Few more examples from today
Asus camera, HDR off, colors are realistic, but forest is too dark
Asus camera, HDR on. Grass and forest are just mess of pixels. But overall brightness increased.
Open camera, HDR mode. Details are not really good, but colors are ok. Grass and forest don't look like a trash.
Come on, Asus team, Zenfone 8 has better ranks in camara reviews while have the same sensor as Zenfone 7 (pro). I believe solving this issue is feasible task for you.
