Just got the MI 9T in the USA AMA - Redmi K20 / Xiaomi Mi 9T Questions & Answers

I am using it on ATT and have 3g hspa+. I can watch Youtube and Netflix. I have installed a 3rd party launcher with app drawer. I also installed the Gcam mod from the MI 9 forum and it is fantastic.

I'm about to bite the bullet for the Mi 9T very soon. Could you show some picture samples with the Gcam mod, I want to see how much better the google camera will make it on this device. In addition, how's the battery life in terms of SOT?

Too soon to tell about battery life. I will upload some pics later.

Does it hold up to its hype?

First day using at work. I work in a box store that has a metal roof. I was surprised by the cell reception. There are LTE bands on this phone that are not in the specs. I used LTE Discovery app and I found that this phone works on Straightalk (ATT) bands 2,4 and 5. I was able to use LTE data for my entire workday. I had 3hrs SOT with 64% battery at the end of my workday. I am pleased with the battery life and connectivity so far.

Coming from a Mate 20X the smaller size was the biggest challenge . I use a 3 party launcher and excluded a few key apps from it's agressive battery management.

Mate 20x looks impressive why did you decide on the 9T instead.?

Netflix in HD?
Can you check and tell if Netflix is running in HD or not?
You can search for the "test pattern", play the video and wait for few seconds and tell us the resolution it shows on the top.
Thank you!

Can you address the lack of the Laser Auto Focus in the camera compared to the k20 pro ... Have you encountered any trouble with the focus while using the camera?

It certainly should.. the MI 9T is advertised on their website with Netflix HD and HDR support.

Hi there.
Can u share which one mi9 apk that works great on Mi 9T? i prefer gcam that can switch between 3 camera and working night sight if possible
Also, Mi 9T is using UFS 2.1 or emmc? no info about the storage type in the gsmarena

can someone please list of all the bands 3g and LTE on the 9T model, i am looking to get this in canada

No offense but this wide angle shoot is quite disappointing or rather say inferior. Looking at the edges of the screen especially. Too bad, I'm still thinking buying this phone as the main camera should rock.

Lg2 camera settings

What have you guys found is the best camera settings for non outdoor sunny settings)- auto, normal, auto flash, sports? Night?
Can't figure it out?
Also, is it best to hold and let camera multi focus? Or tap screen to focus

the time it takes to focus makes any moving shots impossible. anyone aware of solution to this?
I wish. It's to the point where I'm ready for a new phone already. The camera is a joke on this phone, unless you are taking landscape still photos. Anything with motion and you have no chance.

Yeah I found this out very quickly when trying to take pictures of my little nephew running around the place. Not one usable pic of about 25 I took, very disappointing.
On a related note I presume once the viewfinder boxes go green that means it has focused?

Try Fast Burst Camera. I tried it out on my daughter and it worked much better than the LG Camera.

I guess I am not sure what everyone expects? To me, I am amazed I get the quality I see from a phone. This is far better than the Motorola we have in the house, an S3 and bionic, and far better than my Galaxy Nexus. I am pleased. Of course I suck at photography. It is also as good as my Nikon point and shoot digital camera though it is getting dated.

Awesome shots. Like I said, I am not seeing most of the issues people state or my eye is just not photography trained. My thoughts are people just expect too much from a phone point and click. Here are some shots of my dog trotting outside on a very overcast morning. Almost dark.

I guess i am expecting a little better with moving subjects as they really push that in this commercial - i am getting nothing like this. Most of mine are like the ones they show "other" cameras doing. I dont do any special settings - and i get same results no matter if i am in iA Mode or not.

Initially I found the LG G2 camera very disappointing, but ever since I flashed the modded one, my results have improved dramatically.
Yes, you have to be rooted, but at least this proves that it's a software issue, not a hardware issue!
Cheers!
i just use stock and it works great every time
For sue LG G2 camera is really good, far better than my previous SGS3, BUT also for sure as soon as sun is not here (inside for example), you cannot ake sharp picture of moving things (children...)
That is really disapointing!!!

