No it can't. I have tried. Plus I'm hoping xiaomi does something about it. That's basically what I typed up there..


Did you see the part where I typed that even at maximum brightness it's still difficult to see? Check unboxing videos on YouTube. The unboxers have complained about the same thing. I think I do sort of understand the concept of automatic brightness fairly enough, I wouldn't be using it if I didn't.

Ok but it seem you are still on Miui 9.5 or so? Why not upgrade to Miui 10 and see if any difference? Attached is what the panel looks like now

Good to know you're well grounded on the Auto brightness thingy but have you tried testing the light sensors on the front panel to make sure it's working correctly?

Sincerely speaking, I've used my RN5 under the hottest and brightest Sun light without visibility issues... I might be wrong though

acekid109:
maximum brightness is about 450 nits, flagship phones from Samsung n co reaches about 800 nits in auto brightness when in sun. If you don use flagships b4, its quite obvious that the screen isn't that bright in sunlight. But for 200$ its good enough 200$ self no go buy some sammy replacement screen

LethargiQue:


Lol. I think this explains it now..


Well thank you

toniotonero:
I bliv a 13MP selfie on any device should b a hit, but d way some RN5 users are criticizing d selfie would even discourage others 4rm buying.. well by d time my RN5 i ordered land dis week i will know if truly d selfie is gud or not

Pixel 3 xl people go soon dey find modded gcam too

bily:


Yes o! Cos when our phones can take mind blowing pictures, the girls go dey rush us

But seriously, I hardly take personal pictures with my phone camera.. It's just for my wife and kids.. And gcam is a bit technical even in usage, so I didn't install it on my wife's phone. She's using her redmi note 5 as it is without any rooting /customisation cos I know she's not tech inclined and she won't be able to handle any issues that may result from tinkering with her phone.

She once asked me to install gcam, I just lied to her...that her phone does not support it. I already have so much to deal with, I don't want to add technical support for her phone to the list
She's using her phone and enjoying it. However, anytime we have s family outing, she always wants to take pictures, so we always default to gcam on my phone as the pictures are way better.

Also I think the outcome of pictures also has to do a lot with the person taking the pictures. Pictures I take with her phone is always better than the one she takes.

So those saying redmi note 5 camera is poo are actually doing something wrong.

ElvisMcCoy:
I take pictures on my Mi A1 and it comes out very well. It was even better than that of someone who took hers with S8+. Knowing what your camera app is made up of and how to use it matters a lot whether it is gcam or stock camera. Like you said, it has a lot to do with the person taking the picture. If you like install gcam or gcam plus, if. The person cannot take good pictures, the pertinent cannot take. No magic there. I'm not a camera person for starters so the stock camera is okay for me. I prefer performance over camera. After all, the YouTube tech reviews we all watch don't install Gcam to take pictures. Like some people rightly said. If you need the best of camera performance go for the flagships. No need to buy a Redmi Note 5 and complain that it doesn't take pictures as well as a Pixel or iPhone X that costs over 4 or 5 times the price. I bought the Note 5 for four of my colleagues at the office as they loved my Mi A1 and none of them have come to complain about the camera. Majority of us are just not satisfied with what we have that all...

Do not discourage people from buying what they desire.

But how is he discouraging them?

bily:


Can you point me to where I discouraged anyone from buying what they desire? I would like to see it. Maybe I'm just ignorant or forgetful

ElvisMcCoy:
Billy isn't discouraging them. I'm saying this based on the fact that some people on this thread have rendered the Redmi Note 5 stock camera app useless if you don't use gcam. Even Gcam still comes with technicalities as Billy rightly said. Trust us Nigerians, once someone complains about a device be it camera or battery, we won't buy that device or we won't do research about the Device. I simply buy my device once I've done my research. There is no perfect phone. You can't expect a phone less than $200 to have the best of everything surely there must be some cut corners. Even the flagships have their cons...

Giby:







which miui and android version is this

bigtt76:
Way to go man! The only issue I have with the camera is when I take shots through an app like Whatsapp, it comes out blurry compared to taking it directly on the phone's camera app.

bigtt76:
Nice but I love mine dark and simple. No to much decorations of icons

Did you enable the full screen display option? I did and I'm enjoying it to bits gives me more screen area.

hardeycute:
If yours is dark, what can I call mine?

lilclin:
I'm not saying Rn5 cam is bad... What i mean is the stock cam makes it bad... Especially the selfie cam... beauty mode is enabled by default and can't be turned off
