Super resolution would want to utilize the OIS to artificially shift the lens around instead of cancelling movements. I dont think they are exposing anything like that.

Turns out one doesn't have to. The users hand movements are at least one pixel as long as the phone is handheld. Just use natural movement to do superresolution.

Everything you need is available in the camera2 RAW API.

Using the users hand movements help cancel out various types of per-physical-pixel noise too.
