          I doubt you ever use a Redmi 6...
          Xiaomi updates it every 2 monthes!
          Security update : August 2019!

          Mediatek doesn't support ?
          Even mt6572, a very old 32bits soc from 2013 gets newer Kernel! (As OEM are interested in for KaiOS)
          Every Nokia phones with Mediatek get updates.
          You've got for exemple Nokia 1 with mt6737 : released with Android 8.1, it now runs 9.0 and Nokia confirms version 10.
          For your full information : mt6737 was released with Android 6.0!!!! Yes 5 majors Android versions exist on mt6737, an entry level soc!

          All Sony devices with Mediatek's get updates...
          Oppo updates devices with Mediatek's (at least if they're available un Europe)

          You can accuse many OEM to give you no update, but certainly not Mediatek

            Aniket, 29 Aug 2019Realme XT is 1stIt's not officially released, Some youtubers unboxed this video and gave us the specs the price is still yet to be revealed.

              Alex, 29 Aug 2019That you can't compare the two, that's for sure. All the co... morezoom and aperture are very important for shooting, in mobile phone its very limited. Add chance of virus and its obvious. Still in most situations they come out superior, its not the year 2000, phones perform a lot better and will get better. Not to forget the best camera is the one you got with you and with its size and price its nothing like mirrorless.

                  vrvly, 29 Aug 2019Cannot compare the two, phones use mostly brighter aperture... moreThat you can't compare the two, that's for sure. All the color sensors, AI, HDR stacking, all kind of stabilization, stacked and different ryyb sensors ... can't make up for the superiority of a simple large sensor in real cameras and large lenses. Otherwise, photo reporters and wedding photographers would shoot with their phones, not with their real cameras.

                        Both spoilt by their SOCs. Note 8 should've been SD712 and Note 8 Pro should've been SD730G.
                        Also it seems no NFC for the non pro version.

                        Disappointing

                          Where's the official news?
                          I'd still not bet Pro's gonna go global for sure. On one hand they should, but... they also might keep that sensor for better models with SD here. If so, MTK case solved before it started (for some). Announcement please!

                          Please don't write those unreal low price numbers any more, it's more outside of China.

Quality goes where goes money, example: try to capture milky way with your camera in hands no tripod.

                                Will enjoy this or 108mp sensor shots with ultra clarity mode. Shame not every brand is capable of that.

                                    IpsDisplay, 29 Aug 2019All while keeping the same dimensions of this 64mp sensor??A 12 MP sensor with 1.4 micron pixels has a size of 1/2.55" which is smaller than this sensor which is 1/1.7" in size.

                                      AnonD-706668, 29 Aug 2019So ?A. OIS is an extra component, requiring a separate socket, you can't fit it without a bump
                                      B. That costs a lot more than price difference between 12 MP and 64 Mp camera sensor
                                      C. Ask an average customer that will they prefer 12 Mp or 64 Mp camera on phone, get your answer and then come back

                                        Some time ago i took my first DSLR (10 years old, 12 MP Canon 450D) off the shelf, and took it for a ride, just so it doesn't get rusty. What do you think, what makes better photos, my new shiny phone with 3 cameras, or my 10 years old first proper camera? If you need a hint, let me know.
