The bottom line is, you have to take into account how much this phone cost. The camera might not be perfect but the price makes it a good deal. You're paying a mid-range price for a flagship quality camera. If you want this same flagship camera on a flagship processor then wait for the mi10. Expect to pay a flagship price for it though.

        Do you really need Samsung Galaxy?

          How about the price comparison? Xiaomi is half the price of Samsung. In that respect, and assuming that camera performances are close, I would of course go with Xiaomi.

            Couldn't care less about the megapixel count, but that almost 1 inch sensor (75% to be exact) has to be a pretty big deal. That's close to the size of the sensor in the Sony RX-100. Just hard to believe Xiaomi could squeeze that into a smartphone without major compromises in other areas.

              NeonHD, 10 Jan 2020Nope. I thought it was already established in 2015 that megapickles don't matter! Stupi... moreBUY xiaomi mi note 10 first, then you can say the experience, not bullshit opinion dude!

                The software and the mid-range cpu are what's holding back the potential of the camera. The Mi10 will use this same camera and would produce better results simply because they will use a flagship cpu to processs the image.

                  wow, noise performance of the 108mp sensor turned out to be really good, lets see what samsung can offer using the same sensor but with f1.5 aperture

                      Stupid companies like Xiaomi are simply trying to get consumers hyped by showing off big numbers. I'd rather take a 12MP camera with a good CMOS sensor and good software processing than a 314MP camera that produces mediocre color reproduction and dynamic range. I mean, my Nexus 6P still takes one of the best photos IMHO and it uses a 12 MP camera.

                      Large MP is only used for certain purposes for certain individuals, the average snapchat user wouldn't give a dime about high MP count.

                          Anonymous, 09 Jan 2020They were right. These situations? Yes some but not all. The article specifically says do you ... moreI would be glad even if I didn't needed 108mpx if the quality was better. Looks like it'll be super rare to come across an ideal scenario when it's not better to use the 5X zoom instead of the 108mpx from the main camera.

                            AnonD-784107, 06 Jan 2020Its not about the pixel count. As this proves. Its about the lenses. Even its the same sensor ... moreYes.. and also about camera software. And here Xiaomi has a long way to go.
                            Looked at some samples comparing Mi 9T (Sony 586 sensor) and Mi Note 1 (108 mpix Samsung sensor).
                            Looking at images without zooming or cropping (which is after all what most people do), you really have to make an effort to spot the differences. Even for low light shots.

                              phone cameras are for point, shoot, and upload. it should be judge based on that. if you want to zoom, crop, and edit, then get a real camera.

                                Forget about those resulotion, pixel number, sensor size, the biggest pixel um is always the winner, you dont have to read million of review to understand this

                                Anything larger than 2 um has good enough sharpness and dynamic range. Most full frame dslr are over 4 - 10 um

                                  It's still part of the point of the article, there were plenty of scenes where you might have seen some advantage, and even in scenes where it would be worse would have been a useful it informative contrast.

                                    So basically yes. Bigger sensor!!
                                    In the past 8 years cameras have degraded in actual quality. Faster focus, better hdr, better low light.
                                    But we have been ripped off while 12mp have been recycled for years now and were barely acceptable when they started.
                                    But thanks to corporate greed and the average Joe thinking yes all I want is a skinny fashion phone.... It's what we got.

                                    And what most people are not getting is you are comparing mid level quad Bayer's to flagship sensors. They tend to lack OIS, they don't have dual pixel focus, maybe not the same sensor quality, processing, etc.
                                    And they are newer.
                                    Now take the 48-108mp ones add better focus, ois, brighter or dual lender like Samsung, higher end processing, more control over depth, etc. And you got yourself a camera that would probably destroy any 12mp around right now.

These situations? Yes some but not all. The article specifically says do you need 108mp. And in many daylight scenes would have been the perfect time to throw it in just for contrast.
                                      Of course sticking to the 27mp mode in most cases and areas of this test made sense. But completely leaving the full res shots out altogether was a mistake

This is specially apparent with 48mpx sensors, but how worse can vary, your tolerance can vary to make it usable to crop, which is a bit redundant when you have 5x physical zoom.
                                        Yes, the 27mpx uses the full 108mpx of the sensor, it was made to work this way.
