Mi 9 SE camera(s) vs Mi 9 - Xiaomi Mi 9 SE Questions & Answers

How do the Mi 9 SE cameras compare to the Mi 9? As neither of them seem to have OIS, from a quick glance, there seems to be a lot less difference between the two in terms of camera(s) this round, than with Mi 8 (SE).
It would be interesting to see a review and/or side by side photo examples shot with the different devices. If looking at GSMArena specs, the main camera is almost exactly the same (the SE missing Laser AF), with slight differences in aperture and pixel size between the telephoto and wide angle cameras. Also on super slow motion (960 fps) the SE doesn't support 1080p as the Mi 9 does, only 720p - which is due to the SD 710s capabilities I'd assume.
I've attached a table with what gsmarena has listed as the camera specs, however, these might change when more information is available (snapshot taken Feb 22nd).

[Q] Zenfone 2 camera? Owner and users, please share opinions and comparisons.

The Zenfone 2 releases in my country tomorrow, and I'm almost set on it being my next phone. Before I found out about the ZF2, my choice was going to be the OnePlus One.
I love the specs of the Zenfone 2 (who doesn't), but one aspect of the phone that's been getting mixed reception so far is the camera. While ASUS pimped the camera as one of the phone's greatest assets at CES, a couple of reviews/comparisons I've seen online describe a more disappointing (though not 'bad') camera on the phone, particularly in comparison to some of its competition.
eg. two articles from Indian tech magazine Digit, both commenting about the disappointing camera (and battery life) on the Zenfone 2.

http://www.digit.in/slideshows/asus-zenfone-2-performance-comparison-9.html
On the other hand, this GSMArena article has a better opinion of the camera.

What do the Zenfone 2 owners and users here think about the camera on their phones? Comparisons to the Zenfone 2's main competitors (OnePlus One and Xiaomi MI4) are welcome.
The latest update made a significant improvement in the image processing. much of the artifacting has been dramatically reduced.

what?
After reading the GSMArena review and the accompanying raw, untouched 1080p video samples they uploaded, I'm now quite worried about the quality of the video recording on the Zenfone 2. This is somewhat important to me, because I'm a musician and would want to record rehearsal and practice clips quite often, at a 'good' quality to upload online.
The GSMArena 1080p sample looked quite bad, IMO.
http://www.gsmarena.com/asus_zenfone_2_ze551ml-review-1240p8.php
"The output quality is nothing like you'd expect from a 1080p video and the level of detail is more or less comparable to 480p. The camera adjusts exposure at the slightest change of scenery and the resulting videos come out a bit choppy. Colors are good, but dynamic range is rather limited."
EDIT:
Just saw these two, in GSMArena's video comparison tool. This looks rather horrid, unfortunately.

Zenfone 2 camera quality
The Zenfone 2's 13-Megapixel camera zooming quality is not impressive, but the camera works best without zoom, its video recording is good. I will give its camera 4 stars out of 5 stars.

32 MP GCam ?

Does anyone have by any chance found a way to produce 32 MP shots using GCam ? I can't Invision the amount of details that would appear in the picture ,I searched everywhere and I am desperate for such mode ,even if the picture is just interpoalted
Thanks in advance ,have a nice day ?
Everybody Needs GCam For A70.
Everyone who have A70, needs GCam with proper cameras.
Rear : 32MP
Front: 32MP
Somebody says that samsung and other phones like Xiaomi, Oneplus, Realme etc. are using 4x technology. Means rendering image at 4x.
Redmi 7 Note Pro has 48 MP but it actually has 12MP camera means 4x12= 48MP.
Same case in other phones. Like realme 3 pro has 16MP camera but click 64mp ultra pic too.
Listen, If we are thinking like this 4x technology. Then Gcam shows rear camera = 8MP means 4x8=32MP. Means it's true.
But But But... In case of front camera why it shows 5.1 MP? means 5.1X4 =20.4 MP ? Strange!!!!!!!!
If 4x is used then why front camera shows 5.1 MP even it's also 32MP.
I am very sad because there is no developer, who shows interest in custom ROMS, Mods, GCam, TWRP etc. for Samsung A70.
I will wait for some days and then try to sale my A70.
Thanks.
If I'm not mistaken the camera has 4x8MP sensors and the gcam can only see one of them , the front camera is another issue and it mainly has to do with the way gcam is made. If anyone knows better please inform us.
8MP on the front, 5MP depth sensor, 8MP ultrawide and 32MP regular on the back. The 32MP sensor is a Samsung ISOCELL sensor that uses 2x2 pixel binning (basically 4 cells = 1 pixel) to produce a binned 8MP image.
Samsung's 12MP mode is curious, it's not really needed. Gcam produces better images at 8MP than Samsung's own camera software does at 12MP. Samsung's app is garbage, basically.
Samaung dont make all their camera modes available in public APIs and until that changes gcam will likely never fully support any Samsung phone.

