually unusable with this device.
When shooting RAW you always the the image from the 1x module even when using 0.5x, 3x or 10x.
At least the guys at Rise Up Games are aware and looking for a way to fix the issue.
Also video stabilization is not present or working on the S23U in combination with ProShot.

I've been searching for a good review for the camera phone lens, but all I found was reviews using stock photos and amateur photos. So here's my review!
I'm a Model builder and I always take photos of my models. Im not an amateur photographer. Sometimes I go to stores and, if I see model I like, I would take a picture of it. But since the wizard camera sucks, there’s really no point.
so here's a simple review I wrote.
http://nlstudio.us/VK/phonelens/phone.htm
great review
Nice done! even though its not a "camera" phone.. the pics were pretty good after the photoshop tweaks! nice review and the lenses dont look that bad!
Good review although not worth $51!!!
would you agree that the macro lens makes the best improvement?
would you agree that the macro lens makes the best improvement?
Nice.
thats pretty great!
off topic, how did you make it clearer with photoshop?
the macro lens is only good for very close close-ups.
it only had a like a 1 inch focus range.
for the tweaks, i used sharpening filter and edit the brightness and contrast.
thanks
some update on more field testing:
so far i only use the super wide angle often.

this pic came out bad, cuz i switched it to burst by accident.
but it looks cool.
If you want a fancy lens, buy a digital camera. Walking around with a stick on lens attached to your camera phone will make you look like an idiot.
:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
LOL, it's magnetic, u can pull it off, when im not using i just pull it off and put it in my pocket.
i like to take random pictures of things, and i wouldn't normally bring a digicam everywhere i go, since my digi cam is a huge SLR, lol
I didn't know someone even made lenses like that! I take my phone lots of places I wouldn't dare take my fancy camera (and I'm SO sick of that condescending "get a real camera" crap in general) so I may have to spring for a set. Thanks for the review and pix!
oh yea, u before u buy, u can create ur own wide angle lens with door peep hole lens, only thing u need to do it, find a way to clip it on, lol
This type of lenses is also sold on ebay for approx GBP 3 per lens.
I dont know if they are better/worse but sure they are cheaper.
search for "gummi phone lens"

I went to see a Mozart yesterday and a HD7 today and I can say personally I find the Mozart camera waaaaaay better. With the Mozart you can mmove the phone around and take a picture and it is perfect, no blurring whatsoever. But on the HD7 even holding it perfectly still it was blurring. BUT the HD7 is so much better looking! Both me and my missis were blown away but the Metro UI, so smooth and responsive.
oh really？can you show more about them？such as cpu。。。。
no review without shots man! show samples!

Wow, seriously?! That's from the Mozart???
I read in a Pocketnow review that the camera was rubbish. Clearly they were wrong.

That pic is from the HTC 7 Mozart, I got one from Telstra on the launch day. I had issues with the headphones so now I sent it to back to HTC. I took that a few days back in the macro mode
what are the different modes for the camera? from what i read there aren't any.
My touch pro has a good camera with a lot of modes and brightness settings I use, this is a feature that I think should be available for the mozart.
I dont have the devicce with me now, Will add it once I get it back. If I forget just give me an shout on Twitter @1800PocketPC

The scene modes on my Mozart are: Auto, Portrait, Landscape, Sports, Beach, Backlight, Candlelight & Macro.
There is also are also options to adjust the metering mode, resolution, effects and Flicker correction but that's about it.

From the bad engadget review it sounded like it didn't have much to prove. Id really like to see a professional photographer review this phone for the least and not some worthless teenager. Those modes do sound reasonable. .
Can anyone give me some tips on taking good pictures with the camera on the phone?
Unless I'm in natural daylight, the pictures I take are almost always blurry or glossy looking.
I've enabled the anti-shake option and this seems to have helped some, however, it is still pretty bad. I've seen examples of pictures taken with this camera that look amazing, but I can never reproduce this.
Please help.
Do you manually focus, like tap-to-focus? You should try to and see if it helps. Maybe if the photos are blurry, either clean the camera lens if its dirty (you may want to check!) and go to setting in the camera app (stock or whatever the one you use) and make sure the focus mode is auto focus (or in some other apps Manual focus) and then try again. You really can take unbelievable photos with the phone. Me being a photographer for the past 6 years, it truly is awesome.
Here are some of mine I took all through the stock camera app untouched.

