Just when you thought smartphone<\/a> cameras had reached their absolute peak,\u00a0China’s Xiaomi has announced its plans to\u00a0launch a smartphone with a 108-megapixel camera. While the world is frothing over Huawei’s\u00a0Leica Quad Camera System with\u00a0a 40 MP Super Sensing Camera, a 20 MP Ultra Wide Angle Lens, and a Huawei Time-of-Flight Camera, Xiaomi<\/a> announced its plans to blow smartphone photography<\/a> out of the water. The Chinese smartphone brand\u00a0will be\u00a0working with Samsung to bring this ground-breaking camera to life sooner than you think.<\/p>\n

The now highly anticipated camera system will enable users to take 12,032×9,024 pixel snaps, which is a huge leap from what the 48 megapixels maximum that is currently available to smartphone users. While no definitive date has been announced for the new\u00a0Xiaomi’ smartphone with\u00a0108-megapixel camera,\u00a0Xiaomi has revealed that it will first be launching\u00a0a phone with a 64-megapixel camera\u00a0in India near the end of 2019.<\/p>\n

This exciting new addition will enable users to take\u00a09,280×6,944 pixel photos with a 0.8 micron pixel size, and will use a technique called pixel binning to create great-looking 16-megapixel photos. Compared to the\u00a0Huawei P30 Pro’s\u00a010-megapixel pixel-binned photos, this new addition to the market will offer smartphone photographer’s more than ever before.<\/p>\n

Samsung’s GW-1 chip will no doubt bring\u00a0Xiaomi’s smartphone camera into the limelight, improving on the existing Tetracell technology, and allow users to take brighter 16-megapixel photos in low light, and more detailed 64-megapixel photos in daylight. The devices\u00a03D HDR tech will further help to improve the quality of photos and videos even in bad lighting conditions.<\/p>\n

As for Xiaomi’s 108-megapixel sensor, the smartphone manufacturer hasn’t released many details but it will likely use pixel binning to produce far more manageable 27-megapixel photos.<\/p>\n
