portrait mod- stage lightening - Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion

Hi , I was wondering if there is any app for samsung note 8 that can produce the same effect as "stage lightening" feature found in iphone 8+.
As far as hardware is concerned I think note 8 can do what iphone 8+ can do.

Camera vs redmi note 2

Hello. I currently have redmi note 2 and I want to sell it to buy redmi note 3 SD. But I heard so many bad things about it's camera. I want to know if its quality is worse than redmi note 2. And if yes, how much.
Thanks.
Between Rn3 and Redmi 2 (not note), I feel Redmi 2 camera is better.

Honest opinion bro..
Dont buy, because redmi note 2 is also a good device. ( same camera result and day to day activities).
If you want to go for higher model (20000rs) ,then its good to sell.
But its not wise choice to change RN2 to RN3.
Better you wait more 6 months, and you will have many new options.
Take note that I love RN3, but i gave my opinion as you asked.
Thanks for answers. I'm just sick of mediatek! That's why I wanted to buy RN3 but I might wait...
Hey bro you are not right.redmi note 3 have 16 megapixel back camera while redmi note 2 have only 8 megapixel rear camera so the difference is that redmi note 3 camera quality is awesome than redmi note 2 and yaa also RN3 has finger print sensor ,it is slim,metal body and man believe man it's 4000mah battery life is amazing.
I made the same upgrade you want to do: redmi note 2 since September 2015... Redmi note 3 Snapdragon since March 2016.
My answer to you is a question: are you satisfied with Redmi Note 2 battery life?
If yes, then don't sell your phone. The upgrade is not in the camera department.
(imho both cameras are disappointing, same level... very low level... like a "good" 8 Megapixel can beat either Redmi Note 2 and RN3 SD)
If you want more battery life, then go buy the Redmi Note 3 Pro. The upgrade is incredible.
Same use (almost all 3G, 5% of the time in Wifi) with Note 2 It was very hard to reach 4 hours of SOT. With RN3 Pro I get 8 hours very easy, and sometimes even 9-10 hours of SOT.
So, no: for the camera performance it's not worth it. But for the rest, it is.
tq for those review, yep i think want to upgrade reno2 to reno3pro,
Reason want buy reno3pro 1st : battery life so tired, 2nd : feel mediatek version not getting marshmallow, looks like getting old android later, miui8 = 5.0.1 lolipop? huh..
3rd : fingerprint, 4th : Battery 4000Mah, 5th : looks like in cm got cm13 (marshmallow, With it not in reno2)
I wanted to upgrade because of
1. Battery
2. Metal body
3. Fingerprint scanner
4. Newer Android version and more custom roms
5. Mediatek cpu and powervr gpu had some compatibility issues.
If the camera is same level, so I'm OK with it. Thanks for replies.
here is a picture I took on the kenzo

Honestly I believe RN3pro camera is better. I have seen people complain about camera quality. If you really want good camera performance, use those camera apps that provides lots of manual settings. The default auto values in stock camera app are just meant for basic tasks. So for better picture quality, all you need to do is adjust the setting as per the surrounding. Set desired exposure levels, brightness, sharpness and so on...
Believe me, you will see a dramatic change in your photography.
In Well Lit conditions Camera Quality is great, Low light it struggles, RN3 uses Samsung s5k3p3 Image sensor which is good definitely better camera than Note 2,some pics took by me..

Samsung Galaxy 8+ or the Honor 9 (Question)

I have been reviewing the information about the Honor 9. Honestly, this is the first time I ever heard of the phone, but that is a different topic.
The question I want to know is that I recently purchased the Galaxy S8+ and wish to know if anybody did a comparison?
I have seen the videos but it still lacks substance.
For example, I understand that the Honor 9 is better suited for memory and gaming due to its GPU and increased memory. Is that the only real good thing about it?
Galaxy 8+ (for me, i don't have honor 9), seems to look brighter and sharper when it comes to the display. The edge feature is just a cool design but not a selling point.
Is the Honor 9 considered a gaming phone?
What would be the Pros and Cons if you was to make a purchase? I know the price tag is already a Pro for the Honor 9 (300-400, right)?
thanks, XDA.
In terms of performance the Honor 9 does best the SGS8+ just by a slight margin depending on what version of the SGS8+ you are planning on getting. However the SGS8+ does have a much better display than the Honor 9. Also it has a much better VR experience due to the better display than the Honor 9. However if you aren't interested in VR then the Honor 9 is a excellent purchase.
In terms of everything, the galaxy s8+ is better.
But for value/specs, honor 9 is better

1. Honor 9 is best for all around usage.
2. Yeah Galaxy S8+ screen is way better than Honor 9.
3. S8+ is waterproof, Honor 9 is not.
4. S8+ has a more durable build.

