I've heard it's sony then samsung and the most crappiest is omnivision which I have. I don't have a keen eye on differentiating good from bad photos. I'm a point and shoot person and don't care much about quality. It's all the same to me. Regardless of the camera brand, this phone is dirt cheap anyway so why bother.

Im currently searching for sony sensor part on internet, then im going to buy it and try to replace my omnivision with sony, its easy fix.. much harder is to find camera module on internet... can you please look, and if u find pm me with link?

i suggest EVERYONE to not buy this phone at all..all you will get it now is (Omnitech Sensor, qtech_ov13855)
because they start this model this year with sony sensor...after that they replaced with Samsung sensor and now new releases all them with Omnitech Sensor
so..
if your lucky ..you will get as same as old Redmi note 4 which Samsung
or for sure Omnitech Sensor, qtech_ov13855
and totally forget about Sony ....cuz they are GONE...
who bought it from march to may got sony sensor

i consider himself super lucky....but before that we should ask ourself...why we will enter a gambling thing if what we targeted is 1 to 3
you cant open the box and check before you buy ...that's normal
there is alot of phones in the market better than this...and adding between 20-50 $ to another is not that much to get better ...
yes i agree if you get sony ...go for it.....but now ...its just gambling and cheep move from xiaomi...

I've had 15 redmi note 4 or 4x passing in my office (for friends or colleagues), all of them with the Samsung sensor.
Production months from the beginning till August.
Can someday tell me as how to check the camera sensors OEM? Tried AIDA64 app, it doesn't fetch the camera sensors OEM details..

From reviews online ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Djrc6HLUpTA&feature=youtu.be ) they seem pretty good.
$170 is not even comparable to $900 or w/e the going price is right now. Anyone have one?
i bought it from dhgate for $160 incl shipping.
i like it. its jellybean with quad mediatek cpu (1/2 speed of note 4).
but it works great.

Display Resolution: 1280x720

I ordered a fake should be here in 2-3 days. Will see if I made a mistake or not.
it shows real values if you enable it.
*#*#9228#*#* for fake control/engineering menu.
Framaroot will root it.
Anyone willing to try it out?
We should see what happens when the clone is rooted! I wonder if it messes up the phone! :silly:
nothing. its a stock jellybean with a note 4 theme on top. if you root the fake iphone 6 you will also see the same thing.
Can someone run a benchmark?
Sent from my SM-N910C using XDA Free mobile app
OK if you want a low end big phone, however the efficiency of the components and the battery will be poor. The screen will be low grade and bare in mind that these people are still making money. For me it's false economy and not worth it.
The radiation are high on the clone version of Note 4, it is bad for you if you want to use it for your daily phone haha. But I guess it is great for a person who cannot afford a note 4 if they just want to have the look for note 4.
radiation ? its a cheap ass 3G jellybean clone phone. hardly any radiation and hardly any power emissions. the battery is only 2000mah and it stays on longer than the actual note 4.
Got the phone and here are my impressions.
1. Root was easy and works the way it does
2. Battery lasts all day with minimal use
3. Responsive screen, the same as my note 1 if I am not mistaken.
4. The antutu it comes installed with is fake and puts your score over 20,000. Uninstalled it and reinstalled a legit version and get a score of 19000.
5. Camera works great,gps works great, finger print lock works.
Any other questions I can answer? Lets just say for $170 I am super happy. I get a stylish device that works fairy well and is much better than my note 1 i717.
Oh I forgot to mention that air gestures work as well which was a big surprise actually.
yep and the air gestures work better than the original note 4 lol.

yes really. dont you have a note 4 you can try it on ? samsung has removed a lot of the air gesture stuff from the note 4.
anyway, doubt the LED case will work - the pinouts and OS and samsung drivers are missing. i dont have an LED case to try on both so not 100% sure but i doubt it will work.
also the fingerrprint reader does not work - its a fake BTW.

