Xiaomi’s upcoming Redmi smartphone with 64MP camera sensor will be launched in India in the Q4 of 2019. The Chinese tech giant has today announced its first 64MP smartphone imaging technology at a global event held in Beijing.
The upcoming 64MP camera will be powered by Samsung’s GW1 64MP sensor. The GW1 sensor uses ISOCELL Plus technology to create a pixel-to-pixel barrier to reduce light interference between pixels and consequently improve color reproduction. The new GW1 sensor will output 64MP photos with a resolution of 9248 x 6936 pixels.
The announcement of the much anticipated 64MP mobile camera sensor was made by Bin Lin, President and co-founder, Xiaomi, alongside Jesuk Lee, Vice President, Head of Sensor Design for Samsung Electronics. The team mentioned that the Samsung’s GW1 sensor will feature smart ISO supported by Dual Conversion Gain (DCG) technology.
The new Redmi smartphone carrying the 64MP camera will also support real-time hardware-supported high dynamic range (HDR) of up to 100-decibels (dB) for richer hues. This is 40 percent higher than the conventional image sensor that offers a dynamic range of around 60dB. Just to put in reference, the dynamic range of the human eye is roughly 140dB.
