Long term Iphone user here. I am currently thinking to switch to Android and might buy the Xiaomi 15.
Is here anybody who bought it already and can share some experiences with uploading photos or videos to instagram etc. ? In general i feel like there is a huge drop in quality with android phones after uploads which is kind of sad as the cameras in general are very good.
Thank you!
Instagram has a maximum resolution of 1080p for posts. So even if you upload a 50mp image, Instagram (no matter what OS you use) will reduce it to 1.1mp. As far as posting on Instagram goes, I haven’t seen a drop in quality at all. Even after switching from iPhone to Android back and forth over the years. You may see a difference when taking images within the Instagram app, using Instagram’s own camera, but then I question why anyone would want to do that and lose out on the majority of the features the Xiaomi app has.

Damn your feed looks sick ! Which camera or phone did you use for the majority of the time ?
Did you just upload the pictures from your gallery or did you use any third party app for editing etc ?
The quality difference comes when shooting directly in the app.
If you used the camera app and then upload, the quality would be similar to iphone. If you are shooting directly from the insta app iphone will be way better.
