Xiaomi is reportedly testing a new under-display camera with a high-resolution solution that has been paired with an FHD+ display from Huaxing Optoelectronics.

Prior to this, Xiaomi had launched the Xiaomi MIX 4 as the very first commercially-selling smartphone from the company with an under-display. Its resolution was 20MP.

However, upcoming devices with the new UD camera tech will feature a much denser pixel count with resolutions higher than 20MP. The increased resolution will be further enhanced by improvements made to the clarity of selfies (via My Drivers).

It is worth noting here that while under-screen cameras have indeed come a long way, their quality is still no match for regular selfie cameras. But with Xiaomi’s strides in the field, the gap between the two is expected to close further.

Details about the upcoming devices that will be making use of the technology are scarce at the moment, but we expect to see more leaks drop soon.

Under-display camera tech from Xiaomi adopts a new pixel arrangement with a special circuit designed to hide more components under the RGB sub-pixels, which effectively improves light transmittance and allows clearer results.

It was recently learned that Xiaomi MIX 5 with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chip has commenced trial production. While finer details about the device are unavailable at the moment, it is also expected to come with an under-screen snapper at the front just like its predecessor. It’s possible that the sensor may even sport a resolution higher than 20MP.
