Going from an HTC U11 to an LG V40, I've learned that the V40's camera uses pixel binning heavily. When I compare dim light shots with my HTC U11, I notice that detail on the V40 is compromised. Details of objects are far sharper on my U11 than my V40 when cropped. 2 questions:
1) Is there a mode in the stock camera that minimizes or eliminates pixel binning?
2) Is there a gcam port that minimizes or eliminates pixel binning?

Hello
I have been reading different articles and reviews about the P10 since i'm considering buying it. For instance i read a comparison between the P10 and a iPhone 7s taking portrait fotos. The big advantage with the iPhone 7s was the 54 mm "telefoto lens". The P10 though, was way better in the low light performance. But my question is. Is the 2x zoom on the P10 just a feature or can it be use along with the features, such as the focus changer (f-stops). And will it affect lowlight performance? In other words will it work like using the optical zoom on a dedicated camera?
With the background blur?
I know it only has 1 camera at the back but the Pixel 2 XL manages to do it quite perfectly with 1 camera.
Yes with bokeh setting in camera
I'd say it's far from perfect. It kind of works, sometimes, but I've previously had a Xiaomi Mi 6 which did a better job. But even the best dual camera system is... meh. Get a real camera with a decent lens.
Say "cheese", then rate this thread to express how photos taken with the Xiaomi Redmi Note 6 Pro come out. A higher rating indicates that photos offer rich color (without over-saturating), sharp detail (with all subjects in-focus), and appropriate exposure (with even lighting).
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
I'm really happy with the photo quality on this phone, it's pretty good for the price (and in case anyone is wondering, yes, it's better than the Note 5 Pro). I'm satisfied with it but I still can't wait for someone to bring the Pixel Camera to this device, I'm sure it could improve the picture quality even more.
Photo Quality after latest update to 10.0.5 is reduced a lot...
Is there any solution on this?

Are you sure about this? To which version are you comparing this to?

I don't know about teh software upgrade, but if you look at the review of the Note 6 Pro in GSM Arena, go to 5.Camera and open the "photo compare tool", and select the Redmi Note 5 AI for comparison, the picture quality is much better than the Note 6.
The camera is supposed to be the same, but Note 6 seems to have excessive noise reduction and much less detail.
Anybody knows why?

I'm running latest MIUI software versions and the daylight quality shots with stock camera is excellent.
The night shot quality could be improved when compared with GCam.
Regards,
Photo quality is good, but I do not see as many details as with my previous J7 2015 (when I zoom in). But the overall image quality is much better (real colors, good lighting) .
I am disappointed with the camera cause the Mi A2 has better camera.

Hi
I have enabled cam2api with root (magisk) on a custom ROM (lineageos 17) and I cannot find a camera app that uses the full capacity of the phone cameras. I only get one 12MP on the rear camera and one 5MP on the front camera. I used gcam, open cam, lineageos snap...
Normally (on stock MIUI) it's a dual 12MP and 5MP cameras on the front and dual 20MP and 2MP cameras on the rear.
Does anyone know how to get the full capacity of the phone's cameras without going back to MIUI global ?

I think you said it otherwise: RN6Pro has on front a 20MP main and 2MP lens to depth and on rear, 12MP and 5MP lens.
I am using the Official 20200602 Lineage OS build and i can take photos with:
- The snap camera on rear can be shot with 20MP resolution and the front with 5MP.
- The Miui flashalble zip camera for android 10 can reach full resolution, but lack of front camera on manual mode.

