Camera quality - Mi Max 2 vs. Mi Max 1 - Xiaomi Mi Max 2 Guides, News, & Discussion

Hi guys, I took some photos on auto mode (without flash) on both Max 1 and Max 2.I feel that the rear camera on Max 2 is clearly better but still a step below Mi 5S and Mi 6.

thks for the photos

Thanks for the quick comparison.
I have a Mi Max 2, didn't have a Mi Max before but I'm glad the pictures are better.

thank you

Thanku

Can you upload a full size low light and a full size normal picture please?

I am still disappointed with the camera quality in Mi Max 2. Given the IMX386 sensor, macros should have been a lot better

Give this app a try, photo quality seem to be better than stock camera app, at least for me. https://www.xda-developers.com/google-camera-updated-zero-shutter-lag-xiaomi/

for me Google Camera HDR+ Port Updated takes better photo

Photo quality

Say "cheese", then rate this thread to express how photos taken with the Xiaomi Mi 5X come out. A higher rating indicates that photos offer rich color (without over-saturating), sharp detail (with all subjects in-focus), and appropriate exposure (with even lighting).
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
anyone can share their photos? How's the camera performance?
I have this device for testing purposes.
Can tell the camera is not that good. Pics are blurry and HDR mode is not on point.
Selfie cam almost does a better job than dual lens.
I heard and saw all kind of stuffs regarding the camera on reviews, from opinions (and photos and videos) where you can see the camera sucks to others where you see a great camera quality. This obviously will depend as well on the experience of the user.
I specially saw the camera seems to be very bad when trying to capture objects in movement.
It would be good if experienced people could share objective opinions of the camera on all the conditions.
Let's say the quality you get is absolutely random. Some shots will be good, others bad... it's mostly average.
Overall there's a lack of sharpness.

hey i want to but this phone, it launched in india as XIAOMI A1,
i am confused between A1 and MOTO G5S plus,
have you tried G5S plus camera ??
please suggest best mobile between XIAOMI A1 and G5s PLUS.
Wow, calm down. Here you can find my review about the Mi 5X.
http://www.frandroid.com/marques/xi...rtphone-abordable-qui-sait-presque-tout-faire
I'll be testing the Mi A1 soon. I've never got my hands on a Moto so can't tell you which one is the best, watch the comparisons... get the Mi 5X if you love Mi devices or maybe wait for the Mi A1?
Can't tell, it's up to you!
Taken in morning with 2x zoom from mi a1

i bought it before 10day ago, i bought it from amazon and now i dont know whether i can return it or not,
from where did you bought moto ? and how much refund did you get ?
and i believe, why should i exchange my mobile only because of real camera clarity ? amm getting confused,
i just want to stay with moto g5s plus because i know we will have some BOOM upgrades in near future
I just got my MI A1 as an upgrade for my 4 years old Nexus 5 daily driver. First impressions in Daylight the MI A1 outperforms the Nexus 5, but in low light the lack of OIS and relatively small 1.25 um pixel size means the A1 struggles a lot. Even getting a sharp focus is slow comparing with my Nexus 6P which has laser autofocus.
In comparison my Nexus 5 has OIS and 1.4 um pixels, and my Nexus 6P has 1.55 um pixels.
Taking into account the cost of the MI A1 however, this phone is a tip top performer and I have no compliants for what I paid. Very happy with it.

Here are some samples I shot with the MI A1, might post more soon.

outdoor camera is acceptable also when you use 2x zoom, but indoor very poor, so many noise and lack of sharpness
Yeah, acceptable but not tip top performing.
I mean, the Mi 5X/ Mi A1 is good for taking photo of people, but average quality is poor and outdoor result like landscape with HDR definitely bad. In HHT the camera sucks.
bad really bad camera
as a mi 5x user i can confirm this is the most accurate answer

Camera Ported from Xiaomi Mi A1 for the stock android

Here is the topic "[APP][1.0][LOS][AOSP]MIUI Camera Ported from Xiaomi Mi A1 by @stars2"
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-5/themes/app-miui-camera-ported-xiaomi-mi-a1-t3670607
I tested on redmi note 3 snap and it worked to take normal pictures, record videos.
But no beautiful mode, HDR did not work truly, no slow motion... A lot of other modes of MIUI camera.
I think these bugs will be fixed on the next version.
We always hope the MIUI camera working on stock Androids, now it is true.
Remember allowing permission after installation
Is it better than the ported google camera??

Should I get the Mi A1 over Asus Zenfone 3?

