    macavity, 06 Apr 2021the colours on the main cam is just too over the top. The f... moreYeah, but technically realme has better camera software than xiaomi. Even Xiaomi Flagship models
    1. has a lot of camera bug
    2. Cannot use night mode on all lens (except mi 11 series)
    3. Cannot switch lens when recording on any models
    4. No tripod night mode
    5. No suoer resolution software to make use of the high res sensors (worsen by the fact there's no zoom lens except on their Ultra/Pro models)
    6. No astrophotography mode
    7. Night mode cannot benefit from tripod mode
    8. Video colour, white balance and exposure shifts easily
    9. Colours and WB are inconsistent
    10. Front facing camera cannot record 4K and has too many beauty modes
    11. No seamless lens switching even if Snapdragon 888 allows it
    12. No HDR recording like Samsung, Oneplus, Apple even if SD 865 was capable
    13. Slow motion is limited to 480fps at 720p and is bad


    These are all software issues and most of them exists on even their top end Models. I mean Mi 11 has an good enough camera for most, but is just sad that an expensive phone have to sacrifice cameras.

          So now it stares at you, or is it the old Samsung feature where screen stays on, when you look at it? Or did you miss the important 3 letter word?

            Believe it or not. Realme 8 pro has better cameras than Redmi Note 10 Pro despite using similar hardware.

            1. It has better HDR
            2. Better colours (oversaturated though, but white balance is great)
            3. Better nightscape mode
            4. Has astrophotography mode
            5. Night mode can be used on all lens (selfie and UW too, Redmi only has on main cam)
            6. Has 3x loseless zoom at main cam
            7. Able to switch lens while recording an video unlike Xiaomi Mi 11
            8. Don't have many camera bugs like xiaomi phones
            9. Camera app is very responsive unlike Xiaomi's
            10. Has tripod night mode unlike Xiaomi

            Xiaomi needs to work on its software
