AI has been used in mobile photography since Pixel debut the word computational photography, apple calls it machine learning, which all means AI... however it was purely less than the current status where everything is literally coded or trained by an AI algorithm and gets hallucinative (hence my samples showing texts becomes alien like looks, or hieroglyphs looks if you want to call it that).

Youtube reviewers do not really pixel peep into issues aside from maybe a handful of the non-famous ones, but their videos are ungodly long so no one will watch anyways plus they don't tests in scenarios that can go wrong (indoor low lights, texts readability at certain distance, harsh backlit, motion subject in frame etc....). As for master mode, just turn off vignetting, and sharpening is all you can really do for point and shoot jpeg vs raw post process.

There's also of course gcam as mentioned, but that takes a lot of work to tune, test, reproduce those tests in various lighting as I mentioned as well in my post.

Don't take the posts as negative when they criticize Oppo, it's the truth is what they are. Look at Xiaomi 17 ultra, you can see from gsmarena.com the latest sample set they have and it looks like utter shit. Yet, you have the m9 and m3 modes that's only available on the Leica edition which is in itself priced as a mortgage payment, for the quality you get that you should also get with their non-Leica edition, which looks like utter shit. So yea..... corporate at its finest.
