Question Should I buy Xiaomi mi 10 5g or poco f3? - Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40

I am looking for an all-rounder phone. But poco f3 camera isn't good enough. So i was thinking about buying mi 10 since it's price came down. Mi 10 has much better camera and i guess all the other aspects are comparable ( i don't care about wireless charging). I want to use my phone for at least 3 years. For this i need proper custom rom and gcam support. What do you guys think? Which phone should I go for?

poco f3 256 vs mi 10 pro 256
hi all I'm going mad about to chose between this 2 phones plz help me witch one is the best for me i need camera for video not pictures i need good gaming best touch respawns time i need custom roms to push it to limits witch one is the best for...

For Custom ROMs and GCam, just look around in the XDA forum for the specific phones.

I think you already made your decision by "poco f3 camera isn't good enough".
For me it is still good enough, especially the macro gave me some really new aspects... Hey, it is a Smartphone, not Profi-DSLR.

But since I will install custom rom on mi 10, and stock camera app not available on custom roms, will there be a good gcam app for 108 mp camera? I have heard that in case of mi 10 stock camera works better than gcam. That's why i wanted to be sure about the compatibility of gcam with 108mp camera.

Better photo is subjective.
The camera module is objective.
If photo is that important to you, choose the phone with best camera.
GCam and MIUI camera are both software. Software can be adjusted and updated.
If GCam can use all the camera of the phone, it's compatible.
Better photo is subjective. Different opinions from person to person.

Make the switch?

Not sure if this is the right spot to post this. Anyways, I'm looking to make the switch back to android. Currently I'm using the iPhone 6s Plus. I like it and all, but miss android.
Now my question is, should I sell this and grab a op3? My main concern is the camera. I've hear a lot of ups&downs about it. And I am very pleased with the 6s Plus camera.
Help me out, I can't decide lol.
(And yes I realize I am posting in an android community lol)
Can't really tell you if the Op3 camera is better or as good as the 6s, as I don't have experience with the 6s... But I've had no issues with the Op3 camera...
Maybe check some comparisons...
http://www.phonearena.com/news/Best...Galaxy-S7-iPhone-6s-Plus-LG-G5-HTC-10_id83011
Trying to be fair I'd give a 9/10 to iPhone 6s camera and a 8/10 to OP3's one, so there you go: probably iPhone is a better shooter, but OP3 plays fairly well, too, and gives you so many other benefits.
As long as you stick with OxygenOS or HydrogenOS, the camera is fantastic. If you want to go aosp/cm, go with sultanxda CM, he's implemented a custom camera HAL that outperforms the stock HAL on aosp roms despite it being a tad glitchy at times. I'm currently running the community build of OxygenOS 3.5.2 and it's great!
if camera is the priority.. NO.. I am a big android fan but it looks like the new iPhone 7 is the best all around phone at the moment. I myself would not buy it as I hate ios but if you like iPhone and are not opposed to shelling out the price for the 7. sadly it outperforms any phone in the market and from what I have heard the camera is better than any out there. it all depends on your budget I love android and I wouldn't switch to ios just for camera but than again its al preference. keep in mind the freedom you get from android. weight out the pros and cons.
The camera on the 6S is on par with the OnePlus 3 if you ask me, there may be a very little difference...I've used both and they perform almost identical to me.
OP3 camera is amazing at daytime, but at nighttime you will notice a difference.

Will we ever have cameras with good quality?

a question. We will never have a rom cooked for mi max with the correct drivers for the camera? now begin to cook the rom with android O and for when xiaomi release android nogout for the mi max, will have already abandoned the cooking for android nogout and so on. we can never install a rom cooked with good camera because the cameras are of very low quality because never wait for the release the drivers for start to cook new releases of android. This is a question Not a scolding. just in case.. sorry for my bad english
Don't know what you mean by correct drivers, but devs are just that, devs... not magicians. We can't make it up for the crappy hardware, nobody can...
And what is up with all those camera complaints!? It's not like you didn't know what you are buying when paing 1/3 the price of those so called flagship phones.
Look at the Max 2... Worst SoC, a litle bigger battery, better camera chip -> double price!!!
So my counter question to your question is what did you expect for the price you paid? DSLR-like camera?

I say that the cooked ROMs always come with the generic driver because they are always with a version for which there is no official support. For example the mi max has not yet release its rom of android 7.0, therefore there are no drivers for the camera for the roms cooked in that version. And now when xiaomi release the rom with android 7.0 then the cooks will already have abandoned android 7.1 for android O and so on. Obviously you do not understand what you read. And you do not have to respond rudely.

