Hi guys I made camera comparison on Xiaomi Mi A1 vs Moto G5S Plus with ample of shots to test the camera on those two after recent camera update as well as Android Oreo 8.0 update. You can find an in-depth review of Xiaomi Mi A1 & Moto G5S Plus Camera.
Finally, I got a chance to test out Xiaomi Mi A1 and Motorola G5S Plus. Both the smartphones have nearby feature, i.e. Dual camera. So, I will do camera review by capturing pictures and video in both Daylight and low light conditions, with the different set of an option they got.
Those ads thou (10) lol
Im bias Mi A1 is the WINNER!
I've used both the phones..mi a1 does far better in taking portrait shots than moto. Moreover motog5s plus had a manufacturing defect of dust inside camera( rgb sensor as much as i remember ). However mi a1 really starves at lowlight which can be rectified a bit by google cam(rooted). But overall mi a1 wins as per my experience. What do others think?
Video recording and audio quality much better on g5s plus.

4k video recording was stunning quality :angel:
I wanna buy new phone with total new experience
After my p20 pro
Which one should i buy?
Maybe the Mi Mix 3 but not the 2S.
Now i would take the NEX because the 3 is not out.
What a silly question.
You can't decide between a super-spec flagship vs. an underwhelming sequel with the camera in the wrong place?

Which one is the super? ?
None 8a better than the P20pro. Here's why.
The performance in flagships have plateaued because most of them can handle anything without breaking a sweat. The Kirin 970 is still good.
Now the p20 pro has a camera that is still unbeatable... Esp those handheld 4/5 sec long exposure shots.
If you still want to buy a phone, still, don't get any of these cause the UI remotely follows a similar role model. Get the Pixel 2 XL.
Of these two (Nex or 2S), the Nex is better, IMHO.
Vivo nex is a far better option than mi mix 2s.
I'm currently using nex, though i have not used mix 2s.
I have used mix 2 as it was launched in my country India.
Mix 2 was a strictly good phone. Nothing Excellent about it.
But the vivo nex is much superior. The display quality is enough to beat mi mix 2s.
Better camera , latest tech and battery are other few advantages.

Thanks my friend ?
My previous phone was a Mi Mix 2, cant compare these 2, the Nex is a beast!
I have been using the Mix 2s for about a month now and i am observing this forum to see if its worth "upgrading" to the Nex in the next few months. I always have a fear of early batch production issues and it seems like there is a thread that already exists dedicated to poor display panels. Suffered with the Sony xperias and even galaxies. Lesson learnt, wait until the later batches have been manufactured.
As to Mix 2s over Nex, i can already see several advantages that puts the Nex as the top pick! Aside from the new tech that is yet to be implemented in the Mix series, and im saying this with the lack of visibility over the dev community on funtouch os, i would think that Vivo would only be inferior in the software department. Xiaomi so far has a huge community dedicated to MIUI and they're after all, focusing on this aspect as part of their selling point. Nonetheless, MIUI is still buggy as heck so i would be wary of FuntouchOS unless someone can vouch for that software which clearly looks like an iOS copycat (imho)
My opinion on the 2s:
Pro
1. Looks pretty; first time using a ceramic phone, becareful it shatters unforgivably
2. Small form factor despite a 6 inch screen, well because of that display
3. Fast, 845 SD same as the NEX. This one should not show any difference with the NEX
Cons
1. lacks in a good camera (despite the high DXOmark score, the rear camera is buggy and is inconsistent, dont get me started on that poor Front camera)
2. battery, soso (probably due to average size batter and LCD panel)
3. lacks a punchy speaker (false stereo, dont expect an immersive experience)
4. Proximity sensor is inconsistent (using a new tech leveraging infra tech, which is also not consistent when you're on the phone)
5. Buggy software (this one is frustrating, apps occasionally crash and i cant use spotify now for some odd reason, yet to reformat but ill do that when miui10 comes out)
Could anyone who has their phone check if you can select 1080p 240fps in the camera app under slow motion? Mine only lets me use 720p for 240fps recording, although both 720p and 1080p are available for 120fps.
I have the CC9 Pro (Chinese version of the Mi Note 10), although I checked the official spec sheet for both the CC9 Pro on the Chinese Xiaomi site as well as the Mi Note 10 on the global Xiaomi site, and both state that 1080p 240fps recording should be possible.
Thanks!
no there's no 1080p 240fps in my cc9pro China rom
With custom mods shoold be possible to add 240fps at 1080 and also 4k 60fps
Also don't get 1080 240p on my Mi Note 10 Pro
Thanks guys, I've since flashed a global ROM onto my CC9 Pro and it's still the same. Seems like it's neither a region or hardware limitation since Kasallamacher's Mi Note 10 Pro has the same issue. It's interesting that all the official information shows that the phone supports 1080p 240fps recording though, hopefully more people notice soon and Xiaomi will do something about it, as I did buy this phone for its camera capabilities after all.
We need someone to unlock 1080 240fps and 4k 60 fps with a custom rom/mod asap!
What do we have to do?
I really need 240 fps?
I bought this phone for its camera features
Nope no 240 FPS
is there any rom or any magisk module that would unlock 240fps 1080p AS ADVERTISED EVERYWHERE...?
so weird that no one has this.
Well, Xiaomi official info:
"1080P slow motion recording 120fps / 240fps"
exactly...