Everything i can tolerate other than color OS ?....will go for Redmi Note 5 pro,thanks for support
Used note 5 pro for 2 months and using realme 1 from last 2 weeks. I will suggest u to go with note 5 pro.
Choose realme coz of comfortable grip in hand, lightweight and attractive design.
Note 5 pro is good in battery backup, camera (realme is no where close. Relame has artificial type camera. Over exposed pictures whereas note 5 pro have wayyyyy better and near to real output), software (miui is better and u can have root access too) and overall good too coz its Snapdragon processor and gives better support. Though buying a note 5 pro can be the biggest issue (flash sales ?)

Note 8 or S9 Plus for VR?

Which device do you recommend I use for VR. I own both devices which are the Note 8 and S9 Plus. Reason I'm asking is that the Note 8 has a bigger display (possibly better immersion) but the S9+ has better internal specs. Whats your opinion?
Thanks

Poco F1 or Redmi ?

I know, on paper, its no contest, But I am trying to decide between Redmi Note 8 and Poco F1. The difference between them is only £40
These are the important factors for me, the first 4 are must haves.
Good Battery life
Good Custom ROM support (now and future)
Headphone socket
SD Card
Notification LED
Reasonable Screen
Reasonable performance, (no gaming and was content with Redmi 5 Pro 4Gb Snapdrgon 636 until it broke)
I know the Poco F1 is much higher spec, but I dont really like the look (ugly cut out at the top and big bezel at the bottom). Plus because Redmi 8 is newer, I thought maybe better support for custom roms, in the future.
What do you think ?
I just bought my mum a Redmi note 8. Gotta say, it's a really nice phone for the price. She loves it
The F1 beats it pretty much all round though - note 8 has (arguably) slightly better battery life, the ir blaster is a nice gimmick and you can get an NFC version of the note 8 (a feature which I really miss), though that one doesn't have a notification light
I'd suggest you wait a couple of months for the note 9, but I suspect you'd still be better getting an F1!
The Poco F1 wins on nearly every spec. CPU,Graphics, BT, Memory, etc. The only problem with it, is that huge notch, large chin and bezels scream 2018 (in my mind).
Thanks for letting me know about the Redmi Note 9, seems like its imminent
My fear is that all Redmi phones will follow the Redmit 8 pro and have a mediatek chipset, rumoured below. That will kill chance of custom roms,. noones interested developing for Mediatek,

That's true, that the note 8 pro has a mediatek soc, but it's supposed to be very good. If rooting is your thing (used to be mine but I just don't have time these days - plus I can live with MIUI on my f1)
Still it will be outperformed by the F1, plus the RN 8pro will likely cost a good bit more than the F1
The F1 is not likely to get more first party firmware upgrades though. If rooting is your thing, get an f1 and have fun for as long as the battery lasts (the specs should hold up for 3 or 4 years)
Or save up and get the F2 when it launches (assuming it's not a turkey)
I usually always go for function over looks. Just abit background, it was my Redmi Note 5 pro *(Whyred) which recently died on me. Its a 636 Chipset and had 4Gb of RAM. And for me, I had zero performance issues with it for 18 months. I guess I am a light user. Thats why, on balance the Redmi 8 might be better for me (looks etc).
Just a quick one, no definites of course, but the Redmi note 9 seems imminent ? i.e March ish ?
I do get what you are saying about custom roms and time. However, I dont mind,

Poco X2 would be a great choice for you.:good:
Redmi note8 pro is on MediaTek Gaming chip! with more Ram,
both are on LCD
however poco has advantage of many Custom roms! kernels etc where i don't think with note 8 pro you will enjoy this !
check xda forums for note 8 pro for custom roms and kernel status!
Kcal is must on lcd to to fix color saturation!
