Xiaomi has been focusing on the camera department for its premium high-end devices and now it seems that the company is gearing up to launch a new smartphone that will come with a larger camera sensor.
As per the report from Digital Chat Room (via ITHome), Chinese smartphone maker Xiaomi is working on a smartphone that will feature a 200-megapixel camera sensor, which will be the largest camera sensor for a phone. Currently, 108-megapixel is the largest camera sensor that a smartphone offers.
It is believed that the sensor will 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. At this time, we don’t have much information about the sensor.
Recently, well-known leakster @IceUniverse had revealed that the South Korean tech giant is planning to launch a new innovative sensor this year under the company’s ISOCELL that will have a 200-megapixel image sensor.
Samsung has also hinted that it is developing a 200-megapixel image sensor as the successor of the 108-megapixel sensor found in the Galaxy S21 Ultra. While not yet confirmed, the company is likely to use the new 200MP sensor on the upcoming Galaxy S22 series flagship smartphones. It could also end up being a part of the company’s new foldable smartphone.
This isn’t the only high megapixel count sensor that Samsung is working on. Last year, the company announced that it is working on a 600-megapixel smartphone image sensor, although, it will take years before the technology gets commercial. Meanwhile, we are waiting for a smartphone equipped with a 200-megapixel camera sensor to launch, which should happen quite soon.
