Thanks a lot

From these 3, for me it's the S21 Ultra with Gcam for all stills ( as stock cam makes skin tones or slightly moving objects a mess) and stock cam for anything zoom and video. The 3x zoom is one of the most used in my case.
S20 Ultra, well, the focusing issues makes it a clear NO.

Question Trying to decide between Mi10 Ultra vs Mi11 Ultra

Hello everyone,
I am trying to decide between Mi10 Ultra and Mi11 Ultra
I like Mi11 Ultra but there are 2 features missing which were on Mi10 Ultra.
The 2x telephoto and 120W charging were both really important to me. Mi11 Ultra got rid of both. Both have 5x telephoto which is great. But Mi11 Ultra 2x digital zoom is not as good as 2x optical lens on Mi10 Ultra. And charging is slower on Mi11 Ultra. I am the kind of person who travels a lot and need to charge as fast as possible in 10-15 min. 120W on Mi10 Ultra sounds better and would be a lot faster than 67W.
The rest of the features seems the same to me, I don't see that much difference between MIUI and both have IR blaster. Should I buy Mi10 Ultra or Mi11 Ultra?
Sounds like you did your homework and like the Mi10 Ultra! Not aware of any other big differences...
I think Mi 11 Ultra have a little better stereo speaker, and also added IP68, I like also that GN2 sensor in night photos. And battery is little bigger in Mi 11 Ultra, 5000mAh vs 4500mAh. But if your priority is charging time, and 2x optical zoom, I think you know the answer
I'm hoping someone can post a camera comparison sample of 10U at optical 2x vs 11U at digital 2x.
If anyone can post some 1x, 2x, and 5x zoom samples from Mi11 Ultra, I would really appreciate it.
If Mi11 Ultra digital zoom at 2x is better than 10 Ultra optical 2x zoom, I will probably go for 11.

I've uploaded tons of 1x and 2x shots recently here so I hope you'll find it useful: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/initial-impressions-photo-samples-cn-rom-48hrs-in.4263469/
Bottom line is that I'm very impressed (I had high expectations).

That is amazing. That 2x looks too sharp to be digital zoom, is it hybrid zoom?
Also, does the telephoto 5x zoom work on 4k/30 and 4k/60?
Well researched beforehand I had the 10 Ultra and now the 11 Ultra, both are very nice phones and have their strengths and weaknesses...
For my personal preferences the 11 Ultra is superior, although its a close call. For me the B20 support was crucial.
Mi11 Ultra vs Mi10 Ultra from a11 Ultra perspective:
+11U: larger and better screen
+11U: slightly better sensors in some cameras
+11U: full band support (specifically B20)
-11U: larger device, I prefered the compactness of the 10Ultra
-11U: no intermediate zoom lens (2x/3x) - why o why Xiaomi did you not take the 2x from the 10U into the 11U?
-11U: more expensive
-11U: slower charging (although I don't miss that that much, 55W wireless is enough for me)

Question Coming from Galaxy S10+ (Should I upgrade?)

My current phone is Samsung Galaxy S10+.
I really like its 2K AMOLED screen, stereo audio, UI and the cameras.
My main focus is photography and videos (mainly with rear camera) and I get mad that I can't take a good astrophotography and I don't have a fully compatible GCam (My only cons.).
What do you guys say abaout an upgrade to Xiaomi Mi 11?
It will worth sell my S10+ to buy it?
PS: My budget can't afford Galaxy S21 Ultra or Mi 11 Ultra.
Thanks bros!
Stay safe!
These smartphones don't have enough light gathering capability for good astrophotography.
At this time my prime choice is still the Note 10+ running on Pie.
No Q or 11 scope storage or other cpu cycle robbing security bs.
The Note 20U be my next choice.
Both Android and Samsung have been playing the wicked game of drop the ball.
Nobody is the winner is when playing that game

I know we are talking about smartphones, not DSLR cameras.
Take a look at the picture attached. I got this one with my old Mi 9.
When I mean "astrophotography" is take picture like this for fun.
What I want to know is if I'll have a better photo/video package comparing to S10+

That's a damn fine shot
I'm surprised you could do that with any smartphone. Pro cams have more precision controls to easily dial it in.
I know what your saying but a 10 mm lense grabs only a fraction of the light that a 67 mm can. Size matters
Used cam bodies and lens can be had at reasonable prices if you look.
I coming from mi 9
It wasn't worth to upgrade to mi 11, in my opinion
The mi 11 ist better in low light, but the camera is slower , slower taking pictures or slow autofocus or wrong focus.
Since I own both of them, I would probably recommend the Galaxy S20FE over the Mi 11 if you are interested in pictures. The 3 lenses on the FE really give it an advantage over the Mi 11 in my opinion (especially with the 3x telephoto). I also prefer the software processing on the FE over what you get with the Mi 11. However you can use Google Photos editor to adjust color and dynamic range on the Mi 11 photos to make them look as good as you get on the FE. The Mi 11 DOES capture more detail with the 108MP lens for sure.

