        Why would Xiaomi downgrade the main camera sensor from the GN2 (the better one) to the GN5?

              TheAccountant, 18 Nov 2021GN5 from GN2?? that's a downgrade from mi 11 ultra.Yeah, but the source for that article is basically guessing the sensor. Not really a reliable leak. Some Chinese leakers have indicated it will be a custom main sensor. Seems unlikely they would use the GN5 on their top camera phone

                Maybe Ultra-Wide + Telephoto + Telephoto like Galaxy S21 Ultra.
                Xiaomi high end seems to really be aimed against Samsung's high end.
                Or Telephoto + Portrait like the Vivo X70 Pro+.
                Though I would love to see haters losing their mind if it has a 48Mp Macro :D

                Let's hope it is an Ultrasonic FPS!
                We really need to get rid of the old and already capped optical one.

                          This case I set max quality.

                                Unfortunately a lot of companies are too aggressive on compression.
                                As well as the jpeg processing algorithms....I like using Adobe LR plus I like gcam mods and things like open camera.
                                Yes you lose some fancy ai from the stock camera app, but I turn all that off anyway.

                                      unxpctd, 18 Nov 2021In the smartphone world though, jpeg is unfortunately maybe... moreIt is not about what people should use.

                                      I am saying people cannot judge the strength of sensor by using jpeg.
                                      Considering mobile chips are too weak to extract 100% of the sensors, you barely notice difference beween sensor from brand A and brand B if you check jpeg.

                                      Sony has three sensors of 48MP 1/2" (582,586,589).
                                      Seeing jpeg, you will never notice any difference between them.

                                      Upcoming GN5 has same specs of imx766. Only difference is AF type.
                                      Without using same software for both and checking raw files, it is impossible to say which one is better.

                                      Jpeg of X70 Pro+ is better than mi11 ultra. Is the raw file better as well? I do not know.

                                      I tested few editors. Snapseed is pretty easy to use, but it is not as feature rich as Adobe Lightroom.

                                      Something needs to be said. Phones that output 12MP, have jpeg files of 3,5 - 5MB size usually. If you shoot raw and just turn it into jpeg using Lightroom, compression is much lower. It gives you files of more than 9MB.

                                        Would also be quite nice if we can move beyond all this jpeg nonsense. There have been numerous other formats introduced that address the shortcomings... Jpeg2000, JpegXL, XR, HEIF, WebP
