I mean premium earphones and headphones are still far better than chink shit

but you're looking at spending up to a few hundred just to outdo what a couple of chinks do in their small ass factory

that they're selling for $10-20

Hey friends

I just hope that the chinks will step up their camera game in their budget phones.
I'd love to own a Xiaomi phone, if the cameras weren't meh

also, Hi

Anyone else here use an Oppo phone? I got an R7s a few weeks ago and its pretty good

Not anyone that I've heard of

>budget phones

>camera

top kek

you gotta step up if you want good cameras

then you'll have to worry about their shity camera calibrations

that plague even the high end models

(speaking as someone who bought a top end chink phone with a good camera)

It's not unthinkable that in 3 years, the cameras will actually be good.
I mean, they're doing everything else brilliantly, surely they can figure something out, given enough time.

they order their parts from sony

sony makes the best camera for mobiles

and that's what all the top camera phones use

just get a cheappo phone and get a DSLR

is my advice

the chinks have no clue on how to handle cameras, look at the lack of chink digital cameras and video cameras

But I don't want to carry around a DSLR. The greatest thing about my current phone is the camera.

Well, maybe when the chinkphone cameras get good *enough* I may consider getting a chink phone and a DSLR.

redmi 3 is great though

basic and does everything right

Yeah, it's great.
But it's not relevant for me right now anyway.
By the time I'll need a new phone, they'll have released several more impressive phones, which I'll probably buy.

phones are at a diminishing return return

they really cant release anymore new features

other than battery life

and camera.

cameras are at a level where they cant improve any longer without advances in lens technology

or making the lens bigger sacrificing the size of the phone

Of course, but the chinks can work on putting better cameras in their phones, while keeping the price low.

requires more resources

chinks just need to steal the blueprints

@tablecat >I don't want to carry around a DSLR
Don't, carry around anything from a used some years old high end compact to a MILC and you'll pretty much have DSLR quality that's somewhat pocketable

(pro) Cameras are at a level now that is incredible yet slightly flawed. Resolution is like Anon123 said absurdly high, so high that it's more than all but the sharpest high quality (and priced) lenses can't handle it. Some niche cameras are literally near military nightvision tier in light gathering - though never combined with high resolution. In-body that works really well stabilisation is also somewhat newly developed yet fucking amazing. Question is how miniaturising this will go. As far as I'm concerned phone cameras have all the resolution they deserve, and the view should be shifted towards larger photon receptors or whatever it's called so that the low light performance is dramatically improved.

But sensor technology and high end lens manufacturing is far too complex for chinks, even if the could get ahold of the blueprints.

Hell my phone pics take forever to upload already. I dont need 20mp images

Downscale them and they'll look sharper
Most phones now have higher resolution than their lens can actually provide. Hence why it looks a bit blurry at 100%
