So, as the title says, I compared the Xiaomi MI 5's camera to the Galaxy S7 edge and the Nexus 6P. Xiaomi boasts about the 4-axis camera of the Mi 5, but the handset's camera performance is not that impressive, especially in low-light.
Image quality comparison: http://www.androidbeat.com/2016/04/galaxy-s7-xiaomi-mi-5-nexus-6p-camera-comparison/ -- The 6P results surprised me the most
4-axis OIS vs EIS comparison: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VfostgeWHrA -- Just look at how good the Galaxy S7 edge's OIS is.
If you have any questions about the handset, please ask away. I will try my best to answer them.
thx for this review. very informative.
as custom ROM cannot enlarge pixels on CMOS, I hope CM13 for Mi5 will one day feature EIS toghether with OIS for video, just like Galaxy S7 Edge does.

Sadly, that's very unlikely.
can you say something about audio quality in video recording? my s4 for example is very weak in loud environments but that is exactly what i am interested in

Which country do you live in? Cause Mi8 is $350 and Note8 is $830
Just want to ask if you know something about note9's camera sensors. In note 8 the sensor used on snapdragon models was slightly better than exynos one.
Do you know something about it on note 9?

Look at the thread posted on here about note 9 camera sharpness. It will explain all .
Sent from my SM-N960U1 using Tapatalk
Xynos phones usually use Samsung ICOCELL camera sensor as opposed to Sony. This camera, as much as any one moans about sharpness is better than the Note 8 and on par with the S9+. I have tested and had all of them.
The samsung sensor is usually on par if not slightly better than the Sony to my eye.
The Galaxy S10 Plus is Samsung's new 'everything device' for 2019, disturbing the equivalence of the last barely any ages of handsets. Its 6.4-inch screen is so huge it uproots the front camera, while its triple-focal point back camera can take ultra-wide photographs. Concealed advantages like an in-screen unique mark sensor and Wireless PowerShare offer a lot of clever highlights – simply know Samsung is requesting a ton of cash, as well.
Why you should purchase like me Samsung Galaxy S10 in addition to is this more prominent than Samsung Galaxy S9 in addition to?
The new highlights presented in the Galaxy Note 10 territory may have made the S10 territory feel somewhat obsolete, yet that won't be the situation for any longer. On September 23, Samsung will be porting some of the Note 10's best new highlights to the Galaxy S10 plus territory, including AR Doodle, Live Focus Video, the refreshed Samsung Dex work area mode, and that's only the tip of the iceberg.
First of all, I’ll give you key features on Samsung Galaxy S10 Plus
6.4’’ inches Dynamic Amoled punch hole full view display and 93.2% screen to body ratio.
There has superior chipset Qualcomm Snapdragon SDM855 7nm chipset
Octa-core 2.73Ghz *2 clockwise speed.
Internal storage can get in 128GB / 8GB RAM, 512GB / 8GB RAM, 1TB / 12GB RAM
Selfie camera 10 MP, (wide), Dual Pixel PDAF
8 MP, (wide), depth sensor
Main Camera 12 MP, f/1.5-2.4, 26mm (wide), 1/2.55", 1.4µm, Dual Pixel PDAF, OIS
12 MP, f/2.4, 52mm (telephoto), 1/3.6", 1.0µm, AF, OIS, 2x optical zoom
16 MP, f/2.2, 12mm (ultrawide), 1.0µm, Super Steady video
AKG Dolby Atmos sound
Li-ion 4100 MAh battery with 15W fast charging
I got more compatibility with s10 plus except for S10
The S10 territory's as of now fit camera is certainly getting the greatest lift, with included highlights from the Note 10 including the Live Focus Video that foggy spots foundations around a subject, and the fiendish AR Doodle that gives you a chance to draw on faces in enlarged reality — but at the same time it's getting a Night Mode for the forward-looking camera, upgraded video adjustment, and the Note 10's video editorial manager.
This phone seems so much better for a better or the same price or lower price
108MP an AMOLED display 120hz even the phone looks much better especially the camera module
good enough chipset
god i regret getting the redmi note 9

Fortunately, I keep thinking that I'll go for either Redmi Note 9 Pro or POCO X3 NFC from last months. But thanks for my "patience skill" so I could save my money to consider this phone.

i'll probably upgrade in 2 or 3 years to the newest redmi phone if they keep getting out phones like this
this phone is absolutely amazing for the price hopefully redmi note 11 will also be the same if not even better
also poco x3 users are absolutely SEETHING
Using redmi note 7 from 2019, was looking for a good option for upgrade. I guess I got the perfect one, Redmi Note 10 Pro.