Wait the fingerprint reader is fake? How sure are you? When I set a lock I can unlock it but nobody else can.
yep its fake. it just measures the direction of the swipe not the fingerprint. try swiping with your other fingers and it will unlock. or ask someone else to swipe the same way you do.

did Samsung add Camera 2 API to the Note 4 firmware?
This is the only one thing stops me from buying it.

hi,
Something interesting what i read today, May something to take note of?
is that the just announced LG G4 will support DSLR type features and RAW capabilities and o yeah removable battery .. plus Fm radio? Specs overall seems promising? Interesting and i will watch the LGG 4 reviews closely
Good luck
LG 4 is hmmm this is not THE Note
Note 4 is still superb but camera lacks API 2.0 it seems. However when we would compare camera GUI to the LG cam GUI I would choose Samsung over LG anyway.

hi ,
yes, i have a similar viewpoint ( i have Note 2 ,Note 3 and Note 4 and Note 8.0 )
No removable battery , no sd slots ,....no camera 2api ( raw capablities ) ...is the Note 5 in line for these "improvements"
If so, i feel i must have alternative choice ,so for me LG is staking a strong claim ?
Its only the Spen functions ,that will keep me back .
Anycase when Samsung did not implement Camera 2 api ,i gave up hope and instead upgraded my old bridge camera to a Nikon DSLR ..(so i am happy ).
good luck
I think I will not like Note 5 so much due to its build. I think its gonna be like S6, very glassy fingerprint like material. I had S6 in my hands and I was disappointed how uncomfortable it lied in my hand.
But we will see.
LG G4 if becomes a superb phone I may give it a chance but it may end like One Plus One's camera - hugely hyped, final effect is poorer than skeptics thought.
I still sit with SGS II, there is always something I do not accept - in S6 I do not like materials, in S5 no camera stabilization.
Note 4 I love but no API 2.0.
Lg G3 camera is quite low (I mean GUI and possibilities).
note 4 is getting camera api so if thats holding you back you should not wait. the SD note 4 is having problems with camera api with long delays when taking pictures which is why it is not released. get an exy note 4 and camera api 2.0 will come in a future update.
Why the exynos? Won't Qualcomm ones have it to?
if they cant fix the bug only the exys will get it.

no thats still under debate. work has not even started on that yet.
So to get final conclusion it is highly unlikely Note 4 would get Camera 2 API implementation.... what a shame.
I say this because when you think it is obvious if Samsung wanted it to be, they would add it in LP release together with x64 CPU support.
Can you guys help us with this PETITION for RAW Support??? Please, thanks in advance, cheers:fingers-crossed:

If the redmi really has a 5.5'' display, than you can't compare it in any way to the 1+x. It's just a different segment.
I don't know if it will be way cheaper...
You will have to get the 3GB / 32 GB version to have something good.
The 4000 mah battery is attractive if you use a lot your screen.
I don't know anything about the MediaTek's MT6795 (Helio X10) chipset.
For me, the OPX opponent is clearly the Mi4c.
No stock android or likelihood of stock android due to the MediaTek SoC, also will not support all EU 4G bands so I'm not interested. As already mentioned, it's also too large and it's not confirmed that it will have expandable storage at this time.
I am looking forward xiaomi redmi note 3.

Why worry about updates when everything just works great? Not worth for the sacrifice of anything, no matter how big or small. It's like switching bank just because they pay you 50 bucks for doing so, when in fact your previous bank was better when it came to long term usage.
S8 is a great phone, if your battery is not then replace it if you are confident enough. Not saying the Mi 9T is a bad phone but no point if you don't see any benefits apart from software updates.
i am going to do the opposite (mi 9t to S8+) after 1 month of use, the only thing that you will notice is the battery life everything else S8+ is better for sure ( i owned S8+ before) even the premium feel.
If your mainly focus is camera, I don't think it will be a great enough trade. Mi9T camera is very good in my opinion, but S8+ is probably still better. Front camera may be where Mi9T takes advantage. Battery definitely destroy S8+, there's no competition in that regard. Daily performance with normal usage and tasks will be faster and more fluid, but in heavy games S8+ will still perform better. My previous phone was a Moto Z2 Force, which had Snap 835 + 6GB RAM and performance is the same, with Z2F still performing better at heavy games. Everything else I feel Mi9T is better, specially battery.

