Today, Xiaomi founder Lei Jun announced via social media that the Xiaomi Mi 12T series will be equipped with a 200-megapixel main camera.

In the past, we focused on hardware. Thanks to our strategic upgrade in recent years, only through the deep integration of software and hardware, we can achieve a better user experience, and Xiaomi can make new breakthroughs.

Our research shows that the camera is one of the most important factors in consumers’ phone purchases; That’s why we’ve invested in modernizing the imaging system to make it more fun and easier for users to capture high-quality videos and photos.

The optical aspect ratio of the HP1 sensor is 1/1.22 inch, which is 1/1.28 inch larger than the Sony IMX707. The size of a pixel is 0.64 µm. It can synthesize 200 million pixels, 1.28 micron pixels to create 50MP images in low light conditions.

In addition, the Xiaomi Mi 12T series will be equipped with an 8-megapixel ultra-wide-angle lens and a 2-megapixel macro lens, while the front camera will be 20 megapixels. The launch of the smartphone will take place on October 4. Source
