Hey there,
I've been using my redmi note 5 pro for more than a week now, and straight up the camera packed on this thing is really good. But for a tech YouTube like me, who compares this phones with the top flagship devices, the results are inconsistent.
First off I compared it with iPhone X, and was shocked with the results. The redmi note 5 pro performed so much better than the iPhone X. Now some people may say that comparing the two is not fair as there is a humongous price difference between the two. But xiaomi itself said that the phone was a natural competitor with phones like iPhone X and Google Pixel 2.
SO I HAD TO COMPARE IT WITH GOOGLE PIXEL 2 XL. But the results weren't so good. When compared to pixel's images, note 5 pro's images look washed out and soft. But it didn't lack completely back, as note 5 packing a bigger aperture did a little better than pixel 2 in low light situations, but again the results were pretty inconsistent. So at the end of the day no one can match Google's amazing algorithms of HDR+.
But I think if someone can port the Google camera in note 5 pro it will perform so much better as these two device pack almost identical camera hardware.
I'm not sure if camera 2 api is fully unlocked in this phone, can somebody please tell me how to do it. Do I just need to download the Google camera apk from the internet? I'm really curious to see how the redmi note 5 pro will perform with Google camera's algorithms.
Peace
You need to unlock your bootloader first and than flash twrp and magisk and than you can enable camera api 2 by editing Build.prop

Pixel has a bigger aperture, also with a larger pixel size than the note 5 pro... low light won't be better on the note 5 pro.
I rooted, enabled camera 2 api, installed google camera....but Google camera images had a lot of noise compared to stock camera(you can see noise on zooming into the pic)

Google cam cant make RN5Pro images better. No google phone has dual cameras so Gcam will always use single lens to capture images

Our phone is also using single lens to capture images except portrait
120 fps video recording
the soc snapdragon 636 can have the feature of 1080p recording at a frame rate of 120fps, so can we able to record this on redmi note 5 pro using any third party app by rooting?

yeah on redmi note 3
perhaps it is necessary to install modified driver for the camera. (if this exists).
in youtube i saw a video that teached where find and install the driver, then install google camera on a note 4.
the difference in the photo (with original driver and with modified driver + google camera) was remarkable.

The second camera in rn5p is a depth sensor! So the primary lens does all the work and gcam will only use the primary lens ! So why wont it make the images better.
Though for A1 both lens Gcam has been ported at it works great!!!

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

Weird question to place here ... but @steadfasterX has a OnePlus 6T ...
I am buying a OnePlus 6T or 7 Pro. It is not about the price tag, it is about the camera.
You all know the qualities of our G4's camera. It is the reason I found interest in photography.
Its main feature is the simpleness! Take the LG stock camera app. Or ProShot (*yuks*). It makes photos, it does not have filters and AI guessing what you are shooting, or software-augmented portrait modes with fake bokeh.
Whatever comes out as a JPG is as beautiful as the human eye can see. Sometimes I have to edit the DNGs for minor details, for zoom+focus-aid etc.
The controls are simple and manual mode is supported in any app with Camera2 API.
From that point: shooting with the LG G4 indeed is a bit like shooting with a DSLR/DSLM.
But will I get the best manual mode/no filter/AI depending results with more with the OnePlus 6T or more with the OnePlus 7 Pro?

Hi,
I am going to buy S20 FE Exynos version (only Exynos version is available in India).
Though I know the Samsung's stock camera works best, I absolutely in love with GCAM.
If someone knows where should we find the latest Gcam version for Exynos. It would be a great help for all of the Exynos owners.
Waiting to listen from any of you.....!!
I've only seen gcam for the snapdragon. None for Exynos

Here is a link that has many gcam variations. I have tried several, but none of them seem to support the telephoto correctly. In the ones that provide options for aux cameras, the tele button actually loads to the wide angle camera instead of zoom.

I've had the best success with Urnyx and Arnova with the former being the better. Some of the other ones that I've tried force close.

The Urnyx05 7.2 GCam is the only stable one for me.
EDIT: on S20 FE 5G with SD865. Only working sensor is the main, but it's stable.
Installed "GCam 7.4 for Galaxy S20 FE 5G (Exynos)
GCam 7.4 by Zoran –"
Works good on exynos non 5g version. Night mode is way better and faster on gcam!
Try zgcam

I just found out how to enable the other lenses and tested them. Enabling the aux lenses WILL crash the app and you have to Clear Data to get it back. Otherwise, normal lens, portrait, night sight, astro, front camera, video, optical video stabilization, all work and is stable.

Make sure to use the 6.1 version instead of the 7.1 version. It works much better and has better photo quality. Doesn't support ultrawide/telephoto but good for daylight/lowlight photos and especially good for portraits. Wouldn't recommend video recording or anything else. For night-mode you can just use the stock camera which will do a decent job.
I just tested and seems like ultra wide, main, and selfie all work including in RAW (although ultra wide is mapped to 2x). Tele crashes, which is unfortunate since that's the one I want

Which version?

Urnyx's 7.3 v2.2.
For some reason it saves the ultra-wide raw but Lightroom fails to import. Front camera is all good though.
Has anyone gotten Astrophotography to actually work?
S20 FE Snapdragon using Urnyx05 version 2.4 (tried a few other versions also). Night Sight works, but Astro never kicks in, with phone completely still in the dark. I see it says some devices will not show the Astro tag, but I never get a long exposure as expected.
Also I do not have the settings under 'advanced' that seem to be needed to enable it (Astro) have tried a few diff .xml files but none seem to change anything.
Curious to know what .xml or .apk anyone is using that actually has Astrophotography working.
Thanks.
Any updates? How usable is the GCam port on the S20 FE? Also do selfie photos even work? I read that Samsung "blocked" GCam port apps from taking photos with the front-facing camera.
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.

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.
