Third message in a row: yes, as soon as I'll see a video comparing ISP-processed RAW with actual RAW video on iPhone 17 Pro, I'll link it here. From what I've seen from actual RAW photos (such as from Bayer Cam), the sensor mode exposed for third party apps is a quite clean 12-bit, likely not through LN2/LN4 or DCG, but through 12-bit ADC mode (so not best DR-wise, but nice). This may end up with better results even in a static scenery. At smaller file size.

Fourth (sorry): all this is a really good news for mobile Linux. Software ISP prove itself through different codebases and through different operating systems and hardware. We may add a watt or few to camera operation, but mere access to RAW stream combined with swISP running on GPU can let us skip tons of reverse engineering.

Google has an amazing itch for an antitrust. Have all these entities agreed out of their own will? What would it give them?

DJI Action 5 Pro is worth buying and hopefully DJI won't decide to make it no longer worth buying

Just don't rush to do that, I'm waiting for usable details. A friend was able to enter sahara, but the firehose we had or the environment wouldn't work.

Confirmed indeed unfused, you can buy.
Any authles sm8550 (kailua) melf firehose will work.

Enjoy the safety and honesty of Google Play.

If you've been wondering if under-display cameras are really that bad without processing (no algo to remove the flares), here's Nubia Z80 Ultra. Please view on an Ultra HDR device to avoid the dull look (although I aimed to nullify local tone mapping also for SDR).

Their asterisk people must've had a sleepy day because IMX586 is capable of PD-less 4000x2256@120

They actually have very useful regional FAQ pages that slip normally poorly available details about their devices, but this is not one of them.

In totally unrelated news, Light Fusion 950 is indeed OV50Q and one of the cheapest Redmis has 3 different main camera sensor suppliers (not just module!), all with different image format (from 1/2.5" to 1/2.96") and FoV (from 74.4° to 79°), not to mention 4 different panel vendors.

A tale of a friend sir,

My friend visited restaurant recently, he eat food and about to pay.
He was using kind of keybox and suddenly app wasn't opening.
He called lot of people to pay online, but nobody pick-up phone.

Got badly trashed manhandled by guards.

Fortunately I callback him at main point and pay his bill.

If you use banking apps regularly.
Please avoid crom.

Happy end:

In india, it's becoming very normal to pay via phones.

He got his lesson and now using cash.
Still didn't gone to stock btw
😂

The recent root-getting vulnerability that one-shots everything is not to be messed with. If you want to bl unlock, stop your OTAs. If you don't want to get compromised by a single compromised application (like outdated browser), you better install them. It's not getting the "deserved media attention", hence I'm not rushing with (publicly available) details, so I'll repeat myself:
- Want bl unlock or temp root? Don't update.
- Want to install suspicious or insecure applications? Update.

Yes, it needs device-tailoring, but it seems like this process is gonna progress fast from now on.
