ARCore support - Xiaomi Poco F2 Pro (Redmi K30 Pro) Questions & Ans

Please could anybody test if ARCore is supported for Poco F2 pro?
Just try to install ARCore from google play.
There is only Redmi K30 on compatibility list from google there:
https://developers.google.com/ar/discover/supported-devices
Thanks.

Play services for vr is installed on my device. Not sure what to do now and I can install Google vr service thing. I don't have a headset though anything else I can check for you?

Poco F2 Pro is compatible with all AR and VR services from Google.

Thanks both of U.

Can you confirm me that you can also use depth API with this phone ?
Thanks in advance!

Ah sorry, I must have missed that check when I said that last time. It seems depth API is not currently supported on the Poco F2 Pro.
We'll have to wait and see if they bring support for it.

Thanks for your answer !
So google list about depth compatibility is up to date ?
I've seen an article about depth for allmost phones with a single camera, so why is there so few models which can handle depth data ?
If I have to choose a recent phone with depth support ( and with API 29, Android 10) , do you know which one to choose ?
Thanks in advance !

Normally the google list about depth compatibility is always up to date from what I know of.
But I'm confident that depth API will come to Poco F2 Pro soon enough, as the Redmi K30 Pro (so the Chinese version) is listed as compatible. I think it's only a matter of official support from Google for the global version.
As you said, pretty much all Android (10) phones could be compatible with this, but it seems they do need some sort of official support from Google to turn that API on?
I didn't find any info about depth API on the Poco F2 Pro, I only tried a few apps to check, and Google's ARCore Depth Lab app is listed as incompatible on my phone when I open a link to the Play Store. So this led me to the conclusion that it's currently unsupported for now.
As I'm not a huge user of AR, nor a developer of such apps, I can't really recommend any phone that has this technology. You should make some research for yourself. You could also wait a few weeks and see if Google lists the Poco F2 Pro as compatible with the soon-to-be-released Android 11 coming early September.

Update on that last message, after checking Google's ARCore list I was wrong about depth support for the Chinese version. The Redmi K30 Pro is only listed as ARCore supported, but nothing said about Depth API support.
Gotta wait and see I suppose..

I'll continue my search !

As far as I know, almost all android 10 devices can be compatible with ARcore, but not all phones compatibles with ARcore are gonna be compatible with Depth API.
This is because Depth API is a very processor heavy API, and Google needs to review every phone's cpu performance, as well as it's motion sensors performance before giving them the necessary certification for enabling Depth API.
But Poco F2 pro is a very powerful device, so I'm sure it is gonna be updated soon to support depth api. I'm waiting for the same on my Mi10 5g.

I have it installed, yes

Depth API works on POCO F2 PRO without root using VirtualXposed, or if you got root and want to modify fingerprint of ArCore app, you can do this also.
Here's an Youtube video about this:
* don't forget to use https://repo.xposed.info/module/com.bigsing.changer because Spoof My Device isn't compatible to Android 10+
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UwY6VH0lcos
Here's a DEMO of it on POCO F2 PRO: https://youtu.be/-2unzupWL9s
OP: Please edit first post and add this, because this is the first thread that appears on Google about this.

do I need to have Gcam to be able to use it like you on this video? I have ARCore installed with my custom ROM that I use

So can I like bribe someone at google to finally flip the switch on the depth API? The method posted above stopped working since the update to Android 11, and it's ridiculous to have concrete proof it works just fine on the hardware, but have it disabled on google's side :I

It seems like proper depth support was added today! Took them a while but at least it's here, and all the depth enabled apps show up in the store and install as they should

Camera2 API support on the Samsung J3 (2017)

Hi!
I'm interested in more advanced video recording apps like "Filmic Pro" which need a certain level of Camera2 API support to function properly. Could someone with a J3 (2017) please run this free app "Camera2 probe" and tell me if the hardware level support category comes out as "Level 3", "Full", "Limited" or "Legacy", maybe post a screen grab?
Cheers!
Here you go!
I personally love the manual mode thing

Hey, thanks a lot, good to see that their super-budget phone has at least "Limited". While isn't enough for Filmic Pro, other manual camera apps work fine with "Limited". Cheers!

op6 camera2 api only level=full

hi now i have chattet with op support
regarding op6 camera2 api level
an according to them its hardware there decide what level of camera2 api
so i asked them saying that they made a new flagship wiht more pure hardware than op3 since it support camera2 api level3
after i said the last thing in chat they disconnected me from the chat
I think, they've already said it there in the chat. Camera2API level 3 is not there then it isn't there.
Different hardware, different set of codes needed to integrate certain features, maybe they omitted it because of some issues on their new set of configs (hardware/software). If that's a dealbreaker for you then sell it and look for a new phone with Level 3 support.

