8GB RAM/128GB storage costs £100 less on OP8P vs S20. At least let's wait for reviews before we start passing judgment.
I haven't passed any judgement. I said previous OP devices have lagged behind.
if they're tickling the same or similar price point that s20 and iphone is at then they will have no excuse this time.
but lets wait and see.
OP did release some statements after the 7 launch saying that they knew their camera software was lacking and they had increased the team behind it massively so lets see if they've managed to make any big leaps in the 8. Personally I don't find the camera on my 7 pro in any way unacceptable for the odd quick picture I take.
I found the camera on the 7T Pro pretty good and had no complaints. But everywhere I read it's the same old banging on about the OP cameras being average so now I feel like I have to believe it's true (and I'm 100pc willing to accept that it IS true. I just couldn't see it myself).
I think it's simply because it's the last real way to separate brands, almost everything else that's different such as software/size/etc. comes down to personal preference where as the camera can still be measured against hard and fast benchmarks.
Whether the general person can actual pick up on those differences without painstakingly looking for them is a different matter.
Highlighted it on the previous page. It's a step backwards IMO.
There is absolutely zero evidence to suggest the camera is/was unreliable. Admittedly it was likely the reason OP couldn't file for IP68 last time round and if rumours are to be believed the 8 series will be certified in that regard. From experience I can concede seeing dust stuck to it is pretty annoying but that's more down to OCD than anything else. For all the pop up is used it's the best solution for me.
oh it is very good, I've got a 7T and I'm happy enough with it.
it simply isn't as consistent and other devices I had before, for e.g. my pixel 2 xl took a long time replace and even then going from that to 7T meant a slight downgrade in camera.
the pixel 2 xl was just so easy, literally point - shoot - done.
7T I have to tap around to adjust brightness, often take a 2nd picture to be satisfied etc.
consistency wise other phones do better.
iPhones for e.g. are great at simply taking pictures.
