Hello, I though about buying that phone, but I afraid to much slow SoC.
Yes, I know nobody need high end SoC for Facebook, Instagram, messenger etc.
But here is a open source variant Google Camera, called Photon Camera under GPLv3.0.
Anyone tried this? It would be appreciated if anyone try install apk from GitHub and test CPU, GPU and Hybrid align.
I really wonder if Photon Camera works on Fairphone.
Just installed, no problem but I haven’y used many options and am unlikely to. is there anything special you would like to know about?
By the way the screen layout is a bit off, but then it is a beta production. Top icons a bit off screen and large bottom control uses lots of screen space, but it seems to work fine.
Here is a full screenshot.
I noted the app ahs the option of using the bayer filter or not, so I questioned this aspect and took the same image with each option.
The image below is a section magnified by 618%, very little diff, but would have to do other, maybe outdoor images to check more. Both were saved as jpg and the on-screen comparison is a png as i wanted to crop out some of my desktop.
Tested it for a few minutes and it’s slow. Consider waiting for next fairphone, the FP3 is not a good phone to take pictures. I have bugs with the native camera app. And macro, especially, is really not a thing here. I hope next phone would do better on that matter
I wonder if you adjusted the settings. The first option > Frame count. Anything other than 1 requires processing before the image is saved, which makes it seems slow. The default is 30 ??
I have no problem in saving, it takes a second, not two.
