Xiaomi once again won a crown in the field of smartphone cameras with the new Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra-it has the largest camera sensor in the history of mobile phones.

Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra has a camera sensor of up to 1/1.12 inches, which finally broke the record of the largest sensor size maintained by the Nokia PureView 808 (1/1.2 inch) for 9 years in 2012.

Of course, in 2014, Panasonic used to put a 1-inch large sensor in the Lumix DMC-CM1, but strictly speaking, it is a camera with an Android operating system, not a mobile phone.

So, what does a larger image sensor mean to mobile phone users? The camera of a mobile phone captures light through the sensor, so the larger the size of the sensor, the more light it can capture in a short period of time. The large sensor means that you can get clearer photos in dim light conditions without triggering functions such as “night mode”.

The rear lens design of Mi 11 Ultra is different from that of Xiaomi Mi 11. Due to the size of the larger module, the upper part of the entire body is a lens. There are three different sets of lenses. ——The main camera is a GN2 sensor, with a 1/1.12 inch custom large background, 1.4um pixel size, which can be combined into a four-in-one 2.8um large pixel. It is currently the largest mobile phone sensor and is very similar to Sony’s only 1-inch display Close to the black card camera. In addition to the main camera, Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra also has a 48-megapixel wide-angle lens and a 48-megapixel telephoto lens that support a 128-degree viewing angle. Both are Sony IMX586 sensors, and they are the main camera cameras of the previous Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra mobile phones and are called triple-camera cameras.

Compared with the 50x zoom of the Xiaomi 11 Pro, the Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra can support up to 120x telephoto and has a better zoom function.

In terms of video, all three lenses can support 8K video, so you can shoot at any 8, telephoto and wide-angle focal lengths.

As a small idea, Xiaomi is equipped with a 1.1-inch AMOLED screen on the back of the phone. It is convenient for selfie enthusiasts to adjust the position when using the rear camera to take pictures, and you can also turn it off when you don’t need it. In addition, if the phone battery is dead, you can also turn on the ultra power saving mode to use this small display screen for calls and emergency applications.
