That said, HTC also plans to keep feeding users updates on the camera and editing experience throughout the year so that is something for users to look forward to. I've noticed that UFocus works best on a bright day with a clean background. This gives users a photograph with a very shallow depth of field which in -turn gives them less choice about which parts to make sharp. AOSP ROMs (in particular Lineage) which use their own kernel, work okay with the CDMA variants, far as Ive seen. Low light = wide aperture = less depth of field. 2) Instance of custom ROMs not working on M8 CDMA variants (Sprint and Verizon) are mainly due to the fact that those variants use a different Sense kernel. Why does the autofocus even matter now that you have UFocus that will allow you to choose your own focal points? Simply put, the whole UFocus thing doesn't work very well in low light for purely logical reasons. Even in low lighting situations, it still acquired focus quicker than any other phone I've used which is a really nice feature for me since I do quite a fair bit of shooting in dim places. Off the bat, the autofocus struck me as being faster and more accurate than last year's model. I'm going to focus straight onto the traditional things that I like about the camera. This depth information also allows them to have some, erm, for want of a better word, "gimmicky" tricks like Foregrounder, which turns unselected areas of your photo into your choice of a pencil drawing, a zoom blur or a cartoony effect. This allows one lens to capture the image, and lets the other collect data on the depth of the image, mainly to allow the phone to do some clever post processing in the form of UFocus, a Lytro-like function that allows the user to change the focal point of a photograph after the picture has been shot. Now HTC has added some bells and whistles and one of the things you are going to hear a lot about is the Duo Camera that they have going on, where there are two lenses on the back instead of one. So I'm not going to really bother about all that stuff, and just talk about the one thing that interests me as a photographer the camera. They all say things about how well it is built (extremely) and how gorgeous it is (I concur), how snappy it is (definitely fast) and how great BoomSound sounds (what? I can't hear you over the music). Now lots of tech sites have already written all there is to write about the phone proper.
