I have had a Redmi Note 9, that I as very pleased with, so much so, that when the screen broke, I was happy to upgrade to the Redmi note 12 Pro+ G5!

I expected an upgrade to an already great phone (except for the forced ads and bloatware), but besides that, i felt that I was going from a middle range phone, to a newer and better phone within the series (based on all the"pro", “+” and “G5” that my previous did not have)

I must admit though, than now after I have been using it for a while I don’t feel that it is a better phone. I love the super fast 120W charging but that is about all that I love with this phone…

In particular the camera is my greatest issue and the reason why I am looking for answers

On my Redmi Note 9, when I filmed video, it had an image stabilization that worked quite well. On Redmi Note 12, I can’t see this. I film at 720 or 1080 with 30FPS, as this is the range that my Redmi Note 9 allowed images stabilization for.

I could make much better footage with the Note 9, than I can with the 12 Pro+ !

Anybody experienced the same, or maybe even have a fix for this?

    Try installing using gcam instead of the default camera app.

      Thanks! I actually now have installed a camera app from F-Droid called open camera that works a lot better!

      I am just surprised that xiaomis own cam is worse that its previous version
