Yesterday, Xiaomi officially announced that the Xiaomi 12S series will be released on July 4th. Then the official started the warm-up and revealed a lot of information, including that all Xiaomi 12S series are equipped with Snapdragon 8+ chips. It comes standard with Leica imaging, and there is a LEICA logo next to the camera on the back of the phone. As the biggest highlight of the Xiaomi 12S series, the camera images of the three models will undoubtedly take off this time, especially the Xiaomi 12S Ultra.
This time Xiaomi 12S has upgraded the IMX 707 ultra-large bottom sensor, while Xiaomi 12S Pro remains unchanged, so the highlight is still Xiaomi 12S Ultra. Today, Xiaomi officially announced that the Xiaomi Mi 12S Ultra will be equipped with the Sony IMX 989 sensor. This sensor has a 1-inch super outsole. Compared with the IMX 766, the photosensitive area is increased by 48% and the light intake is increased by 49%. Of course, the cost has also increased accordingly. More than 1 times.
Camera sensors are said to be overwhelmingly large, and the 1-inch super large IMX 989 is undoubtedly the pinnacle of mobile phone sensors. Today, Lei Jun revealed more series of IMX 989. He said that IMX 989 was jointly developed by Xiaomi and Sony . The development cost was as high as 15 million US dollars, with Xiaomi and Sony each bearing half. What’s even more surprising is that Lei Jun announced that after Xiaomi 12S Ultra launches IMX 989, it will be open to domestic friends to jointly promote the progress of mobile imaging.
Finally: Many netizens praised Xiaomi’s attitude towards opening up the IMX 989 sensor. Of course, some netizens were worried that Xiaomi would open up the IMX 989 sensor because they were worried that other manufacturers would not use it. After all, manufacturers are willing to use super outsole sensors. Not many, taking the past two years as an example, many flagship phones have been polishing IMX 766 and GN5. Only Xiaomi first used GN2, and then IMX 707 and IMX 989.
