Is not just MP diff. Is the sensor design, lense type, aperture size, pixel size etc

Redmi Note 5 China
Rear: Samsung 12MP S5K2L7,
1.4μm Rear Camera, f/1.9 Aperture +

Samsung 5MP S5K5E8
1.12μm, f/2.0 Aperture

Front: Omnivision 13MP OV13855
1.12μm, f/2.2 Aperture
________________________________________
Redmi Note 5 Pro India

Rear: 12MP Sony IMX 486
1.25μm, f/2.2 Aperture +

5MP Samsung s5k5e8
1.12μm, f/2.0 Aperture

Front: 20MP Sony IMX 376
1.0μm, f/2.2 Aperture

As you can see especially the Sony IMX 376 camera is a proven camera used in Samsung (don't support their own camera???)
and other brands flagship phones. China version use the Samsung and OV sensors, although you can argue pixel size and
aperture slightly favorable here.

Real-life results most likely negligible with each version has it own pros n cons. So don't really matter, but I think likely M'sia
will get the China version.

For front cam, the imx376 got a slightly bigger sensor. Most likely will perform better than the OV with air, but close.

For rear cam, China variant wins hands down

bigger sensor is alwayz better then bigger mp.

big sensor mean better low light iq and faster shutter.

Just saw on FB ...

Got link to their lazada store but cannot find the item. Anyone knows price for the 3/32gb and the 4/64gb? Cheapest AP set i saw on lazada was RM969 for 4/64gb

haha itchy to replace RN2. Lazada birthday sale day after RN5 launch. Extra discount?

btw is Redmi Note 5 same as Redmi 5 Plus?

GSMarena says the "microSD, up to 128 GB (uses SIM 2 slot)" ?? that mean cannot do 2 sim cards??

wait, mayb a2 next week announce

if u wan dual sim, and dont wan cut ur sdcard
lazada got ppl selling external sim module

actually what is the meaning of 1.4um and f/1.9? the bigger number the better?

for the 1.4 μm..

The technology behind the design of the CMOS sensor can affect the light gathering properties of each individual pixel, but the easiest way to compare is just by going on size. A camera with 1.4 micron pixels captures twice the light (per pixel) of one with 1.0 micron pixels, calculated by comparing difference in total area. Another way of saying this is that the 1.4 micron sensor is one stop brighter.

copied from https://www.techspot.com/guides/850-smartph...ware/page2.html

for f/1.9 its the aperature, the lower the better, as more lights gets into the sensor, thus giving better lighting picture in darker areas.

thanks for the explaination...really appreciate it!

Indonesia getting China Version

yup.

I read somewhere IMX363 was used for the rear cam as well, specs equivalent to the samsung sensor.

So it will be 2 version.. 3gb with 32gb and 4gb with 64gb eh..
IDR 2.999.000 for the 4gb version)..

After taking into taxes.. price should range from rm900-1000 perhaps...

As long it remains below RM1000 is ok for Malaysian.. Really like the blue color so much..

i guess no 6gb version will be launch over here

woho. nice. hopefully got same spec here.

maybe need to wait.
or they scared it might kill the other mi phone sales.
xD

looks like the rumor is not going to happen

most likely u need get ap set
if wait til they release here, is already almost 1year
