I think I accidentally replaced the title with a '!' while submitting the bug report and I can't really find a way to rename the title now. The actual title for this issue was supposed to be 'Too much delay between flashes taken during image capture (on Pixel 3a)'.
Extremely sorry for the inconvenience and thanks a lot for the help and support!

Use torch as flash on Pixel 3a/Pixel 3a XL
The flash sequence using AE precapture on Pixel
3a and Pixel 3a XL is slow and often cause the image
to be blurred.
Using torch as the flash will achieve a better image.
Relnote: "Use torch as flash on Pixel 3a/Pixel 3a XL
to improve the speed and the captured image quality
in dark"

Thanks for filing the issue. After investigation, yes it is slow when capturing with flash in dark. So we changed it to use torch as the flash instead. The results shows using torch not just can be quicker but also the quality is better than using flash. The Jan release will contain the fix.

Thanks a lot for fixing this issue! Hope this issue gets resolved in the next release (by the final confirmation from the Pixel 3a user).

can you help on this one. Enabling the quirk on Samsung A3 seems reasonable.

Description
We had previously filed an issue regarding the flash ( https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/205373142 ) which has now been fixed with the latest release. However, our Pixel 3A users are facing another issue with the flash after the latest changes.
While clicking a photo there are two flashes (one to light the scene and another for the actual photo). Generally (for other devices), this delay between these two flashes is minimal (a few milliseconds).. however for Pixel 3a (specifically in the dark) this delay has been tested to be more than 1 second which indirectly causes the focus to get deviated while taking a photo. (The focus getting changed due to this was the main issue being faced by the user.
Thanks a lot for all the help and support!
