P30 barometer app

Does the P30 have a barometer sensor?
I couldn't get barometer apps to work with it.
I found contradictory info on the Webb regarding the presence of a barometer sensor.
Thanks!

There's no barometer sensor, I'm afraid.

X2 Pro Proximity sensor

Hello guys
I am thinking about switching my OnePlus 7 pro for an Oppo Find X2 Pro 2025 Global.
The OP7 Pro is an excellent phone but there are two details that annoy me, one is the AI Proximity sensor, and the other one is the camera quality.
Does the Find x2 Pro have a real Proximity sensor that works like it should?
And for the cameras I hope making a big improvement in quality.
There are known issues with the 2025 global version at this date?
Thank you very much!

Camera quality is among the best in the world according to dxomark.

Replace poco f2 camera with redmi k30 pro zoom camera

Hi
As the poco f2 and the redmi k30 pro zoom are basically the same phones
Can I replace the original camera with the ones from the k30 pro?
You can get the module with all cameras for 14€
I know it will void my warranty but I don't care
Technically I can open the device and replace the camera
But will it work? The main camera I am sure will work because it's the same sensor and you will gain OIS
But I am a little worried about the fact that the macro camera at the same time gets replaced with the zoom camera and I doubt the camera software can handle that?
Any ideas?

First you need to open the case like he does https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZZWMxwcFZOc
If your idea will work, dunno. Try it if you want.

Yes I know how to open the device and replace the camera
But I wonder if it's useless to try or the change is pretty good that it might work

OIS is not added by updates or other similar things. It is added to the structure as a movable lens that prevents vibration. You cant add OIS, because poco f2 pro does not have a movable lens

So if you buy a camera module with lens from K30 zoom that has OIS then Poco F2 Pro will have OIS.
Though I'm not sure if there has to be some sort of firmware 'flag' that activates OIS in camera apps. Only way to know is to try I guess.

The replacement camera module contains the ois parts of it as its the complete module but it includes all cameras Incl the zoom one
I am not worried about the main shooter this one will work because it is the same one just ois but I am worried about the zoom camera replacing the makro

i think it will work but you would need to rebrand your phone to k30 pro zoom for telephoto module properly work with stock system for that device

It will work, do it.

if so, does it need any software changes to recognize the new camera configuration?

For 14 bucks just do it

I don t think so. Usually that kind of information like OIS, EIS support and so on are written into the low level microfirmware of the device (camera in this case). Then is the OS and app that read those information and use it.

even if the type of camera is changed? because there would be a Telephoto instead of Macro

Go for it, if all the connections of the board and cameras are the same. It should work.

I think you'll maybe need to flash the k30 pro's firmware but I'm not sure about that

not workin like that..

Sorry if the question sounds sassy, ​​but why not buy the version you want, rather than bother with a hack that obviously won't work ?

Because the K30 Pro Zoom isn't sold outside China and has missing international 4G bands?

Life is full of compromises, sometimes we do with a 4g tape less because the device is really cool and cheap
Or you choose a device available in your country with the required functions, there are options that require you to put the price or buy a real high-end product sometimes
You can't have everything for 300 € with a Poco product, I love mine but you have to be realistic

What has any of this got to do with replacing the camera module for a better one??

Is buying POCO X3 an upgrade for a POCO F1 user?

I've been using Poco F1 for almost 2 years and now i want to change my device... So, is buying Poco X3 an upgrade or a downgrade w.r.t battery, camera, performance, touch, display

battery+
camera+
performence -
touch? bulid quality? same plastic feel
display +

Yes definately
Way better camera
More responsive and precise touch
Amazing screen

Yeah, came from Poco F1 and it is indeed an upgrade in almost every field.
Though, I would recommend that you wait until your Poco F1 get unusable or something, there hasn't been any huge changes in the industry, if you think you will get something that really offer a different experience, you won't.

What about UI? Is it lag free?I saw a review and the guy was facing lag while opening and closing apps... And is screen ghosting still an issue while scrolling or is it resolved?

