Click Portrait Shots on Your OnePlus 3/3T With This Camera NX Mod

If you lot remember, we recently learned that a modified Google Camera app was able to closely emulate the classy 'Portrait style' of the Pixel 2 devices on older Pixel phones, every bit well equally Nexus devices. Just, what'southward even staggering is that a similarly modified camera app has now enabled the portrait feature on OnePlus 3 and 3T as well.

Get-go reported on XDA Forums by Senior Member S4turno, the Camera NX app, which in itself is a modified version of the Google Camera app, was tweaked to fix the mistiness for the "Portrait Mode" using the config Huawei-angler for the Nexus 6P. With that modify, it was ready to be used in a host of other phones, including the OnePlus 3 and 3T. What was even meliorate was that it worked on non-rooted phones besides.

And so, nosotros downloaded (Google Drive link to APK) the Photographic camera NX app and tested it on our OnePlus three. And to our surprise, it worked out quite well on the first try itself. We weren't completely sure whether it would work at all, and expected the app to but crash on us, but the results are pleasing. Here's the sample portrait images clicked with this app:

Just as was the case with the modded photographic camera app for older Pixel and Nexus devices, this app was only able to observe man subjects. The pictures of human subjects are crisp with adept edge detection and realistic blur (non the faux bokeh issue that some apps force on these photos). This modernistic of the Google Camera app captures a outburst of photos to create the depth of field effect for the shots.

Unfortunately, the Photographic camera NX app is incapable of detecting inanimate objects to blur out the background effectually them. Nosotros tried using props just the app repetitively took only burst shots of such subjects, instead of 'Portrait manner' photos. While that'due south a little disappointing, the Camera NX mod is well-worth installing on your OnePlus 3 and 3T for some experimenting, peculiarly if your curiosity was piqued by the 'Portrait manner' in other phones.
