Hardware upgrade Mi 10T to Mi 10T pro - Xiaomi Mi 10T / 10T Pro Questions & Answers

Hi Everyone
Considering that the only difference between the devices is the camera, I own a Mi 10t, and the stabilization is very bad. Do you think it is possible to do this hardware upgrade by buying the sensor of the mi10 t pro?

You would be better off selling your 10T and upgrading then.
You would run into a lot of issues because the 108mp sensor firstly won't fit the 10T and then there are multiple issues because of this,also the software,
There is no software for such a hybrid device
I went for the Pro version personally and it's great,no issues.

I've watched and compared some teardowns of Mi10T and Mi10TPro and the camera modules are 100% identical (the 64mp camera has some plastic around it to be the same size as the 108mp sensor). Also, they share the exact same software. A camera swap should be possible. Just replace the whole camera module + the camera lenses.

Here is for 24$ USD and should be the same size.

Hi, if you are still looking to do this, I have tried this with mixed results. The ois works, but the camera is capped at 64 mp. The software only allows you to select 64mp in pro mode. I am wondering if I can get my hands on the 10t pro app or firmware. Will keep you posted.

I saw a pro module for 10$, so no-brainer for me just for the ois. Hopefully someone will find what to change to get all 108mpx, firmware is the same for nonpro+pro, so there is only some switch inside?

I have fw 12.5.12. (global)
I did put pro camera module inside (easy just remove rear cover and few screws).
Photos in 64mpx mode are now 108mpx (picture 3).
When you take a picture you have white bar at the bottom (picture 2), it is only in preview of regular photo mode, video/night/64mpx are ok. Photo is saved fine, no white bar.
You can zoom-in in playback more than with 64mpx, it will tell you it is 108 and show a square of zoom section in bottom right.
On picture 4 is 64mpx at 600% on left, 64mpx at 100% in the middle, and 108mpx at 600% on the right, you can compare details.
OIS is not working in photo nor video, that was why I decided to do an upgrade, I am sad now.

It should work since the rom package is the same.... did you tried to clean flash rom? (were you using global or chine/xiaomi.eu?)

I am using global, now it offered update to 13.0.2.0, but no change, I will try to update to latest MIUI 13 22.4.6

so after clean upgrade to MIUI 13 22.4.13 everything is the same, line in camera app, ois not working

I had the same results, i had posted about it but not in detail. Any luck so far? I think there might be some hardware difference built in that is preventing ois to work, even if the rom is same and everything. but I might be wrong.

not a custom rom yet, no. I know little about roms. I could not find any stock rom exclusive to 10t pro either. I can try with a custom rom and update you. Any recommendation for custom rom?

Has anyone else tried? , I have both cameras and I want to install the 108 mp to the motherboard that has the 64 mp

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

Redmi Note 5 GLOBAL/CN gcam samples?

Hello Could someone with the global/CN version of this device (the f/1.9 aperture) post some comparison between the stock and gcam photos? I'm especiallly curious about how much it helps in low light situations. I've seen some comparison on youtube, but unfortunately the guy had Indian version of this device which has different camera.
Thank you in advance!
I would like to see this as well. Also, I wonder how google camera on Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro compares to Xiaomi Mi A2 (performance/quality-wise)
Last one is in low light, the rest it seems are better detailed in gcam, also MIUI cam has trouble with red colors. Not a very big difference, not like kenzo with gcam.

Thank you very much, but I have to disagree there with you - many of the photos look a day and night difference to me, especially the chocolate rabbit; the stock camera sample is a grainy mess while GCAM turned it into a very decent photo. The petunia photo also shows much more details on the leaves and daylily looks just gorgeous on the gcam.
Thanks again, much appreciated :good:

Glad I could be of help.
Yes the low light photo has less noise than MIUI cam, I was mostly referring to the daylight photos. I own a Redmi Note 3, compared to stock MIUI camera, gcam on redmi note 3 takes 2-3 times better photos.
On RN5 the difference isn't as big as on RN3.
Have a look at these, some of them have even better details than RN5, in low light RN5 wins though. There's no need to tell which ones are from stock camera.

Mi Max 3 Gcam HDR+ vs Mi Max 2 Gcam HDR+?

Hi, was wondering if anyone could do a Mi max 2 Gcam HDR+ vs Mi max 3 Gcam HDR+ front and rear camera comparison? I would like to see the maximum potential of these two cameras to see how much it has improved and whether I should get this or just keep the Mi Max 2? Thank you!

Only a few people may have both of these phones and even fewer probably use gcam on them so I would not be to optimistic about someone posting a comparison. I have used the gcam mod on many different devices from Xiaomi and the results has more or less been the same. I would guess that Max 2 and Max 3
produce very similair results when using the gcam mod. Photo quality from smartphones are like 90% software optimization and 10% camera hardware quality.

