Audio recording on Xiaomi/Redmi devices is abysmal

Just a fair warning for those who consider buying one. Sound in videos is limited to 96 kbit/s mono. While there is a mod that allows audio tracks to be recorded with 320 kbit/s on paper, it doesn't change the quality whatsoever. This affects the Note series and some Mi phones (for instance the Mi 9), not sure about more expensive devices.

To put it in perspective, my 8 year old Xperia Sola manages to record better sound than my 2020 200€ Redmi Note 9S.

[Quick comparison between the two phones...

Reevaluating the value of Flagships now that GCam is more accesible

So I got a mid-range Galaxy and its camera is terrible. However I downloaded GCam and it took spectacular photographs, even with the front camera! Literally one of the best photos I've ever taken was using GCam portrait mode on the front camera.

My main reason for wanting Flagship phones are the camera. I always thought that camera hardware was the main determinant of a phone's photo quality but GCam proved otherwise. So if you can get great quality pictures on a mid-range phone, are Flagships ...