I wouldn't say many poco x3 are seething. spec wise is practically the same except the AMOLED and camera. I'm happy with good panel LCD screen on the x3- won't need to worry about burn-in/bleed if one is a heavy gamer. x3 is still one beast of a phone for the price!
Well Redmi Note 10 Pro (Global) and Xiaomi Mi 10T Lite (Global) are the two phones I'm looking for which for the 6/128 GB variant seem to cost just about the same (~265 €). My focus is on:
DualSIM, dedicated microSD, good stabilized video 1080p and possibly also 4k, very good day and ok night pictures, fast cpu/gpu (Antutu over 250k), Fast LTE with Bands 3,20,7,1,32 (8,38,28a), 3.5mm-Jack.
Both devices have those features. Unfortunately no Snapdragon 8 series devices with dedicated microSD and 3.5mm-Jack exist, so I need to stick to this lower mid-range class.
Redmi Note 10 Pro real advantage of 108 Mpx Samsung5K HM2 f/1.9 over 64 Mpx Sony IMX682 Exmor RS f/1.89 needs to be proven by side by side dedicated picture and video test. With GCam probably because of the slightly better processor in the Mi 10T Lite (Snapdragon 750G) it seems possible to activate EIS for 4k Videos. With Snapdragon 732G this seems unlikely to be possible. Also Mi 10T Lite has 3 of the 4 important 5G Bands in my area, could not find info that a Note 10 Pro Snapdragon Upgrade to 5G will be released (Global, the Note 10 5G is based on MediaTek).
So the advantages of Note 10 Pro (AMOLED, 108 Mpx, Radio FM) currently seem less important then those of Mi 10T Lite. I will wait until detailed camera comparisons are available, possibly with GCam for both devices.
EDIT: I need to correct that Mi 10T Lite (Global) according to several reviews on YouTube has no dedicated microSD (only hybrid DualSIM). Many techsheets online seem to have dedicated. This is a bummer and will leave only Redmi Note 10 Pro (Global) as candidate for my next buy.
5x optical zoom would have sold me, guess ill have to wait for another phone

Been using xiaomi devices since redmi 2 prime, their phones are either hit or miss. Sometimes they absolutely cheap out on hardware. My current redmi note 7 has a LCD panel and it shows signs of screen burn. These manufacturers are pumping out phones without worrying about quality and overall experience.

i had the lg v20 and it was supposedly a "flagship lg phone" but it was just a mess the two screen design didn't look at all and there was a lot of burn in
i didn't even know LCD panels can get burn in until i got that phone
Thing is the redmi note 9 variants have good, stable roms by now but it took months and months to get there, which was an exercise in frustration I'm not going to go through again, so I'm perfectly fine with my 9s and will get this one once/if there are solid roms available with all bugs squashed. Not interested in smelly Mi Ui.

The first stable (GSI) ROM was from sooti. Other non GSI ROMs weren't maintained long before you had to switch to another ROM. That's a pain.
I hope the Redmi Note 10 Pro or newer Poco phones will get better community support.

i faced problems with my redmi note 7 screen burn and the battery too

accubattery show me the capacity at 2000mah i cant find where is the problem with those new batteries
i ordered this new note 10 pro and i hope it will be a good choice
if not i will never buy xiaomi phones again
Need to rant again: I do not understand why in every series and also other brands with a better CPU (Snapdragon 8 series) they omit the microSD slot (not even shared) and in most cases also the 3.5mm-Jack. Is Google enforcing this?
The Redmi Note 10 Pro with Snapdragon 888 (865 also ok) and maybe better RAM specs would be awesome.
Don't worry. Exchange it with note 9 pro, you'll get a wholesome discount of 100$ or 9000₹.

Yeah, but why has it more interfaces-expansion-ports/connectivity then Xiaomi top phones? I would pay more and think the CPU, microSD slot and Jack alone would not make the phone much more expensive (like 600 $ or more). At least Redmi K40 Pro with Snapdragon 888 does cost only ca. 460 $ but has no microSD slot and no 3.5mm-Jack. Since everyone, not only Xiaomi, is doing it I do not understand it: why not use the integration of those two features as advantage to the competition? There must be some hidden policy behind this IMHO
Hah: It almost seems Xiaomi did use the strategy I wanted at least for the Poco X3 Pro (PX3P) presented yesterday! It has a shared/hybrid microSD slot and 3.5mm-Jack paired with a Snapdragon 860 - Antutu ~486k. By comparison the Snapdragon 732G in the Redmi Note 10 Pro (RN10P) has Antutu ~288k - Snapdragon 865 has Antutu ~615k and Snapdragon 888 has Antutu ~730k - so not top flagship performance but solid medium/premium territory, while the Snapdragon 732G now seems more budget level: even the Snapdragon 678 in the Redmi Note 10 (available for under 200$) delivers Antutu ~277k.
In addition PX3P has the advantage of UFS Storage 3.1 against UFS Storage 2.2 in RN10P. But it lacks FM Radio, AMOLED and also has no 5G. The "better" POCO F3 also presented yesterday by comparison is a rebranded Redmi K40 Pro (for Global) with Snapdragon 870 and 5G but no microSD (some sheets say it has Independent SD slot) and no 3.5mm-Jack and also good prices. The Poco F2 Pro at least has the 3.5mm-Jack.
Of course the camera in the PX3P seems disadvantaged with 48MP, f/1.79 IMX582 Exmor for the main lense, but fast CPU and memory are attractive for fast video editing etc. I will try to compare reviews with a focus on 4k EIS and 1080p EIS Video.
It's crazy how Xiaomi is coming up with these phones. Xiaomi is just competing with itself for 350USD and below phones right now

I agree. Some small competitors like Realme and Vivo try to deliver similar price/performance, but because much less models will be selled, much lower community support regarding GCam, CustomROMs (like Xiaomi.eu/mi-globe, AOSP/LOS based, etc.) will be available and so in my case much less attractive at similar price.
OnePlus has left this price territory and other interesting devices from Asus, Google, Samsung, Motorola just miss features and/or cost too much in comparison.
The thing I would like to see on sub 350$ Xiaomi phones is OIS (optical image stabilization) paired with gyroscope EIS stabilization to get top notch videos at 1080p or even 4k and at the same time less shaky/blurry images. But it seems Megapixel of the sensor are the stronger (selling) argument for the time being. In my case a top quality 12-18 Megapixel image is more then enough, I dislike the washed out details at zoom 1:1 of Smartphone best resolution pics on a Monitor screen.