Finow Q1 Pro, it's a square watch available from Finow's store on Aliexpress at the moment, same spec by the looks of it as the Microwear H5, tempted to get one as I really liked the original Finow Q1
Q1 PRO seems better at the battery is bigger 720 mah vs 600 mah H5
H5 is better in camera, it has 5mp vs 2mp Q1 PRO
Q1 PRO is smaller then H5

Absolutely if you like a front facing camera (Q1 Pro) instead of a camera that points to the sky (H5). Yes it actually points to the sky not forward or front.

Yup, got mine the other day, so far so good.
The UI is really good, it even has a full 'stock' settings menu like a regular phone.
My only criticism so far would be that with stock launcher you cannot add Clock skins, however if it is a 'must' for some users then Eric's clock skin launcher on Play store works fine with it.
Only had it a couple of days so not had much of a chance to test it out much, but it seems the battery is holding up good so far.
All in all I would consider it a great purchase! :good:
Good to hear it's going well. Considering buying one for my son. He's 11 and needs a way to stay in touch with me. Don't really want him to have to carry a full sized phone around.
How's the build quality?
How small does the band go?
I've been reading about people having trouble with the magnetic charging system not working on various phones because of problems with sweat/oil getting on the contacts. Hopefully you don't run into that issue!
I can't find any reviews of the watch on YouTube. If you're quick you could be the first

Hi, the Finow pictures only shown "Frequency Band" WCDMA: B1(2100mhz)/B2(1900mhz)/B8(900mhz). Does this watch support B5(850mhz) and can we set the screen resolution size to 320 for this watch?

No idea on the band frequency to be honest, and screen resolution 320?
Edit: using MTK Engineer App displays:
GSM Mode:

WCDMA-IMT-2000
WCDMA-PCS-1900
WCDMA-GSM-900
LTE Mode
Band 3
Band 7
Band 20
Band 39
Band 40
Band 41
Don't know if this helps or not?
screen resolution can be set on build. prop - it is currently set at 120
Thanks for your information, I have confirmed with Finow that this watch does not support B:850mhz.

hard to answer as people use their devices differently.
But I get 2 days on a full charge with light/normal use, however I work from home, so only have WiFi on airplane mode on as I don't need calls at home, general use is checking messages, social media, a few video's etc

Hi, I just received mine and am in mixed mood state.
The watch has improved compare to the original model except the screen (240x240) and thickness but the software seems unfinished.
Some bugs are really embarrassing and I hope we will get some updates :
- Sometimes Wifi disconnect and I must reboot my net box to get it work again ! It could be related to the "NVRAM WARNING" problem (Wifi connections list)
- Phone is working but I am unable to connect in 4G/3G (France) and to set any network parameters.
- Push notifications dont come to the watch.
Did someone get rooting this device ?
Sry for my English !
Problemm !
Hi , is there any app for running that measured heart rate and distance with good visuall on the screen ?
Google fit allways crashes , and i didn't find any good app with good visual ?

but it takes really long to take 1 picture, only tested in really low light conditions with flashlight on.
now tested in daylight, there is isnt real difference in speed to take picture.
by my opinion bsg doesnt have so vivid colours as arnova. some difference in details for some pictures in favour to arnova in some to bsg
faster in low light conditions in general with bsg, better colours with arnova.

Photo quality

Say "cheese", then rate this thread to express how photos taken with the Asus Zenfone 5V come out. A higher rating indicates that photos offer rich color (without over-saturating), sharp detail (with all subjects in-focus), and appropriate exposure (with even lighting).
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
Bokeh is great and the best is the second camera being a wide angle lens. This is amazing for landscape!
Score to dxomark= 90 so very good APN.

Gcam for zenfone 5Z?
Hi guys! I find that the stock camera is ok in the daylight. During the night or without much lights there is a lot of distortion (which is, of course, quite popular for every smartphone). So I want to try Gcamera for the 5Z.

Well, with Gcam you can take awesome pictures in daylight and low light conditions, but during night ASUS camera is better (especially awesome if you have a tripod).

You need this gcam: GCam from BSG v. 5.2.022_1.0
Unfortunately you can't use the wide angle camera with GCam.

