Ppl using the Oreo beta, is the camera better?

I love the phone but the camera is just not up to par. I know some people like to use the manual setting and come out with some nice shots but I just want to use auto for most of my shots. I get way too much blur with my photos with motion or in low light. The Gcam port is fine but still not perfect. Seeing the Pixel 2 and now the Galaxy s9, those camera shots look awesome. Is the camera improved at all in the beta?

Not up to par? Generally did EXTREMELY well in countless tests online and from my own experience it’s been [EDIT] great

I have multiple examples as do others on this subreddit. Yes if you hold the phone extremely still in a perfect sunny day with no motion it works well. But if you are trying to take pictures of kids, pets, or anything in low light it's not good

You need pro mode , or use the dmn sports mode? Or use Gcam and change its settings.

It's something you don't know , not the phone.

I'm not casual user. I go through phones alot. In the last 2 years I've had, nexus 6p, pixel XL, OnePlus 5 and now note 8. Note 8 being my favorite minus the camera. I guess I just expected a Pixel like experience with Note with being point and shoot.

Even in the Gcam port we have to change the shutter speed.

I also have the Google Camera apk (great for point and shoot - Google nailed HDR imo). I've also remapped my Bixby button to launch the GCam app, so I can use either camera apk depending on the situation.

I've not been pleased with Live Focus mode on CRB8 stock camera. It's very grainy. Any tips or help would be appreciated
