Privacy friendly ftw. I’m not satisfied with the amount of post processing mine does to images, I have little to no control over it. It’s like it adds very aggressive blur and sharpen filters for everything, and when you zoom up everything looks “blobby”.

My previous phone took way better photos, and I still use it if I need something looking a bit better. But it would be nice if I could just take decent photos with what I got, since I don’t always carry my old phone everywhere.

Suggestions?

    I tested a couple recently and chose Fossify Camera as the most usable. It’s pretty quick, takes decent pictures, and has a good interface.

    Fossify is a group that has a number of very high quality apps that are generally as good or better than other open source alternatives.

    Yes, just the one: Just now it’s only clear you are unhappy with a phone and not much more than that.

    Try to clarify your question to get helpful answers ;) What’s your old phone? What’s the new one? What O/S? What app do you use now and before? etc

      I don’t understand why this matters that much- my old phone is a Motorola g8 plus, current one is a moto g84 5g and is about a year old. The camera isn’t the selling point for either but I would expect at least similar quality since it’s considered an “upgrade”(not that I had a choice there).

      Default camera apps for both, Android obviously.

      I just did, it appears to be a minor improvement over the default but I have less manual controls. Not bad for the time being

          I don’t have white balance controls that I can see, or a slider for shutter speed (even if it does have an option for bracketing there isn’t much I can control on it). ISO selection is also missing. Controls for other things seem to be there but the interface has less information, I have no idea of what values I have for anything. I do appreciate the option for flashlight on, that’s handy, and postprocessing seems less aggressive than my default camera.

            Those controls are all a bit hidden if you don’t know where to look.

            First you must change to Camera2 API.

            White balance can be set to manual in the three dots menu and scrolling to the bottom.

            Then shutter, ISO and white balance will appear in the same menu.

            In this screenshot ISO is still set to auto, once set to M there will appear a couple more sliders.

              Thank you! It took me a while to find the api2 but I got there. Well that does it then :)
