So, does the Android 4.4.1 update make the Nexus 5 camera go from zero to a hero? Well, kind of. From the sample images of The Verge, the improvement in images is quite significant. Google has also made the images more contrasty and vibrant in nature since they wanted to “make photos pop a little more.” The images, post the update, are extremely good but still fall a bit short of the iPhone 5s level. However, the device will now always manage to provide you with usable images rather than the blurry mess it produces most of the time now. Google is not done with tweaking the Camera performance of the Nexus 5 though. Burke assures that his team is working on “tuning the edge cases” like strangely lit situations. Hopefully, Google will continue improving the Nexus 5 camera performance with minor updates down the line.
