There is a single LED flash outside this mountain."

        "The arrangement is quite familiar - first (top to bottom) is the ultrawide snapper, then the primary one, the depth camera is next, and last is the macro shooter."

        It seems we got it right in both design and camera pages. Is there something else written elsewhere?

        Thanks!

A camera focused midrange will cut out other specs like SOC or display/built quality , not in the camera department. That's why I was so much obsessed with the Pixel 3a and new Mi note 10

                    Dear GSMArena,

                    The ring coated with silver color is actually the ultra wide-angle camera, not the 48MP primary sensor.

                        This is an entry level mid-range phone. It's more of a spec sheet focused rather than a "quad camera superstar".

                          Seriously, this is an outstanding mid-range phone. No need for fancy features like OIS, IP68, etc.

                                The RN8 has the pretty decently updated 4.14 kernel version and I've seen really outdated kernel versions in recent phone models. *cough* Motorola *cough*
