I've had my edge 40 for a couple days and have found everything from the power, screen, capability, design etc to be great and a really, really good phone.
The only issue I have is the camera is terrible. Is there some sort of update or 3rd party app the many Motorola users of ozb have installed which they've found to have minimized these issues?
Any guide to fixing it or suggested setting changes will be very much appreciated!
i use my phone where its good. i use my dslr for everything else. i don't edit anything. there's raw files for when i have time. my phone also does raw files
Best camera is the one you have with you. I have a mirrorless, but it often isn't with me.
Thanks to software, in difficult conditions, a phone will often give a better result with far less work.
gcam?
CustardShot
Action or stills ?
Thinking software will magically fix your hardware issues is like the old fake iphone apps that made it waterproof.
Definitely not true, most of the camera smarts lies in the software and not the camera itself. Google used the same sensor in their phones for years in their pixel phones but could still sell it as "better" each year thanks to the software improvements.
I have an Edge 30 and installing GCam was like magic with night mode
The thing is that it isn't a hardware issue. The physical camera is good but is let down by poor software.
You need to sideload Google Camera and hope someone has made a configuration file for your phone. Having a quick look around it seems there is a stable one for the Edge 40 with a few caveats.
i had a Motorola Edge 30 pro and it was a great phone, major issue though was overheating and also people on call sounded like twisted robots i couldnt hear anything, anyknow know how to fix that or is it faulty hardware or software i cant find anything on this
Sounds like a major issue if your phone can't even make phone calls

If you want a decent camera or phone for that matter, don't buy Motorola.
I tried a couple of models but gave up years ago due to their refusal to handle warranty. Both models started out ok, but within a couple of months had major issues (purple camera on one, and nearly impossible to hear callers on another).
Neither were physically damaged (visibly perfect all around), but when sent for repairs they refused service, citing physical damage….
Wouldn't ever touch another of their devices…
I am on 3rd motorola phone and so far no complaint.
yes. a dslr. (:
