So if the hands are not steady, are you saying the 'gimbal' mode of the camera will not work?

Yes my brother.

People tend to get carried away with adverts and it's bad. The OIS + EIS na for mild shakes.

If na people when dey shake like who get Parkinson's...then the OIS is useless.

This is because smartphones are small and so are the 6-axis gyroscopes inside them that are used for stabilization.

Personally, OIS is not a deal breaker for me, I have a steady hand. Image/video processing power is the deal breaker.

I would rather have a superior sensor/ISP and buy a tripod or gimbal for it, than to have an inferior sensor/ISP with OIS.

I don handle Galaxy A52 and I have seen videos of the Zero X Pro. The OIS hype is blown out of proportion.

I see! But then it does not mean it will not work if its little shake of the hand. But ultimately the tripod or gimbal will still come in handy anyway

No oh...

I'd buy a cheaper 64MP camera device and use my tripod as the OIS.

Exactly. You get my point.

Na for those tiny shakes when dey occur. It's going to work perfectly in those situations. You will not notice that the video shake sef.

But anything more than that. Gbese re oh.

A good midrange phone.

Can compete with most upper midrange devices in it's class but as always with Transsion, it is overpriced.

Yes Naira don fall...

But if other competitors are selling Snapdragon 720G/732G and Dimensity 700 5G devices for less than 160k then this phone is overpriced.

There are more affordable options on the market unless of course, you're a diehard fan.
