"The arrangement is quite familiar - first (top to bottom) is the ultrawide snapper, then the primary one, the depth camera is next, and last is the macro shooter."
It seems we got it right in both design and camera pages. Is there something else written elsewhere?
Thanks!

A camera focused midrange will cut out other specs like SOC or display/built quality , not in the camera department. That's why I was so much obsessed with the Pixel 3a and new Mi note 10

Dear GSMArena,
The ring coated with silver color is actually the ultra wide-angle camera, not the 48MP primary sensor.

And yes, kernel sources are very good. Nothing to complain about it.

This is an entry level mid-range phone. It's more of a spec sheet focused rather than a "quad camera superstar".

[deleted post]Why would I need an OIS if I already have gadgets to counter it?
Seriously, this is an outstanding mid-range phone. No need for fancy features like OIS, IP68, etc.

Anyways, this phone I had, Redmi Note 8, won it from a giveaway. My cash was not hurt. :)

AnonD-754814, 03 Dec 2019I don't care what you'll take. And also nobody care what you think is best. Your choices ain't even for best mid-range, but rather best camera midrange. There so much more to consider for a phone than just camera.

Sad but true

The RN8 has the pretty decently updated 4.14 kernel version and I've seen really outdated kernel versions in recent phone models. *cough* Motorola *cough*

My friend had a Redmi note 5 AI. It had Worst camera I have ever seen. Worse than my Nokia N95 Which was 10 years old. I didn't do s side by side comparison but that's the result. I guessed that The problem might be with that particular unit.

Geric.770, 03 Dec 2019K20 Pro all the way man.I won't trust any Camera without OIS. When a manufacturer doesn't implement OIS to the smartphone, It means that manufacturer doesn't care about the camera performance.
