While several other smartphone companies outsource their cameras from makers such as Samsung and Sony, Xiaomi is beating them by planning to open its own in-house camera department.
The news was leaked from an internal email of the company, obtained originally by a Chinese publisher. We don’t know when exactly the department will commence operations, however, the idea has the backing of Xiaomi’s founder and CEO Lei Jun, which could be a major point in its favor.
Xiaomi’s Photography Chops
The company’s recent phones have been performing extremely well in terms of camera performance. A prime example of this is the new Mi Mix 2S from the company, which earned an overall score of 97 from DxO Mark, including a stills score of 101.

The move will further help the company be efficient in its phone designs, apart from having even closer integration in the phone’s hardware and software. It could be vital in bringing deeper AI-focused features and facial recognition to future phones, especially those in the lower-ends of the market where the company has a stronghold.
Not in Mi 7
It’s unlikely that the announcement will bear any fruit for the upcoming Mi 7 flagship, which is set to go up for pre-orders later this month.
The phone will reportedly be the first in the Android ecosystem to come with a 3D facial recognition system. Though not entirely related, it’ll come with a 16 MP dual-camera setup with a f/1.7 aperture, 4K video recording, and 4-axis OIS, with the front camera also gaining 2X optical zoom.
Photography has become among the more important aspects of smartphones recently, and the new in-house department could be a decisive move for Xiaomi.

Pehly Note 5 Pro & A2 Pakistan Main Launch to Karo :
Poor Marketing Rip Xiaomi
It seems Pakistani market isn’t a priority for Xiaomi, India and other countries get early releases while we have to wait for so long, this is extremely disappointing.
Delays ki waja Smartlink hay, Xiaomi’s “official” distributor in Pakistan. India main Xiaomi khud handle karta hay sab kuch, no distributors acting as middlemen.
To pakistan me khud hadle krne me kia msla hei xiaomi ko
Xiaomi hi bata skta hay khud.
Phir Xiaomi ko he ye masla solve kerna pary ga agar woh Pakistani market ko dominate kerna chahtay hain, agar Pakistani market Xiaomi ki priority mein say aik hay.
When is Xiaomi S2 64gb is coming to Pakistan?
The wait is gonna be a long one since Redmi Note 5 (Pro) isn’t released in Pakistan yet and the wait is going on for months! This is really frustrating.
