Barometer sensor - OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers

Gsmarena says in the specs that oneplus 3 has a barometer sensor, but several barometer/ sensors apps failed to list it or give a reading. Is it a problem with my phone or we don't have a pressure sensor?

We don't have a pressure sensor. After all humans write stuff in gsmarena and they might be expecting too much from this phone

Barometer and pedometer sensors

Hello,
Does OP3 have barometer and dedicated pedometer sensors? Specification isn't clear on those two.

Fingerprint unlock faster than S10+?

Anyone tested this? I'm not finding any info on this.

It is supposed to be the same.

Heard that the update Samsung has already rolled out is supposed to improve the fingerprint sensor.
It's the same speed with S10's. Although needs some try and error at first because the sensor has moved up.
I've been listening to and watching tons of reviews... I'd say most of them have said the scanner is much faster than the S10+.
More accurate than the s10 plus I had at launch. One of the reasons I returned it the s10. Happy with the fingerprint scanner on the note 10 plus so far.

I have a s10 5g and it's the same sensor that note 10 and yes, it's more accurate and quickly.

From Gizmodo:
"And while Samsung’s in-screen fingerprint sensor doesn’t affect display quality, one of the most pleasant surprises with the Note 10+ is how much faster its fingerprint recognition is compared to the Galaxy S10. The S10's in-screen fingerprint reader was a good replacement for rear-mounted options, but whatever Samsung did to the Note 10's sensor had made it noticeably superior."
There are many other reviews like this. I'm thrilled to hear this!
From CNET:
"The Note 10 Plus also fixes my two major complaints about spring's S10+: the in-screen fingerprint reader is dramatically more accurate this time around, and the camera's dedicated night mode improves photo quality in low light.

Flashing white pixel near camera

I just got this phone a few days ago and I noticed sometimes when I unlock the phone there's a flashing circle of pixels near the camera.
Is this normal or did I get a defective device?
This only happens when I unlock the phone and not all the time. Maybe happens 3 out of 5 times. It still bothers me tho.
On the note 10 I saw there was the same flashing circle and they claim its the proximity sensor. If it is a proximity sensor, is there anyway to stop it from lighting up?
PS: I couldn't upload the video so I attached a screenshot from the video
I have the same on s20+5g exynos but only when I make call.

Proximity sensor as well??
I think so

This is the proximity sensor and it is active during phone calls and unlocking.
I noticed this on the first day I took delivery of my s20+.
Dont panic. It's just the proximity sensor.
You can test this by making a phone call, that place will start to blink. Cover it with a finger, you'll see the screen going blank.
I learned this from the note 10 community. It's present on the note 10 as well.

Its the proximity sensor. WHen on a call, pop your finger over it and watch your display turn off

Proximity sensor

Although Honor claims that 9X Pro does have a proximity sensor, the reality is different. Unfortunately, mine does not have a physical proximity sensor. It is not a big deal, but they should be honest with their customers at least.
Does your 9X Pro lacks physical proximity sensor also?

Question Camera sensor replace!?!?!?!?

If i buy a diferent sensor can i replace it and will it funcion normaly? Or would need some custom firmware?
Buying a different camera sensor will not work. First of all the contacts to attach it to the daughter board will be different. Secondly it probably won't fit in the cameras space and so would rattle. Thirdly the firmware wouldn't understand the output of the sensor. Sorry
if only android worked as proper os with modular drivers or should i say it's Qualcomm fault.... as far as my testing i think sensors on poco f3 are not bad at all it's the software that counts these days, if you can tweak gcam you can get good results in color reproduction and dynamic range and video quality as well, keep in mind that all phone camera systems have limitations and the best bet is getting a cheap used compact camera like lumix lx10 or sony rx100 or canon g7x.

Someone tried a IMX686 (or IMX 682) from a K40 Pro in the standard K40(actually vice versa but the point still stands) and it will not work. If you can read chinese then watch this video. Basically the camera module can fit in the connector and can fit in the frame but it will not work both in standard and 48MP mode as the driver is missing.

Nah the sensor is objectively awful, especially in low light conditions. My 3 year old MI 8 has a better sensor.

For me the sensor is like lightyears ahead of my old phone, that thing can't even take a low light photo without blur in 80% of scenarios. Probably because my standards are set so low that this sensor is amazing to me.

imx363 is a very good sensor even if it's lacking pixel banding but what make the difference is the lenses, tbh they used a higher quality one in mi8 compared to f3, also the lack of ois on f3 affects low light quality
