Any Android camera apps with adjustable image sharpening?

After nearly 5 years of using a 12MP Nokia N8 I finally upgraded to a 12.3MP LG Nexus 5X.

Although the 5X has smaller sensor pixels when compared to the N8 (1.55 µm vs. 1.75 μm), I assumed the newer sensor technology combined with the faster lens (F2.0 vs. F2.8) would have compensated for this difference. Sadly, the 5X can't quite match the N8 in terms of image quality (although the 5X trumps the N8 is every single other category).

What really irritates me is how much sharpening is applied to the 5X photos, in an attempt to fool the eye into thinking there's more detail than what the phone's optics are actually able to resolve.

Can anybody recommend an Android camera app which allows image sharpening to be reduced/disabled, allowing me to see what the 5X's camera is truly capable of?

Many thanks
