AnandhuPresannan

Please include a button to switch off and on HDR, because the HDR is not working properly in some situations

RajeshSiddhan

Flash options be like - Off, Glyph, On, Always on

Where last two options more or less same, is there is an AUTO option? Based on scene?

Need more improvement in camera department in overall picture quality and dynamic range

Improvement specially needed in low light scenario, on an instance I was trying to click a photo in the evening, but I was reducing the exposure using the slider, but when click it just automatically adds more light to it, which I did not intend to do. It will add even more light if scene optimisation is turn on.

The camera is abysmal, even after the updates. My Nothing phone 1 takes far better, more accurate photos than the Phone 2 I just received. Honestly, I don’t know how a company could release camera software as trash as this and expect to keep customers loyal .

@Rob ⚡️ Atleast someone from nothing team reply that the reported things are noted and working on it. We people here raise issues by issues, but there is no response or update from nothing. Its pathetic 😔

Rob ⚡️

Jerin Jose Hello, it’s written in a few places on this site, but the best way to get your feedback delivered directly to the right team members is to use the feedback form baked into the OS: Settings, System, Feedback

If they have been working on it since the phone came out, they probably have too many coffee breaks.

It is not polite to say they are not competent.

Rob ⚡️ I thought when we report in community about the issue, that would have more impact. And also when I want to report camera issue, it asks for screen recording and all those things. I cannot be in the same place for this. Only thing I have is the photo I took. There is no option for uploading it.

Any chance we will ever be able to save the hires mode to RAw/DNG

Does anyone get 2.0.5 in nothing phone 2?

Maybe with Android 14. Maybe not.

My wife has a Samsung and just upgraded. Looks OK: Better? Worse? Depend on the eyes seeing it.
