Android One Moto X4 front camera specs? 16mp or 4mp? - Moto X4 Questions & Answers

I know that this sounds really stupid, but does anyone else with an AndroidOne version of the Moto X4 only have a 4mp front facing camera? The specs on the Motorola and the Google Fi website both show the front camera as 16mp, but my device (purchased through the Google Fi website in early November) only shows a 4mp front camera...
Did I just get a dud or is there something I'm missing?

On mine, front camera defaults to 4MP. I changed it to 16MP in camera settings.

Moto Camera app defaults to 4MP, but can change the front camera from 4MP to 16MP. Google Camera app can only go up to 4MP.
I wonder if it's really a 4MP sensor, and Moto does some resolution upscaling to market it as a "16MP" camera?

Camera Fix

So, I downloaded Camera360 pro to test something, since I couldn't find the settings in the stock camera.
Here is the standard blue hue that everyone is complaining about, set on Auto.

and here, I've set it to adjust for flourescent lighting.
So, either you need to download a camera app with these settings, or wait for moto to fix their camera with the proper settings.

Nice! So do you like Camera360 better? Or are you just using it for now until Motorola fixes their camera
I did some experimenting yesterday, and I like Camera 360, but what I found with it, the standard camera and Vignette as well was that the blue pictures come from using the flash. If you turn it off, the pictures come out nicely, assuming there's enough ambient light.

Taking clearer pictures on the M7?

I know that the M7's camera is nothing to write home about, but some pictures I take come out very sharp and clear, others not so much. I took these two pics minutes apart and (obviously) in the same lighting conditions:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
#1 is much sharper and clearer than #2. It seems the stock camera app will allow the image to be captured before the camera is finished focusing. Then it's hard to tell if the shot is truly in focus on the small screen. I go home and upload them for editing and find half the shots I take are slightly out of focus. Most of the pics I take are posed or of still subjects, so I don't need instantaneous shots. I'd rather have the app wait the extra split second and focus properly for the clearest possible image.
Is there any way to change the settings in the stock app, or a 3rd party app that will take clearer images? I don't mind spending a few bucks for a paid app if it's good.
Bump.
Anyone?

Question Camera 50MP? [SOLVED]

All of the specs of this phone regardless of where you get them from (Google GSM Arena etc) all state that the camera has a main camera sensor of 50MP. But every picture I've taken so far has only come out at 12.5 MP.
Am I being thick, or does it only work in a special mode. For example I took this as a test this morning in 'Camera' mode.
The settings are full resolution/full image (4:3) and it only came out at 12.5MP as the screenshot shows.

How do you actually get 50MP images?
Thanks
Google uses pixel binning for the camera software where they combine every 4 pixels into 1 super pixel for superior quality. That's why the resulting image is 12.5mp instead of 50mp.
Thanks for that.
Just re-read the camera part of the GSMArena review and it says it clear as day there! Must have just skimmed that when comparing etc.
I must admit, I'm not a big taker of photos, but I saw the 50MP part and simply expected 50MP images.
I'm coming from a 4a so expected bigger images
