What are your thoughts regarding the main rear camera on this phone? I assumed that it was worse than the camera on Mi 11 and Mi 10T Pro since the sensor is smaller in size and lacks OIS. However this youtuber claim that camera performance on 11i actually is better than on Mi 11. In the comparison below with Mi 11 Pro the difference was also smaller than I expected.
I have Mi 11i now. My first impression is that the camera is disappointing. Will probably send it back. Mi 10 and Mi 11 takes more detailed stills. But have to do some more testing.

Hi guys, regarding the main Mi11i 108MP camera, I'm curently strugling to find out a camera replacement, does anyone has an idea what model to use ? Any OEM reference ?
I have the Mi11i and the camera is great, what are u talking about? This is a budget phone, do u expect iphone 12 pro or S21+U quality?
The camera is better than these devices ive tested: S9+, OP7 Pro, A32 5G, OP 8T, OP Nord 2, Iphone 8, SE, X
Do you use the 108 mode and fiddle with settings? Or do u just use nomal mode and tap and take the photo? Thats not how u take a good photo, thats only for iphone (dumbed down os).
I find the camera fine as long as you do a little editing. Low light and night shots are a little iffy but you can still take great shots as long as you edit the photos. Photos in day light are fine. My old phone was an XS Max and the camera scores better than that in testing. Again edit the photos.
Pictures are almost the same as my mi 10. All ok.

I'm using mi 11i for 2 months and the camera quality is not good, autofocus is struggling in low light.
ofcourse it has no OIS so it ramps up ISO thus useless in low light
I have both Mi 11i och Xiaomi 11T in front of me. 11T takes much better low light shots compared to 11i despite having the same main camera sensor and Dimensity 1200 instead of SD888. Probably more optimized software on 11T.
Camera is good for me it takes good selfie and landscape shots. I was also thinking camera might be garbage and this phone can't be used for photography but I was wrong. It is not excellent nor garbage.
The Camera is good but the stock camera app is really bad, taking pictures with pro mode (manually) or with Gcam is astonishingly good.
but the main camera app over-sharpens and over processes the image resulting in noise.

About cameras, I'm disappointed by the 108 MP photos, as camera (digital) zoom is limited to x2, which is a shame in such a HiRes lens.

Huawei p10 xda page*
HDR+ can be turned on, but the photos have less range than the ones in default camera without HDR. Note that Google Camera only uses 1 of the 2 camera sensors.
I can bet u guys, Google camera in Honor 8 will perform better than stock camera. All high end, mid range, low end are the examples. You can check the comparison. I have MiA1 its stock camera is incomparable with Google camera. But someone should have to port it for @kirin_Chipsets to make it work.
Till now it is only available for Snapdragon and Exynos processors. Let's hope @Arnova8G2 will help.

Yep. Front camera is where you can notice how bad Stock camera struggles with light exposure. Whereas there's no problem on Gcam.

You've probably not configured it probably
Excuse me? I haven’t configured it proberly?
Are you kiddin me ? Sorry I expected to use a camera app as it comes for the device... my fault. You`re right Next time i’m Gonna configure it correct before using it. Didn’t expect it was windows what we were talking about.
I’m fine if you tell me this app needs a pie rom for best usage and indeed i only tried it on Miui 10 beta so far - but on miui10 it sucks. As i installed in in more than one version.
Edit:
I don`t want to miscredit the developer of the app in general. I really appriciate his work here. I would love to use it really - but cant in daily usage. thats all i wanted to say.

How to enable mirror image on gcam?
In settings the front camera says 5 megapixels and can't be changed higher than that. Are the photos in 5 megapixels or is it just a visual bug.
I googled everywhere, but can't seems to to find anything on it. Is it possible at all or not due to SoC?
I would highly doubt it, mainly because the pixel has 1 back camera and the mate has 3
Could still happen, other phones have more than one camera and have had it ported over, OnePlus 6, LG g6 etc etc but the only Thing that might be an issue it them. Phones have had snapdragon processors as opposed to Huawei Kirin.

