Redmi Note 5 GLOBAL/CN gcam samples?

Hello Could someone with the global/CN version of this device (the f/1.9 aperture) post some comparison between the stock and gcam photos? I'm especiallly curious about how much it helps in low light situations. I've seen some comparison on youtube, but unfortunately the guy had Indian version of this device which has different camera.
Thank you in advance!

I would like to see this as well. Also, I wonder how google camera on Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro compares to Xiaomi Mi A2 (performance/quality-wise)

Last one is in low light, the rest it seems are better detailed in gcam, also MIUI cam has trouble with red colors. Not a very big difference, not like kenzo with gcam.

Thank you very much, but I have to disagree there with you - many of the photos look a day and night difference to me, especially the chocolate rabbit; the stock camera sample is a grainy mess while GCAM turned it into a very decent photo. The petunia photo also shows much more details on the leaves and daylily looks just gorgeous on the gcam.
Thanks again, much appreciated :good:

Glad I could be of help.
Yes the low light photo has less noise than MIUI cam, I was mostly referring to the daylight photos. I own a Redmi Note 3, compared to stock MIUI camera, gcam on redmi note 3 takes 2-3 times better photos.
On RN5 the difference isn't as big as on RN3.
Have a look at these, some of them have even better details than RN5, in low light RN5 wins though. There's no need to tell which ones are from stock camera.

Doesn`t the normal SD chipset work for everyone not on the exynos chip?
Holding my fingers crossed for a Exynos port of the Gcam for the Ultra. Even with the camera update it seriously smears the texture on photos and have had some horrible portrait photos as a result.
Most annoying part is that if you use the pro mode you get excellent results without any smeared skin tones but using the main camera set on auto without bixby scene detection and 12mp binned photos it sure looks like **** most of the time.
I think Samsung REALLY needs to improve a lot on the camera or it will be the biggest camera failure in the last 10 years....
So unless you mainly post to instagram and actually want to print pictures I suggest you use the 108mp setting and give it a quick sharpening in snapseed (or lightroom for some much needed defringing and sharpening)
So I´m holding out hope for a Gcam port for us stuck with the Exynos chipset that seems to produce slightly worse then the Snapdragon powered Ultra.
Other then that, I love the S20 Ultra and a worthy upgrade from my old S8+

I cant understand. I have oneplus 6.... crapy photie... I gave up and bought S20 Ultra... even crappier photos..... what is going on?????
With gcam one plus 6 photos almost looks great...
Should I sell S20 and buy Xiaom 10?
Hardware in S20 should be much better than in mi 10... but looks like software is crap??
Thank you for suggestions

What do you suggest?

if you can get snapdragon go for s20 if not just go for oppo xfinder x2 or mi 10 pro if camera is important for you, if you want the best camera go for p40 check dxomark.com for camera rankings although p40 have no google services but can be installed in less than 10 minutes

So for EU (Exynos) version of S20 Ultra there is no hope?

I use ZGCAM vers.917 on my EXYNOS S20 Ultra (XEF) :
-Night mode front and back
-PhotoBooth
-Photo Sphère (bugs sometimes)
-Slow Motion
-Zoom
-Video
-Google Lens
-Portrait (back and Front)
-Panorama
pictures looks better with stock in most of the cases (Night shoots) but with the correct settings i think GCAM will be much better than stock.
with the virus it's hard for me to spend a lot time outside to find the best set up but i think it's a good begining.
I can't share my pictures or setting for the moment( need 10 usefull posts before..)
let me know if you need more details

It is working!!
First app that has worked for me until now
Thank you very much
Do you know the best settings to use this cam on auto? Never worked with Gcam before

Actually, when I try night mode it shuts down the camera

Is there a good GCAM? (Snapdragon)

I just sold my Exynos Ultra. The reason was the camera which for anything that moves even a little was just not very good. ZGCAM based on GCAM version 6 worked ok ish if a little slow but of course no v7 on Exynos yet.
I have had half an eye on a snapdragon one but looking on the interweb there does not seem to be a lot of traffic relating to a GCAM. I know that the 865 is a newer chip than the Pixel which may play a part.
So is there a good GCAM on the Snapdragon? Either plus or Ultra.

GCam for S20 FE

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

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.

Actually, there is a version with all the lenses working (even the depth sensor, but just as an indipendent lens).
It should be this one: https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/dev-wichaya/
Try to tinker a little bit with the various settings, I managed to get everything working. If it crashes, just delete the app data and try again.
