Mi 9 receive software updates to change default video setting - Xiaomi Mi 9 Guides, News, & Discussion

Mi 9 tested by DxOMark records 4K video by default. It scores significantly higher for video texture and detail than other smartphones whose video quality is tested in 1080P . As a result, Mi 9 gets the highest score in the video part. Today the retail unit of Mi 9 receives software updates to change default video recording setting from 1080P to 4K.

Xiaomi cheats in the DxOMark video test for Mi 9. Dxomark only test the default setting of smartphone cameras. And the phone tested by DxOMark records 4K video by default. However, the phone sold to consumers records 1080P video by default. Because of this, it scores significantly higher for video texture and detail than other smartphones. As a result, Mi 9 gets the highest score in the video part. A vlogger in China went to Xiaomi store to check the default video recording setting for Mi 9. It showed clearly that the default setting is 1080p instead of 4k.

Quote from article:- "In terms of video, (slow motion at 960fps available) the Mi 9 manages to surprise - the default recording in 4K produces great details even when shooting indoors."
I can only speak, based on what I have read, until I see evidence that states otherwise, I choose to believe Xiaomi & the reviewers, I understand I may be proven wrong...

Tgey still are people which trust DxO?

The camera seems to be still on par even with the S10 or the iPhone XR - for half the price, we shouldn't forget that.

Video quality

Your friends are never going to believe what you did. The only way to prove it to them is with that video you took. Rate this thread to express how videos shot on the Xiaomi Mi A2 come out. A higher rating indicates that videos are smooth (and not choppy) and that auto-focus works very well, and that the camera adjusts quickly to different lighting conditions while recording.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
The 4K video looks good, but the catch is there is no EIS support for it.
Even though 1080p/60 or 1080p/30 do support EIS, the video quality is not as good (and looks unrealistic) as recording in 4K.
There are two samples over at GSMArena Mi A2's review, watch two of them in 1080p and you can see the clear difference.
This also happened in Mi A1, which is quite surprising. But it does not happened in other Xiaomi phone like Pocophone F1 and Mi 8.
Tried increasing the bitrate of 1080p video to 40Mbps but no clear result.
You can stabilize the 4K video using the Google Photos app so it's no biggie
If you are on stock rom without root or somekind mod like camera2 api, you can use Open Camera to enable 4K EIS and it is fantastic. Here is sample from youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RZXy5sdevXE
If you have enabled camera2 api to use google camera port, than you lose 4k video recording option i open camera, and you need to use Snap Camera.
So you can have 4K eis, and it is working really good, do not need to use google photos stabilization because it produces wobbly picture sometimes. Even better use eis and than apply google photos stabilization after for rock steady video
Is it only me or it's common - when record the video, it's not as wide as when making photo. The ratio is the same BTW.

Yes, this is the case.
As you know, Mi A2 doesn't offer Optical Image Stabilization, but just Electronic Image Stabilization/ EIS.
The concept of EIS revolves around stabilizing by using the cropped out parts as buffers so that the visible window is less prone to shake. However, if the pixels themselves are blurred, EIS can not do a lot. This is why EIS is bad at low light conditions.

Hello,
what format of video recording do you prefer ? UHD 60FPS are cool, but video has no stabilization and videos are too big.
Is it chance in future there will be QHD (2K) with 60FPS ? Not only 30FPS

Most likely it can be achieved via root and custom ROM on the exynos. The exynos 9810 have higher capabilities regarding that part compared to the sd845 so it can achieve higher FPS, but samsung can't release it officially as it will make the two variants different. The exynos note 8 for example has already unlock for 4к@60fps while stock is up to [email protected], all because the snapdragon 835 doesn't support 60fps on that resolution while the exynos does. Same is for our phone, the exynos has better capabilities in encoding video.
And:
what type of video recording do you prefer ? and why ? thanks
30 fps on android has better details, dont need to use 4k60 unless you pan a lot or shoot sports, zoom is also mediocre on 60fps

[Discussion] Differences between Mi 9 SE and Mi 9T

I'm going to show the common strength and weaknesses of these two, and help you decide which is best for you.
So let's start with similarities :
- USB Type C 2.0
- OLED screen
- HDR10 compatible
- In-screen FP scanner
- Wide, ultrawide, and telephoto lens (48, 13, 8mp)
- Front and back glass design
- Same band compatibilities
- Widevine L1 (global)
- UFS 2.1 Storage
- NFC
- Google Pay
- Fast charge capable
- Bluetooth 5.0
etc. etc.
Now the differences (I'm going to try to make it as short as possible) :
Mi 9T - , Mi 9 SE -
1- 6.39" screen , 5.97" screen
2- Amoled screen , Samsung Amoled screen
3- 4000mah battery , 3070mah battery
4- Sony IMX582 sensor , Sony IMX586 sensor
5- 4K30 with EIS , 4K30 without EIS
6- 1080p up to 960fps , 1080p up to 120fps
7- f/2.2 front camera , f/2.0 front camera
8- Pop-up camera , Dot notch camera/display
9- No support for PD fast charging , Supports PD fast charging
10- Less sensors , More sensors
11- SD 730 , SD 712
12- 8nm processor , 10nm processor
13- 3.5mm jack , no 3.5 jack
Description :
1, 5, 8, 11, 13 are self-explanatory.
2. The Mi 9 SE has a better display than the Mi 9T. It's probably an in-house made Xiaomi amoled screen on the 9T. Therefore, the SE should have better colours and contrast.
3. Despite the 9T having a bigger battery, the SE seems to be able to keep up with the 9T in a few testings on Youtube, maybe the SE will average few hours less than the 9T. So the battery shouldn't be a huge deal, unless you're a heavy gamer go for the 9T.
4. From my research, the 582 can only be recorded up to 4K30, that's all I could fine. However, I've seen a few videos showing a slightly softer image in detail compared to the 586. This is more noticeable in low light, but different image processing could have a play in this scenario.
6. I have no idea why the 9T can record 960fps at 1080p. The SD 730 on Qualcomm's site states that it can record up to 120fps at 1080p and 240fps at 720p (no information about the SD 712). So I don't see why the SE wouldn't be able to record 1080p960.
7. In theory, the SE should produce better selfies than the 9T, especially at low light, but image processing plays a major role here.
9. It's hard for me to explain, just google it XD
10. The SE has more sensors than the 9T for navigation and whatnot. FYI, the SE has an IR blaster where the 9T lacks.
12. A lower nm process results in better performance and better battery life. So the 9T has a lower battery consumption than the SE.
Research is all done by me. Information that I've gathered are from the following sites :
mi.com/global (for spec comparison)
youtube.com (camera and image performance, battery performance)
qualcomm.com (processor specs)
google.com (for definitions and explanations)

