Can someone confirm the Rear and Front camera sensors on Indian RN4 (Snapdragon version).
I have learnt that some batches have Sony and some have Samsung sensors.
I want to know which one is better and which one my phone has. Any way to know that?
TIA.

GO TO SETTINGS, ABOUT PHONE, TAP KERNEL VERSION multiple times and it will enter CIT mode. Select software version and scroll down and look for CCM and CCM-S.
CCM is main camera - if sony it will have IMX (followed by numbers) if others it is Samsung. Mine (Redmi Note MTK) is SSK3L8 which is samsung
CCM-S is secondary camera.
But surely they would be made to the same spec regardless of manufacturer?

Should be the case but there will be small differences.

Thanks. Mine has IMX. So I think its Sony.
One minor correction - When you enter CIT mode, the option is "Version" (not software version), but I think that cosmetic difference may be only due to different SOC.
The specs should be the same with minor differences, but I have heard that Samsung sensors are better in low light and Sony is better in clarity. Dont know if thats real!

Same issue in google camera even when I set settings to high quality. It jus doesn't want to shoot a non pixelated image. Why would this be?

It's the mediatek version. ROM is 7.2.5.0. I did the antutu test and it said it was real. I bought it from the big Suning electronic store in China, from the Mi vendor. The camera goes low res as soon as you select panorama, very noticable, almost blurry.

It does exist only 2 options in this caser the device is fake or is a defective unit.Try Atutu Officer to see if pass the test.Mine is SD version 32 GB,but i dont have any problem with camra at all.You must don't have trust in chinese sellers.
Slow motion video also not good

No, it's not fake. I checked with the app. And I went to expensive SunDan centre, they do not sell fake phones, and checked the demo phone's camera - same problem! Very low res.
The rom version you described is not the rom's version. I think it is miui version.
I believe the mediatek one is 13MP compared to 16MP on the SD version, but that shouldn't be a reason for low res, I guess you could try another camera app from google play that supports panorama photo.
7.2.50 seems like an old firmware - or fake vendor/generic firmware
-
Version: V7.5.1.0.LHNCNDE (MIUI7) is the latest - but I don't see a global firmware for this device - only the chinese - which might explain why they put the generic firmware in .

Same problem
Hello, I have same problem with Google camera. I like to pick panoramas but it has very poor quality, even when I set High resolution panorama.
Panorama in default xiaomi app is good, no problem. I have Note 3 with SD/3gb/32gb.
Please, can you help me? Or do you know another app with more types of panorama like Google's one?
This post is to collect info about all the internal hardware of the phone like camera (front and rear), sensors so that we could get the drivers from other phones (if they use the same hardware and have the drivers available to use by developers).
This is just to aid the developers as it seems like Xiaomi hasn't released all the drivers. I just hope someone finds this post useful. All I'm asking you to do is post the required info by checking it in your phone:
Main Camera (model):
Main Camera ID (maker):
Sub Camera (model):
Sub Camera ID (maker):
LCD (not really necessary, can skip):
Accelerometer (model):
Magnetometer (model):
Gyroscope (model):
Light Sensor (model):
If possible, please follow the format.
How to get the info:
On MIUI:
The first five things can be checked from MIUI under Settings>About Phone>Tap "Kernel Version" multiple times to get into CIT/Engineering Mode>Device View
On Custom ROMs:
The next four things can be checked in CPU-Z under the "Sensors" tab.
It would be great if someone could tell me how to check the first five items on a custom ROM as I'm on MIUI, so that I could update the post for guys on custom ROMs.

Yellow tint will be there. That's the quality of display that xiaomi uses.

But I'm guessing that screen variations aren't going to be an issue here, the sensor variations on the other hand are an issue. Different sensors, on different android versions and some may/may not have drivers available for public use.

I'm in RR Android N version... Sensors are still buggy
I have 2 redmi note 4 one I buy in March but unfortunately its 100% damage...so I buy second redmi note 4 who comes with Samsung camera sensor...so I am not satisfied with Samsung camera sensor pictures specially when I zoom any object pictures is not good...so I open my new rn 4 and remove the camera and inserted Sony imx258 camera but when I open camera app its says error... So I inserted Samsung camera again...so I wanna know any method is possible if I root my phone and change my Samsung camera sensor to Sony.the Sony camera sensor form old rn 4 who comes with Sony.
I don't know but if I was you, I'd install the better camera sensor, then flash the latest MIUI developer ROM with MiFlash. This way probably some config or firmware file will be updated and the camera will work (maybe a simple reset could do the trick).

There is a different camera models with different connectors model 3 / 32Gb is not the same as the model with 4 / 64GB.
The connector is in fact the same visual but your contacts do not match.

Hello, I have purchased Redmi Note 4 (sd 625) India via Flipkart. The same phone is also purchased by my friend via Flipkart.
But I notice variation between my and his camera and when I dig out the problem I come to the result that both phone has different camera modules.
I've a Sony imx258 back camera but he has a Samsung S5k3l8 back camera. So, I contacted some more Redmi Note 4 users and some of them have Samsung Sensor while some have sony.
So my question is while flashing any custom ROM will my camera work or not? As I think the camera blobs for both devices are different.
Note:- To view your camera sensor just go to Settings>About Phone>tap kernel version 5 times>version information.

Camera works fine for both sensors . However, the slow motion and other feature enabling tricks work only on Sony sensor.
You got lucky. Xiaomi changed the camera sensor from first Sony to Samsung and then to Omnivision. Sony is the best, Samsung is fine and Omnivision is the worst out of this three sensors.
You shouldn't get any difference if installing a custom ROM

You're right maybe I'm extra lucky cause I ordered it in the month of July and still I get Sony IMX
My friend broke his RN4 display and he's selling the phone and when I asked him, He is willing to exchange the camera sensor(He has the sony sensor whereas I've the samsung) Can I just pop out his camera sensor and plug it in into my device or things are different on the software level too?

Technically it should work because the drivers for the 3 different modules are already installed within the ROM.
What is the product number of you and your friend's device? It should be on the box (2016101 or 2016102). And would you be able to take a picture of your friend's Sony module? A lot of people on a different thread are trying to replace their Samusng/Omnivision modules with about 50% success because we don't know the exact numbers of module code of the IMX258
Thanks in advance!

Hi All
I am planning to buy a RN4 from Flipkart.
To one of my queries in Lineage OS thread, one user responded the following:

----------------------------------------------------
I've read that the modded Google cam is the best camera for custom roms possibly even better than stock MIUI as there are settings that you can tweak to get the best possible photo quality however there is a huge catch, it doesn't work with Omnivision camera. Well technically, it still works but you don't have HDR which is pointless as the app was modded for HDR to work.
There is a huge chance that you'll get Omnivision if you buy brand new as newer note 4x batches no longer comes with Sony or Samsung camera. Hopefully the October 6 camera commit by highwaystar on Lineage fixes this.
Yes, you can flash MIUI camera ported from MI A1 but HDR and few other features does not work and yes there is camera quality degradation which is very common on non-nexus/pixel devices as there are proprietary libs/drivers that's closed source.
---------------------------------------------------
People who bought RN4 recently from Flipkart, please help me make an informed decision by mentioning what camera sensro you got?
Sony / Samsung or omnivision?
