Does the european version of the A3 2017 have a compass ? - Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Questions & Answe

Hi,
I use google maps a lot when walking, so I need a compass, GPS alone isn't accurate enough. According to GSM Arena this phone has one, but they have been wrong before, they list the EU version of the Moto G5s as having a compass when it doesn't. Can anyone with the A3 2017 (especially the A320F European version) confirm if it has a compass ?, already ordered this phone and going to have to return it if it doesn't have one.
Thanks in advance.

I have the a320fl it has a compass..need to calibrate it regulary..

Looked at "Honor 7X Specs and Pics Leaked by DrGreenway" characteristics. Information about the model of the sensor is missing. Have Honor 6x on the main camera is the Sony sensor IMX386. And what is the sensor here?

Hi! I'm planning to buy the Honor 7x when it arrives in my country. However, I want to know first if it already supports Camera2 Api out of the box? I only plan to buy it because of the camera and I want shutter speeds of at least 20 seconds.
I don't know how to root phones so I'm using the phones as it is.
Thank you!

Reviews of the phone on YouTube say that the camera has a f / 2.2. This is very little, I was hoping for f / 2.0. I think that this phone is not worth buying for the camera.
As the other user above asked, does this phone support camera2 API?

Doubt about the gyro sensor

? Of course there's a gyroscope in this phone. Are there any smartphones out there made over the last 5 years without one?
features like youtube rotating and turning full screen when holding the phone in landscape mode or steering your car in asphalt 8 by tilting the phone obviously work (I got my honor 7x last week directly imported from China)

That's the accelerometer mate. The phone doesn't have a gyro.

To put this question to rest. Yes. This phone has a gyroscope.
I am attaching a couple of screenshots I took below from sensor test on Honor 7X. First showing all sensors present, then one of the gyroscope reading.
Edit: Wanted to clarify that I have the U.S. variant and it appears that the gyroscope is present. Tested a 360° youtube video and confirmed that it works.

Indian version does not come with a Gyroscope sensor. Just confirmed with the same app you are using
How about EU model?!

I watched a video on YouTube that says there should be an update which enables gyroscope. Might check for updates on your device

I do not know I am in the U.S. and have the U.S. variant so I only know the details of the model here. You might see if there is an update available. A YouTuber said he got an update which enabled gyroscope. He also went along and tested it himself; it worked. So, you might want to check for an update if you have not already.

I bought my H7x at the German Amazon Store, I got a H7x with Version BND-L21C432B101 and it has a gyrosensor
But it looks like some version got it with an new software update https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-7x/help/gyroscope-issue-t3724681
True this is confirmed that with the update the gyroscope starts working..
so be ready for updates..

eu model is 4gb with 64gb and there is gyroscope
It seems to me that Huawei/Honor put in the hardware, but didn't activate it until the software update.

the second video he uploads with the same model of honor 7x which is TL10..he said he updated the phones fimware or software and then gyroscope comes out or works..

That's great, at first I thought it didn't have gyroscope, now with every variant having gyro enabled through an update, I'm satisfied that I'm getting it

Xiami Mi Smart 5 s\n XMSH10HM with hidden spO2 sensor?

Hi all.
I have read about voices of spO2 sensor on Mi Band 5.
I bought global version on the mazon (I'm from Italy) and of course, there is no mension about spO2 sensor.
I'd like to know if you know anything about this sensor. No rumors, just solid news.
There is an hidden sensor non activated for some strange commercial reason or it's just a fake?
Thanks.
P.s. I'm sorry for posting my question here but there is no section about Mi Smart 5 yet.
They do seem to share firmware but I don't think that they would lock hardware , I am also wondering about NFC.
IMHO they will improve it on mi band 6.