The UI is lag free most of the time. What you need to remember is that the 120Hz is adaptative, so when you didn't touch your screen for a couple of seconds it goes to 60Hz, or to 30Hz when you watch a video. So if you happen to rotate your screen for exemple when it is at 30/60Hz, it feels pretty laggy.

I'd stick to the F1 untill stock ROM get's all issues solved, has some really annyoing stuff, or it gets fully functional custom ROMs

No. I switched from Poco F1 to Poco X3 and I haven't noticed huge difference except screen size and weight.
I think i will return X3 and wait another year with F1.

I would stick to F1, I only upgraded due to cracked screen and not being able to find a cheap replacement that cracks just as easily. The battery is a nice plus but I find F1 last over a day already so if you charge at night there isn't any point.

I bought the Poco F1 back in 2018 and recently sold it.
I'm using a Poco X3 NFC now and I really like the display quality, way better battery and better main rear camera.
I'm not regretting not buying the India non NFC 6000 MAh battery version because I really neded NFC in Europe, not only for payments but for other gaming related stuff.
I've disabled the adds and uninstalled the bloatware apps using some youtube tutorials.

Games using NFC? Could you pm some examples, don't wanna spam this thread

Hi there, I'm on Poco F1 since first days of 2019 and I really like the native call recording feature on Global stock ROM. Is this feature present on Poco X3 either? Thanks in advance.

I replaced cracked screen and battery in Pocophone F1 for ~30€ yesterday. Now I can get rid of Poco X3.

If the picture quality in the F1 is ok for you, I would keep it, as X3 is really great for its price, but doens't provide that much upgrade.
If you want more in everything go directly for Poco F2 Pro.

Poco X3 doesn't have native call recording.

Poco X3 Face unlock not working in the night

The Face unlock does not seem to work in the night. It works perfectly alright on the Poco F1 and really really fast! Its one of the best Face unlocks one can experience. You also see the Infrared light glow when it tries to Unlock. However, this is completely missing on the Poco X3.

Because it doesnt have IR Sensor on its front that has capability on seeing light even on the dark... While the Poco X3 NFC has the capability to have a face unlock, it still need a decent light to scan up faces and it uses A.I. Tech

Thanks for your reply.
You would be right, but isn't that like a downgrade. Its not that I will be using it very frequently, but i did notice right on the first night, so probably it is going to be missed out.
Given the situation, I dont think this can be fixed in the next updates as well.

POCO F1 is Series Flagship, and Poco X3 is midrange. so technically it is downgrade. and if you don't know how IR camera works, good luck for using it at night.

Yeah, its permanent, you cant tweak it because it is on its hardware... it doesnt have the capability... because if they would add ir sensor, it will cost them again at designing and manufacturing it so it would cost maybe $20-$40 more on the Poco X3's price and that would that personally me can't buy it because I'm really on a tighta budget

The 'spirit' or idea of the poco series was supposed to be budget flagship. The first Poco F1 had things missing to reduce cost. Like plastic back etc.
This year the SD865 an SD865 plus had 5G modums making it very difficult to repeat the exact success of the F1.
So this year they aimed for flagship 'experience' as well as low cost with a midrange device. Again some things left out to reduce cost.
They could of left out NFC for me an put front firing infrared camera for face unlock.
In New Zealand almost no one uses NFC. We use pay wave on chipped debit cards instead.
But the X3 hits the mark of providing a flagship experience mostly.
The F2 pro missed it in 2 major ways. Price an refresh rate. It got way too high in price in an effort to repeat the F1 experience.
So the X3 is a nice middle ground.
Can't wait till I try mine in November

You guys are missing a major point here, although there is no IR Camera, but thank God, there is also not a huge f**ing notch on it's forehead

Recently i switched form f1 to x3 pro.
I tried face unlock in dark environment and it didn't work.
Problem was from my screen protector that cover the infrared blaster.
After removing screen protector,
I can see the Infrared light glow when it tries to Unlock and it works fine.
