Hi. I've just get the unit today. It was exynos and I find out the camera was truly bad at dim condition. Even when comparing s20 ultra to note 9, the note 9 picture was much better. I have update my s20 ultra firmware to the latest from Samsung.

Look at the face. The s20 ultra result was having what looks like compression artifact. But it's right out of the camera without any editing. This only happen in dim condition. And also this happens to face only since other than face there's no artifact at all.

S20 ULTRA

well for one thing it's blurry from the head moving. Second i agree it looks like $hit (no offense to your baby!)

I have no advice other than to say it's unbelievable we could pay $1400 for such an unfinished product..steadily I am losing more and more faith in samsung. At least you were able to get the camera to focus!
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] buddy66:
We all have similar issues and I think that all of us waiting for the next SW update are customers with a lot of faith. At least Samsung admitted it and if they cannot fix it with the next update then probably most of the phones will be returned.

did you know the 108 megapixel is not on by default? youll have to change the aspect ratio and before you take a picture it should show from the settings which megapixel you are using.

What? The post has nothing to do with (and no mention of) the 108mp mode.

---------- Post added at 05:02 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:01 AM ----------

They didn't admit anything. It was I think a Twitter post that said something like "Samsung is committed to delivering the best experience for their customers, blah blah blah constantly working to improve experiences for everyone."

It was generic like that
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] buddy66:
There was an answer to The Verge that they will work on to deliver the best camera experience. Yes it was generic but camera oriented and it is good that they responded.

I'm not talking about the 108mpx. Also the 108mpx didn't help with the pict quality.

For now the only solution is to use pro mode.

Have you turned off bixby scene optimizer? Watched a YT video earlier that claimed turning it off gets rid of the awful skin smoothing effects.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] Senjaya:
Yes I've try it. No luck at all. The skin smoothing still happening
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] buddy66:
I did a pic of myself after the ATBM update and my skin colour was the same as when I turned my head 90 degrees to the side. There was also no smoothing and I could see my pores and other natural stuff ;)
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] Senjaya:
Did you use your selfie or the main sensor?

If you are using main sensor, could you try using auto mode and Pro mode and share the result to here? Also cna you snap your picture in dim area, since I notice the processing occurred in a dim area was more aggressive than on a bright area.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] buddy66:
I have used the main sensor and it was at work during day time with not bad light conditions. I will give it a try in light dimmed area and give you feedback.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] Senjaya:
Thanks. And also try move your head slightly when you snap the photo. I'm interested on the result.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] jwwagner25:
This. I noticed in your first picture the hair on your child's head is blurry. I have a feeling what happened is there was motion in the photo and in trying to fix the motion created all of the weird artifact effect. you'll notice the hair from your note 9 photo is sharp and clear, likely because there was no motion while the photo was taken.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] Senjaya:
The movement was indeed making the artifact worsen. But it also happen in no movement condition.

S20 ultra bad image processing

In this pict, the baby wasn't moving much (minimal movement) .

Movement make it worse.

This picture was in very bright room, the child wasn't moving and the artefact still happening, and take a look at the woman on the background. The artefact was really annoying
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] jwwagner25:
Yes I agree. I just took a photo of the news on TV and the anchors faces look like oil painting. How could Samsung have screwed up this badly...it's really unbelievable. And how more people aren't making afuss, I also don't understand.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] Senjaya:
Yeah, I don't know what's going with the silence.

For now I'm using the pro mode with all settings set to auto. This way the picture processing won't happen and the picture was very good.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] Cristi10:
It seems that the artifacts come from very bad hdr stitching. Try to take some photos with scene optimiser and hdr off, although it would probably make very little difference. The reason some other phones like pixel and iPhone cand take better shots of moving subjects is because they use something called zero shutter combined with a faster shutter. It means that the phone takes a lot of pictures before the picture is taken. Now, Samsung also uses a buffer since s9 with dedicated dram for the camera but probably is much lower and their hdr stiching is not as smart as Google's for example (accounting for movement in the frame). After all this time you'd think Samsung would figure this out but not many companies do this sadly). Also the big sensor that gathers more light should allow the phone to use faster shutter and bigger iso without introducing much more noise ala huwei.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] stygi4n:
Hi,

It happens exactly the same with me. I took some pictures from faces and objects and it's crap - night shot or automatic mode.

I hope Samsung can fix this with updates.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] dazed1:
Reset camera to factory settings.

Use HEIF mode for pictures.

Try in pro mode.

Turn of bixby optimizer.

Same here, got the update but it doesn't fix the dim room performance, going to try it outdoors today and compare to the plus but as it stands, the plus in a dim room is far better than the ultra, no matter what settings are changed
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] dazed1:
Could you guys post some samples at imgbb?
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] Swimguy14:
What specifically is different? Just the focus that is better on the+, or colors as well?

on the side-by-side comparisons I did between the plus, ultra, and my S10 plus, it did seem like the 20 + had slightly less noise when just having the camera open in video mode but not recording. obviously the ultra was better than the S10 plus but it seemed slightly worse than the 20 plus in that regard.

[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] BetaPix:
Hello guys. This may sound stupid, but I don't remember if I was on global or EEA miui since the first day I unlocked my bootloader and switched to a custom aosp rom. When I realised I did have to look for it, I had already formatted data :D I could only assume I was on EEA because I received MIUI 11 on the first days of november, way before the global update. I have always flashed EEA vendors since then and I had no problems overall. But I would like to clarify this question once and for all. Is there a way to know, from imei or something like this, if I was on global or EEA?
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] :
and why would you really need to know if you had EEA or Global when both are almost the same?
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] BetaPix:
Because I've heard that cross-flashing vendors is wrong, so I would like to know if I've been wrong all the time or not :) But if they're the same nevermind
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] Robbo.5000:
If you've always flashed EEA without issues then continue with that. It sounds like you probably have the EEA phone.

