Hi
Just bought this phone for my dad. I have a few things that annoy me, maybe you guys can help.
First is the camera app. I tried the phone in the aftornoon with a lamp lighting up the room, so it wasn't dark.
When I switched to selfie mode the phone's screen lit up so much it hurt the eyes and you end up looking like a pale snowman on photos. I can switch to portrait mode to make in normal, but next time I switch on the selfie mode it starts on the the very bright screen setting again. I have tried everything to make it normal, but nothing works.
The second annoying problem I have is the notification bar. When I drag it down the text on the symbols start moving from left to right, instead of just being shown static like on Samsung's phones.
Anyone nows how to fix this?
I guess he also needs a screen protector since it only has Gorilla Glass 3?

I bought this phone assured that it has a dual nano sim configuration as GSM arena claims. The seller on the store also assured me of the same thing. Imagine my surprise when I opened it next day only to find 1 nano slim slot and a barred slot on the back side of the sim tray. No additional information about this topic after googling. Can it be I got some wrong version or something? I am thinking of returning it back.

Edge 50 Neo has OIS on main (wide) and telephoto cameras as per official Motorola site.
No dual band for GNSS. You need at least premium Dimensity 8000 series SoC for it.

Can anyone confirm whether this phone has dual band GNSS (either GPS, BDS, or Galileo)? Also, other websites say no OIS which seems unlikely to me.

Huge deal cons: sometimes apps not receiving notifications including telegram and discord like 10-20% out of 100% all the time(already set unrestricted battery optimization and untick paused the app if unused). Anyone know the solution tell me..

For anyone interested in improving the camera performance on the Edge 50 Neo (and probably the other Edge 50 models), I took numerous pictures with the stock camera app and BSG's latest Gcam build (MGC_9.3.160_V11) with a variety of settings, and compared them to the same photos taken with my Pixel 8. I've come up with what I believe are the best settings for Gcam.
For the rear camera:
Google AWB: Off
HDR+: HDR+
For the selfie camera:
Change from 1.4 to 1x
Google AWB: On
HDR+: HDR+
Increase brightness slightly (the picture will look overexposed on the display but will save with normal exposure).
I'm pretty happy with the camera now and if I didn't have my Pixel 8 to compare it to, I wouldn't be able to fault it. It takes excellent shots with the above settings. I haven't tested videos.

Does this phone have an x axis linear vibration motor? (Haptic Feedback) or does it use a cheap vibration motor? (Teardown videos show that it's circular)

Has the Neo been receiving updates every two months like it's supposed to? Which security patch is it currently on?

Bought this phone last month and I'm loving every bit of it. I am peace of mind knowing that it's plastic back rather than glass. I actually prefer plastic. Such a good phone
