ignore this publication, it does not have HDR
Just install Miui 8.11.15 and play a video on YouTube with HDR, I do not know if it is a "placebo" effect But I think I see real HDR.
we know that the panel or display of the phone is not hdr10 compliant but they did map the color correctly form 10bit to 8bit so it can be played with good colors not washed up colors
and the result is flawless simulating best hdr experience .. nice job .. but i dont know if this is pie or miui

hey nice review overall, i can see that the way you use your fingerprint scanner is wrong and that makes you say that it is a gimmick. you might want to check out the other video on busting the fingerprint scanner myths on max.

I just checked out the video you mentioned.
1) To be honest I disagree with the man. I personally hold the phone so that my pinky is below the bottom part, which prevents it from slipping out. For me that is the natural way of holding the device and when holding it in that way I can't comfortably reach the fingerprint scanner.
2) The second thing that I didn't like was the lack of functionality to lock access to certain apps, photos etc which would have been a very nice feature to be used with the fingerprint scanner.
3) I personally only used the fingerprint scanner for a while, as it seemed pointless to me.
Thanks for watching and I am glad that you have enjoyed my video
I was wondering if there is a way to make the Google Camera with hdr+ work on the Kenzo running a 7.1 ROM. I have downloaded the apk from apkmirror and it works, but there is no HDR mode to be seen..... P.S Camera 2 api is already enabled in the ROM I am using! :fingers-crossed:
The apk that is available on apkmirror of Google Camera is the Lagacy version. The original version of google cam is only available for nexus and pixel phones.

However I've tried the original one on kenzo It crashes many time and shows no major changes in captured pics on both non hdr+ and hdr+ modes.

Ah... Well.. Do you know of any good camera mods for the device. Normal HDR is drastically slow, even in good lighting situations sometimes produces blurry images if not held completely steady

You could try the Oneplus Camera, as it is one of the best camera for Nougat Based ROM's for Kenzo.

Yeah, no HDR... Was wondering, if the Nexus 5 can have auto HDR+ why cant the Kenzo. The camera is atleast not that bad.... And the processor is miles ahead, so the post processing should'nt be an issue. The MIUI stock camera is good, but the manual mode is just very limited, shutter speed is essential for a manual mode!
Hey anyone facing when playing a hdr video in youtube the color looks washed out
There is no contrast and no accurate colour see screenshot below
I don't think Poco supports HDR video with its "meh" display.
Edit: apparently it should support YouTube HDR playback in 1080p, but I think the screen is not capable of displaying it. I tried some videos and they look washed too.
Same Problem I have

Yup, I have checked for the same and yes colors are washed out tend to be more grey and white side so there is no hdr support in Poco. idk why they still show it in youtube listing like1080pHDR.

yes
this is annoying because if videos are HDR then we cant watch in youtube i didn't find any option to play hdr videos without HDR.
Pause the video in the exact frame, go to display settings, turn off Night/Read Mode and change the Contrast to Increased/Automatic contrast(Warm), reduce the brightness to the viewable range! come back to Youtube, you could see a nice difference in the paused image! shows good dynamic range! but once starts the video, display resets and it starts showing washed out images!! Looks display is ok to display issue in the software to me!
did anyone found how to disable hdr playback in youtube ?

This same video playback on my poco F1 looks like Ur screenshot 1 and def not ugly like the 2nd one.
Unfortunately I am not able to take a screenshot or screenrecord of the same .
The problem is with hdr playback the screenshot comes out black.
Is my display ok cos of the pie based beta 8.11.1 I am using.
Attaching screenshots to explain what is happening with screenshots
Well i played Avengers Infinity war 2160p.10bit.HDR.BluRay.8CH.x265.HEVC (3.69 GB) via both the stock video player and MX player and both rendered colors correctly ?
I can see HDR youtube videos near to the perfection for this screen. The colours are amazing.

I am whit MI 10.2 beta 8.11.1
I found a weird bug. Turn off auto-brightness and increase brightness. Now play an HDR video on youtube. While that washed out video is playing, hower your finger over the light sensor on and off. The screen will try to get dimmer for some reason as if the auto-brightness if on.
I can confirm too. YouTube HDR videos look more on the natural side and a tiny bit washed out. It's definitely doesn't render the more punchy Colors of HDR. Obviously because Poco display is not HDR complaint.
The youtube videos look way better on the web browser than they look on the youtube app.

Well I'm using the global rom but do check the screenshot for the additional details. As for the HDR screenshots, all of them comes out black.
Plays awesome in 8.11.1 beta Android 9 ROM...
Colours look beautiful for me in HDR. When I rotate the screen, it switches back to regular version for a split second and then back to HDR.
Running nitrogen OS on my device.
Check these screenshots
Videos downloaded in HDR format and 1 without hdr
Now you can tell the difference

U mean to say the bottom ones are hdr videos playing on ur phone.
If that is true I certainly don't have such problems.
I have compared YouTube hdr playback on poco with non hdr playback on iPhone 8 plus and mine looked better.
If u can link which videos to download and test i can send screenshots.
the colors looked washed out, because when the phone is at max brightness (which HDR videos turns up the brightness automatically).
there is an option in "display"
"Contrast and colors" select "standard contrast"
pretty sure your issue will be gone, but do note that selecting this option will make your display look yellowish
poco support hdr does it mean i can download hdr content and use it and get the reql hdr in my phone i mean will the viewing experience be real hdr
well it can play hdr files fine with the media player but youtube hdr videos are washed out .. you have to understand the screen is only 8bit not 10bit so if the app will not convert colors correctly form 10 bit to 8 bit it will be washed out
A new camera app from Adobe with AI and filters that looks very promising.
Unfortunately in the Playstore its not yet compatible with the N7plus.
Maybe someone found the APK and tested?
Found it on the APKmirror its working.
Scenery enhancer works nicely, most stuff is for selfies, many extras. give it a shot.
what about the output quality?
Is It just another cam , or is it a good GCam alternative?
---------- Post added at 07:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:17 PM ----------
I can answer by myself after trying it.
Just a regular camera with some artistic effect. If you're interested in partialar backgrounds or bokeh effects, it's a good product,
If you simply want quality pics, stay with GCam 100%.
P.S. I noticed that my N7+ was very hot in processor area while Adobe Camera was in use.
Maybe it requires big effort from processor to apply high quality effects on pictures, and this explains why it's not available on Google Play.
Ok but gcam is buggy ...
That's sadly true.
I really don't know if there is a camera app that could really improve the quality of N7+ pics.
I've tried many: opencamera, better camera, fv-5, even dslr camera pro.
Maybe I'm wrong, but I noticed that most of the best features of those apps are not working on N7+. For example, there's no way to increase manually time of shutter. And so on.
At the end, it seems that the quality is less or more the same we can see with the stock app.
Difference with gcam is huge.
Back to Adobe Camera, I'd give it a try if it had a few more options to set up. I'm not much into fancy filters, but I'm interested in white balance for example, or taking realistic color pics at sunset.
Try killercam Revolution from Raznoptid. It has configs for nokia 7 plus. (Not the best configs, but you can imput some tweaks after).
This app is not my thing. Gcam + Snapseed is better for me.
