Camera quality is still the best

[robinhelenehebert]

I compare it to my Note 9 and Pixel is a winner! So crisp and sharp.

That's why every other manufacturer is comparing their cameras to the Pixel. (The same went for the 2 - it's basically the same camera and the same processing chip - a custom chip designed by Google.)

Pixel 3 camera is even better than the S10 camera which just came out this month.

Definitely better..... Once it actually loads!

Not everyone shares that same loading problem though so we can't really say that in in general. The only time I see any slow down at all is after it's already loaded and set to HDR+ Enhanced which normal and even that isn't bad. If I recall correctly you had that problem and exchanged it but still have the problem. I don't know if you have tried running it with a clean install and no apps. If you can't solve it, see if another exchange will work.

I've had two XL's and my wife has the 3 and nothing comes close to noticeable in lag terms. I just literally timed the load time from double pressing the power button and just pressing the app icon. Maybe 1-1.5 seconds to start firing off photos. You really need to look at settings options or rogue apps that are causing you so much grief.

Here's a process report. My Bluetooth or garmin watch isn't even on and my connect app is a RAM hog....

I'd be more concerned about Facebook Messenger.

You should force stop some of those apps and see if they behave the same way once you use them again or they run again.

I agree it's quite a hog

I agree it's quite a hog

Among other things....lol

makes me want to delete them on my phone. but then i say to myself I get excellent battery life why not just keep them

 

[KillerQ]

I couldn't care less about the battery, lol, I'm just concerned with performance. I uninstalled Garmin Connect and replaced messenger with messenger light. We'll see!

I dont have issue with performance either with them installed
If I was having your issue though I would start with clean install and add apps one by one see which is the problem or if still happens with no 3rd party apps installed.

It’s better with night shots, but normal daytime shots are better on several phones (Galaxy S9, S10, iPhone XS, Xr, XS Max, etc.). DXOMark confirms this.

DXO ...??? Does anyone still consider them an authority anymore? Their methods have come under question in recent years.

I don't recall seeing those comparisons and I don't think it's true for most daytime shots. DXO is just one avenue in determining camera ability. It's still up to individual preference. Some people like shots that aren't representative of the actual subject. In the end it's a matter of what I like, not what some reviewer tells me I should like

 

[robinhelenehebert]

I see much better day shots too

Best camera compared to any Android/iPhone I've owned.
