When Samsung announced its 108MP sensor, it was done in collaboration with Xiaomi. The ISOCELL Bright HMX sensor is expected to appear first in a Xiaomi phone soon, which some folks believe is the upcoming Mi MIX 4 flagship. However, new findings have revealed Xiaomi is working on at least four phones with a 108MP sensor.
The source of these new findings is XDA-Developers who found evidence of these unreleased phones in the MIUI Callery App. According to them, the MIUI Gallery App has added support for viewing 108MP photos in full resolution. The app specifically lists the feature is supported by four devices codenamed “tucana”, “draco”, “umi” and “cmi”. Any of these devices may actually launch under the Xiaomi and Redmi brand. However, XDA-Developers, report that none of these devices is the Mi MIX 4.
The specs of these devices are currently unknown at the moment and it is also not known if they will be launching soon. There are still four months to go before the end of the year and we are pretty sure Xiaomi and Redmi are not done announcing new devices.
The sensor powering these phones should be the Samsung ISOCELL Bright HMX as no other camera manufacturer has announced a 108MP sensor. The Mi MIX 4 is expected to be the first phone with a 108MP sensor but there is still no evidence of that.