Not at all. I owned a Redmi 5 Plus and Huawei Mate 10 at the same time. I prefered the low light photos from 5 Plus with gcam even tough Mate 10 has way better camera hardware.

It's true, I guess it was worth a shot. I'm only asking because I checked the mi max 3 vs pixel 2 gcam comparison on XDA the other day, and IMO the mi max 3 was better than the pixel 2 in almost all the shots, I was shocked myself, so I wanted to know if it improved by a lot when compared to the mi max 2.

In January I posted a comparison between Redmi 5 Plus and Mi 5S, using the ported gcam app on both phones.
https://www.flickr.com/photos/[email protected]/albums/72157692005458944
Even though Mi 5s has a "much better" image sensor, the photo quality was very close IMO. The reason? As I said earlier, the photo quality from smartphone cameras is mostly about software optimizations.
IMO all phones produce more or less the same results when using Gcam and HDR+. You may find minor differences here and there, but not any large differences.
I'm waiting Max 3 6G/128G. As I know Max 3 has all Samsung camera sensors which are more compatible with GCam so result will be better. HDR+ processing speed also improved on higher performance Max 3
I got both phone. And also the third one, the mi max prime, first of all! ^^.
All are rooted. But i'm in vacation. So... You need to wait. But I can allready said that mi max 3 cam is more more capable that cam of the mi max 1...

I have both Mi Max 2 and 3, both with GCam installed (but different versions)
The Max 3 has more/different GCams available (that don't crash), and thus has better quality

You should do yourself a favor and install a custom OS anyways, and have your phone rooted
One of the reasons I prefer Android is rooted apps that give me a more pleasant experience, like Adblock, custom keyboard add-ons, Xposed
It also takes 1 second to apply the Gcam patch if your phone is rooted

They again make a different phone for India?
First was with Redmi note 7 and 48MP camera, that they never got,instead they got less pixels..
Now with Redmi note 8 pro, why do they remove NFC? And put one slot more?
Also about OIS, we saw on video that main camera have image stabilization, but did Global version have it also? I have Global version with EU ROM.. do I have optical stabilization?

This is what I found out from moderators from Mi community:
Redmi Note 8 Pro released for India has dedicated microSD slot. Though the camera can move, it doesn't mean it has OIS, there is another mechanical movement which is for auto-focus.
It has no OIS. The lens still have to move for AF.

Doesn`t the normal SD chipset work for everyone not on the exynos chip?
Holding my fingers crossed for a Exynos port of the Gcam for the Ultra. Even with the camera update it seriously smears the texture on photos and have had some horrible portrait photos as a result.
Most annoying part is that if you use the pro mode you get excellent results without any smeared skin tones but using the main camera set on auto without bixby scene detection and 12mp binned photos it sure looks like **** most of the time.
I think Samsung REALLY needs to improve a lot on the camera or it will be the biggest camera failure in the last 10 years....
So unless you mainly post to instagram and actually want to print pictures I suggest you use the 108mp setting and give it a quick sharpening in snapseed (or lightroom for some much needed defringing and sharpening)
So I´m holding out hope for a Gcam port for us stuck with the Exynos chipset that seems to produce slightly worse then the Snapdragon powered Ultra.
Other then that, I love the S20 Ultra and a worthy upgrade from my old S8+

I cant understand. I have oneplus 6.... crapy photie... I gave up and bought S20 Ultra... even crappier photos..... what is going on?????
With gcam one plus 6 photos almost looks great...
Should I sell S20 and buy Xiaom 10?
Hardware in S20 should be much better than in mi 10... but looks like software is crap??

if you can get snapdragon go for s20 if not just go for oppo xfinder x2 or mi 10 pro if camera is important for you, if you want the best camera go for p40 check dxomark.com for camera rankings although p40 have no google services but can be installed in less than 10 minutes
So for EU (Exynos) version of S20 Ultra there is no hope?

I use ZGCAM vers.917 on my EXYNOS S20 Ultra (XEF) :
-Night mode front and back
-PhotoBooth
-Photo Sphère (bugs sometimes)
-Slow Motion
-Zoom
-Video
-Google Lens
-Portrait (back and Front)
-Panorama
pictures looks better with stock in most of the cases (Night shoots) but with the correct settings i think GCAM will be much better than stock.
with the virus it's hard for me to spend a lot time outside to find the best set up but i think it's a good begining.
I can't share my pictures or setting for the moment( need 10 usefull posts before..)
let me know if you need more details
It is working!!
First app that has worked for me until now
Thank you very much
Do you know the best settings to use this cam on auto? Never worked with Gcam before

Actually, when I try night mode it shuts down the camera
