Android-Authority, 13 Jan 2021Clearly whatever you said about gcam is nothing but lies. ... moreAll true.

- It is easier to see details when you increase contrast of colours. For example a plant leaf green with yellow parts. If you make green darker than it is and yellow more vibrant, it is easier to see both. Even on LCD the black parts of photos taken by pixel are too black, like when viewed on oled.

Even pros choose foreground at expense of background if necessary , not opposite.
It is excess of HDR that mess with colours. The blueish clouds of samsung, yellow skin (iphone). Turn off hdr and all this is gone ...
Pros do not use stacking, they choose to edit exposure.

Manual mode gives you the chance of having the photo the way you want, not how the OEM judges pretty to them. That is why filters exist.

You do not see Sony, Nikon, Canon, Leica, Panasonic and other cam makers doing this, not even with jpeg.

When you hear few reviewers say pixel 5 was best phone of 2020 (yes, you find this crazy type of thing online), you know how faithful tech media is ...

        I've seen you complaining about Google HDR as well, blindly saying they produce fake looking images at night which is not the case.
        As this anonymous guy said, that must be the results of gcam on your Xperia

          considering how expensive Snapdragon 888 or even 865 is, more competition is good for consumers, if the create a cost effective system on a chip then we will see inexpensive flagship like phone which is probably closer to US$600-700 than closer to US$1000 which is usually on snapdragon 865 and forthcoming 888, then every one wins.

                  AljeanT, 12 Jan 2021But can it compete against Kirin 9000, SD 888 and/or Exynos 2100?Mediatek is for value (cheaper solution). For example last year Dimensity 1000 and 1000+ is quite fast for everyday task. As we have known that almost new phone using SD865 last year are expensive (we are not talking about Xiaomi's pricing because they put ads on their MIUI for their revenue).

                  The problem of Dimensity is not many phone using it (last year). Especially 1000 and 1000+. I'm glad using that chipset because I don't have much money to buy the expensive Snapdragon flagship phones.

                    i0S...Never...Again, 12 Jan 2021Nope. Hierarchy of flagship CPUs currently available can be... moreA14 Bionic is more like below Tier 2. Powerful on paper like only Geekbench which pretty much serves to feed their tiny egos, but pretty much overheats and thermal throttles like a CPU without a heatsink and is wimpy in real life performance compared to REAL flagship SoCs like the SD 865. Lol.

                      If things continue this way expert comments like:
                      No dimensity, no buy.
                      Crapdragon and so on😂

                        You are jealous because your phone does not even choose where to focus.

                            Gcam is only available on phones which are mostly popular. No one buys the Xperia 1 II. Hence, it isn't available.

                              they just want a good phone for the money that will last 3-5 years not giving a damn about android updates.
