Info gathering about the internal hardware of Redmi 3S, X & Prime - Xiaomi Redmi 3s Guides, News, & Discussion

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.

Is this what you seek?

Do you have a yellow tint on your screen?

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.

Rear and Front camera sensors on Indian RN4 (SD version)

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!

There is no other version. Every RN4 has Tianma.

They said before they are having multiple vendors for display , so they can't put display specifications on website.
Display vendors
I've heard both tianma and boe mentioned.
Tianma is better than boe in colours
How do you access that settings? I wanted to see mine.

Which camera sensor are the new lots of RN4 shipping with in India?

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?

Regarding FP Sensor I got confused. Goodix has issues with some roms right? or is it FPC?

If you are talking about miui 9, nope it doesn't have that (atleast for me), but the major difference between redmi 4x and redmi note 4x is the processor, like if you gonna take the redmi 4x you gonna get Snapdragon 435 instead of the Snapdragon 625 in Redmi note 4x

Thanks. Although in hindsight, I don't think I will purchase this phone because it is too big for one-handed use. I purchased Xiaomi Redmi Note 8 Pro and had the same problem. I prefer smaller devices.
I just updated (latest, android 11, UI realme 2) and phone is now.. well the screen just flashes (on&off every ms) with the UNLOCKED icon on screen. No touch response. Any tips?
Phone is not rooted or tinkered with.
