Here is my quick and dirty comparison between the Note 5 and Pixel 2 XL when using the gcam mod on Note 5. Most photos are in low light.

Hi,
Thank you for the comparison, great pictures. Can you tell us your rom (miui or other, which one) and gcam version please?
Whyred is pretty sweet when coupled with gCam

Xiaomi EU 8.6.28 (MIUI 10). I have played around with different version of the ported gcam app by BSG but the results are more or less the same. Try some of these:

I cannot launch any gcam port on MIUI 8.7.5 What I'm doing wrong?

From the pictures, as expected Pixel 2 XL wins easily.

From my point of view, Pixel 2 XL wins by a large margin on photo 1, 2 and 10, the difference is less prominent on the other photos.
Note 5 All Day..
I Personally Prefer The Note 5 Pics...
Cooler & Brighter Pics... Sweet.
Thanks OP.. :good:
Hey, do you know if any of these GCam ports use both of the rear cameras on the Note 5? Thanks
Since the Google Camera is perfectly optimized for, well, their Pixel devices, it is expected for it to be better
I am sure that with an advanced GCam app which has noise reduction settings it can be tweaked to be closer to Pixel line (though can't match it really), and actually there are some versions, however I don't know how to use those settings (yet), but I might give it a go sometimes
There's no clear winner actually since the shutter and ISO speeds are never the same for any pair of pictures. Whichever one has lower ISO wins for that pair. The Pixel 2 XL has more noise and loses when it's ISO is higher.
In the first pair of pictures, the Pixel 2 XL has clearer and more details on the bottles because this phone was much closer to the subjects and therefore much higher magnification and much clearer rendering of the small details. But its noise is a bit coarser.
Note 5 pictures is ugly besides pixel xl2

Hello, is this redmi note 5 pro? If so, is it whyred or other version? since they have different cameras. Sorry i cant keep up with names xD, is "redmi note 5" Chinese version and "redmi note 5 pro" Indian version of redmi note 5?
Both phones do it great.
RN5Pro adds grain just a little bit on low-light photos, and colors are a bit less saturated in day-light.
Awesome comparison. Thanks
note 5 Do you have the best gcam for al? smoothly.
is there any gcam for redmi note 6 pro?
Hi, I've tried many different versions of GCam but this is the only one with a low level of noise (expecially in low light zones):
https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/f/changelog288/
It works perfectly, except for slow motion. Please set Nexus 6p as input model for front camera to avoid colour problems
With Experience Pixel rom, it works pretty well, the slow motion works.
I disabled HDR + and remove motion.
Night Sight works, slow motion works.
Must put in input model "Front camera Nexus 6P" because if no there are color problems.

Would you say either of these are better than the stock cam app?

I'm using it and it surely is far superior in my opinion in terms of the image quality. Regarding using the app itself is not such a pleasant experience i.e. the app is subject to FCs and sometimes the photos don't get saved on MIUI 10. However, there are quite a few apks out there and you can choose which works for you the best
Does gcam work on miui?
Specially night shots.
Is there any cam app that can take those night mode shots? Like the photos in honor 6x for example?
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?

Try Portrait mode on gcam. It takes 48MP photos by default.

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.

Thanks, it seems to work great!
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.

Never used Gcam before, which file do I have to download?
Do you think gcam make any difference?? I tried several version found to be useless as compared orignal app
Yes, even I'm yet to find a Gcam which would make noticeable difference over stock cam.
Stock cam is pretty good actually, with only two drawbacks.
1. High level of noise
2. Oversaturation
Vivo's camera app is pretty good. Their computational photography algorithms are not as good as Google's but still one of the best. I agree with @power_8383 about the oversaturation thing, but think it can be resolved by disabling the AI mode. Noise levels are ok in my opinion. Anyhow, the IQOO 7 doesn't have a very big sensor and that's the way it is. All in all, camera performance on this phone is very good (stock app). A Gcam wouldn't be a magical solution on turning it into the best one in the market. IMHO it's a waste of energy.
What annoys me in the IQOO 7's camera is the low quality of the lens. The photos are quite blurry in the peripheral area. But GCam wouldn't help with that.

I was using Poco F1 before switching to Iqoo 7.
There was a night and day difference between Stocks cam and Gcam in Poco F1.
Stock camera was pretty useless to me.
And regarding the saturation in Iqoo 7, I have already disabled it, but the photos are still oversaturated.
No other complaints.
Hello all!
I would love for you all to give your opinion on the OnePlus 9 camera in comparison to something like my Pixel 4 XL. My OnePlus 9 which I purchased on eBay arrives tomorrow and I am slightly worried that although the battery and performance will be a huge upgrade over my 4XL I'm concerned after reading mixed reviews about the image quality.
Coming from those who have tried pixel devices do you feel that the OnePlus 9 is in any way comparable to the pixels image quality? If you came from a pixel are you satisfied with the OnePlus 9 camera performance? Is it at least acceptable for someone like me who has children in a lot of sports in likes taking action shots?
I appreciate all of yours input and thank you for your time
My Pixel 3 XL took way better pictures across the board. The lack of OIS on the 9 is unforgivable. I use the GCam mod that was posted around here and that's at least passable but the only thing I like about the OnePlus cam over the Pixel is that it doesn't blow out reds. As someone with rosacea, it's nice that a minor flare up doesn't make me look like a tomato.

can you give me the link for the gcam u r using? thanks a lot i cant find good gcam for op9
I just switched from the OP9 to a pixel 5, which i believe has the same camera sensor as the 4, and I think the photos on the OP9 were much nicer. Sure google has good processing but the image is so grainy on the pixel 5.
On the plus side my pixel 5 isnt crashing / randomly rebooting five times a day so i'm happy.
