Focusing Problem - Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers

Hi, My G5 plus can not focus on near Objects (less than 10 cm). I have read somewhere than it can focus on Objects from about 4 cm . Is that the case for you people too?
ps: Profi Mode help neither.

Same here. Makes it completely useless for OCR.

This is from about 5cm. You just have to hold the device still. For me that's good enough.

Any info about Moto camera update?

Hello guys,
we all know about the new camera interface in moto g4 plus so the question is, does anybody have a clue if other models get camera update as well? I would really love the pro mode (former nokia lumia user) on my moto x play. I saw that those g4 plus have May security patch, do you think we will get it with next security update as well?
I flashed G4 camera pirt and is fantastic.

That would be fantastic. Touch-to-shot feels awkward.

Thanks a lot for the tip. I have tried it and must say, it it a little bit better. Basically stock camera app with manual ISO settings - not like the G4 plus camera, but still better than nothing. I was talking with CEO of Lenovo here in Slovakia today and he told me that current motos (g3, play, style) will not get such camera update as g4 plus has most probably , so we have to be happy with this camera.

If you mean photo quality, then no I did not. But I compared those 2 apps and the one you gave me link to is basically stock app with manual ISO and white balance + few more settings. I wished for something like moto g4 plus camera with pro mode (manual focus and so on). I have also tried Snap Camera HDR from google store, it seems promising, but it crashed several times so I do not use it anymore
I wish someone one day will unlock manual settings!I saw in x style they did it!!!
I already got the latest version of the new moto camera, but I don't see Pro Mode in the menu.
How? Where?
there's a way to unlock hidden settings on stock camera? i've tried changing release-keys to test-keys but didnt work
till now I found only moto g camera to work

Is the laser AF bull****?

In all devices with Laser AutoFocus I tested, including my nexus, occluding the laser sensor with my finger didn't change how the phone focused or how fast it takes for it to focus...
is this sensor just a waste of money and space?
Given that this device is cheaper than equivalent models I don't care if it works or not.

It costs more than a galaxy s7 in Israel.
And it doesn't even have an IR blaster.
I am talking about laser auto focus in general as the laser on the G3 and LG G4 does nothing special as well.

Has anyone got RAW file output working yet?
I don't own the device, but thinking of buying, and RAW (.dng) photos would be the last push over the edge for me to buy it.
I'm currently using a OnePlus One, with Camera FV-5 app for RAW photos.
Not impressed with the announced price of the OP5, particularly when I can get the very similar specced Mi 6 for over £100 less.

Thanks for this amazing contribution! What do you think abt the pics on each rom?

Should I get the Mi A1 over Asus Zenfone 3?

My needs:
- Good Camera, esp for indoor and low light use. Need a good manual mode. Portrait mode not important, need to shoot mostly landscape pics.
- Good build quality
- Long lasting battery (~1-2 days for light use)
- Light user, no gaming or other heavy apps
The camera of Mi A1 vs Zenfone 3:
- A1 = dual set up vs Zenfone = single 16MP camera
- A1 = no Laser autofocus, no OIS
- Zenfone 3 = Sony IMX 298 sensor (same as on on oneplus 3t), not sure about A1 sensor quality.
- Maximum shutter speed : 0.067s for A1 vs 32s for Zenfone 3
- Zenfone 3 has a full featured manual mode (more options for shutter speed, WB, ISO etc)
Zenfone 3 comes with a full glass back, and is now more than a year old. The price is half of the launch price. What would you advise. The mi A1 or the Zenfone 3?
go for the A1. some users of ZF3 are having camera issue like blur camera or not focusing.
The camera is not great you need full light. The dual camera is more of a marketing gimmick.
Battery is also not great but does well for the capacity.
For battery I recommend the Lenovo P2 although I have no info on the camera.

thanks for that info, I went thru the Asus forums and like you said, users have complained of camera focus issuing. Are ther any known issues in the Mi A1 that I need to be aware of?

thanks for confirming what i suspected about the camera on A1. Lenovo P2 was on my list, but its bigger and heavier than I need.

Both are 5.5" the size difference is minimal. Slightly thicker due to the monster 5100mAh battery
Expandable memory up to 256mb and HD video. The main drawback being that pesky Lenovo software but community is active on here.
If you take indoor photos, don't buy Mi A1. It has awful low light performance (and I mean awful. The pictures come out grainy. However it has slightly improved by Oreo update). The daylight photos come out amazing though! Landscape photos are amazing.
with google camera it's not bad at all

Yes, i know.. it is all about software... The hardware, as you see, it is capable to shot great pics in low light condition
@traianescu
thanks for the pics, I can see the big difference.
The camera on the zenfone 3 smashes the mi A1 mate I have both of them and my wife has a zenfone 3 too and we have no issues with the camera

Thanks! Zenfone 3 is better IMO. In A1, images are blurry but in Zenfone 3 images looks sharp and better.
You can get sharp images with the a1 but there is kind of stabilisation so it's hard and videos are better in zenfone 3 too, if you switch to night mode in the zenfone the Image is very bright and pretty clear but night mode on a1 does nothing lol

I had a Zenfone 2 Laser and man, how much I hated that phone. It has bloatware with takes a big part of the space and like a Custom ROM fan I am no one even cared for that device. So, I recommend any phone over Asus ones ^^

Is HDR+ enabled? The difference between the pictures is huge.
Yes, hdr activated on both cameras, to have a fair comparison..
The camera it is more than i need on the phone.. my complains are two other thing: it is huuuge, compared with my ex iphone 5s and i don't have a real fm radio app.. maybe when we will have the kernel source...

Replacing Mi A1 screen with Mi 5X?

My screen is full of cracks after a drop from 40cm. I'd like to replace it and found one, but it states that it is for Mi 5X. As far as I'm concerned Mi A1 and Mi 5X are the same phones (except bands and ROMS). Do you think it will work, or should I look for a Mi A1 screen? Thanks in advance!

You Need To Go Service Center And Local Electrical Market . Ask Them if they Replace Your MiA1 Screen on There Own Risk Then. Replace
I Think It's Not working Mi5x Screen On A1.

Hi there! I have checked eBay, and almost all of the LCDs are labelled "Mi A1/Mi 5X", so I'm 100% sure you can go ahead and buy a 5X one. Also, the two devices' hardware is literally the same (except for the storage, afaik). So there'll be no issues.
