Xiaomi working on a 144 MP smartphone

02 April 2020
The sensor is likely to be made by Samsung, the phone could be Mi CC10 Pro/Mi 10S Pro.

Sort by:

I wonder if it would still be Quad Bayer binning or Nona Bayer binning like Samsung's HM1 108MP camera.

    IMO it should have dual nona binning like how the P40 was rumored with dual quad binning

        lavialegon, 02 Apr 2020We don't need many MP, we need good low light foto, people ... moreThat is where Tetracell or Bayer Binning kicks in

          Nick Tagataka, 02 Apr 2020So how would they be supposed to design microlens that cove... moreIt will never happen.
          Newer sensors are already expensive.
          Samsung would have to start almost from zero and pay royalties that would increase even more price.

          Be sure will be 144/36MP for xiaomi and 144/16 or 144/12 for Samsung.

            We don't need many MP, we need good low light foto, people who are choosing a camera by looking for more megapixels are stupid and victims of marketing

              mathaddict, 02 Apr 2020or they can use OCL technology (or Octa PD)like the one in ... moreSo how would they be supposed to design microlens that covers 9 pixels and splits light into those pixels equally? That sounds physically impossible to me.

                Furiounx, 02 Apr 2020Lol all these anonymous comments thinking 144MP is actually... moreThey don't definitely think that way, though we will finally get out of the weak 12MP anemic hardware drab., that was dragging on so long, finally nice to see Megapixel war heat up as well as sensor wars too.

                                Siva, 02 Apr 2020Great. Pixel war is gaining momentum. Not far off is the... more1" will demande these companies to sacrifice design.
                                Sensor is bigger , which means lenses and OIS get bigger too.
                                Bigger sensor generates more heat, since you cannot use low litography like CPU.

                                Also phones have to bigger even bigger to fit all other components. 1" is more than 50% larger than Isocell HMX used by Mi10 ......

                                  I think they should instead work on zoom feature, we have the large megapixels camera phones already.

                                    mark, 02 Apr 2020good bye 128 pts. dxomark hahaha. xiaomi users let celebrate. 128 is P40 Pro. Not the Pro+.
                                    Pro+ will pass 130 because higher zoom scpre than P40.
