Camera Module - Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers

Can any of you go to the about phone section and tap repeatedly on kernel information and then send me a screenshot? I'm not sure which sensor in particular are these guys using and the customer support won't give me a straight answer lol
Xiaomi doesn't know lol

I want to see this info too!
I think it does not have this sony IMX486 sensor...
The people of kimovil web, tested the MWC unit and getting the info from a picture taken with this unit, they say it have a Samsung S5K2L7 sensor for the primary rear camera.
P.D. Sorry for my english

Camera information
back_aux: whyred_s5k5e8_ofilm_i
back: whyred_imx486_ofilm_global_i
front: whyred_imx376_ofilm_global_i
Extracted from my Redmi Note 5 Pro.

Great!!!
I supose is the indian version no?
I hope it keeps in the global version
anyway it seems strange that mount a "better" sensor than the new mi mix 2s

Anyone knows which sensor they put on the Chinese / Global versions?
I saw a video telling that they used a Samsung S7 sensor on the Chinese version, but I do not have any corfirmation regard this.

Finaly, Chinese camera sensor info:
back_aux: whyred_s5k5e8_ofilm_i
back: whyred_s5k2l7_ofilm_cn_i
front: whyred_ov13855_sunny_cn_i
Rear main camera not has the Samsung Galaxy S7 sensor(the S5K2L1) though, but a very similar one.
Front camera has an omnivision sensor.
I really wanna see a comparassion against indian version.

Can you send the link of this video?
Thanks in advance

Samsung S5K2L7 with F1.9 aperture as the main rear and OV13855/S5K3L8 with F2.0 as the front for the Chinese variant. Higher number of IMX486 doesn't indicate anything when compared to IMX363. IMX363 should be a polished version of IMX362, and the same applies to IMX486 with IMX386. Sony's logic is weird.

[App] Camera Super Pixel (high quality photos)

Hi all,
I'm very happy to announce that next version of the app will be also compatible with Micromax Canvas A1.
Bad news is that Canvas A1 (6.0.1) is limited to 2.1MP burst shots (rear camera could support 5MP), good news is that this is the full resolution of the front camera. You can shot 8.3 MP selfies with a big quality improvement (sharper and noiseless pics).
I have attached a beta on this thread to test the app. Please, report me if you have any problem on your device. Thanks!
Go to this thread for default quality of pics in any updated version after kitkat

Hello

Where is forum for redmi note 5 with 13 MP front camera and 636 snapdragon??

I am really sorry if this is not a place to post this but I couldn't find it.
The forum description says that this is for redmi note 5 with 20MP front camera.
I have version with 13 MP front camera and dual primary camera. Is there even a subforum for my version of device?
Sorry for the confusion?

yes it's true, but just because the indian version has sony sensor on the front cam doesn't mean it's better.
imo the global version is brighter (f/2.0 1.12µm) compared to f/2.2 1µm.
I mean yes the indian version has a lot more resolution, but that's not how it works to judge how good the camera is.

some gcam mods are working for the global vers.
I tested MGC 5.1.018 Urikill.
The front camera is working fine except the HDR+.
I don't know if it's my settings or just the mod.
My advice is just try it all, you'll never know if you don't try. Make sure to enable the camera2api

Gcam for Redmi Note 8 Pro

No GCam camera for Redmi Note 8 Pro. The MediaTek processor does not support this software.
Mm...ur wrong. We have gcam. But its not better than stock
Can you upload stoc and gcam photos for comparison?
i use this one, it was for kirin 980 and work well https://mega.nz/#!bFdQUILT!aUG4Dr8u8GMTZ_hisIbRn-sAkG2pF9kCQtyIJjjfDQU
Quality of the photos is very bad
The latest version of the @fu24 gcam is functional.
Found here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=80266565&postcount=378
Edit:
The gcam works, the photo makes it, even with the wide angle, but the hdr+ doesn't work. There is no difference between taking a photo with the hdr+ deactivated, hdr+ activated and hdr+ enhanced.
Let's see if any dev can run the hdr+ on this device..... @fu24

On Note 8 Pro "global" version...
Pro :
- it works
- this version is able to recognize wide angle and macro with proper settings
- panorama and photosphere seems to be available
Cons :
- photos are worst than stock application
- front camera is recognize as 5MP
- choosing video leads to crash
- night mode and portrait mode aren't available
I probably will try other versions to help in the future...

Reason for recognizing front cam as 5MP is that its a 20MP snapper with pixel binning so the output with GCam will always be 5MP (20/4) untill the developer tweaks this.
---------- Post added at 02:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:20 PM ----------
Although MediaTek chipsets are not bad as per my personal experience with them but they always lack a developers community.
Same is the case happening with Redmi Note 8 Pro. We all know that GCam brought wonders to Redmi Note 7 and 7 Pro with the GCam ports but with Redmi Note 8/8 Pro lineup we can only take benefit of GCam port with only regular variant i.e. Redmi Note 8. Everyone wishes to play with new 64MP sensor with GCam on it but not the developers community. Sad for everyone of us who has the Redmi Note 8 Pro or is planning to own one (like me).
plz correct me if I'm wrong
gcam goodness depends on Qualcomm DSP,
without it, its better to use stock camera app

With Redmi note 8 pro and Mediatek Chip, developers will pay attention to this chip.. Xiaomi will sold a lot of this phone so.. also between them will be developers.. Kernel source is realised..
When I buy Redmi note 7 in April, I wait couple months for first custom ROMs.. now we have it a lot..
Also ,after some time , RN8 pro will get it to also..

S20 camera

Hi, I just purchased a Samsung s20 4G, taking close-up photos of a text or image that fails to focus with 64 mpx mode. Is it a software or hardware problem? Do I have to take it to service? Thank you

Welcome to the s20 bull**** [emoji1787] update the firmware, and reset the camera app. That should solve. Other return it and buy other brand in 2020 [emoji2957]

Firmware is up to date? I think you must chose macro lens maybe, I don't know. Normally I should upgrade for s20 series after 2 years but I had pass.
They are just a big shot in is own foot by Samsung [emoji1787] camera, overheat, battery [emoji2361]

When you use the telephoto camera with 3:4 12mp in any magnification level you should be at a minimum distance of 10cm-4inch away from the subject.
When you use the telephoto camera with 3:4 64mp you should be at a minimum distance of 20cm-8inch away from the subject.
A lower distance results in a blured picture.
