    Post TCL 10 Pro no Smart Key?

    Well, I bet your fingerprint shortcuts actually work, they don't work at all on the T799B. And as a consolation, that green T799H is beautiful and not available in the US yet.

    If you have the Plex, then you probably have the T799H (green EU) variant of the TCL 10 Pro. The T799B (gray US/CAN) variant has the smart key settings and a different accessibility menu

    Thread Lens Aperture f1.79 advertised - f1.9 actual?

    Camera API 2 app, as well as exif data on test device and review model images show the lens aperture to be f1.9, not the advertised spec of f1.79. Anyone have a clue? Could this be an error on the readout/report on exif data and API probes, or did TCL pull a fast one?

    Post Poll: what is the best Google Camera apk for Moto X4 from Celso Azevedo's blog?

    If you click the pictures and bring up the menu, click the info button and you'll see the ports I used for each picture. Most were taken with the same port. I only use two versions. I (and others) discuss the ports and settings at length in this thread.

    Post Poll: what is the best Google Camera apk for Moto X4 from Celso Azevedo's blog?

    No; but the quality is effectively the same, regardless. The limitation is due to the fact that the X4 uses a method known as 'pixel binning' which basically combines the data from 4 pixels into one, thus the camera is reported to third party apps as 4mp, but that's just the way the camera...

    Post Google camera port for moto x4

    I'm not mistaken. You don't know what camera port/version I used - that's number one. Number two, you don't have my camera samples, number three, you don't have my exif data. I get two pictures, one with the entire scene in focus, and another with a different focal plane. And yes, at distance...

    Post Google camera port for moto x4

    Not necessarily; I don't share more personal portraits (of people) but it takes portraits well at distance, in fact, Google is on record with its philosophy of almost forcing more distance with its default 1.5x zoom in portrait mode. I'll look at the exif/metadata and check to see what the...

    Post Google camera port for moto x4

    There's no Google camera port for the X4, in any variant. There are hundreds of Google camera ports, many of which function in limited or mostly limited capacity on the X4, though. Portrait mode works fine with the rear camera, as well as the front camera. These portrait shots were taken with...

    Yes, I would say so. The settings are more thorough, and the stability is very good. Once you set it up, there's nothing to mess with, nothing to worry about. Every time you expect it to work, it works. It was tagged 'beta' only because it was a test version of various features for different...

    The camera config one is a major one. This setting affects the way the application interfaces with your phone's hardware. If you use Nexus 6p config, for example, you'll get more moderate shutter speeds compared to Pixel 2 XL, at both ends of the spectrum. In other words, if you want your...
