      Do you use the stock OS? I run grapheneOS on a 6a, and the camera seems only okay on the gOS camera app.

      It doesn’t bother me enough to install the Google app, but I’ve always wondered how much of the camera performance is down to the hardware vs OS vs app.

          Yeah, fair enough. I already do that for gboard, so that’s probably a good idea.

        I had the Pixel 5 with GOS, and the camera on that was awful, the google camera app did all the heavy lifting to make it good. I now have the Pixel 8 with GOS and the camera quality of the grapheme camera app vs the google camera is much closer, but the google camera app is better. I use it with all permissions removed apart from storage.

        Have you tried GCam? Shouldn’t be too hard to get similar photos since you already own Pixel hardware.

        I’d recommend the mod by MWP as it’s built specifically for Pixels.
