I have already updated the phone with the latest system update and it's currently on MIUI 12 Global 12.0.8.
With EIS enabled, it is very grainy, but improves a little with EIS disabled. In normal daylight, video recordings seems fine, but in a room lit with warm toned lighting conditions (~3000k), videos are grainy.
I have compared it to Alcatel 1S (2020), Honor 10 Lite, moto e6 plus and even Xiaomi's own Redmi 9, the video recordings are much much cleaner.
Does anyone know what the issue here is?
You'd have thought the Note 9 would beat all the above?
I have also done a factory reset (which incidentally removes some apps such as AliExpress, some Google related apps amd the Games drawer? Anyone know why?

Hi All,
I recently purchased my Huawei P20 Pro phone expecting the photos to be amazing. The main reason I bought the phone was because of reviews stating how great the camera was indoors, and I have 2 children that I want to photo inside.
Sadly I am noticing the following issues:
- Skin tone of people shot using both the front and back camera are automatically smoothed and beautified, sometimes to the extent that they can look like wax works/ heavily made-up. It looks unnatural. I heard this could be issue on the front camera but was not expecting it on the back camera. This issue remains even when I turn down the beautification setting to zero.
- Indoor photo quality on the front camera for photos and videos is not great. Photos are grainy and full of artefacts in addition to the issue mentioned above about beautification. In fact I have shot comparatives with my iPhone 7 and there is little difference in quality.
- The camera can have a several second delay between pressing the "take" button and then snapping the photo. There is a particularly long lag when pressing using 40 MP and RAW settings.
The outdoor photos are largely taking fine though I am still seeing beautification of faces.
I hope this is something I can fix with the settings or a camera software update. So far it seems to me that my issue relates to one of the following:
- The settings I am using are not optimal. Perhaps I need to turn off AI. Could this be the case?
- The software on the camera is outdated. How can I check and update this?
- The phone I have is faulty.
- I have drastically overestimated how good the quality of this phone is. I hope this is not the case!
Please help me fix the issue as I don't want to return the phone...
I don't claim to have used the camera a lot. However, I did find this video which covers all the camera functions in detail. I keep it in its own playlist so I can easily refer to it.

I had the same problems with the Mate 10 Pro, no matter if shooting in Auto, Pro or Portrait. Horrible quality indoor, terrible skin tone. Pictures looked like oil paint
have you tried using the flash? photography is about light without light it will push up the iso and i wont use my rx100 past 1600-3200 so i would think these smartphones top out at what 400-800 maximum before they get grainy and noise reduction smears details etc
Oh I have seen so much worse when it comes to smoothening out details than P20 Pro. Galaxy S9 for example. P20 Pro gives me good details even in low light, best I've ever used.
im used to take photos indoors (mostly of my little nephews), i dont have problems with exposure or soft skin on the rear camera(i disabled the AI mode ) , on the other hand in the front facing camera you need to disable the beauty mode, disable it and set it to 0, Its normal to have a little delay in 40 MP RAW since well its a big 40MP picture. what firmware is on your device?
Hello everybody, i have a weird problem with my phantom 4 pro, when i record a video on the drone it automaticaly record a video on the Phone in lower resolution as a preview of what i record, like a video cache. When I use it with my galaxy note 8 it was all good, on the mi9 it is very choppy. The mi9 has a lot stronger proccesor. What might be the problem?
Morning all,
Essentially my k20 pro won't let me shoot in Filmic Pro outside with 1/48 shutter speed without completely filling the shot with blinding light so that nothing can be seen. Does anyone know why this might be happening? It doesn't matter which combination of settings I use, if the shutter is 1/48 it's completely overexposed.
This is the standard setting for cinematic footage and this is 'the' app for obtaining it. It seems ridiculous that the default settings in this situation would deliberately lead to such an issue. Any thoughts?
My redmi 9's camera or video recorder sometimes does not sync up the audio and video. It got worse when i updated my phone to miui 12... The audios in the video recorded have a really high tendency to be not in sync and be corrupted.
Am I the only one who's facing this issue? Im using a 3/32 global variant of the redmi 9.
This happens to me too. Unfortunately, I'm not 100% sure of the reason for this issue. But I have two hypotheses:
1.- Maybe it happens because of lack of RAM
2.- Maybe it happens because of the illumination of the site you're recording. I suspect that when I try to record in a low-light environment, the camera automatically reduces its video framerate. When this happens probably, the audio records at a constant framerate, while the video records at a variable framerate, and, in consequence, causing this delay.
But, again. These are just hypotheses of mine. I tried downloading other camera apps, and the result is the same, but when I restart my phone and try to record on a well-illuminated area, I tend to see more fluidness and sync between audio and video.
Note: I'm also using the global version of Redmi 9 (3/32)
A friend of me have same issue with 32/3 gb version and in my opinion its the ram,he rooted and disabled much apps and in devloper settings sets max 4 apps running and then it works for some time,after minutes it start lagging until reboot and new settungs in devlooer options sadly the hardware in this variant is very poor,sadlyCheers!!!
Hello, new S21 Ultra (Exynos) owner here.
I and my mate are doing a video podcast of sorts and were eager to select the best video setting on my new S21 Ultra - resolution, FPS, wide or main camera etc. We shot some with his Galaxy A71 for control purposes and played our samples back on his Samsung 4K TV. And as the video quality on the S21 Ultra was in most cases better (not much on the wide-angle, it had decent detail but was grainy), the microphone levels were considerably lower than those on the A71.
The quality was there, the details also, but the overall sound was way more silent and the bass/treble was nearly non-existent compared to the ones on the other device.
We started trying to change different settings on my phone with no effect. It's not an S21 Ultra playback issue, as I sent a video to his phone to stream it to the TV from there and the difference persisted.
Compared to a video on my wife's Samsung M31 the difference is also the same.
I did not discover any particular microphone settings other than the zoom-in mic, which made no difference turned off or on. Can it be some other app using the microphone and screwing up its performance? I really hoped that the sound captured on the S21 Ultra would be impressive and not at all sub-par.
Use the pro video mode, there you can change what mics to use....front, back or both or external mic

It works OK by adding 10db to the sound level, but yet I didn't need to use this mode on the other devices. Hopefully the may update will improve this issue. At least it doesn't seem to be hardware related.
