Xiaomi has announced that its upcoming flagship smartphone, the Mi 12T Pro, will use a 200MP camera sensor, most likely Samsung’s ISOCELL HP1. The 200MP sensor was released over a year ago. However, the South Korean tech giant’s flagship camera sensor hasn’t been used in any smartphone for quite some time. The first smartphone to use Samsung’s ISOCELL HP1 camera sensor – the Motorola X30 Pro – only launched in China last month.
It now appears that the ISOCELL HP1 camera sensor is making its way to more smartphones. Last week, the Motorola Edge 30 Ultra with a 200MP sensor was launched in India. Now, Xiaomi CEO Lei Jun has announced that the company’s upcoming flagship smartphone will feature a 200MP imaging system. Considering that the Samsung ISOCELL HP1 is the only smartphone high-end camera sensor with 200MP resolution, we think it is the sensor that Xiaomi uses in its flagship smartphones.
The Mi 12T Pro is said to use Samsung’s 200MP camera with F1.69 aperture, phase detection autofocus (PDAF) and optical image stabilization (OIS). The Mi 12T could use Samsung’s less advanced 108MP camera sensor. Both smartphones will make their global debut on October 4, 2022.
In addition to being able to capture native 200MP images, the Samsung ISOCELL HP1 offers 16-in-1 binning, with multiple resolutions from 12MP (2.56μm pixel size) to 50MP (1.28μm pixel size). Samsung has another 200MP camera sensor in its store, the ISOCELL HP3, which was launched last June. It has the industry’s smallest pixel size at just 0.56μm. According to Samsung, it can focus faster than its predecessor and capture sharper HDR images with its new stacked image algorithm.
The Galaxy S23 Ultra also uses a 200MP camera. However, various reports suggest that it will feature a new 200MP camera sensor. The South Korean tech giant has taken a similar approach with its 108MP camera sensor. Its first 108MP sensor is the ISOCELL HMX, which is used in Xiaomi phones, while Samsung’s own Galaxy S20 Ultra uses the slightly updated ISOCELL HM1 sensor.
