A flagship smartphone nowadays cannot compete based on raw performance alone, as last year, as even the mid-range segment has started using top-of-the-shelf flagship processors. Xiaomi equipped its Redmi K40 series with Qualcomm Snapdragon 870 and Snapdragon 888 processors, Realme equipped its Realme GT with a Snapdragon 888 and its Realme GT 2 Pro with a Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 for a price-to-performance like none other manufacturers. Therefore, the flagship smartphone market has been gradually focusing on photo and video quality for the past few years.
Xiaomi and Vivo were both praised for their top-of-the-industry camera performance with their Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra and Vivo X70 Pro Plus respectively.
In 2022, both companies are set to be trendsetters in mobile photography once again as a popular leakster and industry insider from China, Digital Chat Station, recently made a comment that Xiaomi and Vivo are to shock the industry again with their camera prowess again with their upcoming flagships, the Xiaomi MIX 5 and the Vivo NEX 5 respectively.
In the comment, the insider mentioned that they were very fond of both smartphones for their industry-leading camera configuration. Both flagships will feature bigger sensors across all focal lengths, which means brighter photos and videos during low light whether you will be using the ultra-wide, normal, or telephoto lens to capture the scene.
Paired with the rumored upcoming collaborations with high-profile camera giants, such as Leica with Xiaomi, and Zeiss with Vivo, the camera algorithms and scene recognition software also receive a much-needed flare from the camera companies to ensure the user takes the shot just how they like it.
The insider also mentions that both phones also have the essentials of what makes a flagship as both the Xiaomi MIX 5 and Vivo NEX 5 will include fast charging support and long-lasting battery endurance to keep you doing what you love all day.
The insider further adds that both phones may be the best camera phones of 2022 and that he is considering using both the Xiaomi MIX 5 and Vivo NEX 5 as their daily driver in the year 2022.
No specific camera details or specifications of both phones were leaked but judging by the mention of both flagship model names, it may seem that Xiaomi and Vivo may release more info about the announcement of both flagships soon.
