Update!!!!!!

Thanks so much for your input guys.

So last night, I downloaded a gcam app and opened it.
Well, it's a bit old with limited features but it wasn't crashing at all.
It had slow motion for the back camera which couldn't change from 120fps.
No slow mo for front facing camera tho and a poor video quality for front facing camera.
Back camera gave very sharp images, but the portrait mode isn't working.
Front camera gives dark images after taking a picture, unless you snap without hdr ( I mean, what is gcam without its hdr).
Front camera takes excellent selfies, that are very sharp and gcam quality immediately you take a picture with the back camera.
Ie: if you open the gcam app and try to take pictures with front cam immediately, you'll get dark images, but if you first take a shot with the back camera, then change it to the front camera and take pictures, you'll see your pictures and not dark images.
So far, I don't know if I can cope with it that way or I should look for another one.
But those are my observations so far.
The major cons are the bad front camera video quality and the fact that front camera can't take slow motion videos.
Thanks so much guys for your input, you can suggest any other help if it's not too much to ask.

We use same device, though mine is older, battery still stellar and I have this impression say I press phone pass you .

Battery still stellar? Like how many hours? Does it last for a day? Or maybe 12 hours

lilmonarch:

Yeah, 2hrs then.

honsule:

Naaa, my usage normally gives me around 10 hours SOT, I now get a little less than that.

please another silly question, is there any difference between the global version and the CN with a global rom of RN5a?

Pls is there a way to expand notification like in stock Android. I don check tire. Currently using masik 1.7

Works flawlessly on Poco though, even the night sight if you are on the official pie beta rom.