Wi-Fi Aware compatible devices

TL;DR: Could you check with AIDA64 if your phone support Wi-Fi Aware and report the result here?
Hello everyone, I am trying to create a list of the Android devices compatible with Wi-Fi Aware.To this date, the Pixel 3/3XL and the Galaxy Note 10/10+ are the only certified smartphones for Wi-Fi Aware. Oddly enough, none of them actually advertise that they support it on their storage page.I discovered that some other devices, like the Pixel 2 or Xiaomi Mi 8 and Pocophone are compatible with this technology but do not advertise their compatibility as well.
In a nutshell, I have no way to know which phones are compatible without getting my hand on them.
For this, I would like to request you to check if your phone is compatible with this technology. You must have Android 8 or more to have support for Wi-Fi Aware. If you match this requirement, you can know if your phone support Wi-Fi Aware by using the application AIDA64, which provide multiple specifications of your phone. The information can be find in the Network page, in Wi-Fi category. It requires to have the Wi-Fi switched on in order to test the API access.
Whether your phone support or not the technology, please report the result here, alongside with your phone model.You can report the result the way you want, screenshot, text. I will then add your phone capability to this list (That I cannot link yet because of this forum restriction...)
I am currently especially focused on smartphone having Snapdragon 845 or Snapdragon 855 processors

Partial Screenshot for Poco X3

As we know, partial screenshot mode has available for MIUI 12 build 20.5.25. But this build haven't released for Poco X3 atm.
Thus, anyone here know how to have this function in Poco X3? It could be modify the OS, or install new application.
Also, solution to be able to crop the image in clipboard without save it locally would be welcome

Camera2API Support

Hello,
does this phone support the Camera2API module? I frequently use OpenCamera and FilmicPro on my Honor 10 so I was wondering if I can do the same with Honor 20. If possible, could someone send screenshots from the 'Camera2 API Probe' and 'Filmic Pro Evaluator' apps?
Thank you.
Ok, so I got ahold of this phone and I tested out what it can and can't do regarding these functions. The result are are not terrible but not great either.
Camera2API
Here is the full report from the Camera2 API Probe. It's hard to read compared to the Android app, but here is my summary: It supports resolutions up to 48MP. It supports manual exposure (ISO/shutter). White balance too. The biggest caveat: no RAW support. You can't shoot in RAW with 3rd party applications like OpenCamera. Manual exposure works, you can also use the wide angle camera with manual exposure controls.
FilmicPro / OpenCamera
Here are the screenshots from the FilmicPro Evaluator app for all of the cameras available. In this case most of the features are supported. The EIS works only up to [email protected] though. You can't shoot 120fps videos with third party applications. The biggest caveat - no Cinematography Kit (aka LOG profile) support. I'm guessing this is related to the RAW format compatibility but I don't actually know. Same goes for OpenCamera, the color profile setting isn't available for video mode. Also, the EIS doesn't seem to work on OpenCamera for some reason.
(here starts the rant)
Honestly it's not bad (better than the P30 for example) but I don't understand why they disabled the RAW shooting option. I don't actually understand why they would limit the API at all for a phone at this price range. Especially when my Honor 10 (which was relased 1 year earlier) has this option. My guess is that it messes with their ****ty marketing gimmicks like 'Ultra-sharp 48mp mode' etc. This phone is good, but Huawei always makes a lot of specific enhancements with their software, and thus the options for customisation are limited. It's not a bad thing for "regular" customers that don't care about features like this, but I think they should allow the enthusiast to do their thing if they want to. It's going downhill since they stopped giving out bootloader unlock codes. While Huawei makes good phones, I feel like they are going more the closed-up iPhone way, and unfortunately this isn't something that suits me. I'll probably look somewhere else for my next phone - something like OnePlus (if the situation doesn't change).
If you have any other questions about the camera, or phone in general, feel free to ask.
