Does anyone use a Note 2 prior to Note 3?
I'm interested in the quality of Note 3's camera relative to the Note 2. I've seen reviews saying that for outdoor pictures, the Note 3 quality is very good. But indoor is OK at best. To me the Note 2 camera has sufficient quality for my use both indoor and outdoor. So I'm interested in how the Note 3 camera performs when compared to Note 2's.
Thanks in advance.

From the various reviews I've seen, the camera on the Note 3 is only bested by the Note 2 in low lighting situations. The Note 2 had a "night mode" which helped in low light. The Note 3 does not have this mode and the reviewers say it suffers because of it. However the PhoneArena review suggested to turn on Stabilization in low light which helped the Note 3 achieve better pictures under those conditions.
I have both phones and the Note3 camera is the better one in all conditions Sharper with more details and more natural colors

Note 3 color is much constant and vibrant and sharpen, but it is just a slightly.
The important point here is Note 3 camera focus speedy fast, I can much more easier capturing compare with Note II.
The low light capability of the Note 3 camera is much worse then Note 2. I hope that a camera FW update will fix this. But I think that it is more of a sensor thing. ..?

mate, How About Camera video Recording?
I watched lot of videos on youtube and sound like S7 edge with 12 Megapixel is better than Note with 16 megapixel? What do you think?
For me Camera is most imported.
Don't use camera recording so don't know but every day use not worth s7 edge

My wife has the S7 edge and I have the note 5. The S7 edge camera is definitely better but not by miles. I will say the Note 5 is much smoother. When messing with the wife's phone it has an occasional hiccup. I never get hiccups on the Note 5.

This is only under low light-levels that this advantage is evident. I still prefer the Note5 for daily use

MP make no difference in quality and probably virtually impossible to replace the actual lens let alone swap it with an s7 lens plus alot more than a lens goes into quality. You can put a $10k lens on a $100 camera but doesn't mean you're gonna have $10k quality pics lol

I have both s-series and note-series phones i.e.S6 edge+, s7 edge and note 4-5..But as per my personal experience note series rocks over s-series...m using note 5 as my daily driver with nought port rom which is running buttery smooth than official nougat of s7edge...Battery life is bit less but compared to differences i.e.note5 with 3000mAh and s7edge with 3600mAh we can't just compare both phones straight enough but getting 4hrs of SOT which is enough for me..:laugh:

the Note 7 is discontinued anything being sold under that name now is a refurb of the original model with a different battery. The Note 8 as of right now is an unconfirmed rumor (if anyone can confirm it please I would love a new model as I do love the note series of phones) what is being released in April is the S8

You might want to wait a few months to see what kind of developer support the Note 5 Pro gets.
As for the Note 5 ("Vince"), there is hardly any point ditching the Mido for it - it is apparently only a rebranded version of last year's China Redmi 5 Plus, and the main difference between it and Mido is its bigger screen.
I don't think that I myself, need to upgrade to Note 5 or even Pro because its not that much differences to our Note 4. This device is already a beast for low budget phones. But if you ask me for upgrades, I prefer to change to either Mi Note 2, Mi Mix, or the most realistic middle low budget yet powerful: Mi 5 series.
I mean, the 820+ processor is sexy.
And its my dream as I am a hard gamer.
Someone here switched from Galaxy S7 or S7 Edge to Redmi note 7 ?
s7 edge to redmi note 7 here. What's up?

I would like to know if it's à good idea to switch from S7 to redmi note 7 And how is good thé Xiaomi in picture, screen, speakers, battery life, power compared to s7.
Thank you.
Didn't have an S7 but did have a Note 4 Exynos and Honor 8 before I got the Redmi Note 7phone.
Honestly, speed will probably feel about the same since S7 had the Snapdragon 820 processor.
Gaming performance will probably be about the same as well.
The screen isn't amoled so if that matters to you, you're probably better skipping the Redmi Note 7 and getting the Mi 8(snapdragon 845) or the newer Mi 9(snapdragon 855 with quad hd and dual speakers).
Either of those will definitely be an upgrade to your S7 in multiple ways...
Processor, functionality, performance, build quality, battery life, camera, gaming etc
Mi 8 can now be had for under $400 new as well if price matters to you
Thank you for responding.
My S7 is exynos one and I know that Mali GPU is more powerfull for gaming. S7 has à good display but it's too little and had burn in.
I want to know how is thé remdi's camera compared to S7 has a good One. My brother buyed à redmi Note 5 pro and S7 photos are much better

I'm not sure... S7 photos may be a little better since it was the flagship of the year a couple years back.
If you're worried about photos, I'd get the Mi 8 or if you can afford... Skip the Xiaomi budget line altogether and go straight for the The Mi 9.
Don't get me wrong... Redmi Note 7 or it's twin brother Mi 8 Lite are both spectacular phones especially for the money to value quotient. They pack a hell of a punch and are popular globally for a reason but coming from the S7, if you're not willing to compromise a little bit in the area of video and photo quality, you're better off shopping for a Xiaomi flagship.
Either phone (Mi 8 or Mi 9) is the flagship experience you want but the Mi 9 will blow you away and be the true upgrade you're looking for

