Xiaomi recently released the flagship Mi 9 with a triple camera setup, its first phone with three rear shooters. This is China’s “Apple” keeping up with the trend in camera technology which has seen several OEMs release models with triple, quad and penta cameras. Seems Xiaomi will keep on slapping more sensors on its rear camera setup as it has announced a new partnership with Light, the company reputed to have developed the Nokia 9’s penta-camera setup.
Light claims it is the “world’s most advanced imaging platform” and the Nokia 9 PureView camera technology is a testament to that. The company rattled the industry when it released the Light L16 camera, which featured 16 cameras. Light’s technology combines 10 different images into a single super high-res photo.

Zhu Dan, VP of Xiaomi’s smartphone camera division has this to say; “We are thrilled to partner with Light to leverage their advanced imaging solutions for our future devices.” He went further to disclose that the company works tirelessly to remain at the forefront of smartphone innovation and that perfecting smartphone photography was a key focus for the Chinese phone maker. No mention was made of the project the company was working on but we expect something out of the ordinary.
