Upgrade the physical camera of the device. - Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers

Hi All,
I wonder if me can put the front camera (physical) of the Xiaomi Mi A3 in place of the front camera of the Xiaomi Mi 9.
Xiaomi makes many cameras, but with bigger megapixels, so I would like to know if it is compatible.

Mi A2 vs Mate 10 Lite

Hello. My brother is searching for a new phone,and asked me to post this here. Mi A2 and Mate 10 lite are the same price here. Which one is better for everyday use,speed,screen and camera,and best bang for the buck.
Xiaomi Mi A2 all the way. Better rear cameras, better front camera, better software and support, better SoC, USB Type ... I can not see any of Mate 10 lite advantages except bit larger battery, but it depends of software and soc if is any better and 3.5mm jack.
I used to have the mate 10 lite, it's great overall but for the same price Xiaomi is way better (regardless of the ****ty customer support)
I love every aspect of xiaomi mi a2,and was going to buy it but i heard about the goodix fingerprint issue. Do you know if it still exists,and how many phones have this sensor. Im from Bosnia and i dont know whether it will be fixed soon.
Go for Mi A2, this is not even a comparable, mate 10 lite could be compared to Mi A2 lite.
Are there any other probems with this phone besides the fingerprint issue?

What camera is better? Mi 8 lite o Mi A2?

I would like to buy or mi 8 lite or A2. I am interesting in camera. Which do you think is better and why? Thank you
Mi8 light has better camera. Main camera has the same sensor like Mi8 or MiMIX2s but the software is different and of couse has no stabilisation.

Mi 9 or K20 Pro/Mi 9T Pro - Camera?

Hi guys,
1) I'm able to buy the Mi 9 or the Mi 9T Pro for about the same price. Which one should I choose if I value camera quality?
2) Does Gcam work on them both?
Overall and with more features (cause camera is about the same) go for Mi9.
If you dont like the waterdrop notch go for Mi9T Pro...
But in my opinion Mi9 have wireless charging, ir blaster - future proof.
...the good about Mi9T pro is higher battery and back design is more appealing to the eye, but more thicker than mi9.
Wireless charging and ir universal remote are very useful for me. Plus the Mi 9 is thinner and lighter. So I went for the Mi 9.
But K20 Pro has a bigger battery and a headphone jack, so...
The other thing is I'm not a fan of the popup camera. When my phone is on the desk by my side, I prefer unlocking with face unlock, which instant on Mi 9.
But you can't go wrong with either.

Question Coming from Galaxy S10+ (Should I upgrade?)

My current phone is Samsung Galaxy S10+.
I really like its 2K AMOLED screen, stereo audio, UI and the cameras.
My main focus is photography and videos (mainly with rear camera) and I get mad that I can't take a good astrophotography and I don't have a fully compatible GCam (My only cons.).
What do you guys say abaout an upgrade to Xiaomi Mi 11?
It will worth sell my S10+ to buy it?
PS: My budget can't afford Galaxy S21 Ultra or Mi 11 Ultra.
Thanks bros!
Stay safe!
These smartphones don't have enough light gathering capability for good astrophotography.
At this time my prime choice is still the Note 10+ running on Pie.
No Q or 11 scope storage or other cpu cycle robbing security bs.
The Note 20U be my next choice.
Both Android and Samsung have been playing the wicked game of drop the ball.
Nobody is the winner is when playing that game

I know we are talking about smartphones, not DSLR cameras.
Take a look at the picture attached. I got this one with my old Mi 9.
When I mean "astrophotography" is take picture like this for fun.
What I want to know is if I'll have a better photo/video package comparing to S10+

That's a damn fine shot
I'm surprised you could do that with any smartphone. Pro cams have more precision controls to easily dial it in.
I know what your saying but a 10 mm lense grabs only a fraction of the light that a 67 mm can. Size matters
Used cam bodies and lens can be had at reasonable prices if you look.
I coming from mi 9
It wasn't worth to upgrade to mi 11, in my opinion
The mi 11 ist better in low light, but the camera is slower , slower taking pictures or slow autofocus or wrong focus.
Since I own both of them, I would probably recommend the Galaxy S20FE over the Mi 11 if you are interested in pictures. The 3 lenses on the FE really give it an advantage over the Mi 11 in my opinion (especially with the 3x telephoto). I also prefer the software processing on the FE over what you get with the Mi 11. However you can use Google Photos editor to adjust color and dynamic range on the Mi 11 photos to make them look as good as you get on the FE. The Mi 11 DOES capture more detail with the 108MP lens for sure.