If you are comparing S8 and Redmi Note 7 and Mi9t those are different devices in productivity, Mi9t is far more faster than S8 or Redmi Note 7, if you'd even compare Antutu score right now Mi9t reaches 247k which is far more than S8 or Redmi Note 7

Benchmarks do not interest me, in addition the GPU of exynos 8995 is much more powerful for games.
All I'm interested in is the camera for photos and videos.
Edit: so quoting ur post messes up my post... Dunno why
Maybe downgrade Gcam. I can see the Mi 9T being a great phone for you. You do not seem to be a heavy user which will benefit you even more in the Mi 9T due to that power efficient chip at the sacrifice of... No sacrifice. Because this thing easily plays games at high settings, although I'm the kind of guy to play on low:silly:

Unfortunately you are wrong as for the GPU
Why is Qualcomm Snapdragon 730 better than Samsung Exynos 8895?
2nm smaller semiconductor size
8nm vs 10nm
204MHz faster GPU clock speed
750MHz vs 546MHz
1 newer version of DirectX
12 vs 11
Has out-of-order execution
Supports ECC memory
The CPU speed is basically the same but the rest of the specs is much more advanced on Snapdragon 730
But all of you forgot the fact that S8+ is almost 3 years old. S8+ is more prone to having things stop working
Finally, I did it !

Time flies I guess... ( I actually forgot lol) the more prone to stop working thing isn't really something to worry about, like... I don't know how to explain this one.
Simply put, worst case scenario something stops and it makes you upgrade. Like nothing bad about it, you have already bought the phone and used it for quite a while, enough to make you want to upgrade.
Or are you implying that when that does happen its value is significantly reduced when selling it. That makes sense.

Nooo, why!! I'm joking. Man I wish I owned a S8 right now I don't know why:laugh:
Wait are you planning on selling it?

Checked. Time really does fly lol) and you have the plus model so I'm glad you did it. Upgrading from a great phone to another.
Patience pays off
Hello All,
I am upgrading my 6T and trying to get some feedback regarding if the 8 Pro is still a good value a year later and worth buying. I know that there are 2 newer OnePlus phones out there, but just trying to get some feedback. Rooting is important to me and I will typically find a ROM and Kernel I like and stick with it. Obviously, the 9 isn't going to have any support for a while. What about the 8T? Is the 8 Pro a better phone than the 8T?
Thanks, in advance.
If you are not anti-samsung. I think you should go for Galaxy S21+. I'm not very happy with my OnePlus 8 Pro, saving some money to upgrade Samsung. They disabled photochrome, they are not keeping their promises about software updates. Screens has too many issues, screens are made by Samsung I know but Samsung's RMA is much better. My father was has Galaxy Note 8 and he had screen burn-in and they replaced it under a hour. We just took a burger and they replaced all around chassic and screen of phone after we came back to Samsung Center, living in Turkey btw I'm not sure they have this quick repair service everywhere.
And OnePlus 9 is just scam for me they are slapping Hasselblad brand to everywhere but Hasselblad isn't designed their camera they just calibrated colors at software level. OnePlus phones are really solid in many ways but they are trying to sell their devices same price with Samsung's. I think the only disadvantage of Samsung is they are cutting software updates too soon and some people does not like OneUI much. Btw If you have questions about 8Pro I can answer them I'm still using it.

They disabled photochrome, they are not keeping their promises about software updates. Screens has too many issues, screens are made by Samsung I know but Samsung's RMA is much better. My father was has Galaxy Note 8 and he had screen burn-in and they replaced it under a hour. We just took a burger and they replaced all around chassic and screen of phone after we came back to Samsung Center, living in Turkey btw I'm not sure they have this quick repair service everywhere.
And OnePlus 9 is just scam for me they are slapping Hasselblad brand to everywhere but Hasselblad isn't designed their camera they just calibrated colors at software level.

