Xiaomi is about to launch the Mi 11 Ultra camera phone which was ranked first in the photographic ranking of DxOMark. The device, thanks also to its sensor SamsungGN2, outperformed the Huawei Mate 40 Pro + with 143 points. As we always say, a photo sensor with many megapixels is not necessarily better but apparently the company wants to continue to focus on exaggerated cameras. The latest news from Digital Chat Station, tells us about a prototype from ben 200 megapixel.
Xiaomi's 200 megapixel smartphone could come out sooner than expected, probably within the year: it is already in the testing phase
La news the existence of a sensor from 200 megapixel is from a few months ago. Ice Universe, a well-known informant of the tech world, warned that several companies including Xiaomi had already got their hands on such a camera. It could only be a Samsung sensor. Today, another high-profile whistleblower said the Chinese company would have a prototype ready that it would be actively testing. However, the features technical of this sensor have not yet been reported.
The 200-megapixel sensor, which is currently being polished by Xiaomi engineers, is expected to appear in the company's next flagship smartphone. Lei Jun, founder, president and CEO of the Chinese brand, recently said that there are more than 1000 people in the company's camera department. Thanks to huge investments, this area is improving very rapidly. But as we say very often, you don't just need to invest in hardware and custom sensors.
We know very well that what Xiaomi is missing is the MIUI running-in in photographic terms. What the company's smartphones still need is a algorithm that can compete with that of Google. Will he ever be able to propose one? In any case it should be remembered that these 200 megapixels they are not the actual pixels of the lens. We use a particular technology called "pixel binning”Which allows you to group multiple small pixels in the space of a traditional pixel.