There seems to be very little, if any, difference between EEA and Global, so it probably wouldn't make any difference which you flashed.

Cross flashing firmware and vendor isn't 'wrong', it's just that you increase slightly the potential for things to go wrong as we're not sure what differences there may exist in hardware. Although specs are identical (with the exception of missing NFC on the Indian phone) Xiaomi may have changed supplier for some components between the Chinese, Indian and EEA/Global phones. I've lumped EEA and Global together as these were released close together so probably were manufactured at the same time.
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] :
My phone came with EEA and I use Global and everything is fine.

Btw I've found that on EEA there are much more bugs than on Global
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] nuub1k:
EEA and IN are most bugfull
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] Aryamehr1366:
I bought my k20pro from a person who already had flashed a Xiaomi.eu ROM on it.

1. how should i know which version its vendor and firmware are. so i could find out which version should i install before flashing an AOSP ROM?

2. does a recovery update contain firmware/vendor?

3. what is the differences between Recovery and fastboot update? i mean what does fastboot update have that recovery update lacks?

[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] Aryamehr1366:
Thank you

I know that my phone is Chinese version

What I don't know however is:

1. What version of vendor or firmware my phone has

2. I believe a Xiaomi.EU version Rom is installed on my phone. But i don't know if i flash last global version of vendor and firmware on my Chinese version k20pro, what would happen?
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] :
Are you serious? :D if it's K20 Pro and origin is china than there was CHINESE FIRMWARE

If you have miui.eu it has chinese vendor and firmware is from stock so obv that chinese again.

What would happen? Bootloop or bootloop into fastboot.
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] Aryamehr1366:
oh i apologize :p .. i meant :

1. how should i know which version number (release/edition/date/...) of firmware and vendor my phone has?

2. it is probably chinese version i know by now. but would it be ok if i flash a last vendor/firmware release of global version? :confused:

3. would it be too harmful if i flashed an older edition of vendor/firmware by mistake? :silly:

thank you
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] :
you know it by MIUI version.

Why want you to reflash vendor in first place? Do you want to hard brick it? Will it be worth?? (reflashing vendor won't brick your phone but I can clearly see that you want to play with it like with a toy so I advice you to stay with the vendor you have)

No, phone is not a person. If you flash not compatible vendor it will simply throw up or will be stuck in Fastboot until you flash correct files, but I advice you again not to test it, it's not a toy and Xiaomi phone are very easy to brick even when you do something that shouldn't brick it.

I advice you simply use stock chinese Android 9 or latest MIUI 11 Android 10 version and don't play with it.

Also, you can flash stock global, BUT DON'T RELOCK THE BOOTLOADER.
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] Aryamehr1366:
Thank you for your effort and your advice

Ok Miui version is 11.2 Xiaomi.EU 20.2.27 I'm not sure but I don't think there is any 11.2 version for firmware/vendor.

I had Samsung and HTC Phones before. None of them had vendor partition because they weren't treble compatible

So I'd be appreciated if somebody including you my friend would tell me

1. the vendor version of my phone is 11.2 ??? If it's not, how should I know the exact version number?

2. Raphael is basically the same phone over different region except for radio frequency differential

So I could flash for example global version OR older Chinese version through TWRP (not flashing fastboot Rom by mi flash). Right?

This could be frustrating for you to answer my noob questions.I get it but I'm just worried that cross region vendor flash OR accidentally older version vendor flash could harm my beloved phone which indeed is not a toy.
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] :
almost everything yes but a bit wrong.

The vendor is updated almost in every update even when it's not public stable. vendor does not have version number because, why? It's bundled with Fastboot ROM, full-ota zip or, if need, with ota zip., so. As I said, you can flash every stock ROM, Chinese, Global and EEA even via Fastboot through MiFlash but DON'T RELOCK THE BOOTLOADER, because it will hard brick. Only re-lock the bootloader with your original region.

I suggest you to clean flash through MiFlash, because it's better, you can flash whatever region you want, but don't re-lock the bootloader. That's it. You can even flash older stock ROM (CN, IN, MI, EEA) because this phone doesn't have Anti Roll-back feature.

btw you can check vendors here https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/vendor/

for stock rom I suggest you to use https://mirom.ezbox.idv.tw/en/phone/ there are all published (even rolled back) Recovery and Fastboot ROMs with all available regions. You don't have to disable your AdBlock like in xiaomifirmwareupdater.com

I asked [MENTION=5640734]joshuah1971[/MENTION] on telegram. According to him, He said to check your box. you'll see a model number. ending with G: global. ending with E:eea. ending with R: russian

---------- Post added at 10:51 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:35 AM ----------

If the NFC is working. you have china. else Indian (both are k20p)

1. you'll know which vendor it is from that. (i said working. not saying if some app is checking if it's enabled. ROMs enable it. but RIN can't use it cause RIN doesn't have NFC chip)

2. yes. all miui and custom miui does.

3. fastboot just erases a bit more. recovery is fine too. fastboot is just better by a bit. doesn't really matter tbh. fastboot is more thorough in wiping that's all.

---------- Post added at 11:00 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:51 AM ----------

1. It has china vendor obviously. you can check your current vendor version in /vendor/build.prop file.

2. EU roms have modified china vendors. flashing gl vendor will just loop you back into recovery and won't boot into rom till you change back to cn vendor.

I advise you don't do that.