My needs:
- Good Camera, esp for indoor and low light use. Need a good manual mode. Portrait mode not important, need to shoot mostly landscape pics.
- Good build quality
- Long lasting battery (~1-2 days for light use)
- Light user, no gaming or other heavy apps
The camera of Mi A1 vs Zenfone 3:
- A1 = dual set up vs Zenfone = single 16MP camera
- A1 = no Laser autofocus, no OIS
- Zenfone 3 = Sony IMX 298 sensor (same as on on oneplus 3t), not sure about A1 sensor quality.
- Maximum shutter speed : 0.067s for A1 vs 32s for Zenfone 3
- Zenfone 3 has a full featured manual mode (more options for shutter speed, WB, ISO etc)
Zenfone 3 comes with a full glass back, and is now more than a year old. The price is half of the launch price. What would you advise. The mi A1 or the Zenfone 3?
go for the A1. some users of ZF3 are having camera issue like blur camera or not focusing.
The camera is not great you need full light. The dual camera is more of a marketing gimmick.
Battery is also not great but does well for the capacity.
For battery I recommend the Lenovo P2 although I have no info on the camera.

thanks for that info, I went thru the Asus forums and like you said, users have complained of camera focus issuing. Are ther any known issues in the Mi A1 that I need to be aware of?

thanks for confirming what i suspected about the camera on A1. Lenovo P2 was on my list, but its bigger and heavier than I need.

Both are 5.5" the size difference is minimal. Slightly thicker due to the monster 5100mAh battery
Expandable memory up to 256mb and HD video. The main drawback being that pesky Lenovo software but community is active on here.
If you take indoor photos, don't buy Mi A1. It has awful low light performance (and I mean awful. The pictures come out grainy. However it has slightly improved by Oreo update). The daylight photos come out amazing though! Landscape photos are amazing.

Yes, i know.. it is all about software... The hardware, as you see, it is capable to shot great pics in low light condition

Thanks! Zenfone 3 is better IMO. In A1, images are blurry but in Zenfone 3 images looks sharp and better.
You can get sharp images with the a1 but there is kind of stabilisation so it's hard and videos are better in zenfone 3 too, if you switch to night mode in the zenfone the Image is very bright and pretty clear but night mode on a1 does nothing lol

I had a Zenfone 2 Laser and man, how much I hated that phone. It has bloatware with takes a big part of the space and like a Custom ROM fan I am no one even cared for that device. So, I recommend any phone over Asus ones ^^

Is HDR+ enabled? The difference between the pictures is huge.
Yes, hdr activated on both cameras, to have a fair comparison..
The camera it is more than i need on the phone.. my complains are two other thing: it is huuuge, compared with my ex iphone 5s and i don't have a real fm radio app.. maybe when we will have the kernel source...

Mi A1 with Google camera or Redmi Note 5 Pro

Hey guys! I just wanted to know is Mi A1 with Google camera performs better than Redmi Note 5 Pro or not.In stock Camera comparison Redmi Note 5 Pro is a clear winner but what happens with Google camera port.Can someone please compare and post some images and video samples of comparisons.
Thanks!
Mi A1 with GCam should be noticeably better than stock Redmi Note 5 Pro but, the Redmi will surely be able to run it too (just give it some time). The 5 pro should be better once it gets it. It is also packing a somehow superior sensor, Sony's IMX 486 while the A1 is running a generic omnivision sensor.

Redmi Note 5 Pro also can use GCam port later. So guess...who is the winner ?
the winner or the best one.. is the one we have right now.. :cyclops:
Current - it would be the Mi A1 with GCam . Soon , once the Note 5 Pro do have the Gcam installed , then my guess it will be better than the Mi A1 . Looking at the N5 Pro comes with a better lenses installed .
Yes mi a1 is batter far from note 5 and 5 pro.
MI A1 IS BEST MOBILE TILL TODAY 19-2-18-... USE IS CHEERAFULLY:laugh:

Any long exposure module for our device

Hello,
Any developer can make long exposure module like 94 seconds in max pro m1 for our devices?
The 1/4 max. Exposure is decreasing camera value of our phone despite of having one of the best sony imx 486 sensors....

Is it possible???
Because I think asus has to add the libs for that
The only missing feature. I hope Asus Dev will add this long exposure up to 32s on their upcoming Android 10 for Max Pro M2. If that happen, I will not upgrade to a higher phone probably SD730 or the upcoming SD865.

Also 1080p60fps. This phone is lock of capability to record 60fps video.

Need to edit imx486 libraries (by hex coding) to enable 32sec long exposure....and for slow motion that is softwere limitation due to stock android(by ****ty asus)
