They aren't perfect but like the magic eraser stuff it's never going to be in comparison to learning how to use Photoshop and spending hours on it, but for 10 seconds of work on your phone it's generally a good enough result for slapping up on your insta or wherever.

DPD tracking just received on CPW order, no day time yet just "awaiting parcel"

Hmmm, need more reviews to come out so I decide between the 8 and the Pro.

I'm noticing a pink tint to the left half to top of the screen on grey and white background.
This is on low brightness and solid colours.

Not promising.

I must be the only one that really doesn't like those photos. It's done a below average job of the swap especially noticeable in the first example around the cairn. The shadows and light source don't even match.

Its all about the likes though, those people aint pixel peaking.

I noticed logging into FB/Insta/Messenger there was odd colour banding on the left but its the app as I've opened blank webpages and its fine.

Agreed. It's something that I imagine younger generation will see now a lot in insta, these too good to be true images, getting more likes than their real images, and want those likes too.

Well played Google on that part. When it is done well, it is incredible

Camera comparison.

Set mine up. Phones really nice, nice in hand etc. Signal wise it's a little better. Will need to test it abit more but maybe 20/25 DBs lower than the 6. Was hoping for a little better but will see

Got mine, just doing updates and transfer. (coming from a 7 Pro)
