Redmi Note 5 Pro/Ai Global V10.2.2.0.OEIMIXM and photo comparison

Xiaomi just rolled out a new update for the Redmi Note 5 Pro/Ai Global. This V10.2.2.0.OEIMIXM firmware could probably be the last stable update on Oreo before moving on to Android Pie.

The change log only shows a new Android security patch, do not be surprised if there were some bug fixes.

Camera

Below are some sample photos and comparison, before and after the firmware update. I'll be comparing photos between V10.2.1.0.OEIMIXM and V10.2.2.0.OEIMIXM. I did not test the front facing camera.

All photos are taken in:

1. Auto mode ( unless stated otherwise ).
2. Picture quality is set to HIGH.
3. Contrast, saturation and sharpness is Normal ( unless stated otherwise ).
4. All photos are taken about 50cm away; phone is placed on a fixed stand and position.
5. Auto exposure setting is Center-weighted.
6. Lighting is considered below average lighting condition. This test has less light intensity than my previous tests.

Redmi Note 5 Pro/Ai Global Gets MIUI 10 V10.0.2.0.OEIMIFH update

Xiaomi started rolling out the V10.0.2.0.OEIMIFH stable ROM update for Redmi Note 5 Pro/Ai Global. Android security patch level is the same as previous update.

The Whatsapp app icon badge is fixed. I have no idea what's that camera fix is about on the changelog.

Camera

Below are some sample photos I've taken before and after the firmware update. I'll be comparing photos between V10.0.2.0.OEIMIFH and V10.0.1.0.OEIMIFH. I did not test the front facing camera as I rarely use it.

All photos are taken in:

1. Auto mode ( unless stated otherwise )
2. Picture quality is High
3. Contrast, saturation and sharpness is Normal
4. All photos are taken 45 cm away( from the nearest object ); phone is placed on a fixed stand and position.
5. Auto exposure settings is center-weighted.
6. Light intensity near the objects are about 160 lux ( measured with Lux Meter by Doggo apps ). So it's considered below average lighting condition.

V10.0.1.0.OEIMIFH, flash auto, HDR auto.

V10.0.2.0.OEIMIFH, flash auto, HDR auto.

The white balance is adjusted using the white tip on the jewel-shaped puzzle as a reference, giving the image a subtle overall improvement.

Flash auto, HDR auto. ISO 400, shutter speed 1/25.

V10.0.1.0.OEIMIFH, flash auto, HDR On.

V10.0.2.0.OEIMIFH, flash auto, HDR On.

Flash off, HDR On. ISO 400, shutter speed 1/25.

V10.0.1.0.OEIMIFH, portrait mode.

V10.0.2.0.OEIMIFH, portrait mode.

Photos below are taken in darker condition with some light source from another room. Light intensity is about 15 lux. 

V10.0.2.0.OEIMIFH, flash off, HDR off.

Flash off, HDR off.

V10.0.2.0.OEIMIFH, flash off, HDR On.

Flash off, HDR On.

The HDR on RN5 seems to have a big impact in low light conditions, so make sure you turn HDR on when taking photos in those conditions.

Firmware and ROM confusion

Due to various variants released and confusing naming scheme by Xiaomi, it is not easy to know which is the correct ROM for your phone. To clear the confusion here is a list.

India ROM
V9.2.7.0.NEIMIEK
V9.5.3.0.NEGMIFA
V9.5.4.0.NEGMIFA

China ROM
V9.5.4.0.OEICNFA
V9.5.12.0.OEICNFA

Global ROM
V9.5.6.0.OEIMIFA

Do not download and flash V9.2.7.0.NEIMIEK on your Global version. I'm have no idea why Xiaomi decided to put that up on their download page.

The V9.5.6.0.OEIMIFA Global ROM was leaked previously on the MIUI forums but was later taken down by the forum admin. This same ROM is officially available on the Indonesia and Malaysia sets. Indonesia sets had V9.5.5.0.OEIMIFA out of the box.