What settings were you using on the camera app to take the one of the fanta?
I've been doing some experimenting and I'm finding out that unless I'm outside, with lots of natural light, I need to use the flash, anti-shake, and often set ISO to 100.
Oops, I should have said reduce the exposure to -2.0 or ISO to 200 or 100.

I set the exposure to -1.0, everything else auto so I'm not quite sure.
I started a thread on this topic a while back, but things move pretty quick here you might not of seen it. Some good information there about taking pics
Here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1291091
It's really all about your lighting and the iso. I also have my metering set to matrix. try experimenting to see what works best for you.

I love the look of AOSP. Unfortunately, LG does not release camera drivers so camera quality on AOSP is generally pretty terrible. Recently, I decided to forego my typical stock g3 port and try out CyanogenMod 12, and its actually really really good and stable (on vs980 anyways). The only problem was the horrendous camera quality. Lollipop was so good (especially with xposed support starting up) that I decoded I'd try to find a fix for my problem. First off, I noticed that Lollipop had a *bit better camera quality than kitkat AOSP. This was promising but nothing good. My og droid razer still took pictures just as good. I tried the typical apps... Cm11s camera (it had bugs...) AOSP camera was terrible, Google camera was a little better than AOSP but not much. Lenovo super camera.. Still not 100% stable. I didn't use those stock camera ports as none of them are stable and those aren't what this thread is about.
--------------------------------------------------
I tried some play store offerings and almost gave up... But then I found something in the play store. "Open camera". Its free, open source, ad free, and somehow... It takes really good pictures and videos on AOSP on our phones.
When you open it you're greeted with a not-so-beautiful ui, but it has a lot of great features. HDR works also.. Which is nice. Actually, everything works.
The main gripe with the AOSP camera quality was low light performance. In open camera there's a ISO setting. Set the ISO to 1600 and you'll get great low light photos with little noise. You can of course use auto or higher ISO but noise will be a problem. But it is a problem on stock too at those ISO levels. Another thing I'd like to point out is that video recording is surprisingly good. No 4k yet unless your ROM supports it. The app itself supports it. Hopefully this can help someone who needs better pictures/videos on AOSP! ?
Note: I included a test shot. Keep in mind the room was illuminated by one nightstand light. It looks brighter in the picture than it does to the eyes. Even though there's noise in the picture, its multitudes better than other options

Here's a Google camera shot for comparison. I drew a red "G" on the Google camera shot because I'm uploading this with tapatalk and I'm not sure if it will show the pics in order or not:

Very nice post, already knew open camera since it's included in my rom, and yes it takes the better pics!
But I have to say that even thought this app goes deeply into settings, they could make some improvements to the UI...
Yes been using it for awhile
This UI is awful! Photos seem to be great though.
I've been using the Lenovo camera and it's been amazing. Ridiculously quick HDR shots.
Hi chaps, i know most gettin the phone soon, share your best pics when u get it,
Had it for a day so far...
What I will be doing in coming days is comparing side by side with lg g7 with the gcam port.
And taking wide angle landscapes with front camera (just flipping phone around).
More to come...

First pictures with natural bokeh and portrait mode. It was a cloudy day so the pictures aren't as vibrant as they could be.
Pot stickers for dinner.
A couple more...
After using gcam ports on several recent phones, it's nice to have a zsl real deal gcam again for a change! View attachment 4624461
Nothing fancy here, but I just love how crisp and detailed the images are!
More...
Even taking up close pictures that are quick are really clear. Took this before going to Home Depot for more. Wasn't trying to get a super clear picture and was a little worried I was going to have to retake it with how blurry it looked on screen before I snapped it. Looks way better than I expected it to. Loving this phone so far!
Natural bokeh, no portrait mode, auto awesome in Google photos
Love, love, love this camera

First pic I took, not bad
This camera amazes me. Here's one I took fooling around just to see what was possible.
In Italy. Breathtakingly good camera. I have also been regularly flipping the phone around to get wide angle shots out of the front camera (non selfies).
Hello everyone,
Pictures, i can't say how impressive.
I was trying to get a review from people about Pixels but then I decided to give mine.
Let's see if Pixel 3 is worth the price.
Let me know !!!
