Flash enabled indoor photographs taken with the Xiaomi Mi 4 in India marred by yellow tint

According to some threads on the Xiaomi Mi 4 forum found at Xiaomi's MIUI website, Indian users of the handset are finding that some of the pictures taken with the handset's rear camera contain a yellowish tint. More specifically, this tint appears on pictures taken indoors with the flash employed. The 13MP camera features an aperture of f/1.8 which means it should take quality pictures even in low-light conditions.

The Xiaomi Mi 4 users with this issue bought their handset from online retailer Flipkart. For the most part, the general attitude toward Xiaomi appears to be one of frustration and anger, although it isn't clear if any of the posters has actually been in touch with the manufacturer to complain.

In the slideshow, we've included some indoor pictures taken with the Mi 4's camera using flash. We also included a comparison photo taken with the Xiaomi Redmi Note so you can clearly spot the problem. Hopefully, Xiaomi becomes aware of the issue and can fix this with a software update.


Thanks for the tip, Anoop!
