This may have been more exciting if the phone wasn't looking like a dud.

Looks like camera shipment is finally heading to the US after sitting in Chinese customs for a few days. FedEx flight just left a stop in Japan.

Mine is due to come in two days

 

[fernandez21]

Mine it set to come in 2 days, but it's in Memphis now and with my phone it got here the next day from there, so maybe I get lucky again.

 

[digitalbreak]

Mine is supposed to be here tomorrow and it's also in Memphis!

 

[digitalbreak]

Just don't use both at the same time. You'll suck all of the photons in and create a black hole. The universe will collapse between your two cameras.

Mine arrived this morning. FYI you must download an update via WiFi only before the stock camera app can use it.

 

[bhatech]

Hmm don't have any update waiting for me.. Plugged on the 360 camera... How do you use it

Open essential camera app and see no option for 360 camera

Edit: Never mind finally got offered the camera update and all good

 

[bhatech]

Weird now the camera update keeps failing sheet trying/reattaching multiple times. Restarted the phone still nothing.

 

[ChuckG73]

So who else thinks the camera is subpar

 

[digitalbreak]

Mine is installing the update. Got the prompt as soon as attached the camera.

So who else thinks the camera is subpar

Is it the camera hardware or camera app in 3... 2... 1...

For those of us who didn't buy one, how bad is it?

 

[bhatech]

Well at least mine is defective out of the box. Fails to install update, looks like the update corrected the firmware in the camera or something. I even factory reset the phone again (jeez), but when I attached the camera again thinking that it'll try to reinstall update from beginning but instead when I connect the camera it still says camera update failed.
