All you can control on the Android Cortex is number of shots. Other important controls like exposure or white balance are sorely missing.

I didn't measure it with a stopwatch, but I had an impression that the Pixel was like 5X faster than the G4. There is additional processing time after capture, but it's also much shorter.

Pixel 2 + Cortex

I don't have a P20, but believe there is a 40MP mode. I've seen some samples, and the quality is very rough. To get top quality 40MP photos, you need to process RAW. Try Mobile Lightroom.

Latest flagships can give similar quality but much faster. When I shoot with Cortex, I have to hold my phone still for about 5 seconds. Google Pixel 2 takes it in one second.

I developed some new raws from the P20 posted by the Photography Blog. The IQ is pretty similar to Nokia 1020's with brutally sharp center, some green vignetting and unsharp corners. The P20 ...

When I was young, I had to listen to horrible Soviet-pressed vinyl records, so I am not nostalgic at all. Sure, a record in a nicely designed cover may be a beautiful physical object unlike an ...

HD audio is only slightly less convenient (requires more storage space) than MP3, but it's infinitely more convenient than CD, not to mention vinyl or tape :)

I am still impressed with low light capabilities of the Cortex app. A simple JPEG shot in these lighting conditions would be a mess of red and green spots. The only problem, it's painfully slow on ...

My favourite photo of the month. Shot with the LG G4 and "instagrammed". Would make a nice cover for a rock album :)

Without pixel peeping, I prefer the colours and tones of the Pixel 2 image.

Thanks for the great review of not so great lenses :) The macro lens looks interesting. The tele lens is awful. A friend of mine bought it for candid photography and returned it after 10-minute test.

The Huawei P20 Pro has no stabilization in 4K mode :(

Merrill exaggerates detail. May be good for some subjects (textures, city views) or terrible for other (portraits).

The Pentax K-1 does the best pixel-shift without colour artifacts.

Most people on this forum are interested in Foveon-like Bayer, not Bayer-like Foveon.

Here is a bunch of the P20 Pro samples: https://www.flickr.com/photos/marccecasestecnologia/albums/72157692028395472 The BW ones look great – check out this portrait: https://www.flickr.com/photos/ ...

Are you afraid they will shred your ego too? ;) Everyone is entitled to their opinion, and you don't have to listen to anybody's. Looks like my current provider won't carry it. Anyway, I won't be ...

Congrats on your new phone! Could you post some full size images please?

The colours look totally SD14 :))
