all the versions used the same camera.The front shooter is amazing...

Just did a photoshooting with this device... wonderful even the zoom works
Coming from a Redmi Note 3 this is a huge upgrade, also better then Honor 6,One Plus,Iphone 6 camera
zoomed to 5 x before taking the picture.

@Supertitan, that looks real good. The comparisons I've seen so far made me doubt a purchase though... Currently running a Nexus 6p so I'm afraid it will be a downgrade, pure on specs of the sensor that could be the case.
P.S. grey cars sure seem to be hot over there

I dont know what you mean ? okay Nexus has the first grade software support from google, but Snapdragon 810 vs. 820 no comparison here.
Also the Charger (measured) pumps out with 2,27 Amp. on Xiaomi device which is top level on Charging.

I only meant picture quality, not the specs of the chipset etcetera, obviously the Mi5 zooms past the N6P on that front. I will await more photo comparisons, Xiaomi markets heavily with the quality of the Mi5 camera so hopefully it does not disappoint.

This was taken with the Fish Eye mode, otherwise it wasnt possible to catch the Details.

Two More Pictures, this time in Airport:

Uploaded few more to the Google Photos... only issue is in the dark, otherwise best camera phone that i had.

Initial shots with my recently arrived Mi5

Mi5 and Huawei Mate 8 both have IMX298.
Mi5 has more same, but better camera app - more usability and better a picture shots.
Hope huawei fix it

Thanks! I can't see much difference, how do you think about the camera quality on both roms?

The quality is so close now so...for me there is no reason to use MIUI.

Xiaomi Mi5: Reviews, Info, Benchmarks, Discussion

Hi Everyone! In this thread I'll try to gather information related to Xiaomi Mi5 phone.
Before we start, let's review the specs of Mi 5 in brief:
- Snapdragon 820, up to *4GB RAM + 128GB UFS 2.0 (*For Mi 5 PRO ONLY)
- 600Mbps 4G+ download speeds, VoLTE
- 3D *ceramic/glass body, weighs 129g (*Ceramic body for Mi 5 PRO ONLY)
- 5.15” 16 LED light display, 3D ceramic/glass body
- Front fingerprint sensor
- 16MP 4-axis OIS + 2µm-pixel 4MP camera
- 3000mAh battery, Quick Charge 3.0
- Full feature NFC
- MIUI based on Android M
- Available in Gold, White, Black (*Mi 5 PRO only in BLACK)
Display
The Mi5 comes with a 5.2-inch display that the company says is extraordinarily vibrant. It has used special technology to increase the contrast and vibrancy. The brightness of the phone is 600 nits, which is about 70% more than most phones. The display uses special sunlight detection technology that automatically enhances the colors when it senses outdoor conditions.
Design
The Mi5’s design is a continuation of the subdued aesthetics of Mi Note. “It was only natural to inherit all the beauty. The phone is built with high-grade Zirconia ceramic material at the back. The material scores about 8 out of 10 in hardness, double the score of steel. Ceramic is about 75% more expensive than even high-grade glass, Barra said, and has been manufactured in a 16-step process.
Camera
The camera has a more advanced optical image stabilization, which negates not just static shake, but also transverse movement, which results in better quality photos in high-zoom situations.The company showed the 4D OIS in action by comparing the picture of a shaking Mi5 with an iPhone 6S.The sensor is Sony IMX298 with 16 MP resolution and PDAF support and deep trench iteration. The model is one of the first to get the IMX298 sensor. The front camera includes a 4 MP sensor with 2µm-pixel.

4 000 000 Mi5's sold and no reviews.. Rather strange.
China websites and their video platforms (not youtube) are full of evaluations and they are pretty enthusiastic

And the translation of 2nd one LOL
Can you do a gaming review?
I have not seen any gaming review yet. Thanks.
Cannot wait for it to be released in India.
They also tested gaming. Snapdragon 820 is a beast for gaming ! Maximum temperature in gaming is about 39°C in a particular zone of the back of the phone.
Here it is another very deep video review and comparison with Note 5 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fc1e3YAa-pM

Unlocked bootloader?
Bootloaders will be locked. You need to go through unlocking it on the Xiaomi bootloader unlock site to so so. They will give you instructions after a few days.

I unlocked my redmi note 3 before I got my mi5 and it took a matter of days...

Buying Redmi Note 3 Pro 3/32gb today

Hello, today, or maybe tomorrow, I'm buying the RMN3 Pro 3/32gb, and I have a few questions so I know what to do when I get it( btw I'm getting it for 150 euros, used in perfect condition with warranty till the end of 2017). I've seen there is official Lineage OS? Does it have some bugs? Is it better than MIUI? And then here goes all the other questions, how is the battery on both roms, performance, camera... Is the speaker tiny like on the Redmi Note 2? I've had the RMN2 Prime, and it served me well... Thank you in advance and have a good day!
Great phone with good performances (78000 in AnTuTu), very fast : open apps in second ! The camera is not the best but it is enough and for the battery I get about 6/7 hours with normal use (some games, facebook, etc ..)
BUT
The rom MIUI is bad and will undoubtedly remain under android 6.0 .1 and contains a lot of bugs which will take a long time to be corrected, for custom roms I invite you to look in the ROM (Snapdragon) section of the forum. But overall they are all very good.
Hope it help
Probably don't even think of staying in MIUI when you have Lineage.
In all performance aspects its better. Along with lineage you can also install radon kernel and sound mods and you will make it a beast.
Bdw i got 87k antutu score with radon and battery is probably sweet.

