The hype is a lot but the wait is about to end: today it will be the great announcement that it will make Xiaomi (o Redmi, we'll see in a few hours) about the teaser that made "big head" a few days ago about a new one 64 megapixel sensor mounted right under the body of a brand device. A few hours from the official announcement on Mobile Product Marketing Director of Xiaomi Yan Zhiyuan left one confirmation than we could already expect: the sensor in question is precisely the Samsung GW1, the one that came out in conjunction with the GM2 from 48 megapixel in May. We see in particular the news and the peculiarity of the sensor.
Xiaomi confirms sensor Samsung GW1 by 64 megapixel: today the announcement
Through the Chinese social media Weibo Yan Zhiyuan has posted photos that show large boxes containing, from what we understand, i crystals used for the sensor lens in question. Along with these images Yan himself also posted the poster that announces the conference set for today and therefore there is no doubt that this is precisely the sensor mounted on the upcoming Xiaomi device, perhaps precisely the redmi 8.
In addition, he also confirmed that the company did stock up on food, that is Xiaomi has purchased this sensor in stock in order not to be in the unpleasant situation of terminating smartphones for sale already started, as already success though for other reasons. Returning to the characteristics of the sensor we can say with certainty that the GW1 is equipped with Tetracell technology which combines the pixels during shooting and an algorithm that offers images from 16 MP in low light environments where four pixels are joined together to function as a single pixel in order to increase light sensitivity.
It also supports the HDR up to 100 dB which provides decidedly richer shades. The sensor is also equipped with technology Dual Conversion Gain (DCG) is converts the received light into an electrical signal: this allows the sensor to exploit all its power, taking advantage of the light collected more efficiently, especially in bright environments. We remember that , promising find a taste of the first photograph taken by Xiaomi with a sensor from 64 megapixel.
Speaking of sensor capacity, we know that it can also shoot movies full HD in slowmotion mode at 480fps, besides having one resolution which amounts to 9216 6912 pixels x. In short, we just have to wait for the conference to be held at 14.00 in China. We will not fail to know more about the details, if possible live, about the first Xiaomi device (correct, he beat on time Realme) with 64 megapixel camera.
