    What’s the issue with the Pixel cameras? I thought they were typically one of the selling points of the phone? Maybe I haven’t paid enough attention to recent reviews (been on iOS for a few years now, but want to switch back to Android).

      Probably just preference. Pixel cameras have better specs, but I’ve found both indoor and outdoor photos taken with my Samsung seem to better represent the subject of them. At least to me. It could be the quality of the post-processing, or just bias on my part, but for a while it sure did seem like Samsung had a monopoly on photographing and reproducing deep greens.

      That kinda goes away if you do install Graphene or other de-Googled software though. The camera hardware isn’t that impressive and using the AOSP camera makes this super clear. Google’s image processing is what really elevates the quality you get from a Pixel picture.

        You can install the pixel camera on graphene and it functions exactly the same as the stock OS

          What’s the point of going through the trouble of using a de-Googled device if you’re going to install Google apps?
