Today, Xiaomi officially announced that the 12S Ultra will be equipped with a 1-inch super outsole sensor IMX989. Mobile phone sensors of this size are considered to reach the ceiling. Of course, there have been two one-inch products before (one is a SONY mobile phone , the other is Sharp mobile phone , the specific model will not be mentioned, both are not sold in China). At the same time, Lei Jun mentioned in his personal Weibo that this IMX989 was "jointly developed by Xiaomi and Sony ". The development cost was as high as 15 million US dollars, and the development costs were borne half by each company. Lei Jun said: This time we will not send DXO for testing (but DXO said: If you don’t send it, we will buy it for testing [silly laugh] ).
What are the benefits of the outsole? The main reason is that there is a larger amount of light entering; at the same time, the film yield is higher under dark light, the picture is brighter, and the noise is less; the picture is purer, the blur effect is better, and the picture quality is also improved to a certain extent. However, there is not much room for improvement in the size of mobile phone CMOS. How good is the outsole effect this time? We have to wait for Xiaomi 12S Ultra to be released and see the imaging effect to prove it. After all, Zhu Yu is ahead, and the GN2 of Xiaomi Mi 11U also has a 1.12-inch outsole. If it is not continuously optimized or has negative optimization, it will be in a bad state. Let’s wait and see!