i just got my phone. had to look at the settings. 240 and 960 are 720P only which is weird. the camera should be able to handle it. on the note 10/note 10 pro page it does say 1080p slow motion 240fps. So thats weird (no asterisk either about the pro only being able to do it).
My price range is from 20k -23/24k. Although I wanted to go for One Plus Nord but seeing that it's most basic version is just 6/64 and also how its body is quite weak and have bad cameras from reviews, I decided to not go for it.
For Realme Phones, I don't think any ROM development goes on for them, so I probably will not buy them.
So main question - Is Poco X2 worth buy as a Poco F1 user since last 2 years? and what about Poco F2? Is it even gonna launch anytime soon?
Or is there any good phone in that range?
Thanks a lot.
why don't you go for k20 pro?

because its already one year old
The K30 Pro/Poco F2 development is almost non-existence. Beside depend on your need too, because X2/K30 is the only phone in the K30 series to have an SD card slot.

Firstof all I'm am usingpoco x2 as my daily drive from the last 4 month,and i have never felt any issues in my unit as you mentioned here.All the users admitted about the camera performance of Poco x2 with it's superior Sony imx 686 sensor,and it includes a decent ultra and macro cameras.Its the best camera phone under 20k.120hz display is butter smooth and the hdr 10+ panel really did a great job.Battery backup was not good but after 11.0.11 update it seems to be great and no any draining issues.
So please stop degrading a device without any evidence or reason
A lot of people complaining the battery sucks because of 120hz triggered me lol. Just switch to 60hz if you want better battery life.
I saw this video focusing on various Poco X4 Pro problems including problems with display, camera, fingerprint scanner, microphone and lagging problem on the phone.
<Moderator Edit>: Self-promoting video link deleted.
Can someone explain the Poco X4 Pro Display problem in the video where we can see backlight bleeding on black images under low brightness in dark rooms, Poco X4 Pro camera problem and microphone problem where the camera lags when choosing between various camera modes and how the microphone problem is present whereby the quality of audio recorded by video camera is very poor.
The only problem that I've experienced so far is the Poco x4 pro lagging problem and Poco x4 pro heating problem is also present when playing games like Call Of Duty or PUBG.
I want to check my phone for these problems and get a refund before it is too late if I'm having these.
So my question is where the problems mentioned in the video can be solved by software updates or not ?
Also are these problems present on all Poco X4 Pro phones ?
Sounds like you're having to thoroughly test a phone in strange conditions to look for a problem that doesn't effect you... Can't say I've got any issues with my phone. Fast enough and fluid - use my phone alot at night time and haven't noticed screen bleeding on a pure black image etc but I've not gone out of the way to look either. No lags swapping between camera modes, not a phone gamer so don't care about overheating either.

