The next generation of high-end smartphones from Xiaomi could use a sensor with even more megapixels, since the main camera would go from 108 MP on the current model to 200 MP on the Xiaomi 12.
According to the famous Digital Chat Station leaker, Xiaomi has decided to increase the number of megapixels of the main sensor of the Xiaomi 12 compared to the current generation. It has been two years now that Xiaomi used a 108 MP ISOCELL HMX sensor as the main camera of its high-end models.
The Xiaomi 12 could use a 200 MP camera for him. It’s been several weeks now since we know that the Chinese manufacturer is looking to use a new 200 MP sensor from Samsung, and it is the Xiaomi 12 that would benefit. This race for megapixels will likely increase the sharpness of images and allow for easy cropping of shots, but may lower the quality of shots in low light conditions.
The Xiaomi 12 Ultra will keep a 50 MP sensor
Just like this year’s Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra and Mi 11 Pro, next year’s upcoming Pro and Ultra models are also expected to use a 50 MP sensor. As a reminder, The Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra has a huge ISOCELL GN2 photo sensor from Samsung. This one has the distinction of being much larger than its competition, with a size of 1 / 1.12 inch and individual pixels of 1.4 microns.
According to Digital Chat Station, Xiaomi would continue to use a second high-performance ultra-wide-angle sensor as well as a periscope, which would retain a 5X optical zoom. Finally, it is known that the Xiaomi 12 will be the first smartphone to use a Snapdragon 898 from Qualcomm and LPDDR5X RAM at 8533 Mb / s. The smartphone is also expected to use a battery of at least 4500 mAh compatible. with 120 W wired charging, as is the case with the latest Xiaomi MIX 4.
As a reminder, the new range of Xiaomi smartphones will be called Xiaomi 12, and not Xiaomi Mi 12, since the Chinese manufacturer has announced the abandonment of the “Mi” brand for its future products. The Xiaomi Mi 12 are expected in December in China, and early 2022 in France.
