G3 camera with Google Camera App

Hey guys,
So who's given the G3's camera a run using Google's Camera app? I've tried it several times alongside the native camera app, and I realize that Google's Camera app doesn't seem to work as great as the native app.
It seems the laser assist autofocus does not work on Google Camera, since it takes a second or so for the camera to focus, instead of a few milliseconds with the native app.
HDR on Google Camera does not work as intended, either resulting in an image looking like normally shot or even at times darker.
Video recording using Google Camera app is limited to 1080p instead of 4K.
There is one thing positive with the Google Camera app though, and that it has a larger field of view compared to the native camera app. The Google Camera app almost makes it seem that the native camera app is zoomed a few times closer than it should be. I'll try to take a comparison shot to show you guys what I mean, but you can simply download the app and try it yourself
Next, I will try how the camera works with CameraZoom FX app.
Well that was expecting since I believe lg made things to work with stock...but let us know which third party works best!
I use the Google app for photosphere and lens blur.

Coming from an N5, I quickly got the Google Camera after getting my G3, but then realized the only reason I liked the Google Camera was because I shot everything with HDR+. I do miss that feature from the N5, since the G3 does not a good job at white balance in some lights, and HDR+ would always get me great looking photos, but could only shoot static targets and would take a while to shoot.
I also tried VSCO Cam and it doesn't offer much when it comes to camera settings, so things end up looking almost the same as stock, but with the slower focus like you mentioned.
Did someone come up with a way to change the way the stock camera oversharpens low light photos? It's pretty bad.
Has anyone tried LG Camera on the G3?

I only installed the Google Camera for photosphere. There really isn't any other reason to.
Also, I think the stock LG camera does have a lens blur effect.

Facebook 3D photo

Note 10+ works with facebook 3d photo by using live focus mode.
However, it doesn't work with front camera, only works with rear cameras. Not sure why.

Maybe because Facebook 3D photo uses TOF sensor which is only on the back of N10+, it can only use rear camera?

So it doesn't work on Note 10?
I have no idea, never used Facebook 3D photo, but whole idea of 3D is to get depth data and TOF sensor is the one providing it, which Note 10 doesn't have. There is a way to take large number of pictures from all directions, analyze all the data, estimate the depth and therefore create 3D view without TOF, but it's prone to errors and distortions, so maybe they use this method. Actually I'm not very happy with Samsung 3D scanner, since they eliminated scan of people in latest update, so I was planning to test third party apps over the weekend if I get some free time and now Facebook 3D is on my list of apps to test, if you want I can post what I find and figure how it works. All I need is another digital camera, where I can see if TOF sensor is used and sends IR signal during scan.

Is there any way to use front wide-angle camera in video call on my pixel 3xl?

On my pixel 3xl front camera is disabled but front wide angle camera is working fine. But I can't make any video call because front camera issue.
Please tell me. Is there any solution to use wide angle camera as default camera or anything else