960/240 fps slow motion missing?

Hi,
Is there a reason for the slow-motion 240 and 960 fps modes not included in this phone?
My device only showing 1080P/120 and 720p/120 modes.
Can anybody explain why?
Regards.

Those modes are for mi 10t which has sony sensor. Mi 10t pro has samsung sensor that doesn't have that speeds but has 108mp resolution. Bad thing is they never said anywhere about this...
I didn't know that, thank you for explanation.
It's a shame that this phone doesn't have at least 240 mode...

They both use a 108mp Samsung sensor but the Mi 10T pro uses an HMX version that only supports 120. What you would need is the Samsung 108mp HM1/2 sensor but that only supports 240fps anyway.

Some corrections needed here:
MI 10T (regular) uses Sony's sensor, IMX682. I think it supports 480fps max at 1080p (if someone could correct me).
Mi 10T Pro uses Samsung HMX sensor, which can go max to 148fps at 1080p.
Samsungs HM1 used in top level S20 Ultra and Note 20 Ultra can go 240fps at 1080p.
What about HM2 i'm not sure. There is no actual released phone yet (probably Redmi Note Pro 9 5G will be). -> Correction : HM2 can do 360fps at 1080p or 240fps at 4K. Quite impressive i think.

It seems I did a mistake with 10Tpro :/ No tele, no 720p slowmo, no moon Mode..
Well, you do use phone for more than just photos and moon mode, right? And Google camera can do impressive astrophoto which can trash moon mode everyday...
Now, i do believe that this will be mitigated in the future and that we'll see some upgrades in camera in the future
Slow motion video on 10T pro is the worst experience I have ever had in my happy time with my xiaomi. When you select slow motion mode. 10T pro only filmed a normal short clip. And then the video slows down by algorithm by the original Gallery app. This means when you share this clip with someone else. They will receive an original video at a normal rate.. !!

You have to save slowed version of video through the gallery app. It's option is right at the top. Then you can share the converted video.
Because yes usually its 120fps, so it plays at that frame rate. If you want slowed version, you have to do it manualy and decide which segments of frame will be normal and which is slowed down.

Then how on earth Samsung s20 ultra is capable of 960fps
The 108mp photos are crap,no tele,no slow motion...
But the main camera is amazing! excellent quality astrophotography!
Moon mode would be nice but how many times you gonna photo moon?

It doesn't. It does 480 hardware and then interpolates to 960 but there are artifacts. I gave up samsung ultra models, that's so disappointing.

Question Switch lens during filming

One thing I miss with my current Mi 10 Ultra is the posibility to jump between lenses during filming. For example: If I film with the normal lens and an object comes closer to me I could zoom out and the phone switched to the ultravide lens.
Mi 10 Ultra does not support this ( to my suprise, I come from a P30 pro and there it was seamless).
Does anyone know if OnePlus 9 Pro supports this?
Yea it does , but only 1080p 30fps supports ultra wide, main and telephoto, or else it is just ultra wide and main for all other modes apart from 4k 120fps which is only for the main

General Pixel 6 Pro video camera vs. rest of the world

I would like to use this thread to specifically discuss the video camera performance against other phones.
Spread some reviews, video comparisons - voice your thoughts, your experiences, whatever bothers you or whatever you like.
I'm going to start with that one
Google Pixel 6 Pro vs Xiaomi 11T Pro​- 4K 60
For some interesting reason, it seems that our P6 Pro swipes the floor with Xiaomi, HDR in video mode is spot on, whilst it's not that good in "normal" camera/stillshot mode. Google definitely has to improve upon still shot HDR/over sharpening (as discussed in other threads). Video performance though (at least in good lighting conditions) is very good.
Mind, of course, the camera limitations. Pixel 6 Pro only uses dedicated lenses (ultrawide/tele) when using 4K 30, they do not work in 4k 60. Hopefully Google can improve/ "fix" that in a future update.

Its not just the lens. Each lens has its own sensor, and they are not all the same sensor, nor are they attached using the same interface, so the hardware may not support higher framerate on the smaller sensors.
