[8/11/2018] Good news! I can confirm that Camera libraries have been updated and also Night mode added from Global Beta 8.11.7 (960 fps slo-mo not added though)
Update- Confirmed again by Donovan Sung's post.
Recent update from Lei Jun says that the camera Algorithms and software upgrades in the Mix 3 will be ported to Mi8 and Mix 2S as well, since they all sport the same camera hardware.
Lets wait and hope it's coming soon!:angel:

That's nice

Great news

super !

Thats is "Xiaomi" the best for all user not like a other companys.... damn im very happy

Thats the minimum, that they improve camera quality.

Confirmed officially in here:
https://www.androidauthority.com/mi-8-mi-mix-2s-camera-update-919335/

It would be really interesting if they'll add the 4k 60fps video recording and the super slowmotion 960fps

Yes! Im waiting for that as well

Great News, but unfortunately i cannot trust xiaomi developers !!

Hope to get it soon.

Hope that the global version will get this update too!

Tbh, I just hope B-S-G can make a Night mode feature like the Pixel for the Google Camera apk xD, I don't care too much for this stock camera, although at least 4k60 fps would be a nice addition that they should put from the get-go though

Would be nice to see it in poco aswell since it uses same primary sensor too

Superb! Can't wait to see it coming to Xiaomi EU ROM!

[Q] Can Alpha Sensor Run Firmware from S5 at 16 Megapixels

1) According to Techspot the Alpha Sensor is the Galaxy S5 Sensor but the
Camera is at 12 Megapixels in firmware.
2) Same Size Sensor as S5 and look exactly like S5 pictures if S5 shot at 12 megapixel mode.
3) Curious if Camera Firmware from Samsung S5 could be flashed to Alpha so Camera would default to 16 megapixels instead of 12 ?
as I know camera sensor is same
coz I have this info from my phone ,but I dont know who can take this action for us

Thanks for confirming this.
Weird that Samsung intentionally at more expense clocked this Camera down to not equal or beat S5's Camera.
I would pay $ to have this Camera reclocked to proper 16 megapixel S5 specs if it could be done on Kitkat and no root.
Possible ?
Well if its possible then i woukd pay too.

Imho, even if the 16mp would be available I would still use 12mp, the photosize is already big enough as it is.

Its not about the size of the photo, if the phone can be unlocked or whatever to use the fullpotential ofnthe sensor than i would love to have that.

Yes the Details and light response would equal Galaxy S5 then.
If a Dev figures this out and it works I will pay
$ 50 via Paypal.

all the versions used the same camera.The front shooter is amazing...
Just did a photoshooting with this device... wonderful even the zoom works
Coming from a Redmi Note 3 this is a huge upgrade, also better then Honor 6,One Plus,Iphone 6 camera
zoomed to 5 x before taking the picture.
@Supertitan, that looks real good. The comparisons I've seen so far made me doubt a purchase though... Currently running a Nexus 6p so I'm afraid it will be a downgrade, pure on specs of the sensor that could be the case.
P.S. grey cars sure seem to be hot over there

I dont know what you mean ? okay Nexus has the first grade software support from google, but Snapdragon 810 vs. 820 no comparison here.
Also the Charger (measured) pumps out with 2,27 Amp. on Xiaomi device which is top level on Charging.

I only meant picture quality, not the specs of the chipset etcetera, obviously the Mi5 zooms past the N6P on that front. I will await more photo comparisons, Xiaomi markets heavily with the quality of the Mi5 camera so hopefully it does not disappoint.
This was taken with the Fish Eye mode, otherwise it wasnt possible to catch the Details.
Two More Pictures, this time in Airport:
https://goo.gl/photos/nbLpHJt1gdTxveTCA
Uploaded few more to the Google Photos... only issue is in the dark, otherwise best camera phone that i had.
Initial shots with my recently arrived Mi5
Mi5 and Huawei Mate 8 both have IMX298.
Mi5 has more same, but better camera app - more usability and better a picture shots.
Hope huawei fix it

How is the z2

I used to have a z1 but after lollipop update the camera lagged like hell (happens on all z1 after lollipop) then I upgraded to a m4 aqua but it's so slow.
I want to know guys how is the z2, the camera lags on lollipop and if there is any problem with this phone, don't post "get a z5" I don't have money lol

Lollipop on yhe z2 is great, not sure about which lag are you talking about tho. There is no lag in the camera interface although there is small shutter lag, les in SA, more in manual mode, but tollerable. Think its a little less than on KK. All in all the best camera and android experience I had till now, tried a lot of 2014 and 2015 phones, IMO Z2 is even better than the SG S6, maybe not camera quality but experience amd OS smoothness is better, Z2 is still a flagship worth considering at a right price.
Totally agree with your opinion @5ageman
Yup, still won't get a new phone myself after owning one almost since release, it's well worth getting for the low price available now.
Thank you guys, enjoying my new z2!

