No you can't as they are 2 different phones with completely different hardware. Is that even a question ?
Hi guys, on youtube Teardown video it looks like that Redmi Note 8 pro has OIS (optical image stabilization) for main 64MP chip???
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YLQ0qh2YBtE

I can't understand what is this?

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.
can't we deserve a gcam port for redmi note 8...? ??
still we don't get any stable gcam for note 8 which works best in all section ??

There is a gcam mod that works fine on the Note 8, sorry I can't quite remember which one I downloaded but the version number is 7.0.009.259843690 according to my phone, maybe some expert out there can work out which one I used? It was from on here somewhere...
i also tried many but not a stable.....some potrait are awesome but night sight is so bad and many on....
still there is no version of ultrawide supported lens and macro...but note 8 pro already got it
I got two gcam version....
1. Camera PX (7.2.014...)
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ETU9Q56VqXENrzjvCwcSl5P6ALDiqnEy/view?usp=drivesdk
Which back camera quality is best in all section without potrait...but front camera is very worst in all section. In a word front camera is disgusting
2. Camera (7.3...)
https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/f/changelog996/
It is the best for front camera in all section...
back camera quality isn't bad but as not as well 1st one...
The combination of this two mod can make a best one...
And also developer can add ultrawide and macro lens support

No working wide or macro on any GCam yet though.
Since rear camera of the Pixel 2 XL broke I plan to replace it. For this time I decided to no longer use Google devices. Since my Pixel 2XL is unable to capture pictures / videos because it's all about my work. I was planning switch to Pixel 3 but they have the same issue. I will ask any people in this forum, which Snapdragon 845 device is best to replace my Pixel 2XL under the $ 345 USD used condition or new condition. My choice is OnePlus 6 / 6T or other brands. Can you guys give me an option for my confusion.
Thanks a lot, sorry for my bad English. :laugh:

didn't you replace your camera module? the problem came back?
I've never done that, even though camera module is available on ifixit or aliexpress. Because I think replacing it will break the device. I'm not good at that field. I thought that instead of replacing the camera module it would be better if I bought another device.

gotcha. my camera still works, though sometimes it shows focusing issues. I'll probably replace it soon
are you willing to sell your pixel 2 xl? I could use it to replace my motherboard (I have a Verizon variant).
How do I sell it to you? My Pixel 2XL is Verizon variant too. No body dent/crack or something, no screen burn in/shadows. Only rear camera can't be used.
oh nvm then, id replace the main board in order to unlock the bootloader
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.

Did you try to change the module? Did it work? Do you need to change the firmware?

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.

Have you tried custom ROM? Also for 10t pro rom?

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
