Question about shark 3 pro speakers and camera - Xiaomi Black Shark 3 Pro Questions & Answers

I have oneplus 8 pro
But i got bored with its boring software
I wanna try shark 3 pro
What about camera quality is it bad or good ?
Speakers sound is it good or average?

I find the pics it takes to be really nice so far. Can't say I have a complaint about it yet. I take tons of pics of my daughter playing and running around and the pics have been of quality, which was a worry for me as I had the mate 20 x and that thing takes some phenomenal pics. I'll post a pic of our dogs at night and you could make a decision from there
As far as the speakers. They are decent, but can be low. I found that to be the case when watching some UFC fights on ESPN+ and watching YouTube. Before I had it root, I replied on a Bluetooth speaker. Once I got root and viper4android installed, it's loud and clear. Don't know why they got the speakers so low on stock.

Thank you my friend
So do you recommend it for me ?
Is it better than mate 20x ?

Picture quality is quite good. As for speaker I found it moderate..
Sent from my [device_name] using XDA-Developers Legacy app

Speakers are pretty good coming from P30 Pro and mate 20x 5g.
I haven't used the camera yet lol.
I got this phone strictly for gaming and I kept my mate 20x 5g for daily use.

Got my Titan !

So,after a week of waiting it finally arrived !
And now,I can barely look at my iPhone 4,it's so small
Haven't played with it much but my first impressions are
1)Fantastic build quality.The unibody construction is just awesome and it feels great in hand
2)The screen is fabulous.The colors look great and vivid.The viewing angles are very good and trust me,you won't be bothered at all with the WVGA screen.(I've had an iPhone4 for a year).
Only in sites with small texts(completely zoomed out),you'll see pixels but when I put it side by side with my iPhone,I couldn't read it on the iPhone either since it was too small. But on other sites,the text is completely readable.
IE9 is very fast and IMO,the pinch to zoom is faster than 4.
3)The camera is great and is hugely better than iPhone 4.However,after the battery got too low,it didn't let me capture pics with flash which is kinda odd.
I tested the flash in the "flashlight" app and the video camcorder and it worked fine but didn't work while taking pictures.
4)The power button is fine(At least for me).I don't have any problems reaching/pressing it;furthermore,I can work pretty easy with one hand which is great especially for such a huge display.
The on screen keyboard also rocks,I made a lot of mistakes w/iPhone but I barely make any mistake with Titan
5)Call quality is excellent. way better than my iPhone ! I had heard some static noise with my iPhone but I haven't experienced any issues with thr Titan.
Overall,it's an awesome phone.One of the best HTC has ever made !
If anyone's interested,I can do a video review/comparison with iPhone 4
The camera flash issue was because of the battery life. When the battery is too low,the flash doesn't work for taking pics
Glad to see your liking it- i got mine a few weeks ago and i agree it really is the best phone available - especially the speaker during calls is incredebly loud and clear
just make sure you turn off the sound enhancer settings - as it may cause freezing in video's and games
I did a comparison with a Lumia 800 a little while ago in store (i was considering switching from the titan to that) and while the hardware was equally as solid feeling - the loud speaker is emberassing on that phone - and the worst audio quality ive ever heared on a phone - i tried playing the same ring tone on max volume with both phones - and the titan destroyed it. both in terms of loudness and quality
Titan really is the best WP7
Titan also has better battery life/camera,slightly faster CPU and a better build quality than Lumia;furthermore,when you go 4.7",you can't even look back.
Oh and thanks for the tip.The first thing I did with my Titan was actually disabling the sound enhancer app

poor video recorded sound quality

Just wondering what you guys think of it? I go to a lot of concerts and music festivals and the video quality on the note is superb. However, the sound from the video is horrible. The one thing that me and my friends all agree upon is the video sound recording on the iphone is better than any phone out there. The note simply cannot handle loud sounds, particularly really loud bass. The sound on the whole video is just off and it sounds like the microphone is in direct wind. Dont get me wrong, I love the note and I am an android fanboy, however I think this is an area which the iphone dominates. What do you guys think about the sound recording quality? Is there anyway to fix this through software? hardware?
never found a problem with audio from video recordings. few weeks ago i was filming a drift event at a local track and sound came out fine with all the loud noises going on.
Speaking of, do you guys have any YouTube links of vids with your note?
I just can't seem to live with out a removable storage, and I have been leaning in the notes direction.
I am just worried about video, and pic quality with the note...I had a 4g galaxy s and the pics were awful.
Sorry if I am hijacking.
What's your honest.opinions about vid quality?

the playback of audio recorded with a video is going to bad if you are recording anything with a lot of bass or any high dB sounds that are above the microphones ability to capture. These phones use a microphone thats really just a small speaker, when loud sounds are being emitted and your trying to capture them they can ofter "bottom out" the microphone so that all you hear is loud static distortion or if the bass is really heavy, nothing at all.

