Leakster: the Xiaomi 12 will have a triple 50MP camera with a 5x periscope

30 August 2021
The Mi 11 Ultra is already close to that with a 50+48+48 MP camera and a 5x periscope. The next ultra will probably have a 200 MP camera, though.

      Xiaomi is not stupid.

        Pretty sure this is the vanilla 12, right? If that's the case, this looks more than good enough for me. I still can't see the point of having a 200MP camera sensor on a smartphone, especially with frankly unnecesary 16-to-1 pixel binning, unless Samsung is pushing for a 16K video resolution.

            No periscope x10, and no variable optical Lens, i'm disappointed.

              I suppose:

              - 50MP 1/1.2" GN3
              - 50MP 1/1.5" imx766 or omnivision like p50 pro
              - 50MP 1/2.76" isocell JN series (one used by redmi 10)

                I think this will be the Xiaomi 11 Ultra setup, not the regular one. Don't think they will go from no telephoto to possibly the best on the market.

I'm actually surprised we don't have phones with 32GB RAM yet... People would go crazy. Meanwhile flagship iPhones work smooth as butter with just 6GB. Go figure. Throwing such amounts of RAM at the problem just makes app devs lazy and as a result, same apps run like crap on low end phones because they are made sloppy with assumption everyone has bunch of RAM to throw around.

                      As I've always said we do not need Highly priced camera sensors, we only need software optimisation

                              I'd take the more power hungry powerful S888+ more torque power , that's if you know about Cpu like the Arm A15 cortex big V12 engine vs potsy V6,chips than this efficient crappie cpu .

                              Also all ceramic glassor carbon fibre or titanium or copper body

                                i knew it, i had hunch Xiaomi gonna take Mi11Ultra camera configuration into Xiaomi 12, if yes it'll be lit!

                                I'm hoping that Xiaomi 12 will cost the same as Mi 11

                                    Interesting. Great camera upgrades from Xiaomi Mi 11. Also, the 50 MP sensor could be an Sony IMX 766 like on BBK phones now. 5x zoom with higher resolution sensor can sometimes rival true 10x low res sensors. Huawei P50 Pro proved that is possible. Their 10x shots look equally as good as S21 Ultra's 10x zoom. But sadly, in video, it doesn't work. Since video resolution is capped at 4k or 1080p
