Nick Tagataka, 05 May 2020Yes the app is fully functional, but the post processing is... moreDefinitely no terrible dull colors on Mi Note 10, maybe a little less realistic than stock (but then again that can be tuned in the settings).Your friend must be using a different(older) version of gcam.
Although the app took more time than stock in certain scenarios which can be boiled down to Sd730g chipset.

Wait 2-3 months as developers get their hands on the SD865 with new ISP.
It's only a matter of time.

    "With the relative wonkiness with recent Xiaomi EU prices..."what's going on,Xiaomi?Those EU prices are up to 50% higher than online prices from China...customs fees and taxes included...

      Anonymous, 05 May 2020 Fully functional gcam working on all cams available for 1... moreYes the app is fully functional, but the post processing is clearly not optimised for the sensor. One of my friend got Mi Note 10 roughly two months ago so I recommended him to try out Gcam. The app didn't have any issue with stability/mode switching/shooting photos (apart from occasional sluggishness) but the images that came out of it had terribly dull colours, which was in line with what XDA users were reporting at that time. I don't know the current situation, though, so it would be helpful if you could find me sample photos if you think it has already been fixed.

              Fully functional gcam working on all cams available for 108mp sensor on Mi Note 10. But it sports the mid range 7xx series chipset.
              The MI 10/Mi 10 Pro has only been recently available out there. Covd19 has slowed down the shipping and buying. Once more developers get the phone, it will be optimized for SD865.

                Not having IP 67/68 for a flagship is embarrassing. If Apple, a company known for high margins, can get IP67 on a $399 SE, why can't Xiaomi get IP rating on its flagship phone?

                      Someone must say that the camera is much better than the pro. Especially the ultrawide at night is miles ahead.

                        Anonymous, 05 May 2020Gcam will take care of all those inconsistencies. AFAIK there's no gcam properly tuned for this particular 108MP isocell sensor yet. I saw some comparisons between Gcam and stock camera on Mi 10 & Mi Note 10, colours look off and very desaturated.

                            Anonymous, 04 May 2020Gorilla 5 , less than 400ppi, no IP rating, no sd slot, no ... moreNo need for useless 2x-3x optical zoom.
                            Since majority of 2x-3x telephoto lens on the market are behind small sensors giving average quality in daylight. At night, most manufacturers use the main sensor to give zoom.

                            108mp camera with 0.8 micron pixel size from 1/1.33" sensor is enough to deliver 12mp images with zoom equivalent to 3x optical.

                              Have digital zoom? How high?

                                The main camera on this phone is really weird. The overall lens quality is so much better than more expensive Mi 10 Pro, but the processing is more similar to Mi Note 10 and somewhat less mature than Pro version (if more natural). Its supurb texture rendition and lack of proper auto HDR make it closer to a dedicated compact camera rather than a smartphone camera, which I'm not sure is a good thing or not when it's, um, a smartphone camera. I prefer Mi 10 Pro's combination of slightly more processed looking details & great dynamic range over this. Still great, though, to be fair.

                                  Pixel density 386 is not good for a premium..and on a amoled screen. At the same resolution a lcd screen is more finished. In my mind, 400 ppi is a minimum on a amoled to have a clean and clear image quality

                                        Thanks for the review. I can get this phone for a good price so I was very interested in this phone. It is a good phone and I will very much consider buying it.
