Camera issue
I have purchased OnePlus 5 on the release day, in the starting , both the rear cameras were working fine.
but after couple of months, there was a problem with 20mp lens, I'm unable to use 2x zoom, even in very bright day light situation.
I've contacted OnePlus, they're trying to explain me that dual camera is only for portrait mode not for 2x, they are directly saying 2x zoom can be done by 16mp camera. then what's the use of 20mp cam.
OnePlus customer service team is not at all listening my words and even the words which has said at the time of launch by CEO.
fed up with the OnePlus support In India.

Front cam is samsung s5k5e8 5mp
Back primary camera - OV12A10 12mp
Back secondary camera - OV13880 13mp
Xiaomi lied here, both back camera aren't same but 12mp and 13mp, and they have limited 13mp sensor to 12mp. also crippled fps to 28. it doesn't record videos at solid 30fps.

Damn that sucks.... I thought it was imx 386 sensor as they were claiming flagship grade... I thought they would use mi 6 cameras at least... I think I would stick with my honor 6x which has imx 386......though Xiaomi offers best in that range... It does unnecessary claims... Mehh

For camera ? stay away from this crap. it's worse than Redmi 3s. i tried modded gcam with hdr+ on both phones and redmi 3s simply ****s on this so called flagship camera. feeling cheated by Xiaomi.
There is a video in YouTube which shows 2x zoom working even if the secondary camera lens is blocked. Seems they are only using a single camera and the telephoto one is fake. Anyone pls confirm.

Well color me surprised!! Just tested this, and you're kind of right when the Camera is in normal mode and you press the 1X or 2X button it zooms in AND takes pictures using the normal (primary) lens. However when entering manual mode the zoom lens does actually work and can also be covered.
This seems to be a bug in the camera software as it sometimes does use the 2X camera instead of the 1X camera. However i am on MIUI9 could anyone test this on MIUI8?

I don't think so its a bug.... In low lighting or less optimal conditions... It doesn't use telephoto lens to avoid degradation of image quality
This was in daylight, that should be wel above optimal lighting conditions. Could still be correct though but that would be a less then desired behaviour if you ask me.

Photo quality

Say "cheese", then rate this thread to express how photos taken with the Xiaomi Redmi Note 6 Pro 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!
I'm really happy with the photo quality on this phone, it's pretty good for the price (and in case anyone is wondering, yes, it's better than the Note 5 Pro). I'm satisfied with it but I still can't wait for someone to bring the Pixel Camera to this device, I'm sure it could improve the picture quality even more.
Photo Quality after latest update to 10.0.5 is reduced a lot...
Is there any solution on this?

Are you sure about this? To which version are you comparing this to?

I don't know about teh software upgrade, but if you look at the review of the Note 6 Pro in GSM Arena, go to 5.Camera and open the "photo compare tool", and select the Redmi Note 5 AI for comparison, the picture quality is much better than the Note 6.
The camera is supposed to be the same, but Note 6 seems to have excessive noise reduction and much less detail.
Anybody knows why?

I'm running latest MIUI software versions and the daylight quality shots with stock camera is excellent.
The night shot quality could be improved when compared with GCam.
Regards,
Photo quality is good, but I do not see as many details as with my previous J7 2015 (when I zoom in). But the overall image quality is much better (real colors, good lighting) .
I am disappointed with the camera cause the Mi A2 has better camera.

Hi
I have enabled cam2api with root (magisk) on a custom ROM (lineageos 17) and I cannot find a camera app that uses the full capacity of the phone cameras. I only get one 12MP on the rear camera and one 5MP on the front camera. I used gcam, open cam, lineageos snap...
Normally (on stock MIUI) it's a dual 12MP and 5MP cameras on the front and dual 20MP and 2MP cameras on the rear.
Does anyone know how to get the full capacity of the phone's cameras without going back to MIUI global ?

I think you said it otherwise: RN6Pro has on front a 20MP main and 2MP lens to depth and on rear, 12MP and 5MP lens.
I am using the Official 20200602 Lineage OS build and i can take photos with:
- The snap camera on rear can be shot with 20MP resolution and the front with 5MP.
- The Miui flashalble zip camera for android 10 can reach full resolution, but lack of front camera on manual mode.

Hi, I also have the official lineageos and tried to flash the canera after mounting system and vendor in TWRP but the app doesn't work. I don't know where I went wrong
*EDIT*
Actually it's working, I had to authorise access to camera in the properties
I'm still using the stock camera on stock ROM. Couldn't enable api2 as any attempts to unlock my bootloader have failed. I like the photo quality better than my wife's new 9 Pro Max. MP difference aside, there is less visible noise in 6 pro vis-a-vis 9 Pro Max. Same applies to selfie camera as well.
However, I do like the macro camera of 9 Pro max, and wish there was night mode on 6 Pro as well. Mi could just enable camera 2 API out of the box, but chooses not to for some reason.
Redmi note 6 pro image quality
The image quality is quite good. In this low budget price range Note 6 pro giving such good quality images. But after the latest update, the image quality is reduced. Idk it only happens to me or every Redmi Note 6 pro user will face this issue!!

