Front Camera Sensor? - Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Pro Questions & Answers

Can anyone check and confirm the front camera sensor used in their phone? You can check the sensor info from AIDA64 app or developer code of MIUI *#*#6484#*#* and then go to version info

Omnivision is a low quality sensor. That's why front cam pics are not that good. What about the LCD? Tianma right?

Still better than RN5Pro's front camera

Note 5 Pro Back: SONY IMX 486 (#16 in ranking)
Note 6 Pro Back: Same
Indian Note 7: Same

Front Camera: RN5Pro: SONY IMX376 (#32 in ranking)
RN7Pro front camera #18
The only thing holding them back is the processing done by the camera app. Try a Gcam to see the difference.

I do agree with you but the phone is quite same as compared to note 5 pro as i have compared and the quality is same almost. I don't even notice any difference. And I think that they should have improved the front camera with future update or so.

Lets hope they do.

Camera hack for P3113?

i've heard that changing a certain line in the media_profiles.xml file on the nex7 allows 720p recording thru the front cam. will this work with the P3113 (7-inch)? sorry, i cant try right now, i haven't actually bought the tab yet. having just vga isn't a dealbreaker, but 720p is definitely a nice hack.
heres the post for the nex7 hack:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1868962
thanks a lot,
thejrcrafter2
Not gonna happen. The P3113 from camera is 0.3MP
The largest image size supported by VGA camera is 640 x 480
640 x 480 = 307200
Divide it by 1000000 (or 1048576 for purists) and round off appropriately to get the value in MegaPixels
307200 / 1000000 = 0.3072 or 0.3 (rounded)
Not capable of 720P images.
The rear camera is capable
okay. i think i might just wait for the galaxy tab 3, since it might come out at the end of the month.

Yeah, I don;t care, if I am going to take a quality video I will use my camera not a tablet. Better lens, better sound, better everything

Yeah, that's true, only problem is you cant video chat w/ a point&shoot cam, and its not all that likely that I will be carrying an extra camera with me all day. Oh well.
So we can tweak the camera for better resolution.......

Yes. steps follow>
1. Get drill and drill out current camera, make a hole big enough for a larger camera with more pixels.
2. Epoxy new camera in place.
3. Remove motherboard and solder in new camera.

There's a video chat program that supports and actually transmits 720P on Android.?

Lol... good one...:thumbup::sly::thumbup::beer:
Or tape a lense to the tab... but I was thinking back while my optimus v was getting cm7.2 the resolution for camera was increased significantly, but that was the devs cranking through hours of codes.
But still.....:what:good idea

[Q] 3rd party camera app

Hello guys, I bought a brand new sony Xperia Z5 two week ago, but I am not happy with camera quality. Actually, it is ok but do we increase the quality with 3rd party camera app? Because device has really a good camera sensor but sony camera app is not good enough.

Open camera has some nice post processing but the UI is a tad weird
Camera FV5 is a paid app but it reduces some of the noise
I havent bothered with many other apps
Ive found that marshmallow just isnt impresive at all and im waiting for sony to fix the cameras weird grain
I use the stock camera myself but I also have Snap Camera installed.
I really like Snap Camera interface and functions.

Could this be the Official oneplus 6 specs ?

From this website:
The all-new Oneplus 6 comes with a dual 20MP+16MP Sony camera sensors that work together when you take a shot. The standard RGB sensor captures color details and information, whereas the dedicated monochrome sensor provides a higher contrast, captures more light,and reduces image noise. So now shots taken with Oneplus 5T is clearer, better, and more vivid.
Note how it talks about the OnePlus 5T

Except the fact that 5T doesn't have a monochrome sensor, it had a low light sensor IMX 376K which is BS and never proved to be good. The primary camera in 5T is Sony IMX 398 here it was mentioned as Sony IMX 518 So it maybe true since the R15 uses the same sensor. A monochrome or wide angle sensor is very much welcome than the telephoto sensor.

I will be honest and say I don't know too much about how different sensors come together (monochrome, telephoto, low light ect) to get the best photos.
I'm looking at a review of the R15 Pro and that also seems to have a 16mp main camera and 20mp secondary camera. On the R15 Pro the secondary camera is the same as the OnePlus 5T which might not bode well for the OP6. The review I'm reading (GSM arena) does however say that the camera, selfie camera (a 20mp one) are pros of the R15 Pro but does say the 20mp secondary camera is mostly PR and that 1080p videos are pretty aweful.
It looks like the OP6 will have a vertical configuration for the cameras where the R15 Pro uses a horizontal configuration. I believe based on the recently released camera samples, they are talking about the secondary camera being a telephoto one so the setup might be slightly different to the R15 Pro. Lastly, the camera app itself is different between Oppo and OnePlus so let's hope all of these potential differences add up to a better camera experience than the R15 Pro which itself isn't supposed to be a bad camera setup anyway.
I think ultimately, we aren't going to be getting 960fps slow mo videos or a camera setup that will come anywhere close to the Huawei P20 Pro but maybe it will be good enough to be in the pack getting to call themselves "good camera".

