what's the sensor of principa camera

Hi all,
I read everywhere that the phablet has a 12 MP primary sensor with f/2.2 lens and a secondary 5 MP with f/2.0 aperture for background blurring.
But what brand and model is it?
Could it be compatible to the pixel camera software as is that of the note 4?
thanks.

12MP Camera from Sony sensor
5MP camera from Samsung sensor
20MP front camera from Sony sensor

sensors dont that much when it comes to image quality in phone cameras. Its the software optimization that is more important. You could make the note 5 pro camera much better if say google developed the camera software for it like the pixel. Just the spec or sensor vendor does not indicate image quality,

I agree. in fact I was looking for information about the camera model to do targeted searches such as "camera model + pixel camera".
since someone has succeeded in modifying the camera driver of the note 4, I hope they succeed even for the 5 camera
EDIT: however, it would seem that the pixel camera driver are more related to the type of CPU rather than to the camera.

to be precise they would seem:
rear: Sony IMX486 - 12 mpx - f/2.2 - pixel 1.25 µm + Samsung – 5 mpx – f/2.0 – pixel 1.12 µm
front: Sony IMX376 – 20 mpx – f/2.2
thanks

What's the camera sensor used in Mi Max 3?

Is the camera sensor same as the one found in Redmi Note 5 Pro?

No... Its the one used in Note 5 AI

According to

it seems to be Samsung Sensors all around

Gcam on our device (why it's so poor)

I was wondering why the development of gcam is so poor on our device? No gcam provides good results
Even more so, installing stable gcam by arnova and mhappymam patch provide really .. uh mediocre results on the front camera
Is the front camera the reason behind this? Because it's Omnivision? Although mi a1 has omnivision as as well and the front camera l, of only 5 megapixels takes superb shots!
How is this possible?

I'm talking about the Global version, by the way

Mi A1 front camera is Samsung S5K5E8 while RN5 is Omnivision OV13855.

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.

Redmi Note 5 Global vs Redmi note 5 pro

What's the basic difference between these two apart from band support.

The indian version uses Sony sensors (the sames from the Mi A2 and Redmi note 6 Pro)
The rear may actually be worse as the Sony sensor is smaller, but the front 20 MP (5, it's pixel binned) is better than the omnivision one
And even that doesn't matter much cuz you can buy the sensor replacements on AliExpress
That's it, hope i helped

Please elaborate on this matter!
I'm interested in switching to a better sensor for my Redmi Note 8T. Not happy with samsung sg1 sensor. Other version of the same phone have Sony sensors on board and some newer board versions a baetter samsung sensor, sg2.
Thanks.

I'm sorry, but there are no variations of the redmi note 8(or t), they all use the same sgm1 and the 13MP omnivision as the front sensor
Hardware mod on the redmi note 5 is only possible because all the variations use the same board, only with different sensors so they all use the same connectors and software
TLDR, this is not how it works :/

I disagree with you as I discussed with a user which have a Sony sensor and his board version is higher than mine, meaning it is newer. He sent me screenshots.