Yes it is but in Samsung root or unlocking bootloader instantly voids your warranty unrecoverable way. Actually after Android 11 hiding root is nearly impossible or you need to do so much work to hide root from banking apps, most of them fails.

I've had my Pro 8 for a year with no display or heat issues! It's still a great device with good XDA members support and development! Cheers
Dont buy samsung phone unless you can get snapdragon variant. Even then you should go for 8Pro just because it's officially supported on lineageos - which is really nice thing to have if you decide to go that path.
Then again, if you have samsung accessories like watch active 2/3 then staying on samsung's ecosystem will bring you some benefits.
Things to note.
If you root the Sammy you will add a 1 to your bootloader counter otherwise known as blowing your efuse chip, you're losing warranty, Samsung will blame anything you have wrong with your phone on this, even if it's completely unrelated, that's a lot of money btw.
With OnePlus it's reversible, Sammy is not.
And let's have it right,, it's a Samsung, there's a lot to dislike, If it's the exynos version, lol you've just bought a turd, it's not even the same phone as the US / south Korean version.
If it were me in your situation i would go with the 9 pro, cameras are superb, the device will make more of the processor / GPU that the Sammy will for sure, dual SIM, probably faster 5G, lighter OS, quicker updates, much better community on XDA, more custom ROMs, better kernels, better screen, faster screen, better audio, better gaming, the list goes on and on.
Keep in mind the S21 and S21+ have display issues as well, but it's software based. Samsung calibrated the displays horribly, where Vivid is WAY oversaturated, and Natural is washed out and dull. The Ultra doesn't have the issue, nor does any model of the S20, outside of the S20 FE.
The FE, S21 and S21+ are STILL waiting for fixes, been this way since release for all of them.
I have a spare S21 I'm debating selling to get an 8 Pro, but I'm really hesitant simply based on size and OP's update/software/general issues.

The vast majority of people who own an 8 pro do not have issues mate.
Software (updates anyway) has been prompt.
Overheating, screen issues etc, every phone has these issues, 99% of people on each phone won't, but that 1% will definitely be vocal and so would I.
Chances are though you won't get a faulty device..

Thanks. So I can get the 8 Pro for $599 + tax, etc. At this price is it worth it even if I only use it for a year? I am coming from the 6T

The 8 Pro had been around for a year which you can read about on this forum. The 9 is still too new to form any final conclusions.... Your choice

I would never buy a last gen phone when current is available. That being said the jump from 7 to 8 pro was significant, absolutely nothing wrong with the 7 pro at all, but I just feel that the leap to the 9 pro is more of a tweak.
Improvements mostly all around, but development would be lacking compared to the 8 and 8 pro until it gathers speed, knowing the OnePlus community it will pick up. Devs will move on to it.
The choice for me would be obvious but that's me.
CPU and GPU on the 9 are superior, no amount of tweaks will combat that difference.
8 Pro is the best from the 8 series. 8T is 6 months newer than 8 pro, but not as good.
9 is one year newer, so you got 1 year plus at the updates. But if you want the best buy 9 pro. Again the best in series.
NO, absolute NO to Samsung ! The best phone at Bloatware !

Hello All,
I am upgrading my 6T and trying to get some feedback regarding if the 8 Pro is still a good value a year later and worth buying. I know that there are 2 newer OnePlus phones out there, but just trying to get some feedback. Rooting is important to me and I will typically find a ROM and Kernel I like and stick with it. Obviously, the 9 isn't going to have any support for a while. What about the 8T? Is the 8 Pro a better phone than the 8T?
Thanks, in advance.

I got the 8pro. Great phone. Not a huge fan of the curved display, but that's my only complaint. Love the phone. Let me know if you have any other questions.
I did get a used like new 9 Pro which is awesome so far!
The 8 Pro is still a beast even after a year!