Hi, I also have the official lineageos and tried to flash the canera after mounting system and vendor in TWRP but the app doesn't work. I don't know where I went wrong
*EDIT*
Actually it's working, I had to authorise access to camera in the properties
I'm still using the stock camera on stock ROM. Couldn't enable api2 as any attempts to unlock my bootloader have failed. I like the photo quality better than my wife's new 9 Pro Max. MP difference aside, there is less visible noise in 6 pro vis-a-vis 9 Pro Max. Same applies to selfie camera as well.
However, I do like the macro camera of 9 Pro max, and wish there was night mode on 6 Pro as well. Mi could just enable camera 2 API out of the box, but chooses not to for some reason.
Redmi note 6 pro image quality
The image quality is quite good. In this low budget price range Note 6 pro giving such good quality images. But after the latest update, the image quality is reduced. Idk it only happens to me or every Redmi Note 6 pro user will face this issue!!
I'm coming from the Pixel 3 (not XL) and just got my 4XL today. I noticed my 4xl's display is not as saturated as my pixel 3's. Anyone else coming from the Pixel 3 notice it as well? I know the smaller pixel 3 had an LG panel and the 4 XL has a Samsung panel so I'm sure that's why but looking at them side by side, my 4 XL's colors look more washed out. It also doesn't seem as bright as my pixel 3's
Yes! I noticed and also slow motion have so much grains not pretty clear.

The screen is great on my 4XL, I've had all generations of the pixel phones (XL variants), the only real disappointing screen for me was the 2XL. If you are getting noise or grain on your images, that is probably due to low light situations which is to be somewhat expected. The 4XL has a very decent panel, the only thing it might lack is a bit of extra brightness.

Are both phone's colors set to the same option? Natural, Boosted, or Adaptive?

If the Pixel 4 and Pixel 5 have the exact same camera, how can the Pixel 5 possibly give better results?
The Snapdragon in the 4 is much faster than the one in the 5, so computational photography should give an edge to the 4.
Will Google just reserve some proprietary algorithms for the 5? Or is there a secret graphics chip in the 5 that I haven't heard about?
They added a wide angle lense to the 5 as far as I've read.

Isn't there 3 cameras on the back? On the leaks we can see 3 of them, at least I hope.

2 lenses + 1 flash and one ir focus or laser?

Same main sensor, but a wide angle instead of a zoom.
All of the software tricks should make their way to the P4, either through updates or via Cstark
If your only reason for upgrading is the camera then it's not worth it. The only reason I can think of to go from the Pixel 4 to the Pixel 5 is the bigger battery and getting the fingerprint sensor back.
I pre-ordered my Pixel 5 this morning but I'm coming from a Pixel 2 XL.

I'm glad you said this. I just got the pixel 4 and love it. I don't care for the wide angle lense. The bigger battery would be nice but I get great battery life from my P4. I think I'll stick with the 4 until the 6 comes out.

I don't really care about the wide angle either. I'd much rather have the telephoto. I liked that the Pixel 4 had that but the way too small battery on both the Pixel 4 XL and especially the smaller Pixel 4 and the face unlock were deal breakers for me so I stuck with my Pixel 2 XL another year.

Yes I rode my Pixel 2 XL for as long as I could but some of the apps I used responded to slowly on the GP2XL. I handed it down to my daughter. I love the pixel 4 and the face unlock is awesome. I will say that I got tired of carrying around a big cell phone in the 2xl. So the P4 is a perfect fit.
Having got a pixel 5 and 4xl I naturally compared some photos.
Pixel 5 seems to get white balance right more.
HOWEVER when you pixel peep right into a photo I find the 4xl shots have fractionally more detail rendered.
For example a tree on the horizon has more branches clearly defined on the 4xl
Text on a sign in the background or on books on a shelf are less blurred on the 4xl too.
Video is a bit better. Telephoto is handy but the quality isn't as good as the main camera. It also doesn't save at 16mp but 12mp.
For normal photos for me it's the same thing no matter the Pixel gen I use.
But already know this personal opinion before purchasing them

Well for me I notice some fractional changes from model to model.
The pixel 5 however isn't producing quite as detailed shots as my 4xl when looking closely. Side by side it's identical until you pixel peep at the details.
The ultra wide isn't that good either. Tends to lack details and colour accuracy compared with the main camera.
The zoom is no way near as good as the 4xl.
In the end pixel 4 users be warned to consider not to 'upgrade' for the camera.
I'm waiting for the 6 and hope they upgrade the camera hardware.
