          Too bad that all that beautiful screen is gonna be ruined by the camera notch. Instead of having a small bezel and putting the camera there. Dumb dumb

Majority o... moreYeah, I'm wondering why some brands and phones clearly state in their specifications that the phone supports OIS/EIS at 1080p 60fps (probaly in the super stable mode) but it doesn't say this for 4k at any fps. An example is the Oneplus 11. This phone does clearly support EIS at both 4k 30fps and 4k 60ps but it only states that it supports OIS/EIS combo at 1080p. Meanwhile, the Oppo find x6 pro for example says it supporst both OIS and EIS at 4k 30fps and 4k 60 fps

                Anonymous, 08 May 2023European prices F5 8/256GB = €429 F5 12/256GB = €479... moreWtf thats legit Xiaomi 12t and 12t Pro pricing.

                F5 GT is probably gonna cost €700. No lineup is spared from the price increases.

                EDIT: Turns out Im wrong and these are basically the same prices as Poco F4 launched for €450 too.

                  Anonymous, 08 May 2023Stock UI is boring, enough said. MIUI is equally smooth and... moreBoss you don't know anything. Pixel ui is fastest ui for Android.

                  Miui is bugy compare to stock Android ui. Miui is heavy and eating lots of resources of phone cpu + ram. So people hate xiaomi which leads to their business down this year not only in india, all over world.

                  I think this nothing os will be there best ui for this year.

                    Not having EIS for 4K is CHOICE FROM OEM TO SAVE COST.
                    It is not related to SoC or anything else.

                    If a phone only have EIS available at 1080p is BECAUSE OEM DID NOT WANT TO GIVE TO 4K MODE.



                      I wish that the regular Poco F5 is the next best option to recommend from Poco X5 Pro, so that they will decide to buy one of these which more or less value for the bucks. Hope the Poco X5 Pro will take it long support.

                          Well if you use Xiaomi bloatware, you will miss it.
                          Crap like MIUI themes, which are disgusting and never work as intended and look horrendous.

                          That said, some things are useful, like AppVault.

                          But at least nobody else has deliberate anti-user updates and features, like e.g. disabling gestures when 3rd party launchers are used, self-installing apps which are not even supposed to be available in EU and which you can't uninstall (like wallpaper carousel)..
                          They releas phones deliberately with 1 android version back just so they can claim they give you 2-3 updates, where in fact, it should have started with 1+ already.

Some camera manufacturers say it can on their website like panasonic for example. https://eww.pavc.panasonic.co.jp/hdw/oi/AG-X2/html/AG-X2-X20_DVQP2773_eng/0093.html. Just curious especially seing as some smartphones are only advertising OIS+EIS at 1080p but EIS at 4k. Apparently Filmic Pro also gives an option to disable OIS but haven't tried it myself.

                                  EIS is usually not available in certain modes on many phones (that is option to reduce software cost)
                                  OIS is not meant for videos, only for photos taken with shutter speed between 1/2s and 1s.
