Xiaomi isn’t much of a ultra high end, overly expensive smartphone maker, but its got a knack for firsts for well bragging rights– the Xiaomi Mi 9 was the first handset in the world released with the Snapdragon 855 chipset, the Mi MIX being the revolutionary worlds first bezeless phone, and now it looks like they are in the hunt again to be the first phone with a 64MP camera.
That’s according to a line of code in the camera app of the developer kit for the upcoming MIUI 10, discovered by XDA Developers – MIUI is Xiaomi’s UI which is a heavily customized Android.
The code has multiple lines that make reference to 64MP photography, and it looks like the lines are for a watermark that would be laid over pictures taken by a phone.
We have reason to believe this code references a future smartphone’s camera, because Samsung recently announced a 64MP sensor for smartphones, which tops the 48MP seen on several current handsets, including the Xiaomi Mi 9, Mi 9T, Redmi K20 Pro and Redmi K20.
It looks like a future Xiaomi device could use the 64MP sensor, and at the moment we don’t know of any other phones that will.
With all this informations provided, we still dont know if this tech will be released on Mi MIX 4 or Mi 10. Just stay tunned!
