I believe the two possibilities of the rear camera sensor are either the Sony IMX345 or the Samsung ISOCELL SAK2L3.
To check which version you have:
Download AIDA64 from the Play Store
Open the app
Click on "Devices"
Allow it permission to access the camera if asked
The sensor you have should be written on the "Camera ID" section
If it says SLSI_SAK2L3_FIMC_IS you have the Samsung sensor or if it says SONY_IMX345 you have the Sony sensor

Interesting, didn't know this thanks. Would be interesting to see the differences in picture between the two sensors. Maybe somebody has one of each?
Samsung Unlocked in the US (Snapdragon) and I have the Sony sensor

I got mine here in Australia and I don't know if phones bought here have different camera sensor or they all come with the Samsung sensor. But given the choice, I will always pick a Sony sensor.

external USB camera for A3 (2017)

What do you mean by external USB camera?
Does anyone else have the Samsung Neon flip cover?
I can only get it to glow for the stock sms app and calls.
No glow notifications for Whatsapp or Viber, or is there a hidden setting I haven't found?
Thanks

The 2017 are so new, I went with the Galaxy A5 2017 instead of jumping on the A7, I was afraid the A7 would be just too big for me.
I have a Sony Xperia Z3+ and like it for the most part but it doesnt have fast charging and the battery is not all day, Many reviews say that the battery will last all day on the A5 2017, since I get it tonight I will set it up and test tomorrow and see.
I know its a step down from an s7 but its only a short step from what I see on the reviews.
At half the price new ( 329 here in USA) it seems like a bargain

I have a Samsung Galaxy S5 mini. How would an A3 2017 be in comparison? Would it be a justifiable upgrade? I got marshmallow on my S5 mini now and it works so much better but I think I might like to save for a new phone and I need something in a similar size and form-factor. The best I could find was the A3 2017 but I am unsure, can someone walk me through how much of an upgrade it might be and what the benefits would be?

The A3 2017 is way better, first you will get a bigger screen ( 4.7") compared to the 4.5" found on the S5 mini, you get a 13mp camera vs 8mp on your current device, 0.5GB more RAM and way better Soc ( Exynos 7870 octa ), also the A3 2017 have a bigger battery (2350mah) compared to the smaller 2100mah found on the S5 mini.
Software wise you have the latest grace ux on the A3, which is lighter, faster and more beautiful,with AOD support like on the S7 edge.
You get IP68 certification, dust and water proof resistance, a fingerprint scanner and a way better design, so premium.
So yes it's worth, the A3 7 blows the S5 mini of water.
Thanks! Do we know what the update/OS upgrade cycle will be on the A3 2017? Like, will I get new OS for 2 years, 3 years etc? If I go for a new phone like this A3 2017 (almost certainly going to be the one as I love Samsung and need sub 5") I would want it to last me for as long as possible.
Hello, I have purchased Redmi Note 4 (sd 625) India via Flipkart. The same phone is also purchased by my friend via Flipkart.
But I notice variation between my and his camera and when I dig out the problem I come to the result that both phone has different camera modules.
I've a Sony imx258 back camera but he has a Samsung S5k3l8 back camera. So, I contacted some more Redmi Note 4 users and some of them have Samsung Sensor while some have sony.
So my question is while flashing any custom ROM will my camera work or not? As I think the camera blobs for both devices are different.
Note:- To view your camera sensor just go to Settings>About Phone>tap kernel version 5 times>version information.

Camera works fine for both sensors . However, the slow motion and other feature enabling tricks work only on Sony sensor.
You got lucky. Xiaomi changed the camera sensor from first Sony to Samsung and then to Omnivision. Sony is the best, Samsung is fine and Omnivision is the worst out of this three sensors.
You shouldn't get any difference if installing a custom ROM

My friend broke his RN4 display and he's selling the phone and when I asked him, He is willing to exchange the camera sensor(He has the sony sensor whereas I've the samsung) Can I just pop out his camera sensor and plug it in into my device or things are different on the software level too?

Technically it should work because the drivers for the 3 different modules are already installed within the ROM.
What is the product number of you and your friend's device? It should be on the box (2016101 or 2016102). And would you be able to take a picture of your friend's Sony module? A lot of people on a different thread are trying to replace their Samusng/Omnivision modules with about 50% success because we don't know the exact numbers of module code of the IMX258
Thanks in advance!

Hi All
I am planning to buy a RN4 from Flipkart.

I've read that the modded Google cam is the best camera for custom roms possibly even better than stock MIUI as there are settings that you can tweak to get the best possible photo quality however there is a huge catch, it doesn't work with Omnivision camera. Well technically, it still works but you don't have HDR which is pointless as the app was modded for HDR to work.
There is a huge chance that you'll get Omnivision if you buy brand new as newer note 4x batches no longer comes with Sony or Samsung camera. Hopefully the October 6 camera commit by highwaystar on Lineage fixes this.
Yes, you can flash MIUI camera ported from MI A1 but HDR and few other features does not work and yes there is camera quality degradation which is very common on non-nexus/pixel devices as there are proprietary libs/drivers that's closed source.
---------------------------------------------------
People who bought RN4 recently from Flipkart, please help me make an informed decision by mentioning what camera sensro you got?
Sony / Samsung or omnivision?

I got one from Croma yesterday. Device is good in terms of usability and battery life. Cameras are stellar !!
Only cons I would mention is that the Display isn't as sharp for a flagship device (especially with text on white background) .
Would recommend this only for the camera. If media consumption is more important, I would recommend the Mate 20 Pro over the P30 Pro.
Cheers :good:

I bought the device from Amazon. Earlier i had pixel 3 and s10. I sold S10. Cameras on S10 were not good. However p30 pro cameras are superb. I am liking the battery life especially. Phone looks beautiful.
Auto Call recording is available.
Camera has a dedicated hdr option but its good to let master AI handle things.
Only thing i am not liking is, that huawei has not released latest software yet in India. Latest one is .124....we are still on .118. Huawei is treating Indian customers as secondary.

Thats not good. I have not availed the watch offer. So i cannot say. But you definitely need to call the Customer Care and ask them to refund the money.
Have you got any updates after the purchase? Can you tell me the build number you are on?

Is Huawei really serious about its flagship device in India? Its really disappointing. Wonder what their marketing team is doing. Instead of useless ads, they should focus more on Customer experience. Its a premium device not a 10k average phone.

Please indulge me. Prove that Xperia 1 III can deliver much better photos than Xperia 1 II with main wide camera sensor at least. Thanks!

i think the latter. it’s not yet been released in the US. i think only in China.
I've read they've released an update already, so all those early photo reviews are "outdated".
Anyway, this is the most recent and "best" photos taken with it I could find...

Just got the phone yesterday here is one pic I took in auto mode no adjustments of a beautiful Nissan 280z
I've got one, the photos taken so far are better than that on the Xperia 1 II. There is no normal camera app though, only the Camera Pro is stock this time around.
