Could be bad HDR processing.

And how do I correct that?

I find it baffling that my Realme 6 took better long range photos than iPhone 13. And I bought this phone for thrice the price of the Realme 6 lol.

Most probably I am doing something wrong.

From what I have heard:

  1. Use 3rd party apps like Halide to take RAW and post process them yourself.
  2. Take every photo as Live Photo & use the keyframe that you like.

TBH, my iPhone XR took better photos in usual conditions than the 13 - at least more pleasing even if less detailed. Even the skin tones, at least Indian, were better on XR, 13 makes us all orangish.

I could tell one more solution, but then I would get down-voted in this sub. 😅

Thanks for telling me that. You can tell me that other solution in my DM.

Just buy a different phone if photography is your priority - get a Pixel or a Samsung - or hope Apple sorts their HDR algorithm. Watch some camera comparison videos in case you consider a switch. But I guess that is an expensive solution 😅

I am sticking with this phone as i don't take many photos and just use my wife's Samsung when taking family photos.

Photos aren't my priority as well. Also, I just bought this phone so there's no way I'm changing it. I didn't buy it for photography. I mainly bought it for the longevity that Apple offers . So, barring the long range photos, close up or normal photos are still dope so it works for me when I actually want some photos.

Cool. So let's keep using it and rant about HDR once in a while 😅

Not really. This probably will be my first and last rant about the phone (or so I hope atleast).

Either ways it was nice talking to you bud. Adios!