I like to buy the best photo phone - is P30 Pro for me?

I like to buy the best photo phone - is P30 Pro for me?
I don't care for nothing like NFC and so on....
HELLO
Do You think P30 Pro is now the best photo making phone?
Is it also the best video making phone? Cause in videos Samsung tand to be the king here
I have Samsung Galaxy S8, will I be happy with:
1) photos of P30 Pro
2) videos of P30 Pro
?
How about the world situation with Huawei Phones?
I don't know anything about it. Shall I be calm and go head buy the phone?
S10+ makes worse pics than P30Pro in my opinion
Ive had this phone for over two weeks. I think the photo quality is good in most conditions. Then again I'm coming from a oneplus 6t. As for video the Sony xperia 1 seems to be the best gathered from reviews. I would say this is the best vetsitile camera. Low light conditions and 10x zoom no other phone can compare. Day to day shot this phone has impressed me. For me personally I bought this phone for battery life and camera and the fact performance is just as good if not better then top flagships
Photo quality is great, but battery life is amazing
I came from a S9+ and honestly... In a overall situation, I think that my old phone took better pics with the GCam app... The sharpness was higher, especially from pics of people.
In video, I also prefer the Samsung. When I try to record a video, the focus is in the most of time searching for a focal point, even if is in it face!
Isn't that P30 PRO is a bad phone, but in overall I prefer the S9+ with GCam.
You can only record videos in 4k 30 FPS which is a bummer. If you want the best video making phone, I'd suggest LG V40 or V50 (V40 has a limit of like 10 minutes in 4k 60FPS, not sure about the V50 though). Otherwise you can wait for the upcoming Mate 30 and Mate 30 Pro. Those phones should have 4K60FPS recording.
As for photos, the P30 can definitely take some amazing pics and has a great night mode (although it doesn't work for selfies like Pixel's Night Sight. Just a small thing to note.)

GCam is truly magical, I wish it was possible to port it for Kirin devices.
Im a mate20x owner but i can that all Huawei phones are extremely inconsistencd when it comes to taking photos. I think the main issue is the discrepancy between the viewfinder and the final photos. Most of the the times the picture will have diffferent exposure than the viewfinder and that will introduce tons of issues when taking point and shoot photos.
Also, the skin tones is really bad and seems to target Asian audience, i wish there was a way to edit them like similar to selfies.
Tldr, highly inconsistent software that you cant depend on when taking point and shoot photos.

[Camera FIX] It is time to replace the rear camera.

Hi everyone,
I think it is time to replace the rear camera in my OnePlus 3T.
Many OnePlus 3/3T devices have a problem with the focus in the rear camera.
I have two OnePlus 3T 64GB and 128GB and this problem occurs on different ROMs and on different camera apps.
The temporary way to "fix" it is a strong tap or strong shake with your phone.
My patience is over, and I am going to buy and replace the rear camera in my device.
Buy a new (genuine) rear camera for OnePlus 3/3T on eBay for £12-16.
eBay (UK) - https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm//142665660377
eBay (UK) - https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/264405403433
Do no buy Refurbished or non-Genuine cameras for £8-10.
The camera replacement process is simple:
<Mod edit: Removed>
I'll let you know if this solved the problem.
I had the same focusing issue which required replacing rear camera sensor (OP 3). I went to authorised OnePlus service center (in India), they offered free sensor replacement even though my phone was already out of warranty period. Apparently OnePlus has acknowledged this widespread issue accross OP 3 handsets and they are providing free camera sensor replacement irrespective of warranty period.
[UPDATE]
Finally I found time to replace my rear camera and the new camera works perfectly!
Best spent 12 pounds!
I think oneplus do the change also out of warranty. The rear camera focus issue is a very common issue, i had too (fortunately in warranty), but in any case is better to try an RMA before spend money (ps: i bought my op3 from oneplus's official site)

Switching to Ultrawide during video recording

Hello! I just recently switch phones from the LG V30 to the V40, everything is great except I can't switch from Main cam to Ultrawide cam while recording video. I do that all the time on the V30 and just disappointed the V40 doesn't seem to have that feature. Anybody know if that's possible? Or is there a V30 camera app port? Thanks!
I really miss that too! It's a shame that lg have done this where every other phone can switch lens while recording
Any solution? V30 camera port?
That's an intriguing question. I know of a plethora of Gcam ports but have yet to see one for the V30 camera.
There's the V50 camera that's available but idk if it will do what you want...
