Xiaomi’s Mi 11 series is expected to be the first Snapdragon 875 flagship smartphones. Accordingly, the devices(Tentatively: Mi 11, 11 Pro) are under the radar of leaks frequently. And now, a recent tip hints at the camera specs of the “Pro” device.

Tipster Digital Chat Station on Weibo has said that Xiaomi Mi 11 Pro he got to know had the camera layout and rear shell fully covered. Hence, he couldn’t spot the arrangement of cameras. However, from the system software settings, he reportedly found that the main camera of Mi 11 Pro shows 50MP resolution. Precisely, according to him, the output is a result of the 4-in-1(pixel binning) process.

Mi 11 Camera Specifications(Expected)

From what he says, it is understood that the marketing MP count of the sensor is not known yet. But the device’s main lens produces 50MP output. Moving on, tipster also mentions about a Telephoto lens on the Mi 11 Pro. Like the main lens, he says the software settings for Telephoto shows a 12MP output. However, he isn’t sure if it’s a proper 12MP lens or a 48MP sensor with a pixel binning technique.

Now, if you consider the specs of Mi 10, Mi 10 Pro, or even the Mi 10 Ultra, they have 108MP Primary sensor. Also, if we recall, the Mi 10 Pro has auxiliary sensors like the 8MP Telephoto, 20MP ultra-wide, and a 12MP portrait lens. Hence, in any case, Mi 11 Pro’s is likely to bring an upgrade in Telephoto lens.

That said, the above specs are only for the “Pro” version of the Mi 11 as the tipster says the camera specs of the Mi 11 non-Pro version is uncertain. Anyway, both the flagships are likely to darn different sensors(apart from Main lens) combination just like the predecessors.

From what we know, Xiaomi Mi 11 Pro is expected to feature a QHD+ display with a 120Hz refresh rate, punch-hole screen, Qualcomm Snapdragon 875 SoC. It could also have 120W fast charging that Xiaomi revealed this year.

Today, OPPO announced its new 10x hybrid optical zoom camera technology for smartphones. The new technology is a follow-up to the 5x precision optical zoom it unveiled at MWC 2017.

The new 10x hybrid optical zoon uses three cameras instead of two. It has added an ultra-wide camera to the main camera + telephoto lens dual camera setup of the 5x  precision optical zoom. The ultra-wide angle camera sits atop the ultra-clear main camera while the telephoto lens maintains its periscope-like setup. The new design provides a zoom range of 15.9mm to 159mm.

OPPO says it has also added optical image stabilization to the ultra clear main camera and the periscope telephoto camera. The manufacturer hasn’t said anything about the aperture of the cameras which is quite important for the final output. However, it did promise that it will reveal a working sample of the camera at MWC 2019.

OPPO also added that the new 10x hybrid optical zoom technology is ready for mass production, so this may end up in OPPO phones launching this year. The working sample at MWC 2019 might actually even be a smartphone.
