    I forgot also, the mi 6 has imx 386 not imx 363
    Well maybe the mi mix 3 is a bit better on night,
    But imw 586 and 582 are used in some 2019 flagships like the mi 9 and oneplus 7.... And poco f3 with the better isp should be great even without the 60fps in 4k
    And with gcam it will compete with 2020 flagship in camera, gcam improves the quality tremoundsly (sorry for my bad english) especially in night and in zoom and ultra wide
    Also if we consider the price of the poco f3, I think that it compete with other phone, you cannot except a 108mpx with ois at that price point (well, except redmi note 10 pro and realme 8 pro but still...), still the cameras are good for the price not the best but still good,
    But everything other than cameras are 1000$ flagship level from display first to the soc to build quality to vibration motor and stereo speakers and design and just everything it even has better soc, battery, charging speed, build quality (glass back) than the 1000 $ s21 (the price of launch)

        It really deserves double of its price, especially shots with the 48mpx, they are very good even without gcam its one of the best cameras on 2019, and has the best soc and a very beautiful super amoled
        And with google camera its really in another level
        I am not really a camera man, I love playing games, and the sd 855 is top

Amazing phone and the camera during daylight great with normal software, during night with google camera app. S20 is better, but for the price of 280 Euro, crazy good. I miss Xiaomi offering such good phones for the price. I also loved the size, 6" is too small and 6.8" is too big.

                    This is basically a Poco F3 with double price tag.

                      The OS in one of the pictures says "Pull down on the right to open Control Center", bruh they just cannot get enough of iOS haha

                      ***not an iOS fanboy (or a fanboy of any company for that matter)

                          Second of all I compared Mi 9t pro (IMX586) against Poco F1 (IMX363) and Poco F1 has the better sensor, even without OIS.
                          It is faster to focus and needs lower ISO for same exposure (meaning it has better light sensitivity).

                          Mi8 with brighter lens and OIS for sure it's better than Poco.

                          You can check this detailed comparison with Mi mix3 (also imx363) and mi 9
                          https://www.notebookcheck.net/Mi-series-camera-comparison-Xiaomi-Mi-9-vs-Xiaomi-Mi-9-SE-vs-Xiaomi-Mi-Mix-3.420204.0.html

                          In daylight they were similar, but you expect any camera to be good in daylight.
                          Mi Mix did clearly better in low light.

                            Especially because the sd 870 has a better isp than the one on the sd 845

                              Imx 582 is the same as imx 586 except that it is 4k30fps instead of 4k60fps
                              Wich means the poco f3 should have about the same quality as the mi 9 on the main sensor except the the 4k 60fps
                              Here I talk only about the main sensor
                              And even with the mi 8 having ois
                              The mi 9 still scored better in dxomark and only 3 points less than the s10 or s10+ (I forgot wich one of these 2)
                              You can use google camera, it does magic, it can make a phone that worth 280$ compete in cameras with phones that are sometimes more than double the price

                                MI 8 had better sensor and OIS.
                                Not to mention an actual useful second camera - telephoto.

                                        Info, 07 Apr 2021S20 FE is much more expensive in some countries than the pr... more...in my country the vanilla version of S21 costs $900.00 and the S20 FE costs $649.99 (the best price we can get for 6GB RAM/128GB version)...so far the POCO F3 still is a better option (even with lesser quality photos and not including reverse charging and IP68 protection)