I aimed for Mi 11 to keep the 2K AMOLED screen and stereo audio. I really appreciate these features.
I'm not the guy that take a picture and post it as it was taken, I always edit them in Adobe Lightroom.
I'd like to fell free to use GCam and its features without headache or limitations (My S10+ is Exynos).
Here with S10+ I make macro pictures using 2x zoom lens + macro lens I made myself.
Check the picture I attached

I see your'e really talented in mobile photography.
Currently I do own both Mi 11 and Mi 10 Pro. They do share same sized 1/1.33" sensors, but Mi 10 Pro has wider aperture of f1.69 (exif says f1.65) and Mi 11 has f1.85. Also Mi 10 Pro has 8P lens which helps with distortion and I do see some more details too.
I've attached my test image using same settings and Mi 10 Pro has clear advantage in gathering light vs Mi 11 (check picture - on top Mi 11, on bottom Mi 10 Pro (brighter). Mi 11 just has a little bit better processing and makes it just a bit quicker because of SD888. But SD865 is better optimised system at this moment. Also the processing of SD888 advantages does not matter then using gcam - there Mi 10 Pro has clear advantage. The slower aperture of mi 11's f1.85 could be possible better on daytime, but it's not the case.
My advice would be to go for Mi 10 Pro / Ultra if your'e interested in photography/ videography and especially in low light. Mi 11 Ultra is best, but it is pricey.
Mi 11 is overall very nice device to hold and use, I'm loving it. But not battery time - for me it's bad as it was with mi mix 3.
Some users suggested S20 FE with their 1/1.76" f1.8 sensor - if it's 5G version you get SD865 and imx555 - this is best regular bayer sensor for mobiles on android. No BS like on those "now ordinary" quad or nona bayer sensors with artifacts. I like how it performs. Made some test's with Mi 11 in comparision - in day time I prefer S20 FE's videos (photo's are great, but details of 27mpx wins slightly with mi 11). In low light Mi 11 has slight advantage of gathering more light / better noise control of bigger sensor (raw images). In some cases S20 FE wins, in more cases Mi 11. I hate Mi's default camera processing, so using only RAW images shot on pro mode or using GCAM. Then it has clear advantage over S20/S21 basic models (otherwise not - because of inconsistency).
Also good phone for astrophotography would be Vivo X60 Pro + - big sensor 1/1.31 and F1.57 aperture.

Themes / Apps / Mods Camera comparison: Redmi Note 10 Pro vs Xiaomi 13 Pro vs Xiaomi 12S Ultra

Few months already I'm considering upgrade first to Xiaomi 12S Ultra and after that to the newly announced Xiaomi 13 Pro ...
I would make this EXPRESSIVE upgrade only because of the new 1" camera sensor, because I'm absolutely HAPPY with all other hardware & software capabilities of my old good Redmi Note 10 Pro ...
Today I have made a simple Camera compare between the 3 phones using the Original pictures made from the very detailed reviews made by GsmArena.com.
I read their web page and watch their YouTube channel especially when I consider a phone upgrade ...
I have made a copies in a google drive folder below of all the pictures on the same place or scene which they have made reviewing each phone.
You can examine and compare each picture using the link below:
https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1OLcGHzF4wlWT8539NMHNQpR0Jy41oiG-
CONCLUSION:
I'll NOT change my Redmi Note 10 Pro for a 6-7 times expressive phone only because of the good Marketing and Hype!!!
I'm shooting 95% pictures during the day in GOOD light and in this conditions as you can see alone there is almost NO ANY DIFFERENCE between the pictures made with Redmi Note 10 Pro / Xiaomi 13 Pro / Xiaomi 12S Ultra ...
FACT!
Yes, I understand very well that the video capabilities and the Night picture quality with the 1" sensor and new chipset are much much better, BUT as you can see alone comparing the pictures made during the day in good light actually there is NO ANY difference!
I can't see any big difference between the pictures made in good light condition with phone with cost of $200 and $1 000+
The 1" sensor is Very Good Marketing, Xiaomi!!!
Our Camera hardware is producing very good pictures if you are shooting with Redmi Note 10 Pro using the Leica Camera Mod in RAW and export the images using Lightroom app on your phone you get almost brilliant detail and quality!!!
But have to say that the latest fine tuned Leica Camera Mod especially version LeicaCameraMod-4.7.230121.1-GLSPALR.zip
is generating JPG pictures with very good overall quality shooting in the regular Photo mode.
