Hello
Does Xiaomi Mi 8 make such good photos/videos as Samsung Galaxy S9+ (according to DxoMark it should make the same, both phones achieved 99 points in photo/video category)?

Nope. Samsung videos are unbeatable according to reviewers. Photos might be better on the mi8.
It has a 105 dxomark for photo. Video dragged it down.
Also, techtablets made a video on the mi8 vs op6, the audio recording capabilities of the mi8 are very very bad (might be a software issue). You should check out that video.

I've just heard rumors that Xiaomi is preparing such thing. But it's a rumor!
Manual mode is not as good as even my old Mate 8. Huawei's V10 is better.

How about AUTO MODE?
I only take pics in that mode. The only thing I could want to set is flashlight.

For the price it's the best, only thing comparable to it is the op6b but that phone is priced at little higher. If you don't do much video just buy this phone you'll be very happy with it.

You can't freeze the action using auto mode. Sometimes you get lucky. The auto mode of Huawei Mate 10 is quite good and the phone can take good action shots.
The reason why I didn't get this phone is I can't get K9 mail to work unless you use the global ROM. With the Mi 8, K9 works but only sometimes. It's a step up from my Mate 8 though except for the manual mode. Might have to use the global ROM too but unlocking the boot loader takes a long time!

What brand and model you are reffering to in freezing?
Unlocking bootloader takes a long time in which brand?
Cause if You have Xiaomi just fill a request form in case you'd have to wait many days. You might get lucky and get it quickly.

Mi 8 has at least 3 different (sub)models.
Isnt the most expensive Mi8 better than Mi Mix 2s?

The most expensive will be the explorers edition with a transparent back and an in-display fingerprint sensor, also with a smaller battery (3000mah).
I'm in HK and for me here the mi8 is a lot cheaper. You can just check their website and compare prices.
Mi 8 6gb + 128gb = HK$3,699
Mi mix 2s 6gb+ 128gb = HK$4,399
Mi mix 2s uses ceramic on the back I think that's why it's more expensive.
The explorers edition is not out yet so no prices on that.
The lowest end which is the mi8 se has an all together different design and a different chipset(snapdragon 710), first released on this phone itself.

It's not the same camera modules in Mi 8 SE. So as I wrote, no. Mi 8 and Mi 8 EE have the same.

Sugestion for a new phone

Hi guys
My Mi5s is two years old, so, i've started to look for a new device, first, i thought about Poco F1 coz its a good phone and relative cheap, then mi9 dropped significantly its price, it was above $500 when its launched and now, we can find this piece of tech for about $359.
So, when i was willing to buy, i saw two new phones which got my attention, k20 pro ($379) and Lenovo Z6 pro ($389).
Lenovo is the best in specs and battery life
Poco is one year old, but still great and also cheaper of all of them
Mi9 is the 2nd best 2019 phone yet (OnePlus 7 is the best)
K20 pro is a kind of improvement of Mi9 (like Mi9s).
These are my opinion, what about your? could u help me to choice a new phone?
Cheers
I wouldn't post a question like this on a Mi9 forum...
My option would be, Mi9! Surprise!!
Just buy what you think is best for you, and stay offline for the next 2 years, you will always have a better option a few months later.

K20 pro is not an improvement . It stands between mi9 and mi9 SE , same processor than mi9 , worst cameras
Nope mi9 is superior than k20 pro in many things

to summerize :
Redmi K20 Pro:
• Notch-less display
• 3.5mm audio port
• Larger battery
Xiaomi Mi 9:
• Newer Gorilla Glass screen protection
• Higher telephoto and ultrawide camera resolution with wider apertures
• IR blaster
• Wireless charging support
• HDR10
Why ask a specific phone forum? You will get biased answers.
Even if those who say Mi9 are right hehe

also b28 lte band in favor for mi9 which makes a big diff in my city!
btw, if they have same processor and theoretically same modem (x24), why do they not have the same bands? its software (firmware) or hardware problem?

Mi8 vs Mi9

Hi,
I own a Mi8 which can be replaced to a Mi9 for just about 30USD.
does it worth it? please share your thoughts.
of course it's worth for 30$.. check comparsion at site gsmarena
I have them both and for this money it's worthy.
How about Camera and so - is there any difference noticeable?
nothing beats having OIS, so skip and wait for Mi 10

Redmi 8 camera type ? OV instead of SONY ?

Me getting global Redmi 8 with OV13B10 sensor instead of SONY IMX sensor ... What a downgrade.
Same here.. I would never buy Redmi 8, but how could I know that my global device will have this Omnivision crap..
I got the EEA version with IMX486, but my friend who has the global one has the Omnivision one which sucks.

G cam

Hey , i was just wondering if there's already gcam for redmi 9c . Currently im using gcam but its version is too old i.e. 3.2.045 .
Not working for me
Are you having problems with your cam? mine looks so blurry and grainy when zoomed in, not normal because even an old redmi 2 prime take better pictures than mi 9C
Can I get the link for the GCAM you're using right now? Cause mine is Go Edition.