Ok, you got me. I guess you know how roms are cooked. My bad, I'll shut up now and never speak again about these stuff. Sorry
If you allow me before I go back in the hole I came from... Why stating facts is considered rude? Just curious... Happens often lately...
why is everyone so nasty on this site?

I feel the camera on Mi Max is doing good job for everyday life.

I totally agree. And I think the HDR of the stock camera is actually pretty great.
That is until it comes to evening/night shots.....but hey, for the money it's still great!
I have said it before. For the price, the camera is good, especially in good light.
Best phone camera I have used is Nokia lumia 1020. I find the camera on my mi max is fine in decent light. If I need good photos I use a camera, anyone remember them?

He wasn't being rude, he was just stating the facts. For a $300 device the camera is good for every day use. It may not be the best in low light but not many are in this price range. The camera seems the same to me in any ROM, I don't see a difference in the picture quality. The hardware just isn't as capable as a flagship phone and HDR really doesn't do much.

Realme 2 pro CAMERA SURPRISE

We all know that our beloved realme 2 pro has a 16 mp rear shooter. However i have tested with multiple other camera apps and found that it is actually 20.1 mp omg. Developers should have a look at it. Its very strange that realme chose not to set 20.1 mp as the default resolution when it has such a good camera.

Don't rely on these type of apps. What resolution does-its the printable size in simple words, doesn't affect in picture quality. Its totally software level issue. You can build an app that can even produce a 64mp image in your 8/16mp cameraphone. See the product specification of Sony IMX398 sensor in their official page or wiki. Its capable to capture only 16.1 mp. So, don't trust any 3rd party app. Maybe there are some kind of bugs for which its creating this type of confusion.
Same case with CPU Identifier Pro
Haha apparently you're believing in the wrong app dude.
CPU-Z says that Realme 2 Pro has SD 636. Will you believe it? LUL ofc not(who knows? maybe an overclocked 636? )

Oh they've updated it? Good
Megapixels dont fuc**** matter. A 12 mp with proper soft optimization can do much better than a 48 mp camera

MTFBWY!
Vacation in Punta Cana a month ago.
The main camera has produced very consistent results for me with the Mi app. For very dark conditions, a tripod and Google Camera take things to the next level. Very happy with the camera coming from my Mi A2
Very nice. At daylight the camera is great.
I think it can improve more with gcam made specific for the device, it's as good as my old Leeco pro 3, a 3 years old mid-range phone. I'm comparing the photos and are the same quality, because I had a very fine tuned gcam.
The 7.2 gcams didn't have many options yet, need one with 48mp mode and more libs to chose. And I hope with time will be a mode to do video with wide angle camera
at night is just ok, i want more!
One of mine spheres published in Street View.
GCam, config hidusb10.
@Cni, may I ask what Gcam and settings you have found to work best?
After updating to MIUI 11 (Android 9) I have found the Mi stock camera app to perform much better at night and can almost perform on par with the Gcam in general. I've not been very impressed with Gcam's output on my device. I've tried Urynx and Parrot's Gcam versions
I'm using latest urynx on Android 10 Paranoid android. On the lib patcher settings, a little more of sharpness and contrast and a little bit less of denoise.
I've tried ANX camera which is same as stock miui camera but it have to many bugs. I'm really considering going back to miui
Gcam mod , great photos during day and night!
Wide and zoom lenses suck do

I think is this one . I am on MIUI 11 EU ROM latest update. I didn't mess a lot with settings in app it self.
Would anyone mind reuploading the gcam apk?

I don't remember the exactly version of Gcam but i think almost all photos were 7.1 parrot.

Question Gcam

Anyone tryied a working gcam port for A32 4G. Ultracam doesn´t work.
Don't search anymore: our phone will not support it until rooted. Camera2api is disabled.
Samsung, You are the worst.
Waiting for ROM.

It's true... disappointing that Samsung has decided to block that option... sad.
Regular GCam doesn't work, but GCam Go should work.
Some links from the A22 thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/a22-gcam.4342111/post-86114193
Sadly Camera Go's quality isn't as good as regular GCam, but might be better than Samsung's camera.
Test and leave feedback to help other users.
the GCam that worked for me is PenguinGCam v7.0-hotfix1
Does anyone knows if there is any app with a comparable "Night Sight"?
GCam Go is ok (much better than stock camera night mode), but the original GCam is definitely even better. I wonder if there is any other app with similar results for low light pictures.

Isn't Samsung fault actually (I don't know what to tell about if was their choice choose MTK SoC in first place), since A32 4G has a Mediatek SoC, you can't enable Camera2API in Mediatek processors and Gcam doesn't support Mediatek processors, mostly Snapdragon processors are the most compatible with Camera2Api and Gcam, even there are some methods for make it work but not all are functional. We talked the same for those we have A22 4G.
