One of the key features of any flagship handset nowadays is a stellar camera that is designed to beat the competition. Xiaomi has been trying to do the same. Over the years, the company has focused a chunk of its R&D on making its smartphone cameras better.
Now, according to a recent leak by the infamous Digital Chat Station, the Chinese company is gearing up to launch a new smartphone that will come with a whopping 200 MP imaging sensor. For those who don’t know, currently, 108 MP is the largest camera sensor that a smartphone offers.
The sensor will most likely come from Samsung and is expected to have 0.64um unit pixel, but far less than the 1.4μm unit pixel area of ​​ISOCELL GN2. However, since we don’t have a lot of information about the sensor, we don’t know what to expect.
In addition to this, well-known leakster @IceUniverse recently revealed that Samsung is planning to launch a new innovative sensor this year under the company’s ISOCELL lineup that will have a 200 MP image sensor. There is a high chance that Digital Chat Station is talking about the same sensor. Moreover, after the launch of the Samsung Galaxy S21, the company hinted that it was developing a 200 MP imaging sensor as the successor of the 108 MP sensor that came with S21.
For now, this is all we know but more details will be revealed soon.