I think the video quality is awesome on this phone. I haven't watched them on any external devices though, my opinion is purely off of viewing the videos off the phone.
As far as the drift meet you went to, I'm pretty sure the note can handle the sounds of screeching tires, I am mainly talking about BASS. I understand that almost all devices have a certain limit until the microphone can no longer handle the strong bass. The sound gets distorted, and you can't hear anything else. All I am saying is that somehow the iphone is able to handle strong bass at a concert even when you are standing pretty close to the stage. Anyone else experience the distorted sound on their note?
I have personally experienced this and it must be due to the different build qualities of the microphone. Is it possible to attach an external microphone via the headphone jack and use that to record video sound rather than using the one built into the phone? that would make a huge difference IMO

http://youtu.be/N06GsbGyh28 shot this 2 weeks ago, first time messing with video on the phone, i was impressed by the clarity of both picture and sound, just need a dern zoom feature while filming
also not sure why your expecting amazing quality sound from recording a live performance, no matter what phone if ur close to the speakers your not going to get non distorted sound, ive owned every iphone and never heard clear quality sound after going back and watching vids i took at partys and such, i do belive i saw something on engadget the other day about a better quality mic u can plug into the headphones jack
http://www.engadget.com/2012/05/31/irig-mic-cast-hands-on/ well its for idevices but im sure there has to be something similar for android
I was just thinking about this before bed last night. I was looking at some recently shot kareoke videos from my note. The audio quality is absolutely horrendous. Like...disappointing bad.
My atrix was was leaps and bounds better. Was able to handle (and reproduce) bass just fine. Never distorted the audio like the note does. From concerts (rock mind you) to kareoke, anything...I guess its an unfortunate con ill have to live with.

I know exactly what you mean, in terms of capturing sound at, say...a concert. It is overpowered. I've heard that one way to tackle this problem is to put tape, or a finger, over the mic hole when recording.
Here's a vid I took when I saw The Black Keys a cpl months ago. I even wrote in the description that it's a shame the sound is crappy...

I am not expecting amazing sound quality, just good enough so that it doesnt sound like crap. Obviously microphones on phones have their limits, but as I have stated, and as others in this thread have stated, the note is pretty bad at recording sound. My girlfriend has an iphone and all of my friends have iphones, and trust me, the sound recording is much better on it. Still love my Note though, best phone ever!
I seen rammstein and just like the others said.. Very loud sounds makes the audio sound very muffled and hard to hear.. I wonder if I had the the recording volume set halfway. If it would of sounded better?

I can tell you this, its way better than HTCs Video playback. Their sound quality is low.

I found a solution by connecting the ear set of the phone and using it`s mic to rec sound. At levels as high as 110db that i tested (in a consert)
Sound quality was audible enough. So thats my pov on this subject. You should try it.

Sound quality through speakers and headphones

So, I got my One yesterday and I've been playing around with it quite a bit since then. I have to say that the speakers didn't really blow me away, but they are a lot better than most phones I have heard. I think it is quite silly of HTC to be bombarding the TV with commercials about the speakers when the camera is a better feature in my opinion. Anyways, I tried the included headphones and was pretty disappointed with them. They felt cheap as hell and I thought that the sound coming out of them was pretty crap. Thankfully, I recently purchased a pair of Klipsch Image x10s so I threw them on and I was very impressed with the sound coming out of the phone. It is super powerful. I am listening at 75-80% right now and it is almost painful. The Beats audio "enhancement" is pleasureable to me, but in reality is just adding some low end emphasis to the EQ settings. Still, it results in a fuller sound and I am porbably going to leave it on permamnently given how night and day the difference is through the BoomSound speakers without it. I know a lot of people have been saying that the audio quality wouldn't be as good as the S4 because that has the holy Wolfson DAC, but I have to say that I think the audio coming out of the One is clean, crisp, and has no appreciable noise as far as I can tell. What do you guys think?
Ya my wife usually makes fun of all my android phones when it comes to audio output volume / clarity compared to her iPhone. For the first time ever she was very impressed. That's as unbiased as it gets.