I just got a Redmi Note 7 today, and it will replace a ZTE Axon 7 (Snapdragon 820, like the US version S7), so I'm in a similar position.
Haven't used it much yet, but initial impressions are very good. I just run some tests on both phones in Geekbench Pro, and the Redmi Note 7 won in some areas, while the Axon 7 still smoked it in some tests. You're right, the overall performance should feel pretty similar to the S7.
Benchmarks aside, I'm happy to have a new device that is fully up to date - stock Pie (that I'll dump in favor of LOS as soon as I'm able, haha), a big battery and efficient CPU, a really fast fingerprint scanner in a natural position (meaning NOT on the front), a big screen (any bigger wouldn't fit my pocket), VOLTE, a decent camera, and some support on XDA. It took me a while to decide to buy it because I was concerned about it not having an OLED screen but now I don't think it's going to be an issue - it looks good. Works with Mint Mobile (T-Mobile) here.
Only Day 1, but I'm satisfied so far, especially for $200!
RN7 is way better .. except for the sound quality and the weight (rn7 is heavy lol)
These guys have nailed it!
Think you'll be happy with the phone especially for the price.
I know I am.
Use it for a while.... If you don't like it, sell it for a more expensive flagship.
For me it's so good I don't feel the need to have a flagship phone anymore!
Just saw a review on Amazon with someone who mentioned they upgraded to the Redmi Note 7 from an S7 and raved about it.
Check out the review for the Blue 4GB RAM/64GB version.
It's one of the newer reviews.

I got it this morning and yes, the redmi is so heavy. Sound Quality is better on xiaomi but i was using dual speaker sounds on S7 wich makes a plaisent stéréo effect. Camera is a bit better on S7 Thanks to live HDR, dual pixel technology and à good noise réduction.
That's awesome!
Can't wait until you try GCam.
Think you'll be pleasantly surprised.
Also try open camera for 4K video recording?

Yes Redmi note 7 is next level in term of screen size, entertaining purpose, everyday all around. Battery life 2 days on minimal use. Picture not as good as s7 edge
I replaced Huawei P10 whit RN7 and I'm surprised how better it is comparing to P10. Screen picture quality is way better and camera whit Gcam too. P10 have Leica lense blā, blā, but I don't like Leica look and that camera overexposes picture, loses detail in texture whit smoothing, makes picture to oversaturated and colors too neutral. RN7 whit GCam is neutral, exposes good and colors are good. If You like overprocessed pictures then You might want different camera app.
P10 is not S7, but I can say this phone is good. Only complains are weight, and writing is a bit hard for Me in position as I hold the phone. Of course there is minor things like screen is a bit less bright comparing to P10, plastic body, speaker can be more clear, still usb 2.0, no nfc, no IP rating etc. If You don't want to spend alot of money on phone as I do then this is solid choice. For that extra 250€ I would spend on phone I can buy alot of different things for Me.
Both my wife and I just bought the RN7 yesterday to replace both of our S7 Edge, personally I notice the screen resolution difference between the two, I miss the notifications staying at the top, miss the app draw and the camera start up speed is a lot faster than the RN7. The main reason why we switched though is the battery life, both of ours are the US version which use the Snapdragon CPU which only give us around 4 hr SOT, and I pretty much have to charge 2 or 3 times a day (yah on my phone all day long ) , now with the RN7, without doing anything, I just got 8 hr SOT with 10% left ....so yah wire free all day and way cheaper than a flagship Samsung, I know I can get over the cons very soon.

Plus we can help you negate some of the flaws
To get the original look with the added app drawer, install Poco Launcher from the Play Store and you're done with that part.
Screen res? Can you actually notice S7's higher pixels per inch count? Nothing to do about that though.
To overcome the lack of permanent notifications at the top, install Notch Test (Notifications for MIUI) and set up the position, give all permissions to the app, autostart, set battery restrictions to none, and lock it in the app switcher so MIUI can't kill it off. I have the icons position set to 215 from the left and 36 from the top. Works great and mitigates the issue completely (issue for those of us not coming from MIUI, accustomed to "permanent" notifications).
Camera start-up - nothing to do about that unless Xiaomi updates the firmware to do so. GCam takes even more to start, but the image it produces is more than worth the wait.
I am debating on whether to get the S20 4g version or the note 10 which came out last year
Both are similar in size , similar ish specs to the average person they wouldn't be able to tell in day to day use.
Also note 10 you can get around £500-£600 on eBay which makes it alot cheaper then the s20
What are your thoughts ?
It all goes down to the 120 Hz screen then in your case. If you care a ought about 120hz, get s20, if you don't, then definitely Note 10+. I don't suggest you get the base note 10. You won't find much difference between note 10+ and s20, they're literally only a few months apart.
Note 10+ is better you will get the S-pen features if you don't give much priorities for the refresh rate.
Cameras will be way better on S20 and so is the refresh rate, Note 10+ is obsolete, S20 for me, compact with good battery backup
Note 10 is bigger than S20, most noticeable in width. I have a note 10 and was comparing to S20 in CPW. S20 is much easier to hold on to. Button placement, for me, is more preferable on the S20.

I have both and camera is not better, its actually worse in some cases.
I don't like the fact that the Note 10 has all the buttons on the left... what were they thinking?
Then there's the shape of the display... weird curve... the S20 is not nearly as curved... it's almost flat.
And all the buttons on the right side.
Plus the 120hz is a nice bonus
