Yesterday, Redmi said it would make an important announcement on Monday. Staying true to its promise, Redmi has released a teaser for its 64MP camera smartphone. It’s possible that the new Redmi model would beat other brands like Realme and Samsung to release the world’s first 64MP camera smartphone.

Redmi released a camera sample from its 64MP smartphone on its official Weibo account earlier today. Technically, we didn’t get an original sample from the phone. However, the teaser zooms into the picture of the cat to show crisp details around its eye. Unfortunately, that’s all we got from the official teaser.

Releasing a 64MP smartphone would be a big move by the brand which recently split off with its parent, Xiaomi. Both Realme and Samsung are said to be working on 64MP smartphones but their launch is expected to be later this year. In fact, Realme’s CEO Madhav Sheth already shared a couple of samples back in June giving us a glimpse of the level details from its 64MP phone. But, given the timing of the teaser, it looks like Redmi will beat both Realme and Samsung in releasing the world’s first 64MP smartphone.

Rumors about a 64MP smartphone from Redmi have been making rounds on the internet since early June. In fact, we have already spotted terms like ’64MP UltraPixel mode’ and ’64MP dual cameras’ inside the MIUI camera app. So it was evident that Redmi was already working on this model. The phone is likely to use Samsung’s recently launched 64MP ISOCELL Bright GW1 sensor.

Redmi seems to be shouldering a lot of responsibility under the guidance of its new head, Lu Weibing. The brand’s Redmi K20 Pro and the Redmi Note 7 series have been really well received in China as well as internationally, all thanks to its quality hardware at an affordable price tag. With a 64MP camera phone in the works, the brand is going to be extremely busy in the coming weeks.