Porting Google Camera is much easier from Snapdragon SoC to Snapdragon SoC, yet there are still issues on OnePlus phones cause of the different sensors. I'm afraid it would take someone in the knowledge and motivated to properly port GCam for Kirin, and then you have the problem of the multiple lenses, something GCam doesn't support natively. First and foremost Huawei should just significantly cut back denoising and some of the sharpening, or just offer the option. Otherwise stock camera app is well rounded (minus GCam's awesome photosphere).
Night Signt is what I am more interested in from the new Google cam.

You are absolutely right. Some tweaks from Huawei and the stock camera App is brilliant. There is no need fpr GCam on Huawei especially since Huawei started with those dedicated night modes.
The problem does not seem to be the SOC as Mate 10 pro has a perfectly usable GCam port but the P20 pro doesn't. The problem is with the IMX 600 on the P20 Pro and Mate 20 Pro as it enables pixel binding technology to capture HDR photos within the sensor itself rather than stacking different shots together. The pixel binding technology relays on the sensor to capture four pictures at once while other HDR technology only captures one photo at each shot. Oneplus uses the same technology on its secondary sensors so If there if any ports are working with the Oneplus's secondary sensor, then it might as well working on the Huawei devices. But If that's not the case, then it's not likely for us to get hands on any workable GCam shortly.
What a shame. imo the Mate 20 pro cam modules are really capable, but the software tends to screw up my images. I mean as mentioned, the sharpening, and the noise reduction is way over the top, and makes the images oilpaintings rather than actual pictures.

Also waiting for this :angel:
I tried many ports but nothing worked. Agree with Don.Chen's insight, I also found M20P compatible with some P20P's ports, but not the M10 ports. Miss GC's Portrait mode. Basically hardly any support for Kirin processors. Saw people mentioned Huawei's Camera API 2 is blocked, thus GC will not work for HDR+.
I hope some devs will turn and give it a try to mods gcam to work with our device

At least it works . And it's real 40 MP photos with zoom.
I tried one of the gcam version but it didnt work correct, so I deleted it. But i have a feeling that after that my camera doesent work so good anymore, it doesent take so good pictures anymore. Do you think that something like that is possible, or it is just my feeling? I dont have any good pictures to compare between, so it is hard to prove.
No change in terms of quality here. I guess you could do a soft reset? Has anyone found a port for wide angle support? Thanks

Asus Zenfone 6 Google Camera APK/Gcam Mod.
Anyone with Zenfone 6 please share the compatibility with Gcam 6.1 or 6.2. This phone has near stock android and Sony IMX 586 sensor so i think it will have great gcam support. I wonder if third party camera app will be able to trigger the flip camera, for example shooting selfie with the 48mp camera using gcam.

Theoretically we shouldn't be able to shoot RAW, but from the information i've gathered we can shoot raw in stock camera app. I don't know how's the situation in 3rd party apps.

Many phones also have full support instead of level 3 and gcam works fine. Including zenfone 5z.

Dunno much about this stuff but I downloaded the Camera2 API Probe app on my Xiaomi Mix 3 just to see what the results are, and they are the same as the ones in TechTablet's Zenfone 6 video. And GCam works perfectly fine on my Mix 3. So it should work on the Zenfone 6 as well. The question that remains is, will the camera flip when switching to selfie cam in GCam? I haven't seen anyone test GCam on this phone yet.

The camera on MIUI 12 has a pro mode. If you set the shutter speed (S) to max (32) and ISO to max (3200) , you can take decent picture of night sky. I think it's as better as Gcam if not more.
Hope it works.

I used to use urynx Gcam on miui11, but now on miui12, the default camera works so good that I don't use Gcam anymore. I could be wrong but last I checked Gcam still had limitation of 12MP, because pixel phones have 12MP or something.
Yet still Gcam by Urnix makes better photos cause of Google AWB and due taking many shots while in astrophotography mode. And the stars are a bit more detailed I think

These lens don't have enough light gathering abilities due their small size.
Cooling the phone down to a cooler temperature will reduce the noise floor level of the cmos sensor though.
