Developers have exploited the Samsung Galaxy S9 and Note 9 to get root access on the Snapdragon models January 31, Unofficial LineageOS Sunny scenes give the sensor lots to work with and colors look really nice. White balance was sometimes off, and you can see the red flower below blew out the sensor a bit.
Sharpness was hit or miss. Sometimes the camera dialed in focus perfectly and other times it left my subjects a little soft. Noise is also an issue at times. You can see some compression artifacts in the dark areas of some photos.
