[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Questions & Answers] witch30954:
Been reading about this phone since it came out and finally bought it last week and installed Gcam immediately. I used BSG's V1plusplus version (currently the latest) and set it as my default camera. By the way, I tried using the stock camera for one day but photos in Gcam came out far superior. Here are my thoughts about the Gcam and RN7 as a whole.

1) First of all, the details from gcam shots are mind blowing for a phone that cost me $200. Hands down, I have no regrets in buying this phone.

2) All features of the Gcam functions well, which is impressive.

3) The default settings on the Gcam produces well exposed and balanced shots. It appears colder for my liking so I tinkered it in the settings: Saturation +1 for back cam, -1 for front cam (front cam is quite saturated....again, for my liking). I recommend to set it according to your preference. I continued shooting with those settings until I got my hands to my friends' phone (Iphone X and Huawei P20 pro).

4) I started comparing the shots took from 3 phones and man, this phone is a beast. In comparison to Iphone X, gcam came out far superior especially in the exposure and details. Especially at night time in the bar, this phone outperformed the Iphone X. We're not even talking about Night Sight yet. I just want to note that Iphone's shutter speed is a beast of different level.

5) Now comparing it with the P20 pro, I have to say that this phone put up a good fight in terms of the overall shot quality. Gcam shots are already near the level of the P20 pro but the P20 Pro exposes and renders the details better. I also have to commend the shutter speed of the P20 pro.

6) Talk about the portrait mode, its good on its own and the blur looks realistic compared to huawei. Details are the same as I discussed above.

7) Night sight compared to Huawei's Night mode is also good though its not on the same level. Huawei's came out better but not far. Quality difference is marginal and can only be observed if you zoom in specific high contrast sections (like neon logos).

8) For the video quality, I can say that this is better than huawei but inferior to iphone (Iphone and Galaxy rule the video quality segment). Stabilization is really impressive though you can observe some focus hunting especially if you move your camera a lot. My advice is to do your best to move or pan the camera properly or smoothly in taking videos.

9) For the front camera, all i can say is it is flagship level. It easily beats the quality of P20 Pro in terms of exposure and details. Its on the same level as the iphone though it performed better in some shots. Motion control and Night Sight are the mvp here which enable RN7 to outperformed the other devices in the from camera segment.

Overall, RN7 on gcam is already in the flagship level camera performance. It blew me away on its performance and it can do better on the post-processing side (edit using Google photos is enough at the minimum). I just have to note that you may find the shutter speed a little slow compared to flagship phones, so do your best to steady your hands when taking shots (not a bad thing, just worth noting especially the lack of OIS in the back cam). Btw, my previous phone is Iphone 6s+. That's all. Peace!
