, the one that gets the most attention should be the "super large cup" Xiaomi 12S Ultra. It focuses on imaging functions. It not only has and Leica blessings, but also debuted the Sony IMX989 1-inch sensor. It can be said that all image parameters are maximized. So what are the unique features of this Xiaomi Mi 12S Ultra in terms of camera experience? Let’s do a brief analysis together!

First of all, let’s briefly talk about the relationship between the mobile phone camera effect and the camera sensor. The sensor is mainly used to obtain the same light from the lens. When the lens aperture is the same, the larger the sensor area, the more light signals are obtained, and the better the photo quality is. And when taking photos at night, a large-size sensor can use a higher shutter speed to avoid blurry night scene photos, and can also lower the ISO sensitivity and reduce picture noise.

Due to size limitations, mobile phones often cannot use large aperture lenses. Therefore, if you want to improve the photography effect of your mobile phone, you usually start by increasing the area of ​​the camera sensor. The sensor size of last year's mainstream camera IMX766 was 1/1.56 inches, and the IMX866 released in the first half of this year was 1/1.49 inches. This time, the IMX707 used by Xiaomi Mi 12S and Xiaomi Mi 12S Pro is 1/1.28 inches, while Xiaomi Mi 12S Ultra has reached 1 inch in one step. This size has reached the level of the Sony classic "black card" camera.

In addition to the larger sensor, Xiaomi Mi 12S Ultra also cooperates with Leica and is equipped with Leica professional optical lenses. This lens uses an 8P aspherical high-lens lens and an IR filter, which can effectively filter infrared light and ultraviolet light to solve the color cast problem. The surface of the lens also uses a layer of professional anti-glare coating, so when shooting night scene lights, it can effectively suppress highlights and make the picture cleaner and more transparent.

Leica is not yet available. Xiaomi Mi 12S Ultra has created two shooting modes, classic and vivid, as well as four Leica professional filters to cope with different shooting products. When shooting portraits, you can also use three Leica Master Lens Packages, including the "35mm Classic Humanistic Black and White Lens", the "50mm Classic Portrait Rotary Focus Lens", and the "90mm Classic Portrait Soft Focus Lens".

Xiaomi 12S Ultra also supports HyperOIS optical image stabilization . Since it is hardware-level image stabilization, there is no need to crop the image, thus enabling stable and clear shooting while retaining more image details. In addition to being able to shoot 8K movie-level videos, it is also the first Android phone to support Dolby Vision HDR video shooting.

Xiaomi 12S Ultra is also equipped with a 48-megapixel periscope telephoto lens , which supports 5x optical zoom and 120x digital zoom. The telephoto end is also equipped with OIS optical image stabilization and supports night scene mode. . Its ultra-wide-angle lens is also 48 million pixels, 13mm equivalent focal length , and has a 128° field of view.

The well-received "Everything Focus" system of the Xiaomi 12 series has also been extended to the Xiaomi 12S series. When shooting moving people and animals, the camera can stably focus on the subject and achieve rapid capture and continuous shooting. Very suitable for taking pictures of children and animals at home.

Whether it is the launch of the Sony IMX989 1-inch outsole sensor or the in-depth cooperation with Leica, it shows that Xiaomi is very attentive in improving the mobile phone camera experience, and the hardware and algorithms are fully utilized. And this time, Xiaomi Mi 12S Ultra has tried its best to do better in many details. For example, it uses an integrated metal frame to fully protect the precision components inside the fuselage, especially the camera module. The IP68 level of waterproof and dustproof is also greatly improved. Improved service life. So although the price of this phone is not cheap, it is still worth a try for professional photography enthusiasts!
