Cameras and Photo Editing

At the beginning of daqhris's travelogue on Western soil, between 2017 and 2018, a Xiaomi smartphone, purchased in Beijing around 2015, was the tool of choice for capturing and editing still images.
In early 2021, a smartphone operating under Android One software system was purchased to meet the need for a dedicated mobile camera that regularly receives secure software updates from its American creator, Google.
This low-cost phone, designed by a Finnish firm and bought on Belgian soil, was equipped with two rear cameras, endowed with a 13-megapixel primary sensor and a 2-megapixel depth sensor.
The Nokia's longevity and endurance earned it the merit of being compared to a cheap handheld Air Force One in the hands of a moving target of celestial attention and protection.
In a stunning turn of events, all of the devices cryptographically signed as his on a cyberspace board in the summer of 2022 were hit by a cyberattack, deniably sponsored by a nation-state, in the following season, proving Android One's resilience to ill-willed interference.
All of the photographs were edited using Android software applications before being sent off to cyberspace, namely Snapseed (uncolouring into greyscale), White Border (wide white framing), and Scrambled Exif (removal of native metadata). All manually processed in a procedural manner to attempt escaping from real-time hostile surveillance and third-party sabotage.
Overall, the two cameras had basic features to balance highlights and shadows in photographs, produced decent detail in well-lit conditions, and assisted with scene recognition and optimization, but these cameras were limited by the mediocre sensors.
