Nougat X-Reality and Super Vivid mode (bug on loading photos)

I've noticed that, after my Nougat update, it takes a lot longer for X-Reality or Super Vivid to "kick in" when viewing images in the Album app. It always had a slight delay but the the delay is now a ridiculous 5 seconds before it locks in when selecting an image to view with either of those two modes turned on.

If you try to zoom in on a photo, you can see that the photo is looking unclear, until the x-reality kicks in...
I saw that this bug it's happen only if you saw the photos horizontally, if you saw them vertically the time loading it's a lot faster...

It seems worse with 20-23 megapixel images.

Is anyone else experiencing this?

I've tried downgrading the Album app, clearing app data, etc. No effect. It appears to be a system-level bug.

Lol. Sony "support" always ask to reset phone. A completely mindless and lazy response to every problem....

The error was fixed with the 8.4.0 version. The album works again as usual

Except there are no disabled cores, just people taking the reports off an un-updated app as gospel
