Don't bother. Nexus 6P camera is still one of the best even till today. Essential's camera can't even match OP5, let alone N6P.

Damn, now leaning towards op5t le. Guess I'll wait for actual reviews of op5t.

I need a decent camera and selfie camera.

Think essential phone may even be cheaper on black Friday...

Works fine for mine leh. Which version did u install. Make sure you don’t install the oreo version one. Stick to the older 7.1.1 version. Yah improved but still no panorama . For me that’s unacceptable

Hi, i installed the gcam from XDA but realised that it dont work with my front camera. Whenever i switch to front camera there a "Camera Error Cant connect to the camera." but it work fine for the essential native camera..by the way the essential native camera seems better nowsdays...