Well, with Gcam you can take awesome pictures in daylight and low light conditions, but during night ASUS camera is better (especially awesome if you have a tripod).

I had force closes with other GCam versions, but no problems with this one.

The main camera is okay. The wide angle lens is quite poor in quality. I tried both. The wide angle lens has noticeable pixelation on the sides like it's a photo quality from a 2012 flagship. Kinda disappointed with it actually.
Wide angle one is also good in quality...not like the primary camera but still wide angle camera held it's own

Potrait mode producing picture with absurd hue
Anyone notice the zf5 front camera doesn't have AF feature ? or is it just mine ? and it's super over exposure makes it quite laggy
Previously I was iPhone user, if i compare the camera ZF5 have too much artificial intelegent smoothing retouch on human skin even when I'm not using beauty mode and it's kinda fake in compare to my iPhone 6
Go to camera settings and verify that 'continuous AF' option is checked.
I have tried almost every G cam available but all gives tint-blue/purple colour. I have also tried Gcams for OP6 with tint fixes but they force close in my asus zenfone 5z. Any help ?

Any noticable change after the latest update few days ago?
Can we have a thread where we can share the photos amongst us?
Mods?

I haven't noticed anything in camera after the recent update (build ww_80.11.37.95.20180727), it was just a 65mb OTA. Everything still same except battery life. Battery backup seems to be screwed, not sure if there was some bug.

Camera2 API support?

Does this phone have it?
If yes, is the support enabled by default? Or do we need to root and enable it later by editing the build.prop?
Can someone with this phone post a screenshot of this app? https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.weis.camera2probe
Hi awaaas,
Looking for this phone too? I have created the lounge at kaskus, you might want to check it out. Reminds me of old days.
Unfortunately, no C2A support yet, at least not in the demo unit.

Long time no see, bud... :highfive:
One of my relatives wants this phone, just want to make sure some of the phone's capabilities that reviewers often left out. For comparison, Redmi Note 5 Pro, the one that compared to this phone a lot, has Camera2 API support, but only if you edit the build.prop first (according to my friend that have it, I don't actually have that phone).
For me myself, I might will be still using my Mi 5s for foreseable future...

:highfive: Yeah, probably several years.
If me, it is me myself who are looking for this phone. RN5P still disabled the C2A, need (temporary) root to enable it. Same with this phone, if no C2A support out of box, at least we can enable it using the same method. But there is a rumour about major OTA update at 30 April. We expect to see a lot of improvement compared to the somewhat "beta" ROM from the media review unit. Let's hope to see the C2A has been enabled in this major update.

Haven't seen it anywhere yet. Only the 4K DCI/UHD and the 1080p has EIS already in the retail unit. The camera app seems will be updated tomorrow to support it. Hopefully, we can see the C2A support too in the next update.
Gcam will not work without camera api2 ! Let's wait and see...
Hope they will update to add support soon. Don't let the stock camera app be the limiting factor of image quality!
I hope someone comes with a GCam port for this phone. As far as what I tested, the phone's rear cam is quite good (except for very low light scenarios).
Also, the front cam desperately needs better balance in colors, dynamic range. Currently, selfie quality is quite decent, the colors are not accurate/natural even under good light (skin has a red tinge). And overall, brightness, noise level etc., could be tweaked a bit too.
Any suggestions for a different app that can bring out better photos out of the front cam??

Is this the default settings? or do you need to edit the build.prop?

Hey Aniket, thanks for the SS, can you install this Camera2 API Probe https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.airbeat.device.inspector app, actually, in this app its gives the individual camera parameters for both front & back camera & earlier the app link that I gave, that shows the overall result so basically it was my bad so I'm requesting you to install this app instead now this time & ost the SS once again as I want to know all the parameters for both of the cam of this hone individually.
& is it possible to install Gcam in this hone without rooting or is there any tools available like this MI A1's AIO Toolhttps://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a1/how-to/tool-xiaomi-mi-a1-tool-drivers-unlock-t3742857 so that it can be rooted & unlocked automatically & that can be used by all the novice users, & whether all future OTA updates will be available if bootloader is unlocked & rooted & warranty will be voided or not
