Xiaomi is working on a flagship phone with a 200MP camera that is to be released in 2022. The company’s focus on cameras continues, as it recently released the Mi 11 Ultra, which is all about photography and filming.
According to tipster Digital Chat Station, the Chinese company is working on major improvements in the camera department for its 2022 flagship. Other specs leaked by the tipster include a Snapdragon 888 plus processor and a dual-curved display with a punch-hole camera cutout.
There is no information on which is the device in question, but since it will be a flagship, we can assume that it could be a Xiaomi Mi 12-series phone.
The current Xiaomi flagship - the Mi 11 Ultra has a 108MP camera with up to 120x zoom
This is not the first time Xiaomi pushes the boundaries in terms of smartphone camera megapixels. The company was the first to introduce a 108MP smartphone camera in its Xiaomi Mi Note 10, which was launched in 2019. Other companies like Samsung quickly took note and released 108MP phones as well.
These 108MP sensors had some problems in terms of focusing and exposure at first, but these were quickly addressed. Though we must note that the 108MP cameras didn’t improve picture quality by a lot, and since their introduction, we’ve seen many companies embrace 48 and 50MP main sensors that are similar in terms of size, but capture bigger pixels.
The report that the Xiaomi device will use Snapdragon’s SM8450 platform is what is to be expected from a 2022 flagship smartphone. The SM8450 is the next iteration of the current Snapdragon 888. The processor will be built via the new 4nm manufacturing process and offer a 20% bump in AI performance.
