It looks like Xiaomi’s next Redmi phone will have a 64MP camera

In April, Samsung introduced its largest smartphone camera sensor, one that might soak up as much as 64 megapixels of data. The rumor mill was fast to level to a new Galaxy phone that might be the primary to characteristic stated sensor. But plainly Xiaomi has proven up the group with a couple of samples from what’s supposedly its first phone with a 64MP camera. And there’s cause to imagine that it will be pretty reasonably priced, too.

Xiaomi subsidiary Redmi posted a pattern image of a grey cat onto its Weibo account with an inset crop exhibiting the finer hairs abutting the feline’s proper eye. Xiaomi president Lu Weibing additionally dropped a viewfinder screenshot on his account.

We have no clue if Xiaomi is utilizing Samsung’s 64MP sensor — competitors, whereas quiet, is fierce within the cellular imaging business — however regardless of the element is, it will seemingly default to a 16MP capturing mode. As defined prior for that exact product, whereas the sensor might characteristic 64 million websites that soak up gentle, there are solely sufficient RGB subpixels to create a “natural” 16MP picture. A remoasic algorithm would interpret the additional shade info for a 64MP picture.

As for the phone itself, it, too, stays a thriller in the meanwhile. However, the Redmi model tends to be very value-driven, so we’d see this phone debut in China, India, and possibly a few different markets both at or under the $300-equivalent stage.

Soon will come the day after we’ll be capable to take 100MP pictures with our pocket slabs.
