I know that on the back there are one main camera, two secondary cameras, one flash.... But what about the other hole? What is it?

It's just a gimmick so Xiaomi tricks others to think that your phone has a penta camera setup
Looool thanks!
I read somewhere it was a rear light sensor... But I wasn't sure

Does anybody here use this phone?
SOrry for noob question but does it support video calling?
Or WP7 does not support it ATM?
And what are these 3 sensors in front of it?
No WP7 device currently has video calling. The lens you're seeing is probably the proximity sensor, which detects if your face is up to the phone and shuts off the screen so you don't accidentally press something.

Yeah but there are 3 there. Two similar and one deeper looking like camera.....
I have the Optimus 7 and it doesn't have a camera at the front. None of the WP7 devices out there has a front facing camera and I guess that's because video calling isn't supported.

One will be a proximity sensor, one will be a light sensor for automatic brightness and no idea on the third.

if i try taking a picture using my front camera, its really blurred... is it normal?, because i had some phones before that only have VGA Frontal Camera but the images seems to be fine...
i know that we have a great Main camera, but there will be times that you need to use this front camera especially if no one will took picture of you *with you're friends/gf* LOL.. because its hard to use main camera since there's no camera button...

You probably need to get in there with a cotton bud.
You can always use the main camera with a 3 or 10 second timer.

i already did clean the lens... crystal clear but still its worst than most of VGA frontal cam?
thanks for the advice about the timer, but i'm still hoping for much better frontal cam...
The front camera is garbage. Mine makes me look bright pink! The main camera quality is also pretty average, I find it no better than my old Desire HD.

will there be an app or ROM that can fix this?
sometimes there are bits of violet color, which make me look like barney.. LOL
For the red tinge, try dropping the saturation to -1. I don't have any focus problems tho.
cleaning the lens worked for me

my front cam looked really horrible for a while... blurry, tint was way off, grainy, lots of artifacts. cleaning the recessed lens definitely did the trick for me.
Make sure you're well lit. Here's a sample from my camera for the quality you should expect.
Everyone knows the weakness behind our Back Camera.. but does everyone know how POWERFUL our front facing camera is? I bet you didn't know you can crank the ISO to 12446 on the front facing camera
You can now take selfies in almost pitch black rooms (and come out grainy, but visible).
Inside the "Selfie" mode, click on EV +2 and go into a dark room.
Your image will automatically being super grainy but you'll be able to see yourself like no other!

Yes...it's weird it only works on front camera and not on regular one...but yeah! Takes photos on pitch black room
Does anyone know if the rear facing camera has an IR filter on it? That may explain this, because if the rear facing camera has a filter but the selfie one does not, the selfie camera will let in more "light", and use ambient IR to illuminate your face slightly more. That's just my best guess.

The reason you can do this with the front is because the camera used is exactly the 4UP sensor from the M8 which has larger pixels for better low light performance
using the front camera vs the rear camera, I notice the front camera makes everyone look ghostly pale. the color tone is way off.
has anyone else noticed this?
also is there a way to calibrate or adjust the color tones of the front camera? (adjust it so it'll stay when using both front camera and Skype calls?)
thanks!

A lot of custom ROMS have issues with Camera. With stock nobody has issues, unless there is a hardware issue. I don't bother with front camera any way. I use a Logitech C930 1080p usb web camera, for front cam. It has a cool clip that mounts on edges of flat surfaces really well.
I had the chance to compare my camera vs someone else's s8 and my front camera is definitely pale. like lacking saturation or something..
might anyone know of a way i can adjust/ calibrate the front camera?
any leads are super welcomed, thanks.

S8??? WTF! This is for Note 8.0 tabets. For help go to the right thread on S8 forums. Diff hardware, and diff FW will have diff results.

lol I'm using a note 8, I just had a chance to compare it to someone's s8 today and side by side the colors on mine are super pale.

Nobody has ever complained about note 8.0 camera being pale in colors, for 3 years now. What ROM are you running. You can always flash back to stock, which I have done because it is stable and doesn't break things.
My realme x's pop up camera is accumulating a lot of dust. Although the camera is alright. What should I do about it?
yes in the depth sensor
image quality seems fine

Saw a YouTube video about the same, how does the dust go to the depth camera through the pop up camera ? If it does then weird design flaw. I too see dust going in through the pop up camera but nothing is in the depth camera yet, anyway I don't use front camera that much. And I read that in case of any pop up mechanism failure due to dust accumulation the phone is not covered under warranty. It will be treated as a physical damage. So good luck all realme x users with that.