I aimed for Mi 11 to keep the 2K AMOLED screen and stereo audio. I really appreciate these features.
I'm not the guy that take a picture and post it as it was taken, I always edit them in Adobe Lightroom.
I'd like to fell free to use GCam and its features without headache or limitations (My S10+ is Exynos).
Here with S10+ I make macro pictures using 2x zoom lens + macro lens I made myself.
Check the picture I attached

I see your'e really talented in mobile photography.
Currently I do own both Mi 11 and Mi 10 Pro. They do share same sized 1/1.33" sensors, but Mi 10 Pro has wider aperture of f1.69 (exif says f1.65) and Mi 11 has f1.85. Also Mi 10 Pro has 8P lens which helps with distortion and I do see some more details too.
I've attached my test image using same settings and Mi 10 Pro has clear advantage in gathering light vs Mi 11 (check picture - on top Mi 11, on bottom Mi 10 Pro (brighter). Mi 11 just has a little bit better processing and makes it just a bit quicker because of SD888. But SD865 is better optimised system at this moment. Also the processing of SD888 advantages does not matter then using gcam - there Mi 10 Pro has clear advantage. The slower aperture of mi 11's f1.85 could be possible better on daytime, but it's not the case.
My advice would be to go for Mi 10 Pro / Ultra if your'e interested in photography/ videography and especially in low light. Mi 11 Ultra is best, but it is pricey.
Mi 11 is overall very nice device to hold and use, I'm loving it. But not battery time - for me it's bad as it was with mi mix 3.
Some users suggested S20 FE with their 1/1.76" f1.8 sensor - if it's 5G version you get SD865 and imx555 - this is best regular bayer sensor for mobiles on android. No BS like on those "now ordinary" quad or nona bayer sensors with artifacts. I like how it performs. Made some test's with Mi 11 in comparision - in day time I prefer S20 FE's videos (photo's are great, but details of 27mpx wins slightly with mi 11). In low light Mi 11 has slight advantage of gathering more light / better noise control of bigger sensor (raw images). In some cases S20 FE wins, in more cases Mi 11. I hate Mi's default camera processing, so using only RAW images shot on pro mode or using GCAM. Then it has clear advantage over S20/S21 basic models (otherwise not - because of inconsistency).
Also good phone for astrophotography would be Vivo X60 Pro + - big sensor 1/1.31 and F1.57 aperture.

Except the zoom I have the impression that s22 has better cameras overall.
Tested s21u and s22u, didnt find a big differences when looked on photos in devices. So S22plus cant replace s21u in photo quality, another minus is battery, 5000mah is best Choice when you dont want charge phone every 15h with a moderate usage.

The S21 Ultra has better overall cameras than the S22 base/plus. Also the ultra wide has autofocus and can do macro and a better front camera. If you main focus is on the cameras, the S21 Ultra is the way to go.
Can't live with the 1080p resolution on the plus phones vs 2k on the ultras
Since the camera is what most of you are considering in this thread, I'll add something of my own. As a photographer I like the S21 much better than the S22, but if you are not a professional photographer you won't find any difference and you might even like the S22 much better. Plus, the price of the S21 is much lower.
The only problem I encountered while using the S21 is the lack of understanding of how to take a screenshot, because for some unknown reason the keys on this smartphone model is different from the keys on other models of Samsung smartphones. Fortunately, my friend recommended me to pay attention to this article on how to screenshot on s21 fe https://thecelldesk.com/how-to-capture-screenshot-samsung-galaxy-s21-fe-5g-methods/.
I decided to take this advice and did not regret it, because this guide was very detailed and I quickly managed to understand how to make screenshots on S21 FE.

They really don't compare very well. The S21 Ultra is larger with a bigger display, 1440 x 3200 pixels, 1080 x 2340 on the S22 +, Internal Memory, 512GB w/16GB Ram, 256GB w/8GB Ram on the S22+, 108MP Main Cam Senor 50MP on the S22+, 5000 mAh Battery 4800 on the S22+, Android 11 is more trouble free compared to Android 12. For the same price, S21 Ultra hands down, it's not even close.

Question Samsung S23 Ultra cam port

Hi,
Has anybody taught of porting the camera app from the S23 Ultra which uses the same main sensor as the Edge 30 Ultra?
Or imported something along the lines of that?
also xiaomi 13 pro has it but no news on porting that I know
While Moto Ultra 30 has the same 200mp camera
its just in pixel count but Moto Edge 30 ultra uses v1 sensor where as S23 ultra uses new sensor HP2
Moto Edge 30 Ultra - Samsung HP 1
Samsung S23 Ultra - Samsung HP 2
HP1 introduced in 2021
HP3 introduced in 2022
HP2 came this year
