Its got a shitty camera, at least compared to the Nexus
I ended up installing the open camera app because the default one makes it unbelievably slow and ends up taking shaky pictures.

Which Nexus are we comparing to? The 6, 5x, 6p?

6p... And even that one didn’t have a benchmark of a camera!
This one has a dual lense but I can’t understand why it takes pictures so weirdly

I think you can drop it to mono so it won’t do the hyper-focus with cloudy background stuff.

Do you have all the updates installed? I thought they had at least attempted to make improvements to the stock camera app.

I think people say it massively improves if you install the Google HDR+ camera on it. There’s an APK floating somewhere on XDA.

I missed your original post
How is the new Essential phone compared to a 6p? I had a 5x
I’m using a LG G5 which is much the same, but with expandable storage

Im still getting used to it! Its funny because it basically has no vessel, so its the size of an Iphone 6s but has as much screen as the 6P

I kinda dont like the bezel-less phones. I’m too afraid I’ll drop them

Well, I see your point... The nexus already had a very thin vessel on the sides and the protection covers always snapped off!

Yeah, it doesn’t help that I don’t put any phone cover or screen guard on the phone.

No surprise to me

Because hardware on a phone camera is only half the equation. e.g. KEYone and the Pixel both share the same Sony sensor, but BlackBerry’s software is shit compared to Google’s optimizations.
