Motorola isn’t the only company working on a phone with a 200MP camera – Digital chat station reports that a phone with a 200MP sensor, a Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chipset, a 120Hz display and a 5,000mAh battery is on the way.
While the leakster was being shy, some speculate that it is a Xiaomi phone, especially the Redmi K50S Pro. Or it could be the Xiaomi 12T Pro instead (actually, those could be the same, just different names in different regions. ).
The sensor will be Samsung’s ISOCELL HP1 or ISOCELL HP3. Both have a resolution of 200 MP, but the difference is in the optical format and pixel size: 1 / 1.22 “and 0.64 µm and 1 / 1.4” and 0.56 µm respectively (before binning 4 in 1).
Motorola is using the larger HP1 and released a camera sample today, showing what the sensor can do with 4-in-1 pixel binning enabled – it’s still a 50MP photo! It is not yet clear which sensor Xiaomi will choose. Given the premium 8+ Gen 1 chipset, it makes more sense to choose the HP1, of course.
There are more uncertainties: will Leica work on the phone or not? To find out, we will have to wait for further rumors.
