Some sample low light scenes #shotonfxtecpro1. It's decent, although I have to hold the #FxtecPro1 really still for these results. I'll miss using the #Pixel2 for getting excellent pics with ease, but I think I can get used to this and be more deliberate in composing pics.

The fingerprint sensor on the #FxtecPro1 is so sensitive and yet inaccurate that I've all but disabled it. The Bluetooth is also finicky, it's not pairing with my #QC35. Sure I can use the 3.5mm jack but I like how easily my Bose pairs with multiple devices.

OTOH, the #FxtecPro1 keyboard is cool, and I'm back to having normal battery life on a device, yay! (50% in 12 hours, regular usage; while the #Pixel2 drained 40% over the same time just being IDLE on the table.) And the display looks great! I just have to get used to its curves, holding the phone in a way so as not to touch the display on the curved sides too much and triggering stuff unintentionally. Easier when I have the qwerty keyboard out, of course.

more photo tests (as I use the camera a lot). These are taken by snapdragon (stock) camera.

Next set is taken with Open Camera play.google.com/store/apps/det - refer to prev tweet for photo descriptions.

I find this app focuses better but the contrast/colours don't look natural. also image file sizes are halved. more testing needed (probably need to play with the settings)

@cybette how does the camera over all compare to your pixel 2 one u have used for so long?

@jameshjacksonjr

it's almost as much about the software as it is hardware. using a Gcam port, the fxtec pro1 takes almost as good pics as the pixel2. with the stock camera, it's "meh".

@cybette nice least u won't be losing to much pic quality wise
