I noticed some highlight artifacts on both back and front camera using the Pixel models, which only occurs with N6P model on other camera ports, wondering if I am the only one with such issues. Nougat stock based ROM.

Issue solved, uncheck minimal HDR+ smoothing, this doesn't play well with HTC 10 but works say on Nexus 6P.
Strangely camera.use_photos works under Nougat now, perhaps has to do with your Magisk module.
Yes we cannot use Smoothing but we can Use Extra HDR+ details in good light the Front Facing Camera is a Beast.
we always was able to use Camera use photo under Nougat.
What i found about this build is well.
All Pixel models work for sure but when you choice a MODEL and restart the next time you open the app you gona have different settings Under Developer settings.
For Example if you choice model PIXEL 2 XL restart and the next time you gona have all the settings that PIXEL 2 XL has.
If you choive lets say PIXEL XL this is an older device the next startup you gona have less settings.
this mean that when you choice a MODEL and restart the app to read the new settings the whole Gcam work like it is a the MODEL you choice.
In other builds when you choice MODEL you dont have extra options or etc.
I had idea:
@aer0zer0 you sayd that u got Portrait and crash when some people just get black screen all the time.
I found out that we can FORCE the portreit and test it well with direct install doesnt do anything for now under Nougat but can do it via Magisk or Oreo
when you install the apk in Model choice PIXEL 2 XL thats it and restart
then when you open the dev options you gona see new configs for example ENABLE_PD this is to force the Portrait mode
ENABLE PD and ENABLE PDBlur