Congratulations! Please can you test camera on kk and lp because I bought a new one 10 days ago and it came with lp not kk.
Darknessmc, download Flashtool and flash rom what you want. But if you downgrade, please only with full wipe.

The only thing "missing" on Z2 is fingerprint scanner, but you don't need it if you use smartwatch to unlock or NFC to unlock. (I just implanted ntag216 glass tag in my hand, wich is very convenient for unlocking, but worked better on KK due to LP security restrictions, to be honest).
It has everything a top phone needs to have, including basic things like sd-card that some top-phones don't have
The only cons in my opinion are (and they are not exclusively z2-specific):
-No qi-charging (but magnetic "plug" possible!)
-Battery is fix (but new one costs less than 15 bucks on ebay if you can change it for your self)
-Fingerprint sensor missing
-No Dual sim (a lot of phones don't have one, though)
Qualcomm 801 is of course not as good as a 820, but honestly: there are not a lot phones yet with an 820, a lot have 810 or 808 or whatever...

Google Camera Vs Stock Camera on Mi 9T Pro / K20 Pro

Hello guys, I have Mi 9T Pro and I am running GCam since last 2 days (Got it from here: https://droidfeats.com/download-gcam-port-for-mi-9t-pro ). For me, it is better than the stock one. I have taken a couple of samples on Night Sight and Night mode.
Check it out! Which one is better for you? Please show your samples as well.

I was referring to your two pictures. I don't use GCam just yet.
Stock camera looks sharper. The trees at the bottom look blurry on GCam.
Stock camera has better dynamic range.

I'm using r6 for now and I don't need more.
It's not supporting all cams with r6.
For night pictures the gcam is a lot netter, otherwise not so much in my experience
Does anyone know how to get EIS working with GCam? Can't get it working. Or does that require root? I don't want to root my father-in-law's phone.
I've installed gcam 7.2.010 v1.5 from urnyx and diffrence is amazing

your photos are not showing. Also, on all of Urnyx's Gcam's, ultra wide and telefoto seem to always crash. And I really wish EIS worked with GCam ports.

Question Is dual frequency GPS supported?

There seems to be no reliable information online about whether the Galaxy S23 Ultra supports dual frequency GNSS on the GPS or Galileo networks, can someone check please?
Screenshot from my current OnePlus 8 Pro using the GPSTest app shows the dual frequency as L1/L5 & E1/E5

Looks fine here
Works fine on SM-S918B/DS with CSC EUX. Receive L1/L5, E1/E5/E5a, B1/B1c/B2a ...
Thank you for your replies!
Samsung.com spec sheet doesn't mention it, and after some Googling one website reports that it was removed. After Samsung.com showing QZSS being removed, I was worried that they took this away too haha
Nice! Has the software stack been implemented to get that 10cm accuracy?

I don't know! That's why I asked!
Let me expand on that a bit- It is known that dual-frequency gps devices can achieve 10cm accuracy. Reading through Sean Barbeau's blog from many years back, the capability was added to android 10 (or was it 11?) but no apps had been updated to take advantage of that capability yet. That was a LONG time ago- I bought a galaxy S10+ on release day in anticipation of that, that's how long ago it was- but haven't seen much about it since. Now that it's time to finally replace that S10+, I was checking in to see if there's any progress and to potentially validate which new hardware I should get...

S10 US (Snapdragon) did no have dual freq GPS enabled. And the Exynos versions that did have it still didn't have software support for sub-meter accuracy. My mission now is to see that if the software accuracy is now increased in any S23 Snapdragon variants.
Hi all,
maybe I missed the answer...
Does S23 Ultra european version have dual frequency gps?
Moreover, can it record phone calls (in Europe) using default Samsung dialer or app Phone by Google?
