Samsung reveals 108MP camera sensor, designed for Xiaomi phones?
Samsung's flagships have always been prized for photography, but the paradox is that it is rare for a Samsung phone to top the list of devices for the best imaging capabilities. market, although many times they lead the configuration or superiority in design philosophy.
Rather, Samsung's homegrown camera sensor has never been rated as comprehensive by experts, at least when compared to rival products such as Sony. Samsung executives naturally understand this fact, they will surely have to devise plans to change to suit the position of the world's largest smartphone manufacturer. And the initial solution that the brand comes from the land of Kim Chi is to 'hit' on the number of megapixels on the sensor.

Samsung's camera sensors for good quality, but never the best
In order to realize this plan, Samsung recently revealed relatively detailed information about a camera sensor model developed by the company itself, with a resolution of up to 108MP, specially designed for use on smart phones, and if used in practice, this will be the highest resolution camera sensor we've ever seen on a commercially available smartphone (as of now. in).
However, when this feeling will be officially launched, and will be equipped on any product, that is the top concern for users.
In May, Samsung also introduced a new camera sensor model specifically for smartphones with up to 64MP resolution, which has attracted a great deal of attention from the community. Surprisingly, this sensor was first equipped on a non-Samsung smartphone, which is the Realme XT from Chinese manufacturer Realme (Oppo), launched in late August.

There are still not many detailed and in-depth reviews on strengths and weaknesses, as well as the quality of images taken by Samsung's 64MP sensor fitted on the Realme XT. However, this 64MP figure does not seem to really resonate on the market as expected of both Samsung and Realme, and that is probably the reason why the Korean manufacturer continues to develop the 108MP sensor model. as above.
So what does this sensor stand out from its predecessor as well as other products currently on the market? The first is the ability to capture light. Yes, one of the highlights on Samsung's 108MP camera sensor is that it can capture more light than most other products on the market, so even in low light, the device is still can produce images at a minimum of 27MP with Samsung's 'advertised' brightness as 'extremely good'. More importantly, the sensor is capable of recording 6K lossless videos at 30 frames per second - truly impressive specs!

Which smartphone will use Samsung's 108MP camera?
This is a question that many people are most interested in, because although the same sensor but not on any product can produce images of similar quality. In other words, the quality of the image when it reaches your hand depends largely on the processing algorithm of the manufacturer, not just the capabilities of the sensor.
Unlike the 64MP sensor that Samsung launched in May - which is a 'generic toy' that can be used on many devices, this 108MP sensor seems to have been planned to be equipped only on production. products of certain companies, and that is likely to be a familiar name: Xiaomi.

During a press conference to introduce this 108MP sensor, Samsung has repeatedly talked about "the close cooperation between Xiaomi Corp and Samsung". Of course, that does not help to confirm 100% that Xiaomi phones will be the first products on the market to be equipped with this sensor model, but it is highly likely.
The scenario of Xiaomi's flagship models like Mi Mix 4 or even Mi 10 will use Samsung 108MP sensor is entirely possible, and Xiaomi itself has many times talked about the top smartphones of In the future, the company will own a camera cluster with 'badass' resolution. We haven't heard too much about either of these, so 'anything can happen'.

Xiaomi Mi Mix 4 will most likely use Samsung's camera sensor and become the first 108MP camera smartphone in the world.
After Mi Mix 4 and Mi 10, we can expect to see the appearance of this 108MP sensor on some of Samsung's own products. However, it is likely that it will not be on flagships like the Galaxy S11 or Note 11, because Samsung tends to prefer low megapixels in its flagship devices. There is also hope that brands that often hit the configuration and camera like Realme or Meizu will use this sensor soon.