**Xiaomi Mi9 Camera**

Hi all!
Thanks for clicking on this thread!
my Question is simple and straightforward: if I buy the Mi9 will Gcam use all the 48Mp of the sensor or just 12mp? And if it will only use 12mp will this be because pixel-bining will still work\happen or just because Pixel phones(for which gcam was made) only have 12mp camera and that is the limit? So I will actually LOSE quality compared to Stock cam mi9? Mi8 only had 12mp sensor so I can't just look in that forum for answers. Sony Phones have more MP but they don't support gcam because of the api.
I have only tested Gcam on my MIX 2 and that phone is also only 12mp sensor.
I am pondering at the moment between getting mi9 or s10+.. but price of s10+ is a bit high and from the samples i saw already s10+ doesn't shoot better quality than my s9+ (with zeroprobe's camera mod) since it has the exact same sensors as s9+ only with the ultrawide one added. I have the feeling that mi9 with gcam has the potential to be better than s10 since my mix2 (which has a ****ty single camera) can rival the s9+ with the help of gcam.
Thank you in advance!

It can only read 12mp subsampling pixels (0.8micron). Not 12mp pixelbinning 1.6micron
It's so bad, when you zoom in 2x, it crop to 3mp effective resolution
I don't like this idea
S10+ has poor camera2api, you can't access wide and tele lens, no f2.4 option (f1.5 one is not so clear)

Best Camera for RNote 7

I've found a lot of topics but none discuss in fact wich is the best camera app for Redmi Note 7 (Global Version).
I love the camera lens, but the stock camera app not so much... Wich one you thing is the best camera app ever for Redmi Note 7 Pro?
Paid, Ported, Free,...
I'm also very interested in this.
I've never installed a different camera app to a phone before, but the default app doesn't seem very good, and if there's better to be had I want it.
I constantly hear praise for Gcam, but it sounds like there's many different ports of it and no real clear answer on which one works the best.
Bumping this question, and ignoring the fact that the OP is talking about lavender and not violet, but are there any good Camera apps for the RN7P yet?
I've got the China RN7P and i've flashed crDroid onto it, but now that i'm looking into it, i'm having trouble finding a good working cam.
All of the Gcam ports i've tried have failed to recognize the 48MP rear camera, and completely hides the "Gcam settings" option so I can't even re-balance the terrible saturation.
I've also tried crDroid's default camera and Open Camera from the play store, both of which also didn't let the rear camera go above 12MP, and the pictures they took didn't stand up to what even the 12MP Gcams took (minus ruined saturation).
So is there anyway to get Gcam with 48MP and functional settings working on a custom rom, or is there any third party camera app that can recognise the 48MP on a custom rom and get close to Gcam's quality?
and if no to both of those, any idea how long it might take for a working 48MP camera to be working on a custom rom'd RN7P?

Excuse the messy living room pictures, and the fact that they're rotated despite being upright on my pc
but there's no difference at all, even in the properties of the images.
Pretty much same image quality, exact same resolution, and the settings still only says 12MP without an option for 48MP.
The first image is from 'camera' and the second image is from 'portrait' (which for some reason always takes pictures in burst mode).
Also I don't really know what level of quality I should be getting from the RN7P's camera, but I get the feeling they shouldn't be this visibly blurred and noisy.

I own the Chinese Redmi Note 7 Pro (Violet)
Back when I was on MIUI 10, the MIUI camera app did recognize the 48MP camera, so it does have it.
Unless I somehow got sent the Indian version instead, in which case, i'd be pretty upset because it also has worse bands for my country too.

I tried both the xtreme and fu24 versions of gcam posted here in the Mi 9 forums, but both of them still only let me go up to 12MP in the settings.
The xtreme version took identical pictures in both 'camera' and 'portrait' mode just like the other gcams I've tried, and the fu24 version refused to even take a picture in 'portrait' mode.
Use Gcam 6.1 And Click Photo in Portrait Mode after Select Photo without Blur in Gallery.
Portrait Mode Support 48MP.

It's a bit hard to tell if pro mode is actually taking 48MP pics with the current bug that puts out small resolution images, but hopefully that should be fixed soon.

Hey can you try the Gcam 6.1.021 Note7pro
I can't post the download link because I'm a New member sorry. ?
You have to use portrait mode to get full 48MP photos.
Also to get the best possible results increase the saturation to 1.6 in settings and in Gcam settings enable HDR+ for portrait mode and disable Zoom in portrait mode to avoid the crop that Gcam has on it's photos.

I appreciate you trying to help, but I've tried 3 different ports of Gcam 6.1.021 and one port of Gcam 6.2.something
Even in portrait mode, the pictures it takes aren't 48MP, I've even posted examples in this thread.
No matter which port I used, what settings I changed or what mode I used, all the pictures came out the same.
12MP, and a resolution of 4000x3000

Just a thought here because I might be wrong but could gcam only be finding 12mp because of the pixel binning? Essentially, from what I've read and seen the sensor combines 4x 12mp to create the 48mp. I'm running the rn7 myself and see no difference between 12mp and 48mp in pro mode apart from being able to zoom slightly more on the higher mp shot.

Actually, the main camera sensor is a real Sony IMX586 48MP. The reason you don't see any difference between 12MP and 48MP is because both the photos are coming from a same sensor. It's just that the former one is pixel binned to decrease photo size and capture more light.
I believe True 48 MP mode can only be accessed using proper camera libs. Otherwise you can only get the 12 MP Mode

Take a pic in night with both the modes in RN7 PRO with Sony IMX586. You'll see the difference. Not sure about samsung sensor.
Please, what is the best settings for my GCAM for best photography
