    MrFas, 22 hours agoDid you mean the Xiaomi 15 Ultra or Pro? vs the X200 Pro miniThe regular Xiaomi 15 is a better competitor for the Vivo x200 pro mini as it's about the same size and will be around the same price. The Xiaomi 15 pro and 15 ultra will be in different price categories. The Xiaomi 15 pro will compete against the Vivo x200 pro not the mini.

      Xiaomi needs to up their game with their software, especially for the camera

        alteran, 14 Oct 2024Just fix ugly instagram shots, no one cares your 200 or 500... moreWell, there is probably 1Mp limit at social networks, could be even considered hi res at that, at least, when I tried to see those resolution limits last time...
        But people didn't like 4mp in phone, they just love to pinch and zoom maybe, or is it something deeper?
        Also hi res from samsung flagship is not the same as hi res from mid range of any other random brand, difference is astronomical in dynamic range and detail too, so hi res matters, but a lot depends on brand and performance category.

          Anonymous, 14 Oct 2024" Somehow, still makes me remember nokia 808 41Mp lvl ... moreI'm glad you mention that, so I can explain.
          1. shooting 41mp on 808 is possible, but certain app or settings was needed to be applied(do not remember exactly what it was - you can google it) - of course, it wasn't 4:3 picture ratio but something more uneven.
          2. it was old sensor, old lens, old processing - and it still produced good enough detail, even with that noise being there.
          3. downsampling was great to instantly shoot and share small files, but there are people who would use full resolution, like now you can shoot 12mp, 24mp, 50mp, 200mp on s24u.
          4. As a secondary 64mp/40mp cameras: Magic3, Magic3 Pro and Pro+, P50pro, IIIF150 Raptor and other outdoor phones use no bayer or even no IR/UV filter for B&W images in full resolution(no bayer make it capture even better detail than standard bayer) with better low light capability compare to standard bayer, not to mention way way better low light capability without IR/UV light filter.
          As a zoom camera: 3.5x 64mp in Honor Magic 4 Pro using normal bayer to get better stills at higher zoom (sharper than S22U even - try search on youtube: Camera Comparison: Honor Magic 4 Pro vs Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra).
          5. stacking multiple frames with high resolution is a better than single low res, thats why is hi res used, as for quad/multi-bayer, its used to shorten readout when stacking for low light and moving subjects, but its useful mostly when full sensor is used, not part as its commonly used with tele cameras shooting at 8x-20x a lot of the time.

          Basically no reason to not use it for better tele or low light photography, as well as removed IR/UV filter, but companies seems to like fighting for bits and pieces than introducing a new fresh technology, well at least removable IR should be possible.
          As for multi layer bayer and faster hi res readout, its gettig better...

            Mobilemaster, 18 hours agoI am talking about something we see on the Sony phones, but... moreGonna wait forever. Zoom is more expensive than two of fixed range .
            Oppo system has waited 3 years already 80-200mm.
            It would be out if they wanted

              PatDat, 19 hours agoYou mean real zoom? If yes then it will be huge compromise ... moreI am talking about something we see on the Sony phones, but on a larger scale from like 3x-8x zoom. :)

                  brsdrgn, 15 Oct 2024Noone said Noone is saying no to 2x! Try to read careful... morei know that the 1 incher manages between 1 to 3.7x, and beyond 2x it SUCKS. That's my point.

                    I can't wait for the first continuous zoom system from a Chinese company. :)

                          Way better than S23's 10x optical (cuz Vivo's 3.7x same sensor is already way better)

                            Anonymous, 15 Oct 2024So no 10x zoom It's too bad really, I use the 10x camera on my S23U a lot, especially when I'm on holiday.

                              jiyen235, 15 Oct 2024no one's saying no to 2x. My point is that that 2x to ... moreNoone said Noone is saying no to 2x!

                              Try to read carefully and try to think more.

                              How vivo achieved the gap from 1x to the periscope with x100 ultra or x100 pro then? One being from 1x to 3.7

                              That giant 1 inch censor still manages to fulfill that gap.

                              Seeing we have 4.3x now probably will be solved by adding a big 2x censor. That's all. Why it takes long to get it? Why do you repeat your argument...

                                Johnny, 15 Oct 2024Xiaomi 15 or vivo X200 Pro mini ?200 pro mini probs better camera (especially vivo lowlight and hdr) but I like hyperOS over funtouch/colourOS

                                  brsdrgn, 14 Oct 2024Xiaomi likes having 4 rear modules. Seeing this 4.7, I g... moreno one's saying no to 2x. My point is that that 2x to 4.3x range would be quite a large gap and thus this phone might have poorer zoom range.

Guess they haven't seen that

                                        Eduard33, 15 Oct 2024DCS sometimes edits the post and just says that. Go look at... moreYeah, he has posted about the periscope on the Xiaomi 14 ultra before. I was thinking more about the comment on the 3x telephoto being the same on all models. Don't know where they got that from