I agree. though I would argue the speakerphone is better than the camera, relative to my last phone at least, the note 2. speaker was pretty loud on that, but quality was bad. The one is louder and more clear for me, while I'm kinda meh about the picture quality.
attached files related.
first is with a 15w florescent bulb lighting my room at night and -2 sharpness, and the second is with my monitor being the only ambient light in night mode. Good? Yes. Better than my note 2 was? probably. Great? Eh.
though on a note: I was surprised in the second one: the photo is actually a little brighter than the scene was to my actual eyes. somewhatimpressed/10

S8+ to Mate 10 Pro

Hello guys, happy new year
I wanted to ask if somebody switched from an S8+ to M10pro?
In my country i have the possibility to change phones every 6 months, by giving the used one back, and taking a new one.
The best what i can get is a note 8, which i dont want(allmost same as my s8+ and the mate 10 pro.
I had the mate 9 year ago, it was a beast, it only lacked the developement, that was a bit sad, but it was a great phone.
The battery life just was brilliant with some tweaks, as i got at least root to it.
What do you guys say about the upgrade?
Any noticable improvements in day to day performance ober s8+?:fingers-crossed:
Same as mate 9
Iam coming from mate 9 to mate 10 pro
And I got the amoled screen and new aspect ratio plus a better camera in all aspects in my opinion
From s8 you will get a lot better battery and more RAM and smoother phone coz sammys always lag a little bit
Also you will get portrait and bokeh effects in cam plus a lot better night shoots I think than any phone right now not just the s8.

Yes the screen is better compared to mate 9.
Performance wise, i think thatvthey are the same - s8+ and mate 10pro.
How about the mate dual speakers? Are they better than on mate 9?
Did you felt the performance difference?
Stay with S8+. Buy Mate 10 only if you want better battery.

In my opinion yes. Except if you want better battery. Mate's 10 battery is a beast. Finally keep in mind that you would be disappointed by audio quality and volume delivered to the headphones. But that is only my opinion. The best would be to test the phone by yourself if you can.

I purchased an S8+ through Samsung using their credit line with the sole purpose of reselling it and buying a Mate 10, not the Pro, just the regular. Worked out great as a friend gave me his Note 5 to trade in which knocked off $300 from the S8+.
Samsungs are just too bloated for me.
I'm in a dilemma I've got s8+ and just got Huawei mate 10 pro today I just don't know which one to keep any suggestions people without harsh comments please I can't decide

Use them both and see which one you prefer. The opinions of others don't matter much when you have the opportunity to use the devices and compare them for yourself.

That's my problem I like things of both
Let me tell you my story (even though it may be a little bit late)
I owned the S8+ for more than 6 months but I finally sold it. Main reason was the awkward and not comfortable design and the battery. I have the Mate 10 Pro for 2-3 days and I really enjoy it.
Battery is near perfect, it feels faster than the S8+ and cameras are pretty much the same
However if you are an audiophile like me, you will be disappointed by the headphone performance through the USB-C adapter. It is very weak compared to the one on the S8
Also, the screen is not very bright but it is not a problem for me. I just wanted to let you know
If you have any other question, please let me know

Can't wait to get MI8 back

Man was this bumpy ride.
So i've sold my mi8 a few weeks ago and tried few other phones:
First, i bought Samsung Note 9 - 430eur
- great phone, but a rubbish front camera, bad back camera portrait mode, no gcam support.
Then mate 20 pro - 450eur
- great camera but slow fingerprint reader, emui is a mess.
Then s10 - 510eur
- managed to endure just few days with this phone. Exynos version, horrible battery life, barely gor 3h of SOT.
Then oneplus 7 pro - 600eur
- I loved this phone, but man was it big and heavy.
So now i ordered my good trusty mi8 back. Great in hand feel, great camera with gcam, good battery life, and fasters fingerprint possible.
Is it perfect phone, no: big notch, no ultrawide camera, no ip rating or wifi charging.
But for 200eur it gives better user experiance then anny other phone.

I know what you mean. I owned Mi6 which was (and still is) a wonderful phone but I wanted to try something else. Changed a bunch of them but not one was a worthy replacement until I bought Poco f1, which was excellent, but touch problems were driving me nuts so I sold it.
Recently I bought Mi9t, but fingeprint and popup camera were so annoying I sold it and got a Mi8 which is a heck of a device, slim, light, fast and better phone to use than majority of new devices with their trendy but "pain in the ass" features (in -display fps, popup camera etc...)
Overview:
Samsung: currently One Ui is the best oem skin in my opinion, but they are too expensive, and their midrange phones are destroyed by competition in every aspect except for the screen quality. Have bad fps scanners and Exynos versions have lack of support.
Xiaomi: Best bang for buck, excellent fps, excellent support etc...only problem is battery drain on some Miui versions...
Huawei: Great hardware with the worst software...Emui is just ugly and outdated and really needs some refreshment. Also they are like android version of iOs, everything is locked, support is rubbish and you really need some knowledge to amuse yourself with some custom roms and tweaks.
Oneplus: Best of all in all regards, not so cheap anymore but they dont need to be, and they shouldn't be. Cameras not top notch but excellent support, superb displays, software etc... No matter what the price, the best.
LG: Good phones, but too expensive. V50 is maybe the best phone out there, but people are just not interested in them anymore, so the support will suffer also. Probably will follow HTC down the drain.
Nokia/Motorola/Sony: Not worth mentioning. Average at best, lack too many things....Was a fan of Sony for years, but after owning a few of them I was dissapointed. Motorola had some superb phones but they started to make same things like Nokia, midrange phones that nobody wants to buy, and I can't blame them.
Oppo/Vivo/Asus: They make some interesting phones, especially Realme who is destined to be the next xiaomi...looks promising but availability is still limited.
The only thing about which I'm not so excited is Miui 11....they messed up the system animations and make navigating the system slower than on Miui 10. I hoped it would make more sense to simplify things....but they didn't. If they don't change something I think this is my last Xiaomi device...

