I found out that the OV sensor supports RAW formats and this isn't listed as a feature on the phone or included in the app. For an Android that got mixed reviews with the bad being focused on the cameras, this is very odd.

So the OmniVision sensor isn't the best available by it's own admission but the software cripples it. It has AI and other useless features built into the camera app. I used some tricks to get a RAW capture and it is so much better.

I'm working on this and it is already becoming less of a disappointment. The max stock settings make much of the photo look horrible and people look soulless. It made me think about how much better my Samsung S4 was with photos.

If you have an Android device that takes horrible quality photos, check out different apps for taking photos.
