Google Pixel has the same sensor as the Mi 5S and better software optimization.
It gets killed by the Samsung Galaxy S7 in terms of video and low light performance, it's kinda a bit useless to have such a big sensor if you can't keep it open, the Galaxy S7 gets a longer shutter speed and because of that has better low light performance.
The lack of OIS also sucks in video, even the Pixel has the jello effect that is worse than no stabilization in my opinion.
I was just taking the Pixel instead of the Mi 5S since the Pixel has a much better software optimization, the sensor really shines in photos in decent light. But it isn't as good as other sensors in anything else unless you use a gimball. Someone really should make a review with a gimball, I think the results will be awesome.
Of course it will get killed cause it has an apperture of 2.0 whilst the S7 has 1.7
Which means better low light performance
My G4 roasts my Xiaomi mi5s in camera performance but everything else is just what i needed as an update .
(Sometimes the mi5s takes better pics under daylight, better accuracy in color than the g4)
My g4 has 700mb free ram out of 3gb
808 is hungry for battery barely lasts 4h on screen time
Have h815 with official bootloader unlock and still cannot unlock it cause it is SEA device
The phone lags like hell in multi tasking, gets hot to that point where i cannot hold it anymore.
If you want a good performance in low light with the camera then don't choose budget devices, go for the ones where u will spend more than you should or do the wisest choice, buy a freaking DSLR and never complain about photos.
And yes, xiaomi has to work on it's camera software, it isn't optimized
