Excellent camera functions
1

I love the camera functions of this mobile either in terms of photography or videography. HDR+ mode works perfectly and 4K videos are smooth thanks to its special stabilizations. Slow motion videos are great as well.
I installed lightroom from playstore and now it can take DNG format photos too.
My only negative point is that since it has f2.0 aputure macro photos are not that background blurry. I wish it could be f1.7 or f1.8 at least.

Thank you Google.

Google Pixel XL takes the OnePlus 3T, but the 3T is way more affordable and worth its price.

Re: Excellent camera functions

Image composure is nearly on target, but the boat is still very grainy.. and this is to be expected from a smart phone. I cant say there's anything that would help correct the boat's graininess, perhaps taking the picture at a different time of day very early morning or early evening.

However I do have a few suggestions of tweaking the image. Are you using the camera app which came with the device?.. if so try alternative devices which utilizes more of what the camera can offer which your device is set up with limitations..

For instance, I've found that the Instagram imaging associated with the app takes way better images than the stock photo app. This holds true with Open Camera app. Oddly, our zello.com app takes surprisingly good images also. Explore your options to achieve better images.
