Sometimes gcam wins, sometimes stock cam wins.

What I dont like about gcam is fact no manual mode (maybe if one day Apple offers , Google does too). Many features cant be used.

Anyway, the main features will be offer as CinemaPro and PhotoPro, stock app will be same from xz3.

          Even the 2x optical zoom pictures from OnePlus 7t were inferior from the 2x digital through note 8 pro using gcam.

Like a lot. Maybe on midrangers it could do some things right but when it comes to flagships with their own dedicated sensors such as Mate. P, Xperia, S20 forget about it.

                But having said that, Exynos this year sucks in comparison to SD865.
                In CPU (multi core), GPU, Battery efficiency, Thermal throttling.
                Worst part is that only US variant is SD865. Rest of the world gets Exynos variant.

                Most users won't notice difference in performance in lighter tasks but in real world test, Chinese phones costing half the 1300-1400$ price are faster than Exynos variant S20 in heavy duty tasks.

Go ahead and buy 60w Redmi that tops the battery in 25 minutes. Come back to these forums 365 days later and tell us how's battery life. My advice is: don't do it.

People who knows what GCcam is will hardly pay 370€ for a phone that will most likely take worse pictures than some Redmi Note 8 with GCam.

I can actually enjoy music with good clarity and minimal crossover, unlike those who got the US model.
                          Who cares if the Snapdragon has a bit better synthetic benchmark scores on some things, when Android software is optimised for older devices?