Display Issues - Yes indeed black is not true black under the circumstances mentioned in the video however this is because of just Miui stuff that enhances colors and tries to make stuff look better haven't found it on the (unofficial) Pixel Experience Plus rom
Camera Lag - yes have noticed camera lags and stutters and overall being not so smooth of an experience but i recommend you to use a Gcam as it has none of those problems and even lets you record videos at 1080p 60fps unlike Miui camera
Quality of audio recorded - Okay seriously? That was just dumb his phone might be 2 years old but the price is still more than twice than that of Poco X4 Pro so obviously it would be ahead
Gaming - Unfortunately this is not a gaming device they call it the "All around ace" but i don't see where is the all around ace in the phone?
The branding of this phone is so bad...
People will think since Poco X3 Pro was a beast of a gaming device the X4 Pro would be even better but no not in the slightest
Refund - if you want to you can... there really are better devices for this price segment
remember a good processor can make a lot of stuff good like camera quality, audio processing etc
Can these issues be fixed with a software update
Cough Poco X2, X3, F2 cameras just dying after a software update with no fix even after so long
Cough Cough Poco X3 Pro hard bricking due to system updates and no fix even after so long
Don't you worry mate Miui will come to your rescue to fix every problem you have!
Is it worth getting the Poco X4 Pro?

Depends really
If you're living in the Asian countries there's several manufacturers providing you a better buck for your money e.g Iqoo
but if you wanna definitely buy a Xiaomi product then going for the Mi 11X which costs just a tiny bit more than the X4 Pro
Even the 6gb ram variant is far better due to the snapdragon 870 being a beast
In my opinion go for any device that has a snapdragon 8 series processor or the 778G
A processor matters a lot in a device
A good processor can accomplish several tasks with ease
E.g camera quality will be better and you'll most likely have 4k recording
Audio processing better
Rendering is better
Everything will look better since a better GPU
Overall better performance
But if you've already bought the device and thinking if it was worth your buck
imo not really... It lacks several features devices have in this price range even though people coping that this is a great deal
Never trust in the 5g gimmicks people will keep on telling u that the snap 480 5g or the 695 5g processors are amazing but that is a heck of a lie those are old processors overclocked but still way behind the league

Thank you for this detailed information, I was still planning to get this phone but as you said iQoo new phones are good too for this price range and Mi 11X is expensive for my budget Also for me display to matters because I hate the LCD in budget phones, AMOLED is good for eyes! I'm going to see the best budget phone with good specs and with snapdragon 8 processors as you said.

No problem mate!
I recommend you to stay away from Poco in general though
Their specifications might look very appealing but almost every single phone of theirs has had a major flaw without any explanation provided by Poco
E.g X2, X3, F2 cameras just dying after a system update no fix even after almost 2-3 years
Poco X3 Pro which I'd say is the most appealing phone ever made...
Hard bricking after system update due to low end PMIC's
No fix after almost 2 years
side note: i was a Poco X3 Pro user until about 4-5 months ago when my Poco X3 Pro died after getting Miui 13 update
Luckily still 2 months of warranty was still left but it took almost 2 months to get a replacement and i got the X4 Pro
They were gonna give me the Redmi Note 9 which was absolutely disgusting compared to the X3 Pro so after a few fights here and there and paying about 50$ i got the X4 Pro...

The dark mode problem is in hardware or software? Because, in recovery mode, fastboot mode and on first boot poco logo, the display shows pure original black... But when it starts up on miui logo, display's upper side bocomes lcd black not amoled black.. so, what the problem basically is? On software or hardware?
