Mi 8 vs Redmi note 7: what is the best solution for GCAM? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Good morning.
I'm going to buy one smartphone between Mi 8 and Redmi note 7. I'm looking for the best one with gcam.
I have two questions for you:
1) Which smartphone gives the best performances and the best quality of pictures with gcam?
2) Is it usually possible to use Mi8's OIS with gcam? Are there any gcam version letting use OIS with Mi 8 or is OIS always unabled from all gcam versions?

Can anyone help me?

Camera vs redmi note 2

Hello. I currently have redmi note 2 and I want to sell it to buy redmi note 3 SD. But I heard so many bad things about it's camera. I want to know if its quality is worse than redmi note 2. And if yes, how much.
Thanks.
Between Rn3 and Redmi 2 (not note), I feel Redmi 2 camera is better.

Honest opinion bro..
Dont buy, because redmi note 2 is also a good device. ( same camera result and day to day activities).
If you want to go for higher model (20000rs) ,then its good to sell.
But its not wise choice to change RN2 to RN3.
Better you wait more 6 months, and you will have many new options.
Take note that I love RN3, but i gave my opinion as you asked.
Thanks for answers. I'm just sick of mediatek! That's why I wanted to buy RN3 but I might wait...
Hey bro you are not right.redmi note 3 have 16 megapixel back camera while redmi note 2 have only 8 megapixel rear camera so the difference is that redmi note 3 camera quality is awesome than redmi note 2 and yaa also RN3 has finger print sensor ,it is slim,metal body and man believe man it's 4000mah battery life is amazing.
I made the same upgrade you want to do: redmi note 2 since September 2015... Redmi note 3 Snapdragon since March 2016.
My answer to you is a question: are you satisfied with Redmi Note 2 battery life?
If yes, then don't sell your phone. The upgrade is not in the camera department.
(imho both cameras are disappointing, same level... very low level... like a "good" 8 Megapixel can beat either Redmi Note 2 and RN3 SD)
If you want more battery life, then go buy the Redmi Note 3 Pro. The upgrade is incredible.
Same use (almost all 3G, 5% of the time in Wifi) with Note 2 It was very hard to reach 4 hours of SOT. With RN3 Pro I get 8 hours very easy, and sometimes even 9-10 hours of SOT.
So, no: for the camera performance it's not worth it. But for the rest, it is.
tq for those review, yep i think want to upgrade reno2 to reno3pro,
Reason want buy reno3pro 1st : battery life so tired, 2nd : feel mediatek version not getting marshmallow, looks like getting old android later, miui8 = 5.0.1 lolipop? huh..
3rd : fingerprint, 4th : Battery 4000Mah, 5th : looks like in cm got cm13 (marshmallow, With it not in reno2)
I wanted to upgrade because of
1. Battery
2. Metal body
3. Fingerprint scanner
4. Newer Android version and more custom roms
5. Mediatek cpu and powervr gpu had some compatibility issues.
If the camera is same level, so I'm OK with it. Thanks for replies.
here is a picture I took on the kenzo

Honestly I believe RN3pro camera is better. I have seen people complain about camera quality. If you really want good camera performance, use those camera apps that provides lots of manual settings. The default auto values in stock camera app are just meant for basic tasks. So for better picture quality, all you need to do is adjust the setting as per the surrounding. Set desired exposure levels, brightness, sharpness and so on...
Believe me, you will see a dramatic change in your photography.
In Well Lit conditions Camera Quality is great, Low light it struggles, RN3 uses Samsung s5k3p3 Image sensor which is good definitely better camera than Note 2,some pics took by me..

Pocophone F1 on Google Cam vs Redmi Note 5 AI on MIUI

Hey guys, title says all. And I know I asked this question on Pocophone F1 forums because I know alot of you guys came from Redmi Note 5.
I've been doing some research and seeing some comparison vids, but I haven't really found the information I was looking for, because most camera comparison vids are comparing the two phones both running on MIUI Cam only, or MIUI Cam vs Google Cam but they use THE SAME phone.
I know Redmi Note 5 AI works much better with MIUI Cam than GCam because I own the phone myself, the phone tends to crash on front facing camera and alot of features don't work.
So I was wondering what would have the better photo/video quality if Redmi Note 5 AI was using MIUI and Pocophone F1 was using Google Camera.
And one more question, if Google Camera on Pocophone is fully working or doesn't have bugs.
Thanks!

GCAM - Will Poco F1 / Mi8 / Mi Mix2s ever get Motion Photos?

Hi,
The last few days I've been searching a lot about Motion Photos in Gcam. Before, on my Mi A1, motion photos worked great, but with the Xiaomi Phones with Snapdragon 845 I can't seem to fix it. I've tried every possible setting and many different builds.
From what I've read the problem is that Gcam uses the YUV format for Motion Pictures and that Xiaomi doesn't provide the correct drivers for the Snapdragon 845 for it. This is also the problem with Mi 8 and Mix 2s. Does anyone know if this is true and if devs can work around this, or we just have to live with the fact that we never can use the feature Motion Photos?
Or is this something devs can fix in a custom kernel? CC: @Arnova8G2
Greetings, Remy

Should I buy mi 10 over poco f3?

I am looking for an all-rounder phone. But poco f3 camera isn't good enough. So i was thinking about buying mi 10 since it's price came down. Mi 10 has much better camera and i guess all the other aspects are comparable ( i don't care about wireless charging). I want to use my phone for at least 3 years. For this i need proper custom rom and gcam support. What do you guys think? Which phone should I go for?

The Mi 10 is over a year old so more stable custom roms, a more powerful battery and a better camera, more ram,
more features.
The Poco F3 is 3/4 months old so the Roms are still in development.
For what you want the Mi 10 is suitable,but not the same price.

How is the gcam performance on custom roms for mi 10? I have heard gcam doesn't perform well on 108mp camera.

Question Best Gcam

Best Gcam for Redmi note 11s.
Try lmc i dont sure does it work https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/dev-hasli/f/dl11/ If it working try for best quality and color this 3 libs. You can find updates to libs and may some configs there https://t.me/antykat_GCam_xml
Hello dear community, I got a Redmi Note 11S. I'm currently testing the GCam. I noticed that all mods on the front camera, which normally has 12 to 16 MP on the stock cam, with GCam only has a maximum of approx. 3 MP. with Camera2Test the resolution of the FrontCam is only 2320X1744 RAW_Sensor? Is that a bug or doesn't work anymore
