Xiaomi may be the first phone company to release a phone with a 64MP rear sensor. This comes after strings of code that XDA discovered on the latest version of the MIUI 10 Camera app that has a 64MP ‘ultra-pixel’ mode. It also refers to a 64MP Dual Camera in the code.
Currently, Samsung Note 10 is the only phone that has been speculated to carry a 64MP sensor after Samsung announced the technology. It is an ISOCELL Bright GW1 sensor with a small pixel size of 0.8μm. The sensor merges four pixels into one to create a better quality 16MP image when lighting conditions are sub-optimal. It will also record video in 1080P (FHD) at 480fps allowing support for smooth cinematic slow-motion videos. The sensor supports real-time high dynamic range (HDR) of up to 100dB. Many handsets have 60dB while the human eye has 120dB.
Along with the strings of code found by XDA, a user from Weibo named Ice Universe posted about a ‘mysterious’ model of Redmi that may feature Samsung’s 64MP sensor.
Ram found his love and appreciation for writing in 2015 having started in the gaming and esports sphere for GG Network. He would then transition to focus more on the world of tech which has also began his journey into learning more about this world. That said though, he still has the mentality of "as long as it works" for his personal gadgets.