I don't understand people like you, this is a forum. If you want short messages then chat with your mother on whatsapp. If you're not interested in what other people have to say, you can just leave or shut up
@CROrION, @mejgs
I completely agree! I have also owned many very expensive phones and the mi8 is by far my favorite. My son has a Samsung Note 9 and I will take my Mi8 anyday over his or his Wife's iPhone XS. No doubt, I love this phone and will stay with it for at least another year or two, and then I will buy another Xiaomi.
I have been a happy mi8 owner. Actually it's my first Xiaomi phone, and gosh, can't go back to others.
I have been tempted to upgrade to mi9 and 9T pro. However, after listening to comments from brothers/sisters here, i think i will keep my loyal mi8.

Yeah, not worth it, and it's coming from my personal experience. The only thing that's better on 9t Pro are looks (subjective)...Usability wise Mi8 is better. I even get the same battery life even though 9t has a larger battery...

i absolutely know how you feel, i had this experiece as well with MI8, P20 pro, Mate 20 pro and even the Mi9
Now i've a p30 pro and my girlfriend is using the Mi8. The photos of the mi8 with gcam are stunning and in some situations it knocks out the p30 pro easily (i terms with HDR)
the only reason i prefer the p30 pro is in battery life and for the reason it has a ultra wide angle lens.
Otherwise i would switch to mi8 back again.
Yes. Mi 8 is a great device. Especially with Miui 11 and Xiaomi.EU and GCam. Got it few weeks ago, but just as a spare and flashing phone. My daily driver is a s9+ Exynos with oreo and GCam and I absolutely love it. Made some GCam comparison between these phones. Almost identical but a big advantage is that the mi 8s SD offers instant zero shutter lag pictures. That's not possible with my s9+. And yes of course my s9 Gcam also doesn't offer a night mode. But that's ok. A Mi 8 with Stereo Speaker and QI would be so freaking awesome.

Yeah, I don't understand why Xiaomi cant build a phone with stereo speakers. I don't really care about wireless charging but the addition of Dolby and an extra speaker would be amazing. It's the only thing that I am missing from my old Le Pro 3, it had the most amazing speaker sound quality.

Most people who care about sound quality will use wired or bluetooth headphones.
How good can a small speaker sound on a small phone? Not to mention there is so much ambient noise? It's quite pointless.

That is your opinion, it seems that you haven't heard quality speakers on a phone. You would be surprised with how good it can sound. But of course it doesn't compare to larger speakers, with a default flat frequency range.
"It's quite pointless" What is the point of your post? Yes, I have high quality Bluetooth speakers. In fact several different types large and small. You don't see the value that is fine, stick with buying whatever you want. my point was that many phone manufacturers release phones with dual speakers. Xiaomi, doesn't seem to have any recently released phones with stereo speakers
I want stereo speakers because I play musical instruments and I don't always have the a bluetooth speaker with me, many decent quality phones also have pretty decent omnidirectional microphones, which are great for recording scratch tracks with an acoustic guitar. FYI scratch tracks are basically riff ideas, that you save and later build a complete song with those ideas. Another fun thing to do, is once you have recorded 8 bars, you can then loop it and then solo or play arpeggiated phrasing over top of the loop It's definitely a lot of fun. Stereo speakers enhance it and can further provide the ability to hear manually made effects, if merging multitracks.

So now i ordered my good trusty mi8 back. Great in hand feel, great camera with gcam, good battery life, and fasters fingerprint possible.
Is it perfect phone, no: big notch, no ultrawide camera, no ip rating or wifi charging.

Can You share where did U order it from, Matija?
I gave my 6/256 MI8 to my Dad. I am planning to get Mi 10....but I might just as well get another MI 8...not sure if MI 10 will be worth the price..compared to MI8...I do a lot of low light pics..and Aquarium pics...and MI 8 was awesome in that area.....
I order it in November 2019 by www.banggood.com in Spain.
I pay about 280€