Last week I watched a H265 4K MKV movie on the MI9T. So H265 is definitely supported.

And we can record video with this H265 So ... ;D
The screen of the mi 9t is actually Super Amoled. Screenshot from Aida i.imgur.com/RqSoc0j

The thing is that Xiaomi uses two displays, one it's a Super Amoled, the other one it's Amoled. You can see on this page:
https://www.mi.com/es/mi-9-t/specs/
One it's the same as Mi 9, Mix 3, 9 Se, etc.
The other who knows. So I think that maybe it's the reason that it's not listed as super Amoled, you might get the other one.

H265 playback on the 9T it's available.

Thanks for the feedbacks, sometimes xiaomi doesn't list the full specs for some reason. And about the AMOLED screens, I personally think the one in the 9T is not a Samsung one, it was probably a cheaper AMOLED screen for xiaomi to put in the phone, I could be wrong though.

Hmm, maybe you should read this. It's the same I just said, but better explained.

Tl;dr: they are using both, as the site lists two screens.
Xiaomi mi9t, has better screen then mi9, more bright on sunlight, that was confirmed on some reviews

Difference quality between same sensor.Mi A3 and Mi9T has same sensor but quality?

Hi guys. I've been looking at phones for a while. Cause I needed a new phone.
Mi A3 is my first priority. Mi A3 has a 48mp sony imx586 sensor on main camera.
Xiaomi mi9t has almost the same sensor too (imx582 (only difference is 4k fps rating) )
I examined and compared the camera of mi a3 and mi9t. and some other phones which has imx586 or imx582 sensor. I see an obvious difference quality. What could be the reason of this difference and can i do something for improve MI A3 camera quality as good as MI9T?
And there is an other difference too. Slow motion recording. Mia3 can record 240fps video at 720p and Mi9T can record 960fps video at 720p and 1080p. why this difference stems.
After all if I used wrong words for this thread I am sorry for my English.
Mi 9t front camera is awful.
586 and 582 are same sensors, 582 just has better videos features. As far as camera quality goes mi9t has sd 730 and mia3 has sd 665, there is a image processor in mobile soc's and the one on sd 730 is better, means it will process the images better. Although the main thing that differs in photos in colors and dynamic range which is highly controlled by software so as mi9t is expensive its software processing is better but better software processing can also be achieved on mi a3 by installing google camera, as of now we don't have any mia3 specific google cam but soon we will get it hopefully.

okay I get it. This is because of proccessor. Does this mean that google camera is more stable than stock camera as processing photos? Because result photos are better than stock camera.

Audio bitrate

Sorry for the English with errors, I'm using a translator.
I would like to solve a question about the specifications of the camera of Xiaomi Mi 10 PRO. I am interested in purchasing this model.
My question is regarding the audio bitrate when making video recordings.
When researching various models, they all worked at 92 kbps.
I searched on several sites, but only one YouTube video even commented that the Mi 10 PRO had a 320 kbps bitrate.
I would like to resolve this doubt, as I already have a Xiaomi Mi5, which I purchased right after the launch (I used the Miui 7 and 8 China) and it worked with 92 kbps.
When I needed to film a music event with the Mi5, only my smartphone presented serious audio problems (hissing, popping, etc., where it was not even possible to hear the singers). My friends who used other smartphones (Samsung, Apple and Huawei) did not have these problems. My recording was lost.
I currently have a Huawei P10 and it did not present this type of problems. When checking the bitrate, it uses 192 kbps.
As I am about to change smartphones, I would like you to answer this question, as I really like Xiaomi smartphones, I like MIUI features, but I would not like to have to dispose of a smartphone again because of the audio...
If possible, what would be the audio bitrates when recording in FullHD 30/60 fps, 4K and other resolutions?
They increased the audio bitrate to 320 kbps.
I own a Mi 10 and can confirm it.
:good:
They switch for the first time to 320
Thanks for the return.
Does this setting work on recordings of all resolutions? I usually use FullHD at 60 fps.
In very noisy places, like concerts or stadiums, for example, is the audio good? I ask about the microphone (hardware)