150eur used kind of sounds like a lot, doesn't it?
In india redmi note 3 pro was officially around 140 euro. Brand new. . btw phone is a beast. Just camera is not good. Other thn that battery, performance, build quality, speaker everything is best . an custom rom development of this device is among best on xda.
Hope this helps
Thank you all! I'm definetly switching to LOS, and yes 155e is a bit too much, but here where I live (Serbia) it costs more because the only way to get it is to order it from China, and that's why the prices here are outrages! Oh yeah! How do I find out if my bootloader is locked or unlocked? I think I will have a hard time unlocking it, because my PC is dead anyways, I got the phone, and by far it's the fastest one I ever had... I had the Huawei P9 Lite, LG G Flex 2, Galaxy Note 4 and nothing comes close to RMN3's speed, camera is okay, but the battery is so damn good...
Redmi Note 3 is very powerful device no doubt about it, my phone scores 89000 antutu score in this rom-- https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-3/development/rom-t3612905 But this phone was launched in 2015 you should buy a newer phone.
Wait till snapdragon 660 hits the market, it will take a month at most. It is built on a 14-nanometer process and has custom kryo cores used in snapdragon 820.

Well yeah I probably should, but I had 160 euros, and this phone was the best for the price... Other options were Samsung Galaxy S5, Nexus 5, iPhone 5s, LG G3 and a few other really crappy phones... I think I didn't make a mistake when buying this phone
everything is great about rn3 except it's ****ty camera...
go for a device with amoled display and good camera.

The object recognition feature debuted in mate 10, which should be together with emui 8, would be amazing if honor 8 already gets it.

That's where your wrong, the Honor 8 China version already have that feature, and that's why I'm looking in to what more models that have the Object Recognition mode.

We test out the Honor 9’s dual-lens camera, comparing it to the mobile shooter found on its predecessors, the Honor 8 and Honor 8 Pro. Here’s our full Honor 9 camera review, including an in-depth look at the camera features, photo and video quality.
The Honor 9 officially launched this week and we’ve already had a chance to test out one of the most important bits. Namely, the camera tech housed on that compact, glossy frame.
Like many other Honor phones, the Honor 9’s main camera uses two lenses at the same time to shoot sharp, detail-packed photos. One of these is a 20-megapixel monochrome lens, while the other is a 12-megapixel RGB lens which does a fine job of capturing any colour in your environment.
Huawei has, of course, stuffed plenty of camera features into the Honor 9 as well, just like its other Honor handsets. We’ll discuss these shortly.

[8/11/2018] Good news! I can confirm that Camera libraries have been updated and also Night mode added from Global Beta 8.11.7 (960 fps slo-mo not added though)
Update- Confirmed again by Donovan Sung's post.
Recent update from Lei Jun says that the camera Algorithms and software upgrades in the Mix 3 will be ported to Mi8 and Mix 2S as well, since they all sport the same camera hardware.
Lets wait and hope it's coming soon!:angel:
That's nice
Great news

super !
Thats is "Xiaomi" the best for all user not like a other companys.... damn im very happy
Thats the minimum, that they improve camera quality.
Confirmed officially in here:
https://www.androidauthority.com/mi-8-mi-mix-2s-camera-update-919335/
It would be really interesting if they'll add the 4k 60fps video recording and the super slowmotion 960fps

Yes! Im waiting for that as well
Great News, but unfortunately i cannot trust xiaomi developers !!
Hope to get it soon.
Hope that the global version will get this update too!
Tbh, I just hope B-S-G can make a Night mode feature like the Pixel for the Google Camera apk xD, I don't care too much for this stock camera, although at least 4k60 fps would be a nice addition that they should put from the get-go though
Would be nice to see it in poco aswell since it uses same primary sensor too
Superb! Can't wait to see it coming to Xiaomi EU ROM!

Question Poco M4 Pro Camera Specs look like incorrect

Recently I get my self a new POCO M4 Pro and I use this app call AIDA64 to check the specs
As per advertise, front camera is 65MP and front facing camera is 16MP
Yet from AIDA 64, I can see the front camera shows 16MP and front facing camera shows 4MP
I wonder am I reading it correctly?
Seeking for your valuable opinion & guidance.

Tested on my Xiaomi 12 pro, everything is wrong regarding the camera.
AIDA64 is quite a broad brush tool supporting many different types of device, and as such it does make mistakes. The most striking example of this that I've seen is the app detecting a camera in an Android TV that doesn't have one. You can report mistakes through the app and the developers will check and correct them.
is there any alternative app like AIDA64 that allow me to check the device?

Please read this:
If the number of megapixels indicated is wrong, it means that the manufacturer of your device has restricted access to the camera for third-party applications. Likewise, even if your device has multiple cameras on one side, Android OS identifies them as a single camera for that side.

To expand on NOSS8's answer, no there isn't. Are you concerned that you have a counterfeit device or that Poco are lying to you? If it's the former, there are surely easier ways to determine that, and if the latter then you'll probably have to meticulously disassemble your phone.

I bought from official store, as far I check the Imei no at mi.com, it is a genuine product.
I believe is not counterfeit device.
I also tested my previous phone, Redmi Note 8, and the camera shows at AIDA64 is exact Megapixel per actual specs. as well as checking my last 2 phone, Huawei P10 lite, as accurate per actual specs.
I just curious why Poco M4 Pro Camera specs as above screen shot, not as accurate as actual specs.
