Re: A tip about free usually paid app

For quick and dirty snaps without manual settings, the GCam Pixel algorithm and HDR can't be beat if it can be found for a given device (not always easy).  I'm lucky mine is compatible with several, my default camera for simple point/shoot.  A web search turns up this for Doogee but I can't vouch for it, or the safety of the linked GCam APK (It's the only result I got which makes my leery, I use Bitdefender free malware scanner as protection for sideloading APKs).

The blogger has a procedure for enabling Camera2 that suggest the manufacturer's limits need to be overridden - no idea.  He also links a "config file" for the GCam, that may add functionality - maybe worth a try if the basic APK doesn't work.
